"One thing she doesn't like for sure is her sexual preferences being shared in front
of her drunken brother!" Mia shouted, brandishing her wand and aiming it at the two. Sirius
and Remus had the grace to look properly scolded for their actions, and threw an apologetic
glance at her before glaring at one another and then turning their backs.
"Gryffindors are red and gold... not... not scarlet," James muttered under his
breath like a petulant child.
Mia rounded on her brother with wide eyes. "Did you just inadvertently call me a
scarlet woman, James Charlus Potter?"
"What?" James looked up at her, genuinely confused. "No... I called Remus a
scarlet woman. Man. Moon. Moony. Scarlet Moony."
Sirius stifled a laugh.
Remus groaned. "Why am I still being singled out?"
"Need I remind you that he stabbed both of us?" Sirius gestured to his bleeding arm.
"Plus, I don't heal as fast as you. We're even. We're sharing this stupid punishment."
"You two already share too much if you ask me," James complained.
Sirius, clearly fed up, threw two fingers up at James and said, "Well worth it."
James started forward, and Sirius ducked behind Remus with a yelp, but Mia jumped
in between her brother and the other two, halting his movement by pushing on his
shoulders lightly. The jolt to his motion caused his balance to recalibrate, sending him to
the floor.
Mia frowned, pinching the bridge of her nose as a headache loomed over her.
"Remus, go and ask Mary for a Sober-Up Potion please. The last time Jamie got drunk, he
woke up in the broom shed naked." She most certainly did not want to see that again. He
had ended up with a sullied reputation and splinters in terrible places, and she had spent
the day trying to convince everyone that her brother did not have strange broom fetishes.
"No!" James stood back up and glared at Remus. "No one leaves. I have to keep
my eyes on them at all times."
"Because if I send Remus out of the room he'll sneak off and have sex with me?"
Mia asked, rolling her eyes.
"You're right!" James nodded, clearly not catching her sarcasm. "I'll follow him."
"Okay good. While you and Remus are gone, I'll stay in here and shag Sirius."
