Lily leaned against the stone wall outside Slughorn’s Office, wishing she had thought to bring a sweater along. At the end of a long day, the trek up the multiple flights of stairs to Gryffindor tower could be slog but at the moment she was grateful for it; it was significantly less draughty than the dungeons. If her research into Polyjuice Potion wasn’t giving her so much trouble she might not have bothered waiting around for office hours, but needs must. She sighed, doing her best not to be impatient, and pulled a book out of her school bag to pass the time. She had just removed the bookmark when the wall behind her shifted, suddenly opening up to reveal a passageway the led into a room not dissimilar from that of the Gryffindor common room.
