Remus cleared his throat. "To be fair, she's never worn a blindfold, and we weren't
exactly in a bedroom at the time."
Sirius let out a bark of laughter as the brick wall began to give way. "You've been
holding out on me, kitten. We're keeping this," he said, gently touching the knot on the
back of her head where the blindfold had been secured.
Mia shook her head in exasperation as she felt Sirius take one hand while Remus
took the other. "Mother of Merlin, how am I going to live with the two of you?"
They led her through the opening into the Alley, where she was grateful to not hear
that many people nearby. All she needed now was to wake up with her photo in the Daily
Prophet, Sirius and Remus being suspected of witch-napping or worse.
"I think we'll all get along famously," Sirius said, gently touching her elbow as he
helped direct her over the cobblestones without falling. "Any problems we have, a few
Silencing Charms can easily fix; isn't that right, Moony?"
"Not sure why you'd even bother," Remus said with a chuckle. "Any noises Mia
makes, I've already heard in abundance."
Mia flushed, annoyed over the utter lack of jealousy that she felt was needed to keep
the men from openly talking like this with one another. Really, they could each do with at
least a dash of shame.
"And you're fine with hearing Sirius?" she asked, hoping to provoke at least one of
them to embarrassment.
"I shared a bathroom with Sirius for seven years, Mia. If he's as loud with you as he
is with himself, then it's nothing I haven't already heard."
"By yourself?" She turned her blindfolded head in Sirius's direction as though he
could see the strange disbelief in her eyes.
"What?" Sirius questioned innocently. "I'm a very talented lover, and I like to let
myself know when I'm doing something I like."
They burst into laughter, and Mia felt the stress of the previous months melt off of
her shoulders. Grief was heavy, and war was painful, but somehow the two wizards at her
sides had a way of healing her pain.
"All right," Sirius said with excitement. "Ready to see our new place?"
"Yes! Get this blindfold off of me!"
