"I wouldn't ask you to," she assured him when he said he wouldn't be able to walk her there. She was sure he had other things to do and couldn't be catering to poor lost her all day. She sipped her hot chocolate as she watched him draw the map, though her gaze drifted occasionally out the window. 1964. If she thought back hard enough, she thought she could recall clothing a little like this in her mum's closet. When she and Tuney would play dress up ...

Lily bit down hard on her lower lip to still it when it started quivering. Of all the things to be the straw to break the emotional camel's back, it was a thought of her estranged sister?

She turned back in time to see Lee pulling out his wallet, and she shook her head slightly. "I have perfectly sound legs," she assured him. "And I'm sure I can exchange what money I have on me somewhere." She reasoned too that she could sell her wizarding money if this seemed like it was going to be a long-term stay. Despite everything she'd heard and seen so far, she was still rebelling against the idea that this may well be her life for an extended, indefinite period of time.

It was hard enough on her to take James' money, and she was engaged to marry him. She couldn't bring herself to take money from a near-stranger who'd already been so helpful.
