"Absolutely not. I want to get married on the Summer Solstice. Plus, it'll fall a week
before the full moon, which gives us enough time to have a short honeymoon and be back
in time to be with Remus."
He craned his neck to glance up at her, the effort to do so looked painful. "Please
don't schedule your honeymoon around my needs. I can be alone."
Sirius scoffed incredulously. "Over my dead body."
Mia dipped her head in agreement.
They still argued constantly about their relationship, their living arrangements,
future careers, money, and who did the dishes last, but the one thing they never argued
about was taking care of family. It was a silent agreement that, after leaving Remus alone
for so many years, the pair of them would never abandon him on the full moon again as
long as they lived.
"We'll both be dead if we can't find a place to get married." She took a seat on the
sofa beside Remus, scooting closer and closer until he wrapped an arm around her
shoulders and she cuddled into his chest, pouting. "I wish the manor still... Wait. I've
been meaning to ask for months. What happened to the manor? I don't know why but I
always just assumed it was destroyed in the war."
Sirius shook his head. "No way. James put up blood wards. Only Potters could get
in and out of that thing once he moved to Godric's Hollow permanently."
Her eyes widened with delight as she sat up straight. "We could get married at the
manor! Like Jamie and Lily did!" She threw an apologetic smile to Remus when he cringed
at her volume.
"What's going on?" Harry asked as he walked into the room, likely summoned by
all the shouting and shrieking.
"We're getting married at Potter Manor," Mia declared with a grin. "I can't wait to
show it to you, Harry. It's the most beautiful place in the world, and there are gorgeous
orchards out back, and a river that cuts through the land―"
"We have a manor?" Harry asked, confused.
Mia's smile faded as she stood up, walking across the room to smack Sirius on the
arm. "What the hell have you spent the last few years telling Harry about regarding the
family?"
