James turned around so fast that he lost his footing again and fell back to the floor,
though he still had his wand in hand and suddenly aimed it at Sirius.
"What the fuck are you trying to do, Mia?" Sirius gestured to his bloody arm. "This is
not a Quidditch injury! This is where a fucking antler stabbed me. Right here!" He pointed
at it repeatedly. "Stabbed me right here!"
"Jamie, it is not your business who I'm intimate with," she insisted, ignoring Sirius's
wailing in the background.
"Intimate?" James scoffed, making the same face that he used when Tilly tried to

"He stays!" James yelled, suddenly awake again. "They can't just use my sister and

"I did not use her!" Remus yelled, suddenly angrier than he had been since Mia
arrived. She frowned at the sight, realising that in his drunken stupor, James had crossed a
