James opened his eyes slowly.
"Where am I?" he thought.
He looked around and saw nothing. It was just vast, open, white space.
No one, nothing.
James started walking around. "So this is what it's like, hu..." James said.
"At least Lily and Harry are not here. Oh I hope they will be okay without me" James began thinking. But his thoughts were interrupted by a figure he saw in the distance. He strained his eyes some and...Oh God no!
Lily! He ran towards her.
When James reached her she wrapped her arm around him and began crying heavily. "James, oh James. Harry. Have you...?" she said in a panic.
"Oh please, please don't tell me..."She could not bring herself to even finish thinking the thought that Harry was killed.
James began crying also. "No, no...I don't think-I-he'll-just a- How did he-who?-"
James' mind was streaming with numerous thoughts and he could not get any of them out.
James and Lily held each other, crying and waiting. But Harry never showed up. However, this was no relief to either of them. Where was Harry? What happened to him?
James saw something in the corner of his eye and spun quickly.
Harry?
No.
What is that?
It was very odd, as if there was a exit back into the world in the distance. James could not make out any of the shapes or images but he knew it held all the answers. He had no idea how it did but he felt like he had to go over there, as if it was pulling him.
"Lily come with me." James said as he put his arm around her. She shook her head, "I can't-" she choked.
James brought her close to him and Lily cried into his chest. He kissed her head then she tearfully looked up at him. James leaned forward so his forehead was touching hers.
"Babe, we have to. We have to know and I-...I know..." James began choking up.
James' tears only made Lily upset again. She put her hand on his cheek, "Okay. Okay" was all she was able to sob out.
James and Lily held onto each other tight and walk over to image of blurred colors in the distance.
