So, today is The Day.

What day might that be, you might ask?

Why, it is the day that James does his periodic check to see whether the front door will open and let him back into his world. After talking to his uncle Ron (who had told him just that - to check the door from time to time), he is actually surprised to find that not long after that word of

Will sees James in front of the door and ruffles his hair,

"'as yer Door come back, James?"

[notthatpotter]

James nods.

"It has," he says - somewhat in awe. "It actually has."

[will_scarlett]

"Told ye it would, but why are ye sittin' in front o'it, na goin' to go 'way 'gain?"

[notthatpotter]

"I dunno," James admits. "Guess it's just...hard to believe the door actually opened this time."

He tilts his head up at Will.

"I need to...pack or something. Bring some of my things with me. And...leave notes and stuff." Beat. "And Teddy! I've got to tell Teddy."

Like, by his sister maybe?

"Um, James?" she asks. "What're you doing sitting in the middle of the floor?"

[notthatpotter]

[ooc: this'll be milli-timed to before Will's thread; is that okay?]

James glances up, immediately recognizing that voice.

"Lily!" He blinks. "What are you - I thought you went home!"

[twoyearsmore]

OOC: [works for me!]

She shakes her head. "I guess we've been so busy around here, we haven't seen each other a lot." Or so says the mun's half-assed attempt at handwaving Lily's absence.

"So, why are you sitting in the middle of the floor? Teddy stick you there or something?"

[notthatpotter]

He laughs.

"My door's opened, Lil. It's actually opened."

That might not particularly explain why he's sitting in the middle of the floor, though.

In fact, it really doesn't.

"How are you doing?"

She stops by asking softly.

[notthatpotter]

[ooc: this will be milli-timed to before Will's thread; is that okay?]

"I'm -" He turns his head to look upwards and sees his mum - well, the younger version of his mum.

"I'm good," he tries again, looking a little dazed but pleased nevertheless. He is still in awe that his door actually opens. "My door's not locked anymore."

[missginnytonic]

[ooc: That is fine]

She sits down on the floor with him.

"Wow that's great so your going back to school?"

[notthatpotter]

He nods, slowly.

"Yeah. As soon as I decide to go through the door." He laughs. He might have been waiting to say a couple of goodbyes first.

Or he might just be a little scared nervous.
