Harry started to shift awkwardly lying next to her. He sat up and ran a hand through
his hair as though he were attempting to fix it, which of course, accomplished nothing.
"We should go down to breakfast. I doubt he slept well after last night."
"Good," Mia said bitingly. "Miserable son of a bitch left me." She shrugged when
Harry turned to stare at her incredulously. "What? I can love him and still be incredibly
pissed off, which I am. If we owned a dog house, he'd be sleeping in it. In human form."
A teasing grin tugged at Harry's lips. "Are you sure you're still Hermione?"
"Yes. It's just... now I don't hold back as much. The more you live, the fewer
fucks you give, and I've lived an additional eight years, you know. Don't I look good for
my age?" she asked with a wink.
Harry's face turned red as he looked her over, but then he grimaced. "Well, if you
weren't gross before because you were like my sister, you're definitely gross now because
you're my—Merlin, Hermione, you're my aunt."
They both burst into loud laughter.
"I did mother you quite a bit at Hogwarts," she said in between giggles.
"Fair enough." Harry smiled before sobering. "I think you should go and see Sirius."
"You're all right with it?"
He nudged her side gently and shrugged. "I'll live."
Mia sighed and reached out to brush the hair from his forehead again, whispering,
"Boy Who Lived."
"Man-Who-Lived-Despite-His-Godfather-Snogging-His-Best-Mate," Harry
corrected her cheekily.
Mia snorted and shook her head, figuring that it was best to leave him thinking that
it was just snogging for the time being. If she remembered correctly, Harry was never the
one to be comfortable with public displays of affection, something he would certainly need
to get over very soon.
"I love you, Harry Potter."
"I love you, Hermione Gr—Wait. You're a Potter now, aren't you?"
"Yes," she replied, looking down at the duplicate Potter bracelet she wore on her
wrist; the original bracelet, of course, had been left to Lily.
"If we were at Hogwarts, and I pulled out the map, what would it say your name
is?"
