Thank you Sirius, said Professor McGonagall. Now I know you weren't present for most of this Peter, but please tell me everything that happened until the time you came and got me.

Peter nodded and swallowed. Well, this morning we were in the Great Hall. After we had finished eating, Remus and Sirius were arguing over what we were going to do today. Sirius wanted James to back him up, but he was thinking about Lily, and hadn't been paying attention. Then James said that whatever we did, Lily should join in. Remus agreed and all of us except Sirius got up and started leaving to go get Lily. Sirius got up eventually though, and came with us.

We got to the Common Room, and it was deserted. So we decided that we'd just wait for Lily down there. Well both Sirius and James were impatient, but we waited anyways. Then suddenly there was a scream. Peter gulped and then continued. We all froze, and James realized that it was Lily. So James and Sirius ran for the stairs, and Remus and I started to join them when Remus turned around and ordered me to go get you, Professor.

So I ran out into the hall and started heading toward your office. When you weren't there, I figured you might be in the faculty room, so I ran down the stairs. On my way though, I saw a bunch of Slytherins grinning, and they were staring... right at me. With these words Sirius and Remus both sat up straight. Professor McGonagall's eyes grew larger.

whispered Sirius rather harshly.

Professor McGonagall grew stern. Who were they Peter?

Peter shut his eyes trying to remember. It was Malfoy, and a few of his friends... Nott... McNair... and Avery. Why, are they in this somehow? Peter asked with fear in his eyes.

Professor McGonagall answered. I don't know Peter, but they could be. I'll talk to them, but I doubt we can actually get evidence that they were a part of this. Please continue with your account Peter.

Peter shook his head. After I saw them I continued to the faculty room. When I got there, you were inside, and only seconds after I told you what happened, we ran back up to Gryffindor Tower, and that's it, Professor.

Professor McGonagall stood up. Thank you Peter, and again thank you Remus, Sirius. Most likely Professor Dumbledore will have spoken to both James and Lily in the same manner. The reason I asked for your accounts is that Professor Dumbledore will most likely like all accounts of the story so as to know exactly what happened. Now if you will excuse me, I will go get Mr. Snape for interrogations later on in my office. You are free to do as you wish now. And with that Professor McGonagall strode up the stairs and into the girl's dormitory.

The boys slumped into their seats not knowing what to do. What a lousy last day of school, said Sirius as he glared towards the girl's dormitory.
