began falling asleep in the big armchair, she gave up and decided to head to bed as James
had done an hour earlier.
She put her book away on a nearby shelf and paced toward the stairs. She was not
three steps up before the walls around her reflected a flash of bright blue light.
Mia turned quickly, drawing her wand on instinct as she slowly made her way back
into the drawing room, a Stunning Spell at the ready. The room was still dark, as she had
extinguished the lamp before going to bed, so she prepared herself for an attack before
whispering, "Lumos!"
No one attacked. Her focus was drawn to an unmoving shadow on the floor, and
her Animagus senses kicked in when she smelled blood.
A lot of blood.
Her heart stilled for a moment when she realised what the blue light had been.
An emergency Portkey.
The emergency Portkey keyed to Potter Manor that she had given to...
"Sirius!"
