WHO: James Potter and Lily Evans (World #14, bloodswap). WHEN: Saturday night, after James arrives. WHAT: James is trying to make sense of what happened and the OMGDINOSAUR in his room, when he bumps into Lily. STATUS/RATING: In progress. PG to PG-13ish, I'd imagine!
James found his way to his room in the Kappa block and closed the door quickly behind him. Not one for publicly freaking out, he had hurried off to find his room and was relieved that if he had a roommate, they were not there at the moment. What on earth is going on?!, he mentally shouted, falling back against the door until he was sure he wasn't going to faint or collapse. Was this a trick? Surely there had to be some sort of logical explanation for what was going on.
He'd been sneaking around Hogwarts, both looking to get into some trouble and for troublemakers, then the next thing he knew he was waking up in some hospital room with some official looking person giving him instructions. James barely heard a word of them, but understood enough to know that he had some room to go find somewhere. Even thinking back over what had happened didn't help him make sense of it all, so he gave up on that for the moment and focused on trying to stay calm.
James started looking around his room to see if he could find anything that would give him any sort of clue or hint, but all he found was some bug spray, sunscreen, and a blue t-shirt and cargo shorts. He felt like he'd slept in his school uniform for a week straight at that point - the wool had always been itchy to him, so he decided to change clothes. At the very least, it gave him something to preoccupy his mind with, if only for a few minutes. He dropped his school uniform on the floor and went into the bathroom to change and get cleaned up a bit.
When James came back out into his room, he almost had a heart attack. There was a miniature raptor...a RAPTOR...happily ripping his school uniform and robes to shreds. He could've sworn it looked up to him and gave him a rather toothy, mischievous grin -- but sure he was seeing things. He must have gone mental. Yes, that was the only explanation for it. He had gone mental and now he was in some nuthouse and he was seeing A DINOSAUR in his bloody room. He just smiled and nodded to the raptor like it understood him while he slipped past it and exited his room, shutting the door quickly behind him.
James took off down the hallway, content on putting as much space between him and the raptor as possible, even though he was a bit of a dinosaur nut, truth be told. He was too lost in his own little world to realize where he was going and rounded the corner, smacking right into some poor person. "Sorry, I'm sorry," he muttered, as he readjusted his glasses on his face.
