Mira leaned against the broom shed watching the boys flying and playing Quidditch on their brooms letting off steam. Fred and George were almost maniacal as they hit the bludgers with such force they could break their sticks with every hit. Fortunately they were shooting them at anyone. Charlie was going after the snitch with such determination and Charlie was trying to score on Ron who was guarding one small goalpost that they had put up. Even though it was summer Mira wore black jeans and a long sleeved dark purple blouse. The blouse was made of a thin material so it wasn't too hot in the shade of the shed and a black button-up vest. The little white cat stretched out on top of the shed in the sun. "You're going to lose him, you know."
"No, I won't." Mira said eyes on the bright spot in her life that was Fred Weasley.
"You think he loves you? He doesn't, you're just a fill-in for Erin Black."
"No, I'm not."
"Of course you are. You're a brunette with large eyes, and since he can't have the girl he really wants he'll be with you."
"You don't know Erin or Fred."
"She's my niece, how can't I know her? She's like her father."
"You don't know as much as you think you do."
"And you do?"
"I know more about her than you do. She may be a Black, but she's not like the others."
"All Blacks are alike, no matter what side of the line they follow."
"There's not many left, you know, just Sirius and Erin."
Regulus got up stretching out and yawning like only a cat could do. "There is another." He told her before jumping down on her shoulder and to the ground trotting off.
"Hey, wait, what do you mean there's another?" She called. "Bloody cat," she grumbled as he continued on.
"Everything okay?" she whirled around. Fred had come up on her without her noticing. He was all sweaty and dirty from hitting bludgers around.
"Just a disagreement with the cat."
Fred chuckled. "You're not the only one. You should hear Donovan and Archimedes. They're always arguing. I'm sorry. Everyone's just been so tense lately. Erin's special to all of us…"
"No, I know," she nodded. "I understand. She's one of those people that makes deep friendships."
"Yeah, she does." He leaned in and kissed her cheek. "I need to go clean up. Do you want to go for a walk when I'm done?"
She nodded smiling a little.
"Okay, I'll be quick."
