As the weather shifted into spring, The Order remained busy with guarding the Department of Mysteries, Occlumency lessons with Moody, and dueling practices. Mia was getting particularly good at Occlumency; Moody only catching a quick glimpse of a memory of Remus and Mia in a compromising position, for which he very sharply told her to focus, so he “wouldn’t have to see that godforsaken shit again”, as she recalled him saying.
Remus had start allowing Mia to accompany him in the cellar during his transformations after she refused to leave his company one full moon.
“No— come on, out! I don’t want you to see me like this” he said upon discovering her sitting in the cellar.
“I hate you being locked up all by yourself; I’ll keep you company.” She said, and transformed into the white wolf in front of him.
“The moon will be up in just a minute, please— for me, go?”
Mia had just sat there, refusing to move.
“Must you always be so difficult?” he scowled as he sealed the entrance to the cellar.
She lay down and licked her paws in triumph, and looked as smug as a wolf could possibly.
A nice day in late May made Sirius envious of everyone else in the world. He wished he could be outside; running through a forest of enjoying a walk through a park, but he was trapped inside. He hated being stuck inside the walls of his parents’ house, the ugly memories plastered everywhere. He was feeling loathsome in the parlor, his concentration on the Black family tapestry broken as he heard a voice call from the doorway.
“Oi, Padfoot!” Mia called, trotting into the parlor
“Hey kitten, I didn’t know you were here” He said, kissing her on the cheek.
“I just got here, how are you?”
“Bored out of my fuckin’ mind” he said with a playful smile.
“Good thing I brought refreshments—and cheesecake, of course.” she grinned, pulling a bottle of firewhisky and a bag with a couple slices of cheesecake from behind her back.
“You’re wicked, you know that?” he laughed, waving his wand to have a couple of glasses appear on a small table that was in the corner of the parlor.
“Actually, you are. Does this look familiar?”
Mia showed him the front of the bottle that had a handwritten note taped to the front; saying ‘must be consumed with Sirius Black’.
Sirius grinned “I’m so glad I suggested that”
They poured themselves a glass of firewhisky, both downing it in a quick gulp. They poured a second glass, this time savoring the honey colored liquid.
“So what are you looking at in here?” Mia asked, looking at the part of the tapestry that Sirius had been studying.
“Oh nothing really, it got me thinking about my family though.” Sirius said; his voice gravelly from the sip of firewhisky he had just sipped. “I really don’t have any left, I mean, a couple cousins of course, but most of them are bad eggs so…”
Mia could tell that he seemed a little down thinking about his family. He didn’t have a good relationship with his parents due to him not sharing the same views of pure-blood supremacy as them, which was his parent’s loss in Mia’s mind.
“Does it bother you to be one of the last Blacks?” Mia said, taking a sip from her glass.
“I haven’t thought about it like that before” Sirius said, his voice quiet.
“Well, you have us, and we’re better than your pureblood elitist family.”
“I certainly like you and the Order much better” he chuckled.
Mia still could see a forlorn look on his face, despite the normalcy of his tone of voice. He had been gazing at the Black family tapestry for their whole conversation, not making eye contact.
“Sirius.” she said
“hmm?” he said, turning to look at her when she didn’t respond right away.
“You have a family.” she said, giving him a half smile.
He looked at her puzzled.
“Harry, Remus, me, we are your family.”
Mia set her empty glass on the small table, continuing to speak.
“When everything goes to shit, the people who stand by you are your family. Not these people on this tapestry. We will stand by you, even though they don’t.”
Sirius felt a lump form in his throat, unsure if it were her words or the scotch making him feel so emotional. Mia wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him tight.
“I love you, Sirius— we love you. Please don’t forget that while you’re stuck in here” she whispered.
Sirius kissed her cheek and hugged her back. She was right; the people who stood by him- Remus, Mia, James, Lily and Harry, were more like family to him than these people he shared blood with. He smiled a gratified smile at her.
“I won’t.”
A quiet night at 12 Grimmauld place in June called for some entertainment in Mia’s mind. She loved to try to bring back some sense of normalcy to everyone’s lives, knowing they couldn’t survive off fear alone. Having some type of fun was an essential human right in her mind. She had set up a few poker tables, per Sirius’s idea, in the parlor room, a nice change of scenery from the large kitchen table they typically sat at for gatherings. The Black Family tapestry hung all around the room, bearing a few spots of charred black that Sirius and Mia had studied a few weeks prior. Quite a few order members decided to join Mia’s poker night, making Sirius delighted to have guests. Moody, Kingsley, Susan, Remus and Tonks were gathered around one table as Sirius dealt. Tonks was hanging on Kingsley’s arm, making Moody look incredibly uncomfortable. Susan and Remus sat on opposite sides of the table; she had stopped giving him nasty looks, but was still curt and tried ignore him as much as possible. Mia was bringing snacks and drinks up from the kitchen and setting them up on the spare table, loving playing the role as party host. She surveyed the table, realizing she had forgotten to get some scotch and vodka for her drinks.
“Fuck” she said, a little louder than intended.
“Amelia Evelyn!” Susan spat “language!”
“Sorry” she mumbled. “I forgot drinks. I’m going to have to run out.”
“I’ll come with you” Remus said, making to stand up.
“No, no, stay, really, I’ll be back in a jiffy.” She smiled, walking over and kissing his cheek.
Susan turned her eyes downward to avoid seeing Mia kiss him.
“Hey kitten, while you’re out, could you pick me up one of those muggle candy bars… oh what’s it called… galaxy??” Sirius asked.
“Milky way?” she chuckled. “Yeah, I’ll get you one. Anyone else need anything?”
Everyone shook their head and murmured. Mia turned on her heel and strode out of the parlor towards the entrance way of the house. She passed Kreacher on her way, who looked incredibly smug, even for himself. She frowned at him, curious as to way he looked so pleased with himself.
“Good evening Kreacher” she said with false politeness
Kreacher just scoweled at her, so she kept walking. She could hear him muttering to himself as she made her way across the room
“The miss says good evening to Kreacher as if she is friendly, oh yes; Kreacher knows what a filthy muggle she comes from. Kreacher knows the things she does with the werewolf, yes, Kreacher hears everything. If only his mistress knew the things the half breed was doing in her house…”
Mia about hexed Kreacher right there, but forced herself to ignore him. She felt slightly unnerved hearing Kreacher talk about the ‘things’ she does with Remus. Has this little shit been listening outside our room?? This seemed impossible with the silencing charms they usually put up, and she certainly didn’t want to entertain the idea that Kreacher was in the room with them, so she shook it off and walked out the door.
The group was enjoying playing poker immensely. Kingsley and Tonks had helped themselves to snacks; Moody and Susan were lost in a conversation of an old case they worked on when Susan was new at the Ministry. Sirius and Remus were drinking what was left in the bottle of scotch that was at the house, eager for Mia to bring more. They all were caught off guard when a shimmering silver doe entered the parlor room, and spoke.
“Potter saw a vision of Black being tortured at the Department of Mysteries by the Dark Lord. He and his friends have disappeared from school; I believe them to be headed to London to try to save him. Dumbledore has been alerted as well.”
The voice of the silver doe belonged to Snape, the entire group jumping up at the news that the kids were traveling to London alone.
“IT’S A TRAP!” Sirius bellowed. “We need to go”
“Padfoot, we’ll go. You stay here” Remus said, jumping from his chair.
“Absolutely not, I’m coming. I’m not sitting back in this house and leaving my godson in the thwarts of death eaters!”
“Should we send a patronus to Mia?” Tonks asked, grabbing her cloak off the back of her chair.
“No, there’s no time!” Susan barked. “She is safer if she doesn’t come anyway”
Remus and Susan looked at each other, Remus nodding to her in agreement. Susan gave him a half smile, catching him off guard slightly.
“Come on, let’s go!” Moody gruffed.
With a loud crack, the entire group vanished.
Mia came bobbing into headquarters with a few bags of bottles she picked up, and a Milky Way bar for Sirius. The house seemed quieter than normal, and when she walked into the parlor, she was surprised to find it empty, the food she had set out still in its place. She figured they must’ve gone downstairs, so she made her way to the basement kitchen. She was caught off guard when she saw Albus Dumbledore standing there in brilliant cyan blue robes, talking to Kreacher.
“Professor… where is everyone?” she asked with a puzzled expression.
Dumbledore turned to her, his eyes shining a brilliant blue, but his expression was bleak. He relayed the information he extracted from Kreacher about how Voldemort used a vision of Sirius to lure Harry and his friends to the department of mysteries, and that he believed the Order members had followed when they received Snape’s patronus.
“Why didn’t they send one to me??” she growled. “Professor, we need to go help them.”
“Mia, it might be best if you stay here, in case any messages come though.”
“No, Sir, with all due respect, I won’t just sit back.” She said, setting the bags down on the table. “Take me with you” she ordered, putting her hand on her hip. “Please.”
“Very well” Dumbledore sighed and stuck his left arm out. “You know, you are very much like your mother; stubborn and full of fury.”
Mia fought the urge to roll her eyes at this statement. She grabbed his arm and felt her entire body compress, all the air forced out of her, the feeling of being suffocated so strong. Just as she thought she needed a breath, she felt her feet hit the ground, and air in her lungs.
The Department of Mysteries was eerily dark, and when they found themselves in a large amphitheater room with a strange archway in the middle, Mia was shocked at the scene before her. Death eaters fighting Order members, jets of color flying in every which direction, blasting chunks of concrete from the walls and steps around them. Dumbledore began casting spells left and right, running down the large stone staircase, jumping into action. Mia saw Susan dueling with a tall, thin death eater, and ran to help her. Her eyes found Remus across the room from her, looking as if he was winning his battle. He was near Harry and Sirius in the middle of the room, dueling death eaters of their own. Mia began firing spells at the man Susan was fighting, jets of red, orange and purple light shooting quickly from her wand. Susan did a double take when she saw Mia, but quickly regaining her focus to the task at hand. Both of them shot out a jet of red towards the man, both spells hitting him square in the chest, causing him to fly back and land with a thud on the concrete step.
“Nice work” Susan said with a nod.
Susan saw Dumbledore dueling over to her left, figuring they must come together. Knowing her daughter very well, she had to have put up a fight with him to get here.
Mia turned and saw Tonks rolling down the stairs, having been stunned herself.
“Tonks!” she yelled, panic flooding through her as her body stopped rolling, one arm draped over the side of the step she had come to rest on.
She turned to run to her, but Susan held her back and threw up a protego charm to shield both of them from a hex coming their way. Susan then sent a stun at the death eater Mia didn’t see, and he flew back as well.
“Stay alert, Mia!” Susan hissed.
Mia nodded, and carefully made her way with Susan over to Tonks on the other side of the room. Mia knelt down and rolled her over onto her back, patting her face gently.
“Tonks??” she said, shaking her friend. “Come on, come on…”
Susan was throwing up shield charms around them, while Moody was nearby and sending hexes furiously. Kingsley was dueling two death eaters at once, fighting with tremendous skill and ability.
“Rennervate!” Mia cried, pointing her wand at Tonks’s chest.
A jet of red light shot from her wand, hitting Tonks and making her jump. Mia waited a moment to see if Tonks would open her eyes, but nothing.
“Rennervate!” she shouted again, hitting her with another jet of light.
Mia repeated this a few more times as Susan shielded them from rebounding spells.
“Tonks, come on” she said through gritted teeth. “NYMPHADORA, WAKE UP!”
Mia hit Tonks again with a shot of red light, her eyes fluttering open to half slits.
“Don’t call me Nymphadora…” she muttered weakly, mustering a small grin.
“Then don’t fucking scare me like that again” Mia breathed, smiling and kissing her friend’s forehead in relief.
“Dora??” Kingsley called as he ran over, kneeling on the other side of Tonks.
His two death eaters were lying in a heap against the far wall, immobile. He had a large head gash above his brow, blood trickling down his face and dropping onto his purple robes.
“Hey” Tonks croaked, mustering up a stronger smile for him.
She tried to sit up, but Mia held her back down.
“Tonks, stay down. Just rest” she ordered.
She and Kingsley nodded to each other, he nonverbally thanking her for helping Tonks. Mia stood up and turned her head, surveying the scene. Remus was finishing off his death eater from before, and Sirius was now caught in a duel with his cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange.
“Come on, Bella, is that all you got??” he jeered at her, sending flashes of purple, orange and blue at her.
Mia felt fear strike in the pit of her stomach. He was brandishing his wand magnificently, as if he was doing some part of an elaborate dance. It was slowing him down.
“His bravado is his weakness” she remembered Remus whispering to her when she was preparing to duel him that fall.
Almost as if it happened in slow motion, Mia saw Sirius get hit in the chest by a flash of red, causing him to sway and fall through the mysterious archway, disappearing through it. Bellatrix let out a cackle of high pitched laughter as the curtain fluttered, and then came to rest.
“NO!!!” Mia screamed, almost simultaneously as Harry did.
Harry tried to fling himself after Sirius, but Remus came up behind him and held him back, holding him firmly to keep him from running through the archway. Mia dropped to her knees, trembling and fighting back sobs that threatened to escape her throat. Susan held tightly onto her shoulders, her own hands shaking. Mia wasn’t exactly sure what that archway was, but she got the unnerving, sickening feeling that through the archway was a one way trip. Her sobs won the fight, her entire world began to spin and she slunk down onto the floor, Susan trying to hold her upright. She didn’t want to believe it, but part of her knew for certain, that Sirius Black was dead.
