: And The Sea Will Tell :
Hey. My name's Sio, and this is my second serious fanfiction. And The Sea Will Tell is about friendship, trust, love, betrayal, family, and forgiveness, under seemingly impossible circumstances.
The Scene: It is the final night of seventh year for the Marauders- their graduation ceremony is tomorrow. All of the students climb into bed, anticipating the day to come. One by one, Marlene McKinnon, James Potter, Sirius Black, Lily Evans, Peter Pettigrew, Emmeline Vance, and Remus Lupin wake, and they do not find themselves inside the stone walls of Hogwarts.
Prologue
Pale, watery moonlight light seeped through her bed hangings, flowing over her body and her vermillion hair, spread out over the pillow. As the brightness met her sleeping eyes, her face contorted against it, and she blinked- once, twice. Awake, though not pleased about it. Lily yawned and poked her head out between the curtains. The moon was sinking low over the forest; it would disappear below the trees soon. It had a strange, almost pinkish glow that night, and seemed so large. She listened, still for a few minutes, for the clock to chime. Half past two.
Bugger, Lily thought irritably. Or at least as irritably as one could be when one was not entirely conscious. She pulled the covers over her head and shut her eyes firmly. It was far too early to be awake, particularly on a day like this. She was quite determined to sleep in her bed as long as possible. Maybe delay the ceremony, and then never leave Hogwarts, ever. Yes. Lily yawned.She rolled over and closed her eyes again.
The moment she did so, an odd feeling came over her. She was sinking rapidly into cold, moving water. Alarmed, she tried to wake herself, but got nothing more than a mouthful of salty ocean. Her limbs moved oddly; she was blind in the strange dream.
Help me! She cried in her head.
And then she thought nothing at all, and the world was deep and blue.
