Mia's P.O.V.

"So, Mia. Tell me about school?" Sirius asked me as we chopped up some vegetables for dinner.

"Well, my favourite subject is Care of Magical Creatures. Grubbly-Plank used to teach it but now it's the gamekeeper, Hagrid. I love animals so of course, I like that subject. I hate potions, I suck at it and Snape's a git," I told him.

"I remember Grubbly-Plank. Hagrid must be a fun teacher. I've told Charlene and Harry this, don't worry about Snape. He hates me, so he's probably taking that out on you," Sirius told me.

I nodded as I put my chopped up carrots into the pot. "Who was your favourite Professor?"

"Hm, I always liked McGonagall," said Sirius. "Binns was cool though because we always got away with mucking around in his classes."

"That's so true," I agreed. "I like McGonagall, but you couldn't get much past her. We hardly get anything done in Binns' classes because he's that slack."

Sirius laughed. "Sounds like us. Could you cut the meat up, sweetheart?"

I began chopping up the meat and Mum walked in.

"Greetings, Ethel. Where's Louise?" Sirius asked.

"She took Charlene and Harry to the theatre," Ethel said. "They'll be back soon for dinner."

"Do you and Charlene get along?" Sirius asked me.

"Definitely," I said. "We met at the end of my third year. We hung out a lot after that and we got really close. She's amazing, funny, smart. I love hanging out with her."

"Did you hear about the time Charlene saved Mia from the Chamber of Secrets?" Mum asked Sirius.

Sirius shook his head.

"I had this diary, and Voldemort possessed me through it. He was going to take me into the Chamber but Char went for me," I explained.

"I was so proud of my niece that day," Mum said.

Sirius and Mum started cooking dinner and I decided to leave them for a while.

I went up to my room, sat down on my bed and patted my cat Midnight. I heard a tap at the window and turned around, Errol was there. I sat up and opened the window.

"Hi, Errol," I said, giving him a pat and a treat.

I took the letter from Errol's beak and saw that it was addressed to me.

I sat down on my bed and opened it.

Mia

I can't stop thinking about you. I mean I can't believe I found the confidence to write this but I am. I can't stop thinking about that kiss. George and I have some new joke stuff, can't wait for you to see it. We both miss you heaps. It should be a good year this year, Alastor Moody's the new Dark Arts teacher, which should be interesting. I can't wait to see you.

Love, Fred.

I got butterflies in my stomach and wrote back a reply.

Fred

I can't stop thinking about this kiss either, can't wait to see your new stuff! Moody huh, sounds cool. I mean he's really been there, you know? I can't wait for the Quidditch World Cup, I've always wanted to go. I can't wait to see you guys too.

Love, Mia.

I gave the letter back to Errol, gave him a pat and he was off.

"Dinner's ready, Mia!" Mum called.
