Mia shrugged her shoulders, looking over her shoulder at the inside of the house.
"Just doing a little redecorating. I'm almost done. I'd say let's all sit down to a cuppa, but
there's glass all over the floor, and I don't want anyone to get hurt."
"You could stop breaking things, then," Sirius quietly suggested.
Just like that, Mia's eyes flared again, and she scowled down at Sirius. She tunnelled
her glare into the back of his head furiously before she turned, stepped back inside the
house, and slammed the door shut.
Remus sighed. "I can't believe you told her about Marlene."
"That name sounds familiar. Wasn't she an Order member?" Harry asked.
"Yes," Sirius replied.
"But Hermione didn't like her?"
"Tele-Portkeyed her into the Black Lake once, if I remember," Remus said with a
proud smile. "Never did like her much."
"McKinnon wasn't too kind in regards to the werewolf population," Sirius told
Harry and Ron. "Remember that list we were talking about?"
"What's a Tele-Portkey?" Harry asked.
"Invention of Mia's," Remus said. "Like a Portkey but charmed to another item so
instead of setting a random object to a specific location, the objects are charmed to be
redirected to one another."
"Like magnets?"
Remus nodded. "Exactly. Mia charmed coins into Tele-Portkeys and always kept
some in her pockets. She threatened that she fed one to the giant squid."
Ron gawked. "She really sent a girl into the Black Lake?"
"Did she die?" Harry asked nervously.
"Yeah, but not from that." Sirius frowned. "Marlene died months after I last saw
her. By then, she was dating one of the Prewetts, can't remember which. Not like it matters,
she was killed by Death Eaters about a week after Gideon and Fabian died."
Ron frowned at the mention of his uncles.
"That's horrible," Harry muttered.
"That was war," Sirius said with a sigh. "Merlin, that was life."
"Is Hermione really that pissed off over a girl who died twenty years ago?" Ron
asked.
