Your Heart Has Reason Which Reason Does Not Know

"JAMES!" Lily screamed, diving towards the edge. She tried to grab his hand, but he had fallen to fast. Nox sat on the edge of her box and snickered slightly under her breath.
"Don't worry, Lily, you know he'll just hit the ceiling of some classroom," Nox said lightly, as if it were no big deal. Lily glared back her coldly and stood up from the floor.
"You will save him," Lily said walking towards her. Nox again laughed.
"I just got rid of him," Nox said, waving her finger as a threat, "You should be thanking me, you know! I see the future when I want to, and you'll only be crying again."
"I don't believe you!" Lily shrieked, "He was the first person to ever be nice to me here!"
"It won't last." Nox said, fluffing the ends of her dark purple hair in a mirror that floated just above her lap, "Lily, you need to rest," she said, extending long black jagged wings.
Lily was frantically looking over the edge of the beam Her eyes sparkled with tears. Her head darted every direction. Her ears perked, listening for a scream, or a crash. Something she dreaded more then anything.
Nox landed on top of her head, and pushed her finger into her forehead. Lily instantly relaxed and weakly headed for the small couch, "You need to sleep, Lily," Nox said lightly, directing her to lay down.
"What about James?" she said with a small yawn.
"He'll be just fine," Nox assured her, Lily smiled and rested her head on a pillow. Nox sat down next to her ear and began singing;

Sleep sweet within this quiet room,
O thou, whoe'er thou art,
And let no mourning yesterdays
Disturb thy peaceful heart.
Nor let tomorrow mar thy rest
With dreams of coming ill:
Thy Maker is thy changeless friend,
His love surround thee still.
Forget thyself and all the world,
Put out each garish light:
The stars are shining overhead-
Sleep sweet! Good night! Good night!

Lily was put into a forced sleep, and even before she was finished singing, Nox was gone.

As James fell he looked up and saw Lily trying to reach for him. He knew it was pointless but he lifted his hand and tried to touch her fingers. He didn't shout, because he figured he'd have plenty of time to screamed when he broke half the bones in his body.
Falling was taking an abnormally long time. James crossed his arms and looked around seeing nothing but darkness forever. Even the light from Lily's room was completely gone.
"I'll stop any time now," James said, laughing to himself, thinking he might as well be slightly humored when he would smash into the ground. He didn't think it would work, but after he said, that he stopped in mid air.
Shocked, he looked around and saw a light ball of light come towards him. It was laughing at him.
"Silly little boy," the small circle said, giggling. It had a high pitched, relatively female- sounding voice.
"Um...?" James was lost in thought. He felt the air around him, and couldn't believe that there was nothing there. He was almost floating... except he couldn't move.
"Do you think you could put me on the ground?" James asked. Even when he said it to himself it sounded stupid. The light flickered quickly, and James found himself lowering to the ground slowly.
"So, what's your name?" the small light asked, hovering around his face.
"James," he responded weakly.
"How pretty," it giggled again, James guess it was a she, even though he couldn't see her, "My name is Luna. I was summoned by someone with extreme powers of the moon. Someone connected with me has decided to save you."
James was confused, but didn't say anything until he felt the solid ground under his feet, "Where am I?" he asked, still peering around into the darkness. Her little body didn't provide to much light. He felt his pocket and pulled out his wand, "Lumos!" The chamber was badly lit. It was like a large cylinder of wood and rafters, probably above a class room, he thought.
"This is underneath the Gryffindor common room," Luna said, fluttering around his head again, "You're cute."
He blushed silently, but straightened up and started looking for a door, "Is there any way out of here?" he asked, feeling the wall for a knot or a loose board.
"Well.... I suppose I could take you out of here," she said, giggling. While James had his back turned to her, there was a bright flash of light and a much lower pitched voice began speaking to him.
"You'll have to follow me if you want to get out," the voice said. James spun around to see a very tall and fairy-like woman standing in front of him. She had white skin that shone in the large circular space, "Are you ready?"
"Y-Yeah," James stuttered almost silently. She held out one long white arm, and took his hand, "This shouldn't hurt. You'll end up in the hallway nearby."
She lifted her other hand and closed his eyes. James tried to open them, but it was like they were sealed shut. There was a strong jet of cold air and when James opened his eyes, he was standing in the hallway, next to an impossibly familiar looking statue that he knew he'd never seen before; it was of Luna standing with her wings shut and her eyes closed, just like a statue should be.
