Lily nodded, giving each of them a last glance before taking off toward
Dumbledore's office.
Once she was out of sight, James turned to the rest of them. "So... Evans knows."
Mia nodded. "Clearly."
"Wait, what?" Remus blinked. "She knows? As in about me?"
"Unless she's secretly dating a vampire, I'm pretty sure that little speech was all
about you, mate. I'm going to talk to Dumbledore later; I need a cigarette," Sirius said as
he turned down the hallway toward the Quidditch pitch.
"I'll make sure he doesn't get into trouble," James offered, following after him.
"Are you okay?" Mia asked Remus, placing her soft palm against his cheek. At the
touch, Remus flinched which caused Mia to frown. "Don't do that. Please don't let one
horrible person ruin what you've worked so hard for. I don't care what he said, or what
your father once said before he changed his views." She leant up and kissed him gently,
frowning when he refused to return the affection. "Remus, you are the very embodiment
of goodness."
Remus swallowed. "I'm still a werewolf."
"And you're a wizard, a brilliant one at that. And I'm going to prove it to you." A
sudden thought occurred to her. "In fact, you're going to help me with a project. We're
going to learn Defence this year, properly, and not from that awful wizard."
"I don't like that look in your eye," Remus said, raising a nervous brow. "You look
like Sirius when you get that look in your eye. It's dangerous."
She grinned up at him. "Kiss me, and I'll make it go away."
He hesitated only a moment before leaning down and gently brushing his lips
against hers.
She pressed her body up against his and moaned into his mouth on purpose, and
soon, he was slanting his mouth against her and moulding to her form tenderly but
purposefully, as though he were using this moment with her to remind himself that he was
human. Mia did not mind. A part of her wanted him to use all of her if it would bring him
back to the confident wizard she had snogged all summer.
It was a gentle and loving moment until Mia smiled and pulled his bottom lip
between her teeth and gave it a soft nip. Something primal inside of Remus ignited, and
suddenly, Mia found herself being pulled down the hallway and into a broom cupboard.
