"Is everyone here?" James asked impatiently, others around us muttered in agreement.
The room was filled with brightly coloured dresses, and an atmosphere of curiousity floated around the room.
We all wanted to know.
"Okay, the book instructs that you all have to form a circle around me" James told us while reading the marked page again. Everyone shuffled into a large circle around James "we all need to focus on a specific time and place, so we've been here 5 minutes, how about outside the corridor a minute ago" more people muttered in agreement "conjure the image in your mind and think about a minute ago"
I could vividly see the corridor in my mind.
James spoke clearly, but the words where unfamiliar... latin maybe?
"nos a tempus velit lacus, et delere peccata talis vita praesenti praeteritum, ut raeteritum tempus mutare vellem" a golden light swirled out of James's wand, it was so beautiful. I forgot all about the corridor and the minute, my mind was entirely focused entirely on the liquid-like gold that swirled around James, moving slowly towards me.
The grace it held...
It was beautiful...
I just wanted to reach towards it... to enclose it in my hand... for it to stay there for forever...
It swirled around my arm, warm and blissful. It climbed up my arm and continued to move around my body. encapturing it.
The floor below vanished, I was sucked into darkness, nothingness.
Where was Scorpious? Where was I? What had happened?
Darkness, darkness was everywhere.
I hit a cold, hard surface below me.
voices called out to me, I felt pain, unbearable pain.
I heard screaming, who was screaming?
But I was floating again, and the voices were louder, were they shouting?
"Lily, open your eyes" my Scorpious, he was here "Lily, open your eyes" I tried, I tried to open them, it was although my eyelids had been glued together "Lily" he growled "open your eyes!" I strained harder, and the light hit me, blurring the person before me.
"Scorpious...?"
"Yeh, it's me babe" he frowned "lets get you up" he his arm around my waist and lifted me to my feet.
"Whats going on?" I asked as I saw the MU crowded around an old man.
"I think we went further back in time then we intended, the man; Dumbledore, he says we're in 1997"
"1997... dad's 6th year"
"Yeh" was Scorpious's only reply.
James walked over to us.
"We need to go with this Dumbledore guy, you ok to walk?" he asked me.
"I hope so"
