"Pleased that I'm with Hermione?"
Clearing her throat, she said, "I am."
Lifting a brow, he asked, "Pleased that... how did you put it? Defiling her?"
Molly bristled, looked back at Mia once as though trying to remind herself of
previous threats, and stiffly nodded.
Sirius grinned slyly. "Really? Even though she's only nineteen?"
Molly's nostrils flared at the obvious attempt at provocation.
"And she's living with me? Playing house? Living in sin? Shacking up? You, Molly
Weasley, are pleased with all of this?"
"Pads," Remus cautioned.
"I am... fine," Molly said through clenched teeth.
"Did you Imperius her?" Sirius asked, turning around and looking at Mia.
A few people laughed until they realised that neither Remus nor Sirius were even
smiling.
When all attention was brought back to Mia, she rolled her eyes. "Come now, love.
You know I've never been very good at Unforgivables. My aim is off."
"You didn't drink anything she gave you, did you, Molly?" Remus asked, a look of
concern etched onto his face.
Mia let her mouth fall open, an offended gasp escaping her. "I did not poison her,
Remus!"
Remus smirked at her. "'The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.'"
Mia glared at him.
"No offence, love," Sirius said with a laugh, "but your reputation precedes you."
She narrowed her eyes at the both of them and then turned, pretending to be
offended, and walked out of the room.
When she was certain to be gone and out of hearing range, Sirius turned back to
Molly, his attention engaged like a spoilt child. "What did she blackmail you with?"
After Molly left, taking Ron and Ginny back to the Burrow with her, Sirius insisted
that the Lupins stay the night, knowing that Mia would love to see them in the morning.
