"Why's that?"
"Not alone in here."
Mia frowned. "You could have gone to Jamie's or Remus's rooms if you were lonely,
you know."
"They're not as pretty as you. Well, Prongs is. But that hair... Merlin."
"Remus is plenty pretty." Mia smirked at him and sat up straight, tugging her
nightdress down so that it completely covered her legs. It was not that he hadn't seen her
bare skin before, but at least this way, if someone did walk in, they could not be accused of
anything inappropriate.
"If I crawled in Moony's bed, his girlfriend would get right jealous," Sirius muttered.
Mia laughed as she imagined how she would react if she woke up in the morning to
find Sirius snuggled up against what would certainly be an uncomfortable-looking Remus.
"But you think it's wise to crawl inside said girlfriend's bed in the hopes that her werewolf
boyfriend isn't the jealous type?"
"Moony 'n I have an understandin' when it comes to Mia," Sirius said, and his tone
made Mia stop and listen more closely, wondering if he even knew who he was talking to.
"I know how he feels, he knows how I feel, she feels... she feels everything."
Mia frowned, her brow furrowing. What did that mean? Everything?
"Just 'cause I want her too, doesn't mean I don't want them both happy. So happy.
Do you know how happy they are?" Sirius smiled, his eyes closed as he leant against the
mattress, bunching her blankets into his arms and constructing a makeshift pillow as he
mumbled, "Wow. Merlin, that's love."
"Sirius?" Mia whispered, suddenly aware that she had not breathed through his
short tirade.
His eyes briefly opened, one appearing heavier than the other. When recognition
hit him, Sirius smiled up at her crookedly. He beamed at her as though they hadn't just
been talking. "Hi, kitten. When'd you get home? Why're you in my bed?"
"This is my bed," she informed him.
Sirius shook his head, his eyebrows raised. "Moony's not gonna like that."
"I thought you had an understanding with Remus?"
"Yeah." Sirius scoffed. "I understand that he's gonna scratch my face off if he smells
me on you. Go back to your own room, Mia."
