Lily shot up like a flash and started darting around the room, looking in secret hideaways for potions, vials, and tubes. She stuffed each one in her robes along with a couple of ingredients: newt's foot, toad leg, griffin feather, and things of that sort. When she had finished, she told Albus to follow and almost sprinted out of the common room. Albus had to walk at a canter to keep up with her as she wound her way around the corner and staircase. It was past curfew, so Albus tried not to make too much noise, but Lily stomped her feet with no regard for the sound she was making. She led him into the empty charm's classroom and through a side door into a hallway that Albus had never even seen before. It was an old part of the castle judging from the flea-bitten carpet and cobwebbed drapes. It also had tinted windows, so it was darker than the rest of the castle. The hallway was adorned by suits of silver armour holding different weapons: a scabbard, a lance, a long sword, and a Bastard were just a few Albus saw as they raced down the hallway.
