“Mia-”
“Don’t waste your breath, James. I’m done with you.”
“How can you be done with me? I’m your brother!”
“Easy, I’m firing you.”
“You can’t fire me!”
“I believe I just did.”
“Yup, she just did.”
“Shut up, Peter.”
“Shutting.”
James, Mia, Lily, Keely, Peter, Remus, and Sirius were in the Gryffindor common room a week after the Quidditch match. Mia had finally recovered from her injuries. After Macnair had announced to the whole school what James had done, James hurried to the Hospital Wing to tell her what he did only find out the hard way that Mia was already up and walking so she heard the announcement. After hearing what Macnair said, Mia conjured some canaries and had them attack James (sound familiar? ). James was amazed that Mia actually knew that in first year until he remembered Lily was helping her with her classes.
“Mia how many times do I have to say I’m sorry?” asked James
“It’s too late, James.” answered Mia, “You had hundreds of chances to apologize! Come to think of it, I don’t even think I would even forgive you if you apologize when you saw me for the first time in the Hospital Wing.”
“That’s why I didn’t apologize! I knew you wouldn’t have forgiven me!”
“What you did was unforgivable.” said Lily
“Mind your own business, Evans!”
“No, she’s right, James. What you did was unforgivable. Why didn’t you just leave me and Severus alone?”
“Because, I didn’t think he was the right guy for you.”
“Who do you think in the right guy for me? Pretty boy, here?” Mia pointed at Sirius.
“No, I mean a guy who isn’t from Slytherin.”
“Whether I like a boy from Slytherin is my business, not yours.” Mia got up from her chair and went to the Girls Dormitory without even looking back.

“Who does he think he is?” Keely asked Lily and Mia the next day during breakfast.
“He’s always been butting in with what I’m doing with my life and now I’m just sick of it!” said Mia, “It’s my life and I’ll do whatever the h*ll I wanna do with it!”
“I’m not surprised with what he did!” said Lily, “Last year, he didn’t like me studying with Severus so James and Sirius thought it’d be funny to shove him into the lake.”
“Brothers.” Mia sighed angrily. She stood up from her seat and grabbed her book bag, “I’ll see you two later, I’ve got to get to class.” She turned around and accidentally bumped into someone, causing her book bag to swing and knock over a bowl of oatmeal. Mia and the boy fell over and the oatmeal fell beside them and sprayed a bit of oatmeal into Mia’s hair.
“Why do we keep meeting like this?” Mia asked the boy miserably.
“I don’t know.” said Severus. But you’ve got oatmeal in your hair.” He and Mia got off the floor and Mia pulled the small bits of oatmeal out of her hair. Almost everyone in the Great Hall were either staring at the two or laughing. Mia picked her bag off the floor and hurried out of the Great Hall in embarrassment. When she entered the Entrance Hall, she suddenly noticed that somebody was following her. She looked over her shoulder and saw that it was Severus.
“Are you following me?” asked Mia.
“I just wanted to say sorry for not meeting you by the lake that day.” said Severus, “Macnair and some other boys were distracting me from the time.”
“I’m not blaming this whole thing on you, Sev.” said Mia, “It was all James’ fault.”
“I know, but I feel more at fault. Is there any way I can make it up to you?”
Mia thought about it for a moment, “You can walk me to my next class. It’s Transfiguration.”
Severus smiled and nodded. Mia held out her hand, Severus took it, and they walked down the corridor together.
“So, does this mean we’re…?” asked Severus
“If you want us to be.” said Mia, smiling at him.
