Minerva wanted to resist this show of affection. This must be against some rule somewhere. "Miss Evans, what is the meaning of this?" Minerva sounded more startled than scary.
"No. If you're going to leave, you should know that some of us will miss you. I'll miss you. The Deputy Headmaster will miss you too. I know. He told me," Lily said, still hugging her professor. And just like that Minerva's resolve vanished. She carefully put her arms around the small first year and let the girl’s head come to rest on her shoulder.
“Miss Evans, I just don’t feel that I belong here. Don’t you want me to be happy? I just don’t think that I can be happy here. As for Professor Dumbledore, I don’t know why he told you these things, but he hasn’t… I haven’t exactly been made to feel welcomed.” Minerva hoped she hadn’t said too much, but it had been hard to keep all of these feelings to herself all this time.
Lily stepped out of Minerva’s hug, took her hand, and began to lead her down the hall. She lead her stunned professor right over to Albus. “Professor Dumbledore, please talk to Professor McGonagall. She was sad and I thought maybe you could make her feel better. You can always seem to make students feel better.” Looking at Minerva, Lily gave a smile and said “Don’t worry. He’s very nice.” Then she scampered off leaving the two professors alone.
"Would you do me the honor of accompanying me on a walk around the grounds, Minerva?" Albus asked as he offered her his arm.
"No. If you're going to leave, you should know that some of us will miss you. I'll miss you. The Deputy Headmaster will miss you too. I know. He told me," Lily said, still hugging her professor.

I could've hexed them!
