Crash!
Remus whipped his head towards the door as he heard a cup shattering on the floor, followed by Mia’s ear splitting scream.
“MIA?” Remus shouted, his heart now pounding in his ears.
He grabbed his wand and ran out of the bedroom, nearly colliding with Sirius who was woken by the sound. The men ran down the hallway to find Mia standing in the kitchen looking startled, hot coffee and chunks of ceramic on the floor, standing in front of Albus Dumbledore.
“Ah, Remus, Sirius, there you are. Sorry for startling you Amelia, I hope I’m not interrupting anything” Dumbledore said, his bright blue eyes twinkling at her.
Mia felt as though Dumbledore was referring to her wearing Remus’ shirt; she was blushing all the way to ears, mouth gaping and was unable to speak.
“We didn’t know you’d be stopping by, Dumbledore” said Sirius.
“I apologize for not writing first, I came to fill you in on what’s been going on, and discuss our next move.” Dumbledore replied; his calm voice made Mia feel extra uncomfortable.
“Mia wants to join the Order as well; it’s good you came while she was here.” Remus said, transfiguring her cup back to its original state.
His tone of voice was very even, Mia was surprised Remus was so calm. This was Dumbledore, His previous boss and her headmaster. Why wasn’t Remus freaking out like she was??
“Very well, shall we sit?” Dumbledore asked, motioning to the table.
“I’m going to go put some pants on” Mia said hoarsely, her face scarlet as Gryffindor’s house banners.
She scurried off to the bedroom and threw the door shut and took a deep breath. She could hardly believe that Dumbledore had apparated here without any of them hearing him, let alone opened the cottage door. She was furiously embarrassed; her former headmaster seeing her in such little clothing was the most mortifying thing she had experienced. She looked in the mirror on the wall, and to her distain, realized her hair was a complete mess. He just had to apparate here the one time I’m half naked, walking around with sex hair she thought as she threw her hair into a bun without brushing it. She slipped on the first pair of jeans she could find, and changed from Remus’ oversized button down to a tank top and hoodie. She shuffled out of the bedroom to the dining room, where the three of them sat around the table. Dumbledore was wearing shimmering silver robes, his appearance neat and tidy that gave the impression he was going to be seeing a lot of important people today. He had begun speaking to Remus and Sirius already when Mia slid silently into a chair next to Remus.
“I got you a fresh cup” Remus said pleasantly, sliding her new cup of coffee to her, steam still rolling off it.
“Thanks” she squeaked, beginning to blush again as she noticed Dumbledore’s eyes twinkling at her.
“I was just telling Dumbledore we can use my parent’s old place in London for headquarters for the order” Sirius said to Mia “it has been empty for 10 years, and has quite a bit of concealment charms on it already.”
Mia nodded at Sirius, taking a sip of her coffee awkwardly.
“For now, we need to increase our numbers. Recruit. Call on our neighbors, friends, allies, anyone who is willing and able to fight Voldemort and see to it he doesn’t rise to power.” Dumbledore said. “I am visiting those who were in the Order before today, asking the same thing of them. Amelia, I’m actually headed to your mothers after I stop by the Weasley’s”
Dumbledore smiled at her, and Mia choked on a sip of coffee when he mentioned speaking with Susan.
“uhm, if you could—“ she coughed “not mention to my mother that you saw me here, I would greatly appreciate that, professor.” She said, her voice trailing off softly.
“Yes, I’m sure you want to tell Susan in your own time about Remus here.” He said with a smirking smile, his eyes now twinkling. “First meeting will be Saturday after next. Sirius, look for my owl this afternoon about getting into headquarters before then to prepare.”
Dumbledore got up from the table and shook Remus’ hand.
“Thank you for the coffee. I’ll be in touch”
He walked to the middle of the room and disapparated, but not before he gave Mia one last pleasant smile. When he was gone, Mia threw her face into her hands and groaned.
“Professor Dumbledore really had to come here and find me half naked in your kitchen????” she growled, flushing a deep shade of scarlet once more.
Remus put his hand on her shoulder.
“You’re not breaking any rules by being here” he said calmly.
“But we did when we started this!!” she hissed.
“He wasn’t mad about it, well, at least I think he wasn’t…” Remus started
“He’s known??? Damn it, I should’ve known he knew. He probably reads minds or something” Mia said, her face returning to her hands.
“He does, actually. He is a legilimens” interjected Sirius.
“GREAT!” she groaned, rolling her eyes.
“What exactly are you upset about?” Remus asked her.
“The obvious; I’m mortified he caught me half naked in the kitchen with sex hair!!” she cried irritably “You all were clothed when you ran out and found him. I might as well as had ‘freshly fucked’ written across my forehead!”
She huffed irritably, and stomped into the kitchen to dump her remaining coffee into the sink.
“Well, you kind of do, kitten” Sirius laughed, making Remus chuckle with him.
Mia was so annoyed by the men’s lack of empathy for her embarrassment.
“I’m going to take a shower” she grumbled, stomping off towards the bedroom and slamming the door shut.
Sirius and Remus burst out laughing after they heard the water turn on.
“Did you know he was coming today?” Sirius snickered.
“No, I didn’t” Remus said between laughs “Had I known I would’ve warned her to get dressed”
Remus and Mia headed out to London that afternoon, picking up her paycheck and having lunch at a local seafood restaurant. They got Sirius a plate of fish and chips to go, feeling bad that he couldn’t join them in the city for lunch. Remus hated Mia paying for everything when they went out, but he knew he didn’t have it in his budget to afford the pricy lunch. She didn’t seem to blink an eye at it; she reached for the check without even giving him a slight glance. He worked hard to stifle the shame he felt of not being about to take his girlfriend out for a simple meal.
As they were leaving the restaurant, Mia said “Let’s go back to my place and wait for Penelope. She should be home in an hour, and I want to talk to her about joining the Order”.
They apparated back to Penelope and Mia’s flat, and situated themselves on the couch watching muggle cooking shows until Penelope returned home.
“Oh hey guys, I didn’t know you were coming back here.” Penelope said pleasantly as she bustled in the front door. “How was lunch?”
“Delicious!” Mia exclaimed “The box in the fridge is for Sirius, don’t eat it”
“How is Sirius?” Penelope asked slyly, a bashful smile creeping onto her face.
“You can always come by and see for yourself” Mia grinned. “He asks about you though”
“Does he now?” Penelope said, her brow rising.
“Yeah, but we didn’t come here to tease you about Sirius.” Mia giggled “We wanted to talk to you about the Order of the Phoenix” Mia said, her tone more businesslike now.
“Order of the Phoenix, eh?” Penelope asked, coming to sit on the chair next to the couch “what of it?”
“Well, I’m joining up. Remus fought last time, so naturally he is a valuable member of the group. I want you to join with me”
“Oh Mia, I don’t know…” Penelope started.
Mia’s eyes narrowed, shifting on the couch to get a better look at Penelope.
“What do you mean, you don’t know? Voldemort is back and stronger than before; we are only as strong as we are united”
“Mia… I’m not sure I’m the best fit for the group. I don’t think I would have anything to offer, my family is muggle and I don’t want them to get dragged into the mess.” Penelope looked at her with apologetic eyes. “Plus I’ve got the shop; mum and dad are giving me more responsibilities starting this fall, to prepare me to take over.”
“Bullshit” Mia muttered quietly.
“Mia, Penelope has the right to say no if she feels that’s what is best for her. The Order is extremely dangerous, and not for the faint of heart. Penelope’s family would be a target if her name were associated with us. Of course every member helps, but we can’t force her.” Remus said calmly, which irritated Mia even more.
She got up hastily “I just thought my best friend would be one that wanted to do something to change the world rather than sit in the dark and hide.” She spat, walking over to the fridge and grabbing Sirius’s food. “I’m going back to the cottage”
She disapparated quicker than either Remus or Penelope could speak; Penelope gave Remus an apologetic look.
“I’m sorry…” she started, but he held his hand up to stop her.
“Penelope, don’t apologize. You did nothing wrong.” He said kindly. “Mia overreacted.”
“Eh, she tends to be a bit of a bitch when she doesn’t get her way.” Penelope scoffed. “She’ll come around. I hope”
“She will. I’ll talk to her.” Remus smiled at her and stood up from the couch. “I should follow her back. It was good to see you.”
“You too” Penelope smiled weakly at him, and with a pop he was gone.
Mia popped back at the cottage, thrusting the leftovers at Sirius.
“Here” she growled and stomped off to the bedroom, slamming the door.
Sirius just blinked at the box in his hands, confused on what just happened. Remus popped into the living room, and looked at Sirius.
“Where’d she go?” he asked, looking around.
“Bedroom” Sirius croaked, “What’s gotten into her?”
“She asked Penelope to join the Order” Remus said, lowering his voice so Mia couldn’t hear them.
“I’m guessing she didn’t like the answer she got?” Sirius asked, scratching his head.
Remus nodded and held up a finger to tell Sirius he’d be back in a minute. He walked up to the bedroom door and knocked softly.
“What?” Mia spat through the door.
“May I come in?” Remus asked sweetly.
She turned the door handle and popped the door open, and sat down on the bed with her arms crossed.
“I know you’re upset…” he began, but she cut him off.
“I can’t believe her! She’s just going to sit back and let him take over again?” she growled, her fists clenched.
“She is afraid of making her family a target. Voldemort will target anyone and everyone he pleases, muggles being a bonus. It’s a double edge sword for her if she joins.” Remus said, calmly.
“My dad was a muggle and my mom still joined!” she exclaimed, rolling her eyes.
“And your father was tortured because of it”
Mia stopped, her arms still crossed, but in her frustration with Penelope she had almost forgotten that. Her face softened a little bit, and she cast her eyes downward as Remus sat down next to her.
“When James, Sirius, Peter and I joined the Order, it was exciting. The four of us fighting darkness, making a difference; It was very easy to get caught up in the thrill. We lost people we grew close to, I mean, hell, Peter betrayed us and James and Lily were killed for it.” Remus continued.
Mia began to pick at her fingernails.
“I guess I was excited to think of Penny and me fighting together. She’s my best friend, I can’t imagine doing this without her.” she said quietly.
“I understand, but do you see her side now a little more? She and her family are safer out of the Order” Remus gave her a sympathetic half smile, slipping an arm around her.
“Yes…” she groaned; she always hated admitting she had been wrong. “You know, you and Penny are very similar.”
“How so?” his eyebrows rose at her statement.
“You both are always so calm, and think rationally at every situation. Well, unless it’s a full moon for you, but 99% of the time you do. I don’t know how you guys do it” she said. “It’s surprising you weren’t put in Ravenclaw.”
Remus chuckled. “The sorting hat considered Ravenclaw for me, but sensed that I would be best placed in Gryffindor. I’m not always as rational as her; I have that unbridled Gryffindor bravery that makes me run in dangerous situations without considering consequences. We’re known to be so brave were reckless.” He said, Mia chuckling as she thought of Harry Potter and his friends always running head first into danger.
Remus continued “Penelope weighed her options when presented with joining the Order, not letting her excitement or bravado cloud her judgement. When I joined the Order before, I didn’t even give the potential ramifications a second thought.”
“The sorting hat considered me for Gryffindor. Slytherin, too.” Mia said, concentrating most of her picking to her left index finger. “It said Slytherin would be a good choice because I have ambition and drive, but I asked not Slytherin for obvious reasons. It said Gryffindor because it sensed courage and nerve, but Ravenclaw because of intellect and wit, and ‘my acceptance and understanding of others’. I ended up asking for Ravenclaw because of my mother. I wanted to please her so bad; I knew she would be disappointed if I got placed elsewhere. I think had I not asked for Ravenclaw it would’ve put me in Gryffindor.” She explained, Remus giving her shoulder a slight squeeze.
“I think Ravenclaw was a good fit for you” he said.
“I always wondered if it was though, I was much more of a rule breaker than the rest of my house, and way more hotheaded. I almost always spout off without thinking first. Penel
ope was the perfect Ravenclaw, so logical and calculated.” Mia sighed.
Remus smiled at her “but you were a good fit because of everything the sorting hat told you. I mean, you received top marks your entire time at school, and are a damn good witch. As for acceptance and understanding, I mean, well, look at me. You keep insisting you love me despite what I am.”
Mia leaned her head on his shoulder. “Yeah, you’re alright, I guess” she said with a wry smile.
“No person is black and white, remember that.” he said chuckling, placing a kiss on the top of her head.
“I’ll make it right with her, but I’m not ready. I’m still disappointed she’s not joining.” Mia said, her voice falling back into a huff.
“You have a right to your feelings, just don’t wait too long to talk to her” he said standing up and taking her hand. “Come on, let’s go play some poker with Sirius; take your mind off it.”
“Remus?” she said, making him stop to look at her. She smiled at him fondly “Thanks”.
