Once the Healers and witnesses had given statements to several more Aurors, St
Mungo's was reopened to the public. No sooner had the doors opened than Peter and Lily
rushed in, demanding to know the location of the Potters.
"Mia!"
Mia let out a sob when she saw her friend and rushed to wrap her arms around the
other witch.
"Oh, thank God you're all right," Lily said as she hugged her tightly. "I saw the Dark
Mark above the hospital, and I tried fire-calling everyone to see if they knew anything, but
Peter was the only one home. What happened?"
"The Dark Mark is above the hospital?" Mia asked, brows raised high as she pulled
away to look at Lily. She took notice as Peter slipped by them to greet James, Sirius, and
Remus at the end of the corridor where they sat outside of her mother's room.
"I was a few streets over at a chapel. Petunia got married today. Naturally, I needed
to get the hell out of there as soon as possible." Lily offered a small smile, and Mia actually
let out a short laugh at the joke. It felt good to laugh. "I was out front chatting with my
mum when I saw the mark in the sky. I Apparated to Alice's house since it was the closest
with a working Floo, and we tried getting hold of everyone. What happened?"
"Death Eaters attacked the hospital," Mia explained. "We were here because Jamie
and Sirius were in a little accident." She noticed the way Lily gasped and looked over Mia's
shoulder to take note of James and Sirius's current condition before giving a relieved exhale
at seeing they were physically all right. "Mum was... Mum was having a meeting with the
board. Malfoy's father brought in phials of dragon pox, and they broke; anyone near him
was infected."
"Oh my God. Your family?" Lily whispered, horrified.
Mia nodded. "Mum."
"Can they—?"
"No. Nothing."
