Lily woke up slowly, and felt very fuzzy when she did. Her head ached a little, but not quite as badly as her arm ached. Sitting up slowly, she knew she'd been drugged, and for a long moment, she stared at her bloody arm. The sheets and her clothing were bloody as well, and she reasoned it looked worse than it really was. The blood was dried, her arm covered in a flaky maroon mess. She eased out of bed, stumbling a little as she tried to find her balance. Emerald eyes blinked and Lily sighed.
Well, none of them had really expected to go unmolested, had they? Crossing unsteadily to the bathroom, she ran the water until it was warm before she washed her arm off. Beneath the blood she could see what had bled; the wounds on her arm very strongly resembled some sort of animal bite. A dog, she was going to guess. The only dog she knew was Dug, and his threats against Chase aside, she didn't think he'd really bite anyone. Especially not her.
Wrapping her arm in some gauze she found in her medicine cabinet, Lily shook her head. She thought about having a shower but didn't trust herself to stand beneath the spray. Instead, she settled for washing her face with a warm cloth. She slipped out of her bloody clothing and eased into a dressing gown with every intention of hitting her closet. She paused upon exiting the bathroom when she caught sight of the cauldron sitting on the desk. It was a small thing, really sort of resembling the one she'd had in school.
Curious, she crossed over to it. Attached was a note that read simply You might need this.
"This" proved to be a neatly wrapped and labeled package of potion ingredients. Even if they hadn't been labeled, she would have known all of them - but not what to do with them. No potion she could call to mind combined Wolfsbane and moonstone. Perplexed, Lily gazed at the ingredients. She could come up with any number of potions that involved varying amounts of most of the ingredients, a few that involved one or two missing elements, but nothing that could be made from the quantities of what she'd been provided with.
Lily imagined Severus would have a better idea, but given the outcome of their prior encounter, she was reluctant to ask him. Still, if it was something she might need, and something she couldn't make herself, what recourse did she have, really?
Taking time to dress in jeans and a sweater, Lily gathered up the cauldron with the ingredients tucked inside and carried it across the hall. She rapped on his door and hoped he was awake and at least in a reasonable mood and able to tolerate her mudblood Gryffindor presence long enough to give her the information she needed.
