"Moony, it's the morning after my birthday, and I have a naked witch in my bed.
Why the fuck would I be wearing pants?" Sirius asked. "What do you want?"
"If you want me to leave, fine," Remus said and turned back toward the door. "I
just naturally assumed that when the chance came to get back at James for trying to skewer
us last year, you'd want to take it."
Sirius and Mia both widened their eyes in anticipation and excitement before
shouting, "What?"
An hour later, Remus, Sirius, Peter, and Mia found themselves sitting on the sofa
in James and Lily's common room.
"I feel weird just sitting here," Peter mumbled. "Do you really think that they're...
?"
Sirius laughed. "Oh, yeah."
"And we know this again because... ?" Mia prompted, looking over to Remus,
who was smirking.
"Because I went down to the kitchens this morning to get some coffee, and
overheard the house-elves saying a tray needed to be put together for the Head Boy and
Girl, who requested breakfast be delivered to their room." He grinned wolfishly.
"One tray, one room."
Mia looked at the similar expressions on Sirius and Remus's faces, and could not
ever imagine how she had thought Sirius and James were the true troublemakers; Remus
could clearly hold his own. Though the shortened post-coital bliss between her and Sirius
was irritating, even Mia could not resist the plan Remus had come up with to get back at
James for the drunken "big brother talk" that he had given the three of them the year prior,
shortly after attacking both Sirius and Remus in Animagus form.
"Oh gross," Mia groaned when her vulpine hearing took over; the noises from
beyond the Head Boy's door were much clearer and louder than expected.
"What?" Peter asked, looking at the horrified look on Mia's face and the equally
amused expressions worn by the other two. "What happened?"
"I'm not that loud am I?" Sirius asked with a chuckle.
