Frank, Alice, and Mary—who, unlike the Marauders, Mia, and Lily, might
have suspected but had never known Remus's secret—looked a bit shocked, but none of them
carried the horrified expressions that appeared on several Order members' faces at the
simple word: werewolves.
"Werewolves?" Dorcas Meadowes shrieked. "And Remus is... is... ?"
"A good man," James chimed in to Sirius's relief, narrowing his eyes. "And one
who's currently risking his life in a situation none of us would dare enter, all to gain
information for the Order. So maybe show a little sodding respect."
"That's hardly the point," Sturgis Podmore snapped, turning to stare up at
Dumbledore. "You've put all our lives at risk by letting one of those in with us."
"One of those?" Lily hissed and actually stood up, glaring down at Sturgis. "Remus is

"Get her out of here, Black!" Moody snapped. "McKinnon, while it may offend
your delicate sensibilities, this bloody war doesn't just affect you. Wizards, goblins,
werewolves... Hell, You-Know-Who is trying to get giants involved."
Sirius slowly approached his girlfriend, silently pleading with her to lower her wand
while James kept his wand trained on her, his firmly-placed shield protecting the rest of
the Order from her wrath.
Despite edging closer, Mia did not lower her wand or even take a single step
backward. Sirius could feel her magic pulsing in the air around her, and he could almost
hear the way her mind ticked with fury.
Mia's rage was palpable, so much so that she could not blame Sirius and James for
not touching her as they all but herded her into another room of Tuts Tower. The rest of
