Lily had been planning on going to her afternoon classes, but after the way the day has been going, she was beginning to think differently. She doubted that she would be needed with the boys, but part of her didn't want to be go farther than the common room just in case. "I don't think I will actually," she said, looking up at him. "I was going to, but since morning classes were canceled already..." She gave a small shrug. "Besides, I have Potions in the afternoon and I think Professor Slughorn will understand if I don't attend this one class." She was a very good student and rarely did anything out of the ordinary. But today and the night before had definitely been an exception.
When the elf came back up with the food, Lily smiled down at the elf. "Thank you," she said, taking some more time than James. She hesitated only a little before taking his hand and allowing herself to be drawn back outside.
"I hope they're doing alright," she said. "And that they're hungry." She looked over at the stream of students who began to exit the Great Hall. "I think I'll stay down in the common room while you take the food upstairs. I should give you guys the space you need. But could you bring some of the food down for me? I'm still a little hungry." Really she should have asked for her own, but it hadn't crossed her mind in time.
