Suspect - Minerva, Location: The Shrieking Shack, Weapon: Sherbet Lemon
It's Not Chocolate
Minerva walked into the Shrieking Shack. Remus laid on the ground, his body covered with scars. He was slowly beginning to sit up and gather his belongings.
She averted her eyes when she realized he was still undressed. "Mr. Lupin, please let me know when you're decent."
Remus didn't answer, but she heard shuffling and the rustle of clothing. It was a long while, but Minerva was patient, knowing he was in a massive amount of pain.
"It's okay to look, Professor McGonagall."
Minerva turned around.
"Usually Madam Pomfrey comes to escort me to the hospital wing," Remus said in a non-accusatory manner.
"I know, but a student came in last minute with a severe rash, and unfortunately, she was needed there."
Remus nodded and took a staggering step towards her.
Minerva held out a lemon sherbet. "Headmaster Dumbledore thought you might want this."
Remus quirked an eyebrow. "I've told him many times that I prefer chocolate. In fact, I told him I dislike the taste of lemon."
Minerva laughed. "Well, the Headmaster is a stubborn man, and he'll never understand how anyone can dislike the taste of lemon sherbets."
Remus nodded and slowly, the two of them made their way back to the castle and to the hospital wing.
