Sorry if it took a while. Thanks for the reviews and alert guys! Here is another chapter of AIEW. Hope you like it

Milly jumped to her bed. She just finished all her classes, and Merlin knows how sleepy she was. She was up until three in the morning talking to Remus. They were talking about random things that night. All Milly needed right now is to sleep. Even before Milly can close her eyes, she heard someone yelling her name.

"Milly!" A gryffindor rushed towards her.

"Alice? There's no need to yell. My ears can hear you perfectly." Milly yawned.

" Potter and Black hexed Snape."Alice reported.

"And?" Milly was used to that, but she wished that the two would stop doing that to Severus.

"Snape, he called Lily a mud blood!" She shouted. Milly didn't feel sleepy anymore. The news shocked her. She knew Snape call muggle borns, mud bloods but she can't believe Snape called Lily a mud blood. They were the best of friends, even before they arrive at Hogwarts. Snape was kind of a loner, and Lily was the only gryffindor except Milly, who talks to Snape.

"Why would Sev call Lily a mud blood?" Milly asked standing up.

"Your two guy best friends hexed Snape. Lily helped Snape but instead of being grateful, he called Milly a mud blood!" Alice told Milly. Milly shook her head. Snape had always been strange. Milly hadn't got any problems with him.

"Where's Lily?" Milly asked. She would comfort Lily first, and then she'll hex Severus later.

"I saw her heading to the towers." Alice pointed the way up to the towers.

"Thanks Alice." Milly ran to the towers.

The gryffindor dorm was located on the seventh floor. It was a good thing that it wasn't far from the towers because Mily needed to see Lily. Lily was there for her when she needed her. It was now her time to be there for Lily. When she reached the towers, she saw Lily sitting on the corner, crying.

"Lils!" Milly walked towards Lily and hugged her.

"Mills!" Lily hugged her back. "Sev, h-he called me mu-mud blood. I-I just he-helped him b-but he got a-angry at me instead." Lily sobbed.

"Shh. I know, Alice told me."Milly patted Lily's back.

"I-I just tried to help him, Mills"

"I'll talk to him."

"Milly, are you sure that you're just going to talk to Sev?" Lily asked suspiciously.

"Talk to him then I'll hex him." Milly admitted.

"Mills! Even he called me a mud blood you shouldn't hurt him."

"Lils, no one have the right to call you or any muggle borns a mud blood. It is not fair."

"I know but don't hex him like you did to Dorcas."Lily ordered.

"Fine."Milly nodded.

Milly looked for Severus. He wasn't in the grounds or library so Milly thought that he must be in the dungeons. Milly knew she can't go inside the slytherin dorm because she doesn't know the password. So she just decided to talk to Snape tomorrow. Lily stopped crying and read a book to the girl's dorm to keep herself busy.

Lily decided not to leave the dorm. Milly forced her to eat dinner but Lily said that she'll pass. Millicent ate with the rest of the marauders. They went to the kitchens and ate there. They have to eat early in order to be in the shack before the full moon rose. Remus was already in the shrieking shack. The After leaving the castle, the four turned into their animal forms. Peter touched the tip of the whomping willow and entered, followed by a stag, dog and eagle. They saw Remus sitting on a chair. They transformed back into their human form and approached Remus.

"Milly, what are you doing here?" Remus yelled.

"I'm here to help." Milly said in a matter of fact tone.

"No you can't."

"Sorry, moony. I'm already here and you can't do anything now." Milly raised an eyebrow at Remus.

"Milly. You know that when I transform, I forgot who my best friends are. I might accidentally hurt you. I do not want that to happen." Remus scolded Milly.

"Only Peter, Sirius and James can come with you? Come on, moony. I can take care of myself James, Peter and Sirius is also here! They wouldn't let anything happen to me." Milly sighed.

"Milly it is too dangerous. I wouldn't take a risk." Remus shook his head.

"Please?" Milly gave Remus her puppy face. Remus finds it cute and Milly knew that her friends can't resist that look.

"Could you please watch over her padfoot, prongs, wormtail?" Remus sighed looking at his other three best friends.

"Absolutely" Sirius and James said in unison. Peter nodded. Peter can't really protect Milly. He's animagus form was small enough to protect Milly.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Milly clapped her hands.

"Now we wait."Remus frowned.

"I forgot something back at the castle." Sirius said and ran back to the castle. It was awkward waiting for Remus to transform. Milly does not want to watch Remus transformed. She can't imagine that he's been like that, since he got bit by Greyback. A minute later, Remus started to transform. His robes are torn as his appearance changed. Remus's teeth were getting sharper and his chocolate brown eyes were changing. James told them to transform into animals. They did what James said. They had transformed first, before Remus completed his transformation. Sirius hadn't arrived yet. The three wondered what Sirius could possibly forget. The werewolf circled the eagle. It's alright, fluffer. Stay still, James telepathically said. The werewolf sniffled the eagle and the eagle move any movements. To their surprise, they saw Severus stunned as he looked at the werewolf. The werewolf growled and chased Severus. James immediately changed into his human form. He won't let Severus get eaten by a werewolf. No matter how James disliked Snape, especially when he called Lily a mud blood. He doesn't want him to be killed by Remus. James threw himself when the werewolf was about to scratch Snape. The sharp nails of the werewolf hit James's arm.

"Run!" James yelled to Severus. Milly flew to the werewolf. She screeched and distracted the werewolf. Once they saw Snape was out of sight, James returned into his animal form. With all his strength, he used the horn on his head to knock Remus down. When James hit the werewolf, the werewolf immediately went asleep.

"Have you seen the look on Snivellus's face? It's bloody hilarious!" He laughed.

"Padfoot, that's not funny! He could have died. Remus could have killed him!" Milly yelled.

"It's funny. He should learn not to get into other's business."Sirius smirked.

"Prongs?" Sirius smirked turned into a frown. He saw that the stag got a bleeding scratch on the left arm.

"Padfoot, you shouldn't have done that." James said as he returned into his human form.

"It's just a joke, Prongs."Sirius sighed.
"Not a funny one." James said.
"Pr-prongs, I think we should visit the hospital wing." Peter said, returning into his human form.

That night, the four dropped James to the hospital wing. They told the healer that James was scratched by a cat. Then they headed to the professor Dumbledore's office. They asked professor McGonagall to help them get into the headmaster's office. They told professor McGonagall that they wanted to talk to the headmaster about Remus's condition. When they entered the office, they saw Snape talking with Dumbledore.

Last night was exhausting. They were glad that Dumbledore didn't find out about them being an illegal animagi. It would cost too much trouble. Milly went to the dungeons to talk with Snape. She hadn't got the chance to talk to him yesterday.

"Excuse me can I have a word with Severus?" Milly tried to be polite around Snape's other friend, Mulciber.

"Blood traitor" Mulciber muttered.

"Severus, I need to have a word."Milly demanded. When Snape didn't move, Milly pulled him away to Mulciber.

"I apologize for what happened yesterday." Milly said.

"I could have died because of that werewolf." Snape spat.

"It wasn't Remus's fault. If you weren't intrigued about Remus, you wouldn't be in the shrieking shack at the first place."

"Defending your friends as usual."

"No. I do not defend them when they are wrong. Sirius made a mistake yesterday. I won't defend him because I know he's just being a jerk to you. I know that hexing you wasn't right. That's why I argue with them about you. I also defend you."

"That worked well, talking Potter and Black to stop hexing me."He sneered and continued, "I wouldn't have called Lily a mud blood if it weren't for them."

"They hexed you Sev! They didn't force you to do anything. Do not use them as a bloody excuse why you called Lily a mud blood."

"I-I didn't intend to call Lily that."

"I know you like her. James fancies her. You're both my friends and I'm not taking any sides. "

"H-How did you know?" Snape's eyes widened. He was so shocked that Milly knew his secret.

"Sev, it doesn't take a genius to figure that out. I notice how you look at her, and you smile when she's with you. You two had been friends, even before you came here at Hogwarts. Apologize to her. Lily's very kind and you know that. She might forgive you after all." Milly said and left the dungeons.
