"The edge of the forest has bushels full of speckled berries that pulse and glow. Slughorn has a jar of them in the Potions Classroom. I like that part of the castle." He shrugged and yawned lightly. Severus shot a nervous glance at Lily. "Did you want to see anything?"
Her eyes were wide then, knowing that she wanted to see them. His matter-of-fact tone made her feel a little inferior, as though she should be used to that sort of thing. "I don't mind. I want to see whatever you want to see."
