[ Lily isn't unused to kindness from strangers. It happens, and she's grateful each time, but something about this in particular stills her. She's quiet for a long moment, looking at him.
It reminds her of magic, though it's not something she's sure she could do, if only because of how hers works. But she can understand it and the concept behind it and finally, finally, she nods.
She has to know. If she can get back and forth between here and Harry, maybe she can still protect him. Make up for all the years she missed. ]

Thank you.
[ It's quiet. Not defeated, but grateful. ]
