Lilu was actually on time this morning, filled with energy and good cheer. Regulus was back! Lilu couldn't help the grin that came every time she thought about Remus and Regulus being together again. They were alive and safe and now that they were both here, she could make sure they stayed that way. Severus too, even Ron--though her feelings were still extremely complicated when it came to Ron. They probably always would be.
She hadn't quite given up on the idea of going back, making sure no one died the first time around and that Parvati grew up with her parents and the Mauraders around her, but it wasn't as strong an urge as it had been. Pretty much everyone she cared about, including her maddening sister, was here in the castle now, and even if they eventually came to realize they were better off--nope, not going to think about that!
Unhappy thoughts banished, she skidded around the corner, and almost immediately the unhappy thoughts came back. "Oh if it isn't the Headmaster himself, come down from on high to mix with the little people," she said, just as coldly and with a sneer for good measure. Then, thinking of her conversation with Theo, brightened a little though the grin that bloomed was more manic than anything else.
"Actually, I have a question for you. It's for an important cause, that cause being wands and the need for ingredients. Might you deign to give me a moment of your oh-so-important time?"
