Chapter 6:Lily's Epiphany
"SILENCE! No more complaints! Tonight somebody was out of bed in this area. I don't know who it was, but rest assured that I WILL find out whom," he spat, glaring at the Marauders, "and the person WILL be punished accordingly." Everybody glared at him. He smiled sweetly.
"And since you're all awake now anyways, I suppose I might as well pick up your essays." The common room exploded with whines and complaints.
"SILENCE!" Suddenly professor McGonagall stepped into the common room.
"Christopher! I believe that I'm head of house here! What is going on? And so early in the morning too...One would think that you were a mere child!" Holloway huffed indignantly.
"There were students out of bed this morning, MINERVA. Filch and I were checking around the area when we heard running. The Fat Lady would not tell us who was out."
"Well you should know to leave this for me-you do not see me barging into the Slytherin common room at 1:00 in the morning, do you? I think not!" Holloway scowled and motioned for Filch to follow him out. McGonagall smirked before turning back to the students.
"Bed. NOW!"
Jojo shot Sirius a relieved look as she and the rest of the seventh year girls headed back up the stairs. Lily, catching this look shot her a furtive look. Jojo glanced at McGonagall and mouthed 'upstairs'. Lily nodded wearily, also looking over at the head of house, who was looking knowingly at Jojo. Lily knew, however, that the professor would leave her be considering Jojo's circumstances. She watched as Jojo looked over at Sirius again and smirked at the realisation: something was going on between those two.
