"Harry you have visitors. Your return has caused quite a stir."

The moment she said this, Hermoine burst through the doors looking worried and relieved at the same time. Professor McGonagall trailed behind her calmly, her face devoid of any expression.

"What happened?" Hermoine looked so severe as if she might implement a punishment on him that's worse that Professor Snape's. So he told them the whole story from the beginning, trying to make Lily look less like a psychotic.

"Well atleast you're okay," Hermoine said, giving him a hug at the end of the story. "Oh and Ron should be on his way. He got in trouble with Professor Flitwick for setting Sir Cadogan's portrait on fire. Harry thought this was brilliant but he didn't say so, reading the annoyance on Professor Mcgonagall's face.

"Told that boy not to mess around with portraits. He'd get in some serious trouble sometime," she muttered.

"Oh and Neville should be joining you. Come to think of it," Hermoine said thoughtfully, "he's probably the first person to have his finger burnt off by a fire crab."

Harry supressed an hysterical urge to laugh as Lily shot the nurse a sympathetic look.

She just shrugged, "a nurse's job is never done."

"Good job on your Philimina charm, Lily. Five points to Griffindor."

"But Professor, she hasn't been sorted yet," Ron butted in, just as he entered the infirmary.

She eyed Lily for a moment, "Ms. Wright. Be at my office by six tomorrow. And we'll see what we can do about that."
