Mia's attention then turned to the elder Black sister. Her smile softened, and she
sighed with relief. "Dromeda."
"Mia Potter." Andromeda grinned and moved to embrace her. "You are as lovely
as ever, my dear, and while there were many great things about Hermione Granger, these
two," she said, gesturing to Remus and Sirius, "were absolutely pathetic in your long
absence."
"I think I did pretty well under the circumstances," Sirius said, offended.
Remus scoffed.
"Shall we?" Narcissa asked.
"Mum and I will take the Malfoys in first," Tonks insisted. "Get that over with
quickly before you lot come in."
"No, you two go as well." Mia nudged Sirius and Remus forward. "I... I need a
moment, I think," she muttered quietly and folded her arms in front of her chest, nervously
staring at the tent in front of them all.
Silently, they each nodded and turned to join the largely gathered group, Sirius
waiting an extra moment longer to lean in and kiss her cheek in support.
"We'll get everyone ready," he promised before turning and leaving her to her
thoughts.
Mia turned away from the tent and breathed in deeply, looking forward into the
distant orchards of the Burrow, a part of her wanting to shift into her Animagus form and
disappear into the trees where she could hide away forever. She had barely heard the sound
of footsteps before someone called out to her.
"Hello, Mia Potter."
Mia turned around to come face-to-face with Luna Lovegood.
"Luna? I—How did you—?"
"Oh, I'm sorry," the blonde said, her ethereal voice soft and sweet. "Are we not
calling you that yet?" Her large eyes looked around Mia as though she were examining her
aura or a gathering of wrackspurts.
"You know who I am?"
"Oh, yes. I've always known. But then again, you haven't, have you?"
Mia smiled, nearly choking on a sob that was trying to escape her throat.
