(JILY) MARAUDERS AND VALKYRIES : THE FALL OF SERPENT

16. Detention with Hagrid

"Why we still have to do the detention?" groaned Lily.

All the students were called to remain in The Great Hall till noon as the aurors and teachers searched the whole school and checked safety status. The students were still unaware of last night attacks.

"Because MacGonagall is not soft and we broke the rules and also you saw that Filch was up to her neck until she had made sure that we get a detention." said James. "And don't worry it will be fun to hang out with Hagrid."

"What you all are talking about ?" asked Fabian as he and Gedeon sat at Gryffindor table with the Marauders , girls , Alice and Frank.

"Just detentions and school. How is Auror training ?" asked James

"Its hard and tiring but when you know that it'll help to fight in the war it gives a purpose and is surely worth it." said Gideon.

"Alice and I are also going to apply for auror training " said Frank.

"Good, we will meet soon then, by the way we have a good news from Molly " said Fabian excitedly.

"What?" asked everyone.

"She is expecting a third baby in August" said Gideon and others chhered

"Good, she is really making love very much. How is Arthur by the way " asked Alice.

"Oh he is really loving his work in the Muggle department but sometimes gets all sad with the way many ministry people think of muggles. And the war is not helping." sighed Fabian.

"Okay guys we will leave now, we have to get back to London by noon and you all take care"said Gideon

"We will miss you both " said Sirius.

"We will miss you all too, but I hope we will meet soon." said Fabian and both the twins left.

Dumbledore stood up and addressed the great hall.

"You all must be wondering why you have been asked to remain in here and why there are Aurors here." nearly the entire student body nodded. "Well, I am sad to inform you that last night there was an attack in the Hogwarts, death eaters were involved." many people gasped and exchanged worried looks. "But I am happy to inform you that there were no casualties thanks to the aurors who were all alert, though Professor Ritwick was injured and has been sent to St. Mungo's , he will not return to continue his post as it was mentally drasting for him and old age wasn't helping, so that position for now will be looked over by Caradorc Dearborn, an Auror who on my request has agreed to remain as a a substitute until we find a permanent teacher.

With deep regret I have to inform you that four students Mr.Alecto Carrow, Mrs. Amycus Carrow, Mr. Scabior Nott and Mr. Adrian Synde has been expelled from the school due to their involvement in the attack. I request you all not to do stupid things like them and act sincerely."

The whole day passed with students making their own version of the attack, but no one suspected the 11 gryffindor students involvement at all. Though Professor MacGonagall has given them 20 points each for behaving well in the Great Hall.

The next day in the afternoon Lily found herself walking to Hagrid's hut along with James for their detention. James has gone back to normal again after the outburst in the hospital wing that night. He has started to annoy Lily and asked her to go out with him 3 times. Lily each time has come up with a witty reply.

"How many times have you had detention with Hagrid?" asked Lily

"So many times that I have lost count." grinned James.
