When Mia woke in the hospital wing, it was just her, Harry, and a Hufflepuff first year that she didn’t know laying in their beds. The Hufflepuff boy was puking up slugs into a bucket, looking quite uncomfortable. The sight of it made Mia feel like she was going to hurl up slugs too. Harry was still out cold, a hunk of chocolate sitting next to his bed. She looked at her own bedside table to see a chuck of chocolate sitting there for her.
Madam Pomfrey hustled in, “eat, eat, it will make you feel better”.
“What happened, Madam Pomfrey?” Mia asked, feeling confused from the events of earlier.
“My dear, you were attacked by a dementor. Professor Dumbledore is furious about what happened. Professor Lupin sent them off and brought you here straight away. You and Mr. Potter got a nasty blow. You’ll be ok, but eat that chocolate. It’ll help with the shaking. You may leave once the chocolate has been eaten. Your friends came by but I told them no visitors” Madam Pomfrey said firmly.
Mia wasn’t much in the mood for her chocolate, but did what she was told because when it came to being in the hospital wing, you had to play by Madam Pomfrey’s rules. She reminded Mia of her mother, a ‘take no crap’ attitude and fierce personality, but also a deeply caring witch.
“Oh and Miss Roswell, when you are finished with your chocolate, Professor Lupin requests to see you in his office.”
“Yes ma’am, thank you”. Mia said, biting into her giant chunk of chocolate.
Mia walked up to the large oak door to Remus’ office and knocked, poking her head inside.
“Hey.” she said softly, after surveying the office to see they were alone.
“Mia, thank you for coming by” Remus looked up, his eyes brightening when he saw she was up and moving. “How are you feeling?”
“I’m ok I guess, Madam Pomfrey gave me some chocolate” she shrugged.
“Yes, it really does help. I’m trying to figure out why that dementor came up to you after they went after Harry”. Remus said looking slightly puzzled.
“Yeah, me too” Mia said “was anyone else attacked besides us two?”
“No. they went for Harry first, but I think when the one went off on its own, it sensed something about you that it was drawn to.”
“Like what?” Mia asked. She wasn’t incredibly familiar with the dementors; that was supposed to be covered in their 6th year of Defense against the dark arts, but Lockhart cared more about talking about his books, especially gadding with ghouls, rather than teach them what they needed to know.
“Dementors feed off of emotions, they suck out the happiness and leave you with your most dark and dreary moments. I believe they are attracted to Harry because of the horrors in his past with his parents, and his less than optimistic upbringing. I believe this is the same case with you; the night that your family was attacked when you were a child.”
Mia felt her stomach drop. Did this mean she was a walking target for the dementors for the rest of her life?
“I do have something to confess to you” He continued, straightening up in his chair. She sat down on the plush green couch that sat across from his desk.
“Your mother and I were both members of the Order of the Phoenix during the war. Susan was a vital part to the organization, which we believe made her a target. I was unavailable the night your family was attacked, but I was filled in after the fact by the ones who came to your house to help after the attack. I knew your father before his memory was altered, not well; he usually stayed out of Order things because he wasn’t a part of our world, but I also remember them telling me about Little Amelia who witnessed the whole thing. I never met you as a child, but I remember seeing your mom a few days after the attack, the only positive from it was that you were not tortured along with your father. Susan is a strong witch, even in that moment of terror, she didn’t divulge any information. Truly remarkable that she remained strong in that moment. I didn’t know how to tell you that the other night, when you were so upset” Remus looked at her with a kind expression.
“I’m actually glad you know about that night from someone else’s account besides mine. You probably got more details than I remember, since I was so young.” Mia said; Remus relaxed hearing that he hadn’t upset her.
“Thank you for telling me.” She got up to head out of the office “I’m going to try to get a little bit of rest, maybe try out that sleeping draught you gave me” she said casually as she was walking towards the doorway.
“Mia…” Remus called out. She stopped and turned around to look at him. “So, you and Andrew Flint…?” he began.
Mia laughed “I told you, were just friends or something like that” she said “I’m not sure why he was a little handsy at the match”
“I think he has a thing for you” Remus chuckled.
Mia rolled her eyes and laughed again “good bye Remus” and walked out the door.
Mia was eager to get back to classes to distract herself from the dementor attack. She had a pretty normal couple weeks of classes that kept her busy, not getting to spend much free time with Remus. The next few weeks mainly contained sly glances and the occasional shoulder brushing if getting the chance. She did have a semi-unpleasant conversation with him one day, when she didn’t do as well on a paper and she figured he’d ‘help her out with her grade’.
“It would be an extreme disservice to give you a grade you don’t deserve just to appease your mother’s standards, when you didn’t do the work required to get the grade you wanted. I care about your education too much” Remus had told her.
Mia most certainly rolled her eyes at this, but knowing he was right she couldn’t be too irritated with him. He really was a phenomenal teacher.
As the weather started to turn chilly, Mia arrived for a Defense against the Dark Arts lesson to find Professor Snape to be standing up front of the classroom again.
“Hello class, Professor Lupin is out ill so I’ll be teaching class the next two days” Snape began.
As he started his lecture on Inferi, Mia raised her hand and cut him off. “Professor- excuse me, but wasn’t Professor Lupin just out last month?”
“Miss Roswell, if you paid half as much attention in class as you did to counting the calendar, you’d be on track for better NEWT potions scores. Yes and he is out again, and needn’t I remind you not to interrupt me in my classroom, however temporary my presence in this class may be” Snape said curtly.
Mia slunk in her seat slightly. Snape was not her favorite professor, and she knew he would pick on her the rest of class if she didn’t shut up. She was also highly offended that he claimed she didn’t pay attention in potions. She most certainly did, but he always favored the Slytherin students before anyone else. She was the best in her year at potions, but he never praised her for this. Her NEWT score was going to be just fine, she’d show him.
Mia spend the next few minutes only pretending to pay attention, confused on how Remus was ill AGAIN, and didn’t say anything to her. Her mind jumped to Snape's last lesson, where she thought it was odd that he was covering Werewolves in a 7th year classroom. All of a sudden, it hit her. The last time he was out it was a full moon, and sure enough today was a full moon too. She knew this from her Astronomy charts she had to do for Professor Sinistra. Her palms started to sweat and her heart pound in her chest. Was this a coincidence? she thought as the panic attack came on stronger. Penelope noticed Mia’s demeanor had changed, and began observing her intently, making some of the other students in the class start looking their way. It had been years since Mia had had a full blown panic attack at school, her last one as a third year that Penelope was present for, during the time when her stepmother was ill. Her breathing was heavy and eyes fixed on the floor in front of her desk. Her vision began to become blurry and spotty, and her hearing began to muffle. The last thing she heard before she hit the floor falling out of her desk was Penelope calling her name, trying to get her attention. She had begun to panic, because she realized that Remus Lupin was out sick for one reason. He was a werewolf.
