Lily stood in her dormitory, leaning on the wall and listening to James yelling. He never gets this mad, Lily thought. I wonder what Sirius did?
"SIRIUS," James bellowed in the Heads common room below her. "HOW COULD YOU TELL HIM SOMETHING LIKE THAT? REMUS IS OUR BEST MATE!"
Sirius's voice floated up the stairs to where Lily was standing, but she couldn't make out what he was saying.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, 'IT SLIPPED'? HOW CAN SOMETHING THAT IMPORTANT SLIP?"
More mumbles from Sirius.
"IT WASN'T YOUR SECRET TO TELL! YOU COULD'VE KILLED HIM! YOU COULD'VE GOTTEN US ALL EXPELLED!" A smashing noise came from downstairs. "Reparo," James said, a little quieter than how he was yelling (but not much).
Lily had had enough. She opened the door of her bedroom and walked down the stairs to more shouting.
"GUYS!" she screamed, cupping her hands around her mouth. "GUYS!" They turned to face her; Sirius's face was glum and he looked miserable (who wouldn't when James was screaming at them) and James was livid. "Stop it," Lily said, walking in between them. "This is ridiculous! You guys are best friends. What did Sirius do that could ruin that?"
"He told!" James said, pulling out his wand and pointing it at Sirius. "He told!"
"Maybe I should take this away," Lily said, snatching James's wand away from him and pocketing it. Sirius looked at her and mouthed 'thank you'. "James, what did Sirius tell, and to whom?"
"He told Snape that Remus is a werewolf!" James exclaimed, pointing at Sirius.
Sirius's eyes widened as Lily clamped a hand over her mouth in astonishment. "YOU TOLD!" he screamed. "JAMES YOU TOLD!"
Lily, however, wasn't paying attention. "Of course," she said to herself. "Moony! I don't know why I didn't see it before!" She ran out of the portrait hole and to the hospital wing, where she found Remus eating some chocolate.
James and Sirius burst into the hospital wing seconds later, faces flushed and out of breath. "Moony, it's all my fault," Sirius panted.
"No, it's mine," James said.
"Both of ours," they both said at the same time.
"I was yelling at Padfoot for telling Snivellus about your furry little problem, and then Lily came and asked what was wrong and I guess it just slipped and Snivellus isn't allowed to tell because he'll get expelled because Dumbledore found us yesterday when you were in the Shrieking Shack but now Lily knows and I'm just really, really sorry."
"James," Lily said briskly. "Stop babbling. I don't care if he's a werewolf. I honestly don't."
"Prongs, Padfoot," Remus said, "I was going to tell Lily soon anyway. And Snape can go in a ditch. Just forget it."
Lily sighed. "Men."
