Kidnapping
James had just been in search of Lily after having lost her before. They were supposed to take a pleasant stroll round Hogsmeade and check out the various shops, but after he was bumped into, his glasses dislodging and blurring his vision, he almost saw stars. Bloody hell that was a hard bump. He turned to curse out the person only to note that it was Lily, and she looked downright panicked. His own eyes widened as he took in her state and her words, a hand pushing up his glasses so he could get a look at her.
"Wha — what, who, who's trying to get you?" He tried very hard not to let her fear pass into him, but seeing her so flustered and worried was doing awful things to his stomach. Without further thought, he pulled his tucked invisibility cloak from the back pocket of his Muggle jeans, enchanting it back to its original size with a quickly uttered spell. He didn't think, he just acted.
Tossing the cloak over them both, he guided them quickly to the side of a nearby shop, leaning into it with his back while pulling Lily close. Maybe now he could get some answers as he looked down at her and tried to steady his heart.
"Lily," he hissed, leaning close to her face, "what's this about? Who is after you, and why?"
