"Hey, kitten." Sirius smiled at her as he walked into their room, practically jumping
onto his side of the bed where he wrapped his arms around his pillow and yawned loudly.
"What're you looking at?"
She showed him the picture. It took several moments before he caught sight of the
pair of them in the background and barked a laugh. "You were insatiable."
"Still am," she said, testing the waters.
Sirius stared at her for a long second and then smiled, leaning forward and kissing
her briefly on the lips before rolling over. "Goodnight, love," he said and closed his eyes
to fall asleep.
She glared at his back.
October 5th, 1998Remus's Floo erupted in green flames, and an irate Mia Potter stepped into the old
Lupin Cottage, her wild mane of long curls flying behind her as she stormed into his kitchen
where he was reading the Daily Prophet.
Mia rolled through the room, snatching up Remus's mug of tea and taking a drink,
then gagging and rushing to the sink to spit it out. "Ugh!"
"Now you know why I eat at your place so often," Remus muttered
unapologetically.
"Merlin, I knew you were bad at Potions, Remus, but it's tea." She winced and
grabbed the nearby kettle, dumping out the contents before refilling it with water to start
a new batch.
"Dora made that," Remus said with a smirk. "I don't have the heart to tell her it's
crap."
Mia smiled slyly. "Happy wife, happy life."
Remus nodded and touched his index finger to the tip of his nose. "So, what's
wrong with you this morning? Not that I don't enjoy your company, but I wasn't expecting
to see you until later tonight for moonrise."
