Mia woke on the couch in Dumbledore’s office very confused, and mouth feeling very dry. Her lip was swollen and tender when she touched it, and her head was pounding. “I apologize that I had to knock you out, but you were quite irate earlier.” Dumbledore said, eyes twinkling. Mia was much calmer now, and she realized what she had done.
“Professor, I messed up…” she began, but Dumbledore put his hand up to stop her.
“I know why you were upset, Amelia, and I understand. I believe Trevor deserved to be put in his place. However the way you went about it wasn’t the best choice. If you were experiencing issues with students, it is always best to report it to a faculty member to avoid situations like this.” Mia nodded, knowing she would have to be punished for trying to curse Trevor.
“I cannot overlook a fight, so you will be spending detention for the next month with Mr. Filch.”
Mia cringed. She’d rather scrub 1000 cauldrons for Snape than serve detention with Filch. She wasn’t sure how Susan would react to the news. She would be disappointed that Mia lashed out, but she thought maybe somewhat proud for standing up for herself.
“Yes sir, I understand” she said quietly, looking at the floor.
“Your detention starts today, please stop by the hospital wing to see that lip is taken care of.”
“Yes sir” Mia said, and scurried out of Dumbledore’s office.
Mia had a ton of time to think to herself while in detention with Filch. Since he wasn’t allowed to shackle her to the ceiling by her ankles, she did A LOT of cleaning around the castle. She kept thinking to herself how she would convince McGonagall to teach her into becoming an animagus. She was thinking of Sirius telling her how him, James and Peter learned on their own by a book from the restricted section in the library when it hit her. SIRIUS. She realized. He could teach her, and she could be honest with him on her intentions of becoming one. She smiled to herself as she was scrubbing the floor, her thought only to be interrupted by Filch’s putrid voice.
“ay you, what are you smiling at? Keep scrubbing!”
Mia rolled her eyes when he turned his back, but Mrs. Norris picked up on this and hissed at her. Stupid cat Mia thought, gazing into Mrs. Norris’ yellow eyes. Mrs. Norris gave a wave of her tail and trotted after Filch, the only person who liked this cat. She knew she needed to talk to Remus before getting a chance to see Sirius, she was certain he was probably angry at her for accidently using his nickname.
After detention, Mia hustled through the halls to the Defense against the Dark Arts classroom, hoping to find Remus in his office. When she arrived, there was no sign of him. It was a Friday night, a lot of the teachers liked to head off to the 3 broomsticks for drinks on the weekends, so she figured he was out with his colleagues. This would at least give her the chance to talk to Sirius alone, if he were here. She tip toed up the stairs to the bedroom, to find Sirius asleep in Remus’ bed.
“Sirius” she whispered, and he jumped out of bed quickly, startled by her voice.
“It’s just me, Mia,” she said, sitting on the edge of the bed.
“Geez Love, you scared the living daylights out of me” he chuckled as he lit a candle on the bedside table.
“Sorry” she laughed “I came to ask your help with something.”
Sirius looked at her, curious, what could he possibly help her with?
“I need you to teach me to become an Animagus.” She said.
Sirius chuckled and looked at her with excitement. It’s been too long since he was needed. “You want to become one so you can keep ol’ Moony company during the cycle?” he asked, smiling at her.
“Yes” she replied, hopeful now that he would agree.
“Alright Kitten, ill teach you. It’s very complex though, so make sure you have gotten plenty rest and eat well. I’ll be retreating into the forest here for the full moon next week, we’ll learn it there. Come to the forest after dark on the night of the moon, around 1:00.”
She smiled a huge toothy grin. “Thank you Sirius!!” she threw her arms around him, hugging him tightly.
“I heard about the spectacle in the great hall. How are you feeling?” he asked as they broke their embrace.
“Embarrassed, but also I’m glad I got to show these people I’m not one to mess with. How mad is Remus that I called him Moony in front of everyone?” she asked, fearing to hear the answer.
“Ehh, I wouldn’t say he’s angry… per se.” Sirius started, scratching his head. “Concerned, maybe? You should probably talk to him about that, though”. Mia swallowed. She knew she messed up, but she was hoping her mistake didn’t cost her everything.
When the beginning of the week rolled around, Mia was scrubbing the walls of one of the corridors when she saw the strangest thing out of the corner of her eye. Hermione Granger wasn’t there one moment, but another she was, shoving a gold chain down the front of her robes. Mia had overheard Ron Weasley freak out about her school schedule multiple times in the halls, and she always blew his questions off. This bitch has a time turner Mia thought, envious that a 3rd year got the privilege of having one, if anyone even knew. If Mia had a time turner, she would want to go back and change her calling Remus by his nickname in front of the whole school. She was planning on talking to Remus tonight if he was in his office, trying to think of how to properly apologize for her slip up. She hadn’t talked to him since her outburst with Trevor, outside of a lesson or two that she chose not to linger back from.
“Roswell, times up, see you tomorrow” Filch sneered at her, breaking her out of her clouds of thought.
Mia grabbed her sweater that she had pulled off and hung on a suit of armor, and headed straight for the Remus’ office. She quickly made her way up the stairs, and knocked on the big oak door before poking her head in.
“Come in” mumbled Remus, looking up from his desk and smiling when he saw it was Mia.
“Hey, listen, about last week…” she started, picking at her fingernail anxiously.
“Mia, I’m not upset, just concerned. I’m honestly more concerned at the way you went after Trevor Greentree.” He said, looking at her with concern. “You were so angry you lost complete control”.
“I know, and I’m so so so sorry I called you by your nickname, I didn’t realize it until later, I know that could’ve screwed everything up.” she felt a sense of panic. She knew he said he was more concerned than mad, but part of her didn’t believe him.
“Mia, honey, calm down” he walked over to her and pulled her close. He rested his head on top of hers, and gently stroked her back. “I know it was an accident. The only one who noticed besides me was Dumbledore. I fed him an excuse that might have worked this time, but we just need to be careful. However, if Snape was still in the hall at the time, he would’ve picked up on it and wouldn’t’ve let it rest ‘til he found out about us.”
She looked up at him, tears still glistening in her eyes. “You and Snape don’t get along, do you?” she asked, sniffling.
“Not exactly, our history goes back to our days as students, and it wasn’t always pleasant.” He said. “Really, Mia, are you alright? What got into you that made you attack Trevor like that?”
“He just said some slut shaming things like everyone has been, but I had had it last week. My anger just got the best of me, that’s all.” She said, breaking their embrace and sitting on the couch.
“Promise me that next time you come find me and let me take care of it? I have a feeling they wouldn’t act the same after a teacher went after them” he sat down next to her and took her hand.
“I’ll do my best” she said “I hope there isn’t a next time because I showed this school not to mess with me though”
She gave him a small smile, and both of them laughed.
“I promise to be more careful” she said “but I’m going to assume that I should limit hanging around your office for a couple weeks?”
Remus nodded. “Unfortunately, that might be best.” He said, looking down at the ground. Mia stood up and kicked her shoes off.
“Well then, let’s make this visit count.” She gave him a grin as she began walking up the stairs to the bedroom. He took off after her, picking her up half way up the flight of stairs and carrying her into the bedroom.
When the night of the full moon came around, Mia needed to sneak out of the castle to the forest to meet up with Sirius. She had laid down early that night to try to get a nap in to compensate for the lack of sleep she would get, but woke up in a cold sweat, disoriented and praying she didn’t oversleep. 12:38. she thought as she looked at her clock. She had been having a nightmare, but this night was different. Rather than the vivid memories of the night her family was attacked, she was dreaming of the incident with Andrew. She was at least thankful that she would be seeing Sirius tonight, as it would distract her from the images playing over and over again in her head, keeping her awake. She slipped out of bed silently; praying none of the girls would wake up and hear her. She dressed in all black so she would blend in with the night, and snuck through the corridors out to the grounds. She was amazed that she didn’t come across a Prefect or Filch, especially because she didn’t want any more detention tacked on to the month she was already serving. She laughed to herself, thinking maybe the universe wanted her to learn this magic. When she got to the forest, she was met by a shaggy black dog that guided her in deeper, out of sight from the castle. After they were under the complete cover of trees, the dog transfigured into Sirius Black. His face was beaming.
“Hello gorgeous! I hope you brought a snack, it’s going to be a long night.”
