Author's Note- sorry readers, I haven't uploaded in a while…okay a long time. Its all hectic for me now. So before you read the story let me tell you something. My cousin, recently offered to write a story for me and I said yes…now well I didn't had time to write myself. So this is most assuredly not mine. I only took the efforts to upload it. Hope you like it…..

The stolen turkey
Chapter 1: Disappointments
Thank goodness! It's almost time Thanksgiving holidays. I am ready to go home. School is certainly tiring, with all our homework and tests and essays.I deserve a break.
No, I have to go to my last class before the holidays, Charms. I hope Professor Flitwick won't give us any homework.
Lily walked into the Charms classroom and sat in her seat next to Alice, who was writing in her diary.
"Miss Evans, I have received word from professor Dumbledore that your parents won't be able to take you home for Thanksgiving holidays. You will be staying with us during the holidays. And professor mcgonnall wants to speak with you." Professor Flitwick said.
Lily was disappointed. She was really looking forward to go home. She walked back to her seat.
"Don't worry, Lily. I'll be there with you. I'm not going home either. Nor is James, or Sirius or Frank." Alice said.
Yeah I guess.

Oh! I have to go McGonagall's office. I hope it's good news after this one.
Lily walked to Professor McGonagall's office, wringing her hands. Upon reaching her office, Lily knocked on the door.
"Come in,"
"Hello, Professor. You wish to speak with me?"
"Yes, Ms. Evans. Sit down,"
Lily sat in the chair in front of the professor's desk.
"I want to talk to you about your grades-"
"Oh no. I knew it. Did my exam results come in? Did I do really bad? I hope it's not a D.." I couldn't help it, I mean no going home+staying at Hogwarts, I mean it's a good place and all but still, home and turkey has its own way. On top of that bad grades.

AWFUL.

Worse than that

I STARTED CRYING.

In front of McGonagall

In her office.

OH DEAR ….THIS ISN'T GOOD.

THIS IS BAD.

REALLLLY….REALLLLYY BAD.

"Ms. Evans! The exams results have not come in. And no slouching! And for heavens sake, stop crying. Be a lady. I wanted to speak to you about putting you in some advanced classes."
"Oh, I am dreadfully sorry professor. I w-was worried I did really bad in the Tra-Transfiguration part of the exams. You know, Transfiguration isn't my b-best subject and-"
"Classes, Ms. Evans, classes," McGonagall said.
"Oh yes, I would love to, Professor,"
Suddenly, a barn owl flew into Professor McGonagall's office. The owl landed on her desk and dropped a letter from Headmaster Dumbledore (Thanks to my upside-down reading purely from the muggle world). McGonagall removed the letter from the owl's leg, fed him a knut . She then opened the letter and started reading the letter aloud, forgetting I was sitting in front of her.

Dear Minerva,
I do not wish to bother you at this time as I know you are busy. This is a trifle silly thing to approach you about. But it appears that the turkey for the Thanksgiving dinner has been stolen. The house elf named Baky have informed me of such. I wish for you to find someone, if not yourself, to investigate and/or find the stolen turkey. Thank you
Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore

I thought quickly. Who would steal a turkey a week before the dinner? Why would Dumbledore ask McGonagall to do something so unimportant? This is Hogwarts, for heavens sake! We have Voldemort to worry about! And for me, i specially happen to have A LOT to worry about.

Couldn't the elves get another one?

Wait a minute…. I?

Oh yeah.

Why don't I work on the case?

I am serious. No kidding.

I have nothing else to do.

And Alice can help me! BFF'S you see. Cant be alone.
"Professor, I can find who stole the turkey, if you don't mind." I blurted out. Stupid mouth.

McGonagall looked up from the letter she was reading in hushed tones, to me…..and then again to the letter. Then for a second she stared through me…like I wasn't there.

Then finally, it seemed to have clicked her.

"Ah, yes. Thank you for taking this off my mind. Report to me anytime on your progress. You may leave."
As I approached the door to leave, McGonagall pulled out a piece if parchment to reply to Dumbledore.

A/N- so? Found the first chapter interesting? Well there are six more for the whole story to clear.

Why don't you try and review? Yeah that'll be good.
