"There is one old greenhouse," Neville began thoughtfully, tapping his chin before he changed his mind and shook his head, discouraged. "But no way to get to it unnoticed." He perked at the suggestion of the Lost Wands Room but frowned when Hermione mentioned outgrowing it, his eyes widening at the thought.
Lily looked from Alice's son back to Hermione listening attentively as the young woman considered the idea, her eyes widening a touch at the thought of this idea of theirs growing. Her son was certainly making courageous decisions, and there was no disputing that he and his friends believed in the importance of doing something like this.
Giving Harry a wink when he agreed to her alibi Lily nodded again, still looking pensive. "Who knows the castle better than anyone? Perhaps, if any of you are on good terms with the House Elves in the kitchen, they might have an idea of where you might go, though I'd strongly suggest that when you ask, you don't tell them what precisely it's for. Most of the House Elves are quite loyal to Dumbledore, and might take the news back to him, or someone else."
