The more the kids spoke, the more Lily had to work to keep her expression neutral. As they rehashed their situation she stayed quiet, her eyes darting around the room, first to her son and then to Blaise. When Hermione spoke she looked downright thoughtful, considering the trouble they were likely to be in should they get caught.

Hermione had always seemed to be the most level-headed of her son's friends and hearing that she was unsettled enough by what the school had chosen to do with Defense Against the Dark Arts to encourage Harry to take on the task himself and put them all at risk spoke volumes about how important this was to them all.

"It's a shame you can't hold it here," Lily crossed one arm over her middle, thoughtfully tapping her chin with her other hand. "The lost wands room? Nobody ever went through there, though I suppose it is a fairly busy corridor the room itself was quiet while I was there." Realizing that she had already begun to go along with this, thus giving her unspoken consent (at least it stood to reason it would be seen as such in the eyes of a group of teenagers) Lily paused and held up a hand.

"I don't know anything about this, we never had this conversation, as I'm sure all of you are very aware of."
