"Or with magic... to enchant brooms and then fly on them," Remus said
sarcastically. He laughed when Mia smacked his arm.
"Don't get smart with me, Moony," she scolded with a smirk on her face. "Go and
get my bra before Sirius feeds it to the Giant Squid."
He kissed her, muttering against her lips, "Do I look like I play fetch?"

to save Harry. Was he trying to save Lily as well? Mia stopped and scanned the rest of the
area in the hopes of finding the real culprit. Before she could spot anything other than a
