Unfortunately, when it had been over a month since she and Sirius had been
intimate in any way, shape, or form aside from snogging, she knew she had to let the secret
of her scar out, at least in part. Sirius was already becoming suspicious of the fact that she
would not let him touch her, which resulted in two minor arguments: one where Sirius had
a slight panic attack in thinking that Mia had rekindled feelings for Remus, and the other
where he had actually blacked out after talking himself into thinking that she was pregnant.
"You certainly are reliable in a crisis," Mia said sarcastically, looking down at Sirius
as he regained consciousness.
"I would say he's a bit dramatic," Remus said, having walked in on the tail end of
the argument, "but when you and I hadn't shagged in a while, I didn't exactly behave very
well to you acting all suspicious either. Then again, I only yelled a bit and walked away."
"I prefer to think of it as a tantrum," Mia said, smirking when Remus narrowed his
eyes at her. "Will you go and get the others? I want to get this over with."
"Everyone?"
"Pack meeting. Marauder meeting. Bloody House meeting. Mary, Alice, and Frank
will probably end up catching a glimpse if I'm not careful in the future. Considering two
of them are going to be Aurors," she said, groaning in frustration, "it might be beneficial
to not have them come to their own conclusions."
"They'll understand," Remus assured her.
"Understand what?" Sirius asked, his heavy-lidded eyes looking up at them.
"You are keeping a secret?"
Mia scowled at her boyfriend. "Don't sit up yet. You hit your head when you fainted,
you prat."
"I did not faint." Sirius glowered at the accusation, but reached a hand around and
rubbed a sore spot on the back of his head. His narrowed gaze followed Remus as he left
the common room. "Why're you still keeping secrets from me? And why does Moony
know?"
Mia sighed, hating the accusatory tone he used. "Because Remus was there when it
happened. Sort of. I'll explain it all soon."
"How'd I end up on the sofa?" Sirius asked, looking around curiously.
