Rating: E for emotions??
James took a deep breath and dropped the little metal box down beside him. His head was starting to pound slightly, remnants of the day’s earlier headache starting to take root behind his eyes. He slumped forward a little, spine curving as he rubbed his eyelids beneath his glasses.
Despite the messages continuing to arrive on the machine beside him, he felt utterly lost. One moment he’d been crossing the landing at home, and the next… well, he’d been shivering in this unfamiliar square, fresh air nipping at his skin. The primary emotion, after the momentary disorientation, had been panic. He'd spun around, looking for Lily and the baby, already knowing they wouldn't be there. Fear clawed it's way violently up his throat, dread winding tightly around his chest.
It had taken him a little while to pick up the box on the table, to try pressing the buttons. And then messages had started coming back, filling his head with so much stuff that it was suddenly hard to breathe, let alone think straight. Finding his friends had been an almost painfully huge relief, but even that had eventually left a bitter taste at the back of his mouth. It all felt wrong somehow. Twisted and warped.
Merlin, where were they??
It seemed like an age before he heard someone arrive in the quiet square. James jumped to his feet, his wand suddenly finding it's way to his hand as he peered across the open space, muscles curled tight as a spring across his back.
