Mia groaned in irritation, and Remus growled, thankful at least in knowing that the
Silencing Charm worked from the other side. While they could hear everything outside the
curtains, no one would have been able to hear them. Remus began searching for his wand,
frustrated that their wondrous afterglow had been interrupted.
"I've got it," Mia mumbled as she pulled down the Silencing Charm wandlessly.
"What?!" Remus snapped.
"Sorry," Peter mumbled.
"Didn't I tell you to fuck off an hour ago?"
"Remus," Mia scolded him even though she actually looked quite pleased with the
tone he had taken.
"That was two hours ago," Peter uttered quietly.
Remus could not help the suddenly smug grin that crossed his face. He mouthed
"two hours" down at Mia, who swatted him and giggled.
"I thought I'd come and tell you both before someone else went and told
McGonagall."
Mia sat up quickly. "Tell us what?"
"The Carrows challenged Sirius to a wizard's duel."
"Fuck," Remus muttered in frustration. "We'll be right out. Where are they?"
"Pitch," Peter replied.
"Get dressed." There was no way in hell he would unlock the curtains until she was
properly covered, considering Peter now had a history of being overly curious when it came
to Mia. It was something he was determined to eventually address, but the timing always
seemed off—usually too close to the full moon.
"McGonagall's down in the village," Remus said as he pulled his trousers up over
his hips. "Where's Filch?"
"By the gates," Peter answered.
"So, we only have to worry about Lily, then." Remus sighed. "Peter, scurry off and
make sure that she doesn't show up; Mia and I will be down there as soon as we can."
