very firm line. "I loved her with everything I... I.. ." he stammered and locked eyes with
Mia before turning away from them all and storming across the room.
"Gonna marry her then, Moony?" James muttered as Mia affectionately brushed
hair from his face.
"Planning her betrothal for her?" Sirius wondered amusedly.
"Not going to let m'sister get a reputation like the other girls you go around
shaggin', Sirius." James glared up at his best friend. "She's better than that!"
Sirius recoiled from the words and looked down, guilt plastered across his face.
"Jamie!" Mia chided. "No one else knows about Sirius. These are your best friends,
and you know they would never do anything to hurt me. Please, stop overreacting.
Especially since there are more important things to worry about."
"Like what?"
"Like for instance, how did you find out that I've had sex with them?" she finally
asked, glad that no more threats were being issued between the three boys. "I don't imagine
either of them is stupid enough to tell you." She glared up at Sirius with a raised brow, and
he shook his head. "So either you walked in on them talking about it, or... ?"
"Peter told me," James confessed.
"Of course he did," she hissed. "And how did Peter find out? Did you tell him?" She
looked up at Sirius and Remus, who had re-joined the conversation now that he'd had a
chance to collect himself.
"No!" Sirius answered.
"I never told anyone about us except Sirius," Remus replied.
Sirius nodded. "Same here. Who all have you told about us?"
"Only Lily," Mia whispered.
James looked up with bright eyes. "Evans was here? Did she say anything 'bout
me?"
Mia rolled her eyes at her brother. "Not now, Jamie."
"How do we know that she didn't go blabbing?" Sirius asked.
"Because Lily can keep a secret just as well as the four of us can—better even. She's
known that Remus is a werewolf for years. Despite being one of her best friends since
childhood, it still took you," she said, glaring a bit at Sirius, "being a reckless prat for Snape
to find out."
