Chapter 4. Discoveries
"Great!" i thought. "I got the prints!" i gave the bag to James.
"Thanks," he replied.
"I'm so so sorry; but I've got to go. Um...hey look! There's your friends. Bye now!" And, with that, I took off.
But i wasn't lying.
After all.
His friends were really there. They came to him and Sirius teased him on how he hurt his foot. Peter seemed fidgety. But behind them, Alice was walking towards me. From the look on her face, she has some good news.
Yeah baby….BFFs
"Hi, Lily. I got the others prints. That took a lot of books. Whew!" Alice said. "Now what?"
"Now we test it with your scanner," I answered.
MAN! Movies help.
"Let's hurry, soon it will be midnight," Alice said.
we quickly hurried to the Gryffindor common room. Alice brought her scanner from under her bed in the girls dorm. As I put in the first fingerprint (it was Remus's), the scanner took a while to scan it and compare it to the thief's print.
It wasn't a match.
I kept on feeding the prints in the scanner.
Though job is all I can say .
So far, all weren't a match. Alice was near the fireplace, warming up. Everyone already came from dinner and went to sleep. They didn't know what i was doing and didn't bother.
Then i picked up the last print. It was Peter Pettigrew's.
I yawned.
Then the scanner scanned the print.
It said that the prints was a match!
I was shocked. She ran into the common room where Alice was sitting next to the fireplace, finishing up her Charms homework. "Alice, I found out who did it! It was Peter Pettigrew," she whispered.
"What?" Alice was shocked.
"But why?" I started, "You know what? I'll tell McGonagall and question Peter tomorrow."
So, l and Alice didn't bother to sleep in bed. Alice shared her blanket with me. I told Alice, "Let's get closer."
They moved closer. Then, something above her caught Lily's eye. She looked up. There was a turkey wedged in between the two corners of the chimney.
"What the-" I was speechless.
"What? Oh!" Alice said.
"Tomorrow I'm taking this to Professor McGonagall," I vowed.
disgusted.
