Remus's eyes briefly widened, and he turned to look at her. "What?"
Mia watched with interest as his nostrils flared, and she could tell that he was
unconsciously searching her for Sirius's scent. When he instead smelled James, he rose a
confused brow.
She smirked, feeling proud that she had somehow thwarted him.
"Put your scowl away. I'm clearly not there with him. Nor was I last night. I slept
in Jamie's room until the snoring prat drove me out at the crack of dawn."
Suddenly, a loud yell came from down the hall, drawing their attention.
"Fuck off, Potter! My head hurts!"
"So does mine, and I still have to bloody go to breakfast with the family!"
"Stop shoving me, arsehole! I am not above biting you!"
"Go ahead and try it, Pads. Just you see what happens!"
Dorea's eyes lit up mischievously at the sound of her sons arguing with one another.
Mia sipped her tea, cheerfully muttering, "Sleeping beauties are up."
"Go sit on your own antlers, you pushy sod!"
"Stop yelling, dickhead! I have a headache!"
"How very charming," Dorea commented dryly. "It really is a wonder Miss Evans
hasn't succumbed to James's many marriage proposals over the years."
Both Mia and Remus stifled their laughter. Charlus would have been beside himself
over the language the boys were using, especially in the presence of their mother and Mia,
but Dorea looked more than entertained by the pair who were slowly making their way
toward the dining room, still shouting at one another.
"Between the two of those boys, I'm liable to never have grandchildren." Dorea
sighed in disappointment before turning her attention to her daughter. "You'll be certain
to carry on the Potter line for us, won't you, Mia, dear?"
Remus's eyes widened in absolute horror.
Mia did her best to hold back the plethora of emotions at his response—all
negative—in understanding. While most young men would likely baulk at hearing their
girlfriend's mother request future grandchildren, she knew that Remus was panicking over
his lycanthropy and likely over the conversation they had yet to have regarding the future
of their relationship should they stay together after leaving Hogwarts.
