"I thought you were messing about when you said you were going to try that!" Lily
gaped at her in amusement. "So, did you get your results?"
"I did very well," Mia answered, refusing to give away any more information.
"She's being modest. It's not a good look for her." Remus chuckled as he sat down
opposite Mia, grinning at the plate of food already waiting for him. He gave a nod of hello
to Lily—completely missing the way her face flushed bright red at the sight of him—before
he began fixing a cup of tea for Mia. "She got Outstandings on everything—even Muggle
Studies and Divination."
"You've always said that Divination is rubbish!" Lily scolded her friend.
"It is, and I've basically just proved it." Mia shrugged, smiling gratefully as Remus
handed her the cup of tea. "I didn't even take the ridiculous class, faked my way through
the exam, and still ended up with an Outstanding."
"How'd you do, Lily?" Remus asked. He raised his brow looking concerned when
Lily refused to make eye contact with him. "Everything all right?"
"Calm down," Mia mumbled as she elbowed her friend, having realised that Lily
was reliving the conversation they'd had on the train where Mia had confessed details of
her sexual exploits with Sirius and Remus.
"I'm fine," Lily lied quickly, forcing herself to look Remus in the face, but
immediately, she let out a nervous laugh and averted her gaze once more.
Remus turned his attention to Mia, who shrugged and shook her head, mouthing
"girl stuff" before reaching for the bowl of porridge he had served her.
"I umm... I got nine Outstandings," Lily said, looking a bit like the wind had been
taken out of her sails. "My parents were really excited. It would have been a record
if someone," she muttered, eyeing Mia, "hadn't decided to be a show-off."
Mia laughed in reply.
"Actually, it would have tied for a record," Remus said. "Sirius got nine
Outstandings too."
Lily paled, her mouth falling open as she stammered, searching for words. Then,
when the colour returned to her face, she screeched, "What? How is that even possible?
He never revises! Does Sirius Black even know where the library is?"
