"How did Peter know?" Remus asked. "I mean, I know he was the one who blabbed,
but... I guess I was too worried about Prongs to think about it at the time."
"Which means that he's been spying on our conversations. It's been months since
I've slept with either of you." Mia looked up at the two wizards, ignoring when James made
a face. "That means he's had this information for a while and has just been sitting on it
until it became useful for some reason."
James chimed in, looking a bit more sober. "I don't think Pete would purposely―"
"Stop trusting Wormtail!" Mia yelled, angrily cutting him off.
"Mia, you're being a little―" Sirius began.
"No!" She stood up, furious. She could feel the way her eyes flashed amber and her
hair sparked; all three boys stared at her cautiously. "Either one of two things happened.
He overheard you two talking about having sex with me, or he actually witnessed it for
himself by shifting around the dorms in his Animagus form."
When they did not give her the reaction she wanted, she added, "Which means that
he's seen us having sex. He's seen me naked."
She almost smiled when she finally saw the flares of anger light within their eyes.
"That little.. ." Sirius began, clenching and unclenching his fists.
"You three deal with him, because if I have to be the one to do it, I'll feed him to
Filch's cat!" Mia roared and turned on her heels, storming out the boys' dormitory and
slamming the door behind her.
Silence filled the room for a brief moment before an echoing thud signalled that
James had finally blacked out on the floor. Sirius let out a loud sigh of relief and walked
over to the corner where James had stowed the two stolen wands. Sirius handed over the
cypress wand to Remus, who took it gratefully and levitated James up into his bed.
Meanwhile, Sirius hissed in pain as he attempted a quick Healing Charm on his arm,
wishing he could go to Madam Pomfrey to have it treated, but knowing he could not. How
was he to explain having been stabbed by a bloody antler while in his own room?
Silently, they began to set the room back in order. There was not much they could
do about the marks on the walls, but it was easy enough to repair the windows and curtains
and clean the blood from the floors.
"We need to talk, Moony."
"Can it wait?" Remus sighed, collapsing into his bed once he adjusted his mattress.
