[ There's a burst of green light as "-Kedavra" hits him and - ] Li- [ James blinks away the bright green to find himself in a room very unlike the one he had been cornered in. It's the lobby of Cair Paradisa - but James doens't quite know that yet.] -ly?

[ James found himself sprawled on the floor. Getting up, he took in his surroundings. It was a castle of some sort - much similar to Hogwarts - but it lacked the warmth and familiar tug his home of seven years caused within his stomach. ] Padfoot? Evans? Dumbledore?

[ A journal lay open near where he once laid. He bent down, picking it up, and watched as the words he had spoken appeared on the page. ] Flobberworm. Squid. Snivellus. Confundusapparatusmotherhubbarddogoldtreechickenhenpotato - Huh. [ For all the words appeared on the page. James found this very interesting. ]

[ James shrugged, deciding that this journal was just another trick of Sirius'. He spun on the spot, closing his eyes, thinking of home - Godric's Hollow, Lily's warm smile, the snow - and when he opened his eyes, he found himself looking at the same walls he'd just seen. So - Apparating seemed to be down at the moment. ] Well. At least I haven't appeared to splinch myself. [ That was the least of his problems. For the panic had yet to settle in. ]

No. 'Fraid not. Plus, these days I don't have much time. Maybe this Castle pulled me in to get me to read more? [ Shrugs. He highly doubts that's possible without the influence of Moony or Lily or someone very into books. ]

[ He struggles with the word: ] Computers?

Oh! So you're from the past? Do you know what year?

That is very unlikely! But it would not be a terrible idea to read more, especially here.

Yes! They are ahead of my time but rather convenient! Think of them as a television, a telephone and a book combined. With them, you can communicate with someone who is clearly across the world by using a keyboard -- but not the musical sort. This keyboard contains letters and numbers and you use it to type your messages. You may also view videos and, with the use of something called a microphone, you can even talk to your friends! Ingenious, isn't it?

I am from the year 503.

Sounds very ingenious! [ And very confusing, but James is stunned and impressed all the while being thoroughly confused. ] Seems to make the telephone seem inferior!

[ o___o ] 503? That's - very, very far into the past. I'm from late 1981.

It does! Or so I have been told.

[ don't mind her as she giggles ] Yes, I know it must seem surprising! It is equally shocking for me to hear that people are well over a thousand years ahead of me.
