“[...] And as for you, Mr Lupin, as this is your last month at school, I don’t see that detention will be very effective.”

This was not a relief, to Remus. She was still smiling, which meant she knew exactly how best to punish him, and he wasn’t going to like it.

“Give me detention if you want!” He said, quickly.

McGonagall chuckled, shaking her head.

“Oh no…” Remus breathed.

“Oh yes!” Sirius cheered.

“POTTER!” Lily Evans shouted, “Get DOWN from there, you’ll hurt yourself!”

“Potter,” Lily straightened her back, staring over the pile with a look of bemusement, “Have you been in the library ?! In the morning?! Instead of flying ?!”
