The moment she realised it, an image fell into her vision, and there, between the
two trees, was a wounded and bloodied wolf.
As Mia's eyes opened, she shifted into her human form, shouting, "Remus!"
Turning, she spotted Padfoot staring up at her with wide eyes. "Sirius, get up!" she
ordered, standing from the bed and vanishing out the door and down the long stretch of
hallway.
"Mia?" Sirius said when he finally reached their bedroom in human form.
In her panic, she had practically destroyed their bookshelf looking for something,
tossing books aside like rubbish. Under normal circumstances, she would never treat
volumes in such a careless way. Under normal circumstances, she might have even used
magic to delicately search for what she needed.
"Mia, what're you doing?"
She spun to face her boyfriend with a small book in her hand. "I know where Remus
is."
Sirius's eyes widened dramatically and he snatched the book out of her hands, not
bothering to look at what it was. "What do you mean you know where Remus is?"
"I had a vision," she explained as she stood and flipped open the book in his hands,
frantically looking through the pages.
"A vision? Mia, I know we joke about you being a Seer, but―"
"Not like that," she answered quickly. "Remember how I told you that when I
meditated in Animagus form I could see the bonds? How I used to be able to track you,
Jamie, and Remus when I was in the Room of Requirement? How I saw the Pack Bond
before we provoked it?"
"You can see it still? You really found him?"
"I think so." Her voice shook with emotion when she spoke. "Does Whinfell Forest
mean anything to you?"
"It's in Cumbria, isn't it? That's where one of the pack groups was rumoured to be
near," he said, running a hand through his hair. "Oh fuck. Are you sure? We need to be
sure, Mia. There's a full moon tonight, and if I'm going to bring word to Moody, we need
to be absolutely certain before sending in a group to retrieve Remus from a forest we
already know is populated by werewolves."
"I saw two trees," she said, pulling the book into her hands.
