Re: Al, Severus, Lily
Lily reached out to take Al's hand while they waited for the Patronus to come again, because he looked visibly worried and she hated to see that. "I'm sure everything is fine," she said, because the Patronus had seemed excited, not upset.
"Not much would be, I suspect," she said softly, wondering what had been so important that Jamie hadn't spared a thought for the method of communication to his brother. For all her eldest grandchild seemed to prize family, it didn't seem so at the moment.
