Ch.2 RMS Titanic
Lily held on to the time tuner with difficulty. She and James were spinning; she closed her eyes, she was dizzy, she had to let go of the time turner. Then suddenly the spinning stopped, she opened her eyes. The next thing she knew she was being thrown across a plain white room. She cried in pain as she landed on her back. "James?" Lily said as she stood up and looked around the room. "James!" She yelled. Oh no, where is he? She thought. Where am I? She started to panic. Her heart was beating more rapidly than usual. She spotted a door to her right and opened it. Where am I? She stepped out of the room and into a plain hallway with pale olive green carpeting. She heard voices and they seemed close by. Thank goodness, people, they can tell me where I am and where James is.
James, who was more confused then Lily, was walking down a long corridor. Where is everyone? A minute ago I was in Hogwarts and now I don't even know where I am. He turned a corner and found himself face to face with a young man who looked to be the same age as James. "Hello?" James said out of the shock of seeing someone.
"Hello," the young man said. He reached his hand out to shake James' hand. "My name is John."
"Oh, sorry," James said and shook John's hand. "My name is James. Um, I don't want to sound weird, but where am I?"
John looked confused at his question and asked," You mean what part of the ship?"
James' eyes widened, "ship? I'm on a… I mean yes, I got lost. What part of the ship by the way?"
"We're near the stern, on F deck." John said. He looked at the floor and picked up a piece of paper. "Is this your ticket?"
"Umm, yes," James said and took the ticket from John. He glanced at it and there was no name, only a room number, he put it in his pocket. And then added, "I must have dropped it."
"Were you on your way to the general room before I bumped into you?" John asked. "Because if you're lost I can lead you there."
"Sure, I need to find someone anyway." James said and then followed John down the corridor and up a flight of stairs to the general room.
Lily had just walked into the room where she heard voices from which turned out to be the general room. She looked around and saw lots of people chatting while little kids were running around playing tag. She walked around the room and saw some people her own age, but no sight of James. I'd never think I would think this but where is James? Just then she looked at the doorway and saw James being led into the room by a tall guy with light brown hair. She walked towards him and for the first time in her life, she was happy to see him. The guy he was with walked away as soon as James saw her. She whispered in his ear, "James, do you know where we are?"
He then led her to a table and they sat down. Music started up in the background and some of the adults started to dance. "Lily, I found this, " he said as he took out the ticket from his pocket and handed it to her. "We're on a ship."
Lily's eyes widened in alarm as she examined the ticket and then said, "we're not just on any ship, we are on the Titanic!" James gave her a confused look and she added. " Look at the year James, its 1912. We're in the past, and what's worse is we are on the Titanic."
"Oh my, we're in 1912. Wait a minute, the object I picked up in the entrance hall was a time turner wasn't it?" When Lily nodded, James asked "do you have the time turner with you?"
"No, I thought you had it, now what are we going to do?"
James thought for a while and then said, "no big deal we could just search the ship until Titanic gets to wherever it goes."
"James, Titanic kinda sinks."
"Oh well we could search until it sinks and then get into a lifeboat once we find it."
"James you're so stupid."
"What?"
"You need to read more, the Titanic sinks and has only enough lifeboats for around half the passengers. Also we're in third class, meaning we might not reach a lifeboat."
James' eyes widened in horror and said, "I'm too young and handsome to die."
Lily rolled her eyes. He is so full of himself. I can't believe I get stuck in the past with only him and what's more I'm on a ship that's going to sink. Why me? Why? Why me? "Why me!" She said out loud shaking her head.
James was watching her; he thought she was going crazy; maybe I should slap her. No, there are too many people here, he decided.
"Oh no," Lily said after she snapped out of her 'why me' trance. She looked at James' ticket and asked, "Where am I going to sleep?"
"Definitely not with me, so don't even ask."
"I'm not asking," Lily said with slight anger in her voice.
"Yes you were." James said. "You want to sleep with me."
"No, I don't."
"Yes you do."
"You are so God damn conceited."
"At least I had a love life."
Lily was offended at that. She had a boyfriend but not anymore of course. She jumped up from her seat. "Do you want to start something?"
James stood up and said, " Don't be stupid, I could take you on any time."
"You want to fight, I'll beat you up right now." When James just laughed at her she added, "Bring it on."
"Calm down. You can't be serious. That is something I'd expect from your crazy friend Jacqueline."
Just then they noticed that the music had stopped a while ago and everyone, even the children, were staring at them. John came over to James and said," James, stop fighting with your girlfriend, you're causing a scene."
"She is not my girlfriend."
"Oh, sorry, you two look like a couple." Soon the steerage passengers started to go back at what they were doing before Lily and James' little dispute.
"What is that suppose to mean?" Lily and James hissed at the same time.
"Nothing, I'm sorry." And with that he walked to a girl with blond hair and started to talk to her.
"Well, I have to go and find a room to sleep in now so bye." Lily went down the stairs to D deck. Please, don't let me get lost, she said to herself. She found another staircase and went down it. She looked around and sighed relief when she found some of the third class rooms. She reached in her pocket and took out James' ticket. Sorry James, she thought, looks like you're sleeping somewhere else tonight. She located the room with difficulty. When she opened the door she looked around and to her relief didn't see any sign that other people had this room also. I get this to myself? The walls were painted white with a reddish floor. There were two bunk beds across from each other and a sink on the wall in between them. Oh well, I'll only sleep here for three nights, she thought to herself as she sat down on a bed.
James was about to go to his cabin, when he realized Lily had his ticket. That bitch, she planed this. She probably thinks I don't even remember the room number. Well, I don't, but I can remember. I know it ended with a 6 or was it a 9?
Lily was about to fall asleep when there was knock on the door. When she opened the door and saw James she tried to shut the door. James, being on the quidditch team used his quick reflexes and stopped the door from closing. Being way stronger than Lily, he easily opened the door and walked inside. "James, get out this is my room."
"No its not, you stole the ticket from me and you know it."
"Well, where was I supposed to sleep?"
"What about me? I need to sleep also," James said defending himself. "Look, there is more than one bed, we'll just have too share the room."
Lily thought for a moment, sat down on her bed and said, "fine. It's only for three nights anyway."
"What! The ship sinks in four more days?"
"Shush, shut the door, people will hear you."
"Okay, let me get this straight. Well only have until the 14th to find the time turner and get the hell out of here."
"That's basically it." Lily said. "Now I'm really exhausted, so let me get some sleep." Lily lied down on her bed and fell asleep almost instantly.
James, being tired too fell asleep on the other bed across from Lily.
