Lily nodded her head, almost wanting James to come with her. She told herself it wasn't for the company, but to let him have some time away from Sirius to calm down even more. Plus, it was probably better to give Sirius and Remus a little time alone. She was hoping to obtain the right potion from Professor Slughorn that would calm Sirius, but keep him attentive and aware of everything.
Lily stepped through the portrait, waiting for James to come through as well. She looked over at him and smiled, holding her hand out to him again.
They walked along the corridors in silence. Lily wanted to give him some time to himself, to think everything through. She cleared her throat as they got closer to the dungeons. "Are you alright James?" she asked, her voice soft. "I didn't mean to step in like that, but...he just looked so fragile. I thought you'd knock him out for good." She looked down at her feet as she spoke.
