“What?” said James. “What?” said Lily. “You were smiling,” said Sirius, peering past James at her. “That’s a crime now?” “Depends on whether or not you were being sentimental.” “I was only,” Lily said with dignity, “being reflective. Which is my right, before my birthday.”

“Between the four of us — well, three of us — we’ve got a piss-poor sample size of Hogwarts boys who know what they’re doing. Sorry, Germaine.”

Germaine shrugged and took a gulp of her hot cocoa that seemed to be just as much a bite. “Better you than me.”

“And what’s the sample size?” Lily was leaning on one elbow, watching Mary with amusement.

She thought about it. “Three? Two and a half?”

“Who’s the half?” Germaine asked.

“I’m offended already,” Doe said into her mug.

Mary squinted at her friend, who continued to diligently take down the gist of Binns’s droning. Her plait hung over one shoulder, its neat line undercut by its scraggly frayed end, which was threatening now to dip into her still-wet writing. Lily looked as she always did.

And yet something had changed, like a forest beneath winter snow was not preserved wholly the same come springtime. After all, she, Mary, had kept secrets from her too. From all her friends.

“You’re staring,” murmured Lily, not lifting her gaze from her parchment.

“Your hair’s about to get in your ink.”

At this they all, one by one, turned to look at Mary.

She blinked. "What? Why are you— Oh, look, all the wizards I've been with have used Muggle protection anyway."

"Black used a—?" Doe began, then clamped her mouth shut with a gasp.

Germaine's eyes were the size of saucers. "Black, as in Sirius?”

"No," Mary said, deadpan, "as in one of his inbred relatives who wants me to fuck off and die."

“Miraculous that your internal body clock hasn’t adjusted by now,” he said mildly as she sat down opposite him. “Shut it,” she mumbled. “And how do you know what an internal body clock is? Do they teach you that in Muggle Studies?” “It’s like you’ve never even heard of Portkey delay. Honestly, Evans.”

“There’s no practical purpose to it,” Peter was grumbling, “unless we’re all going to work in…in bleeding chessboard manufacturing!” “And that would seriously destabilise the board games industry,” Lily said solemnly. “Think what would happen to ludo!” “Bagman?” said James, who was plainly only half paying attention, and peering over his shoulder. “Christ, they don’t teach you lot anything in Muggle Studies,” she said. “We’ll need to do something about that.”

“This is going to be the most unbearable…period of my life,” Sirius muttered.
