James was hidden under his invisibility cloak, clinging to the side of the flying thing as it hovered over darkness. Lily couldn't have sent that ticket to him, he thought, it was some trick of Snape's so he could steal Lily away from him by making him look like a fool. James wobbled on his feet as the contraption thudded on the ground finally, somewhere he couldn't see where he was. The door flew open and he leapt out, grasping at his cloak and wand tightly as he landed on the sodden wet grass. "Bloody Snape... gonna hex the git." he growled as he pulled off his cloak. James looked up and watched the black machine fly away into the night, though he wouldn't get back on that thing if Lily herself was on there, enticing him back.
It was so dark outside, but the dawn was breaking over some building in the distance he could see. It looked a little like a smaller - much smaller - version of Hogwarts and he wondered if he was still in Scotland. James pulled out his wand into his open palm, concentrating on the vision of Hogwarts and muttered, "Point me!" His eyes widened as the wand spun round and round in his hand, emitting golden and red sparks from the tip. "Stop, stop!" he said frantically. No wand had ever had that affect when it came to a simple locator spell. What the hell was making it go around like a catherine wheel?
Looking around, noting the darkness, he took his wand and said 'Lumos." The tip shone pale icy blue and James groaned as he saw where he was. It was obvious. He was nowhere.
