Game Lobby
thursday 2nd July.
9am
no one could remember getting here the last thing lily could remember was her and james leaving the car at this strange destination? now they wake up here separated in a large room filled with hundreds of stacked bed frames. in these odd white tracksuits with numbers on? lily had a number of '021' stitches on her jacket chest? how strange. it took her a long time to find james in this huge room full of people, all dressed the same so it was difficult. but once she found him he was just as bewildered "lily? what the hell happend? where are we?" he asked sounding worried. but dont ask her she was just as confused and worried. james was labelled '20' as if they were prisoners? they both stuck together for now. they kept close and didn't speak to anyone.

remus woke up. in this uncomfortable bed. the noise of chatting woke him up he stretched awake and his calfs were slipping off the bed due to being so tall. this bed was uncomfortable, then again he was used to it so it didn't bother him. what did bother him was, 'where the hell am i?' he thought. and he got out of this bed and looked around confused. there was so much people all looking scared and confused he looked at himself grabbing his jacket 'what the fuck is this bollocks?' he mutterd to himself looking at the number imprinted on it. '098'. he didn't know what he was feeling. but for one thing sure, he was definitely furious.
***
sirius was feeling the same as everyone else, but also very protective. he woke up a while ago and ever since hes been looking for regulus. shouting his name a d searching every corner frantically. grabbing people from the back whom looked like him and spinning them around only to get looked up and down at in disgust. he was panicking now, his eyes were glossy and his voice was straining.
"REG! REGULUS!"
but nothing. he couldn't hear himself think over all this chatter and fury from everyone else, they were all stuck in the same boat. and had no idea of coming out.
sirius ran around becoming more shook up. just as he was he ran into someone. both of them falling down. sirius slid a bit knocking some others down like bowling pins. he scanned around a d saw the person he knocked over getting up. furious but also a kind look in her eyes. she got up beckoned closer to him and held her hand out getting him to his feet.
"what'chu playing at?!" she asked looking him up and down. as if he was any different? he wasnt they all looked the same. except the numbers on the jacket chest. this womans number was '124' her hair was dark brown and in tight curls, you could say shes attractive.
"im-" he stuttered looking around still "im looking for my brother i- i cant find him anywhere.."
her eyes softened and she brushed some of the dirt of his jacket "hey im sure youll find him... t's his name?"
"regulus" he spoke quickly his eyes still scanning.
"regulus. alright ill help you if youd like.. i need help looking for my friend marlene." she smiled at him reassuringly.
sirius then stopped looking around. as if he inew it was pointless. and actually looked at her. softening at her calm and collected persona "thank- thank you.. im. im sorry about that. a moment ago."
"dont worry about it-"
"no i wasnt looking and i was too focused on- err dis i hurt you?"
she smiled shaking her head "dont worry about it" she poked the number on his jacket chest "095"
"its sirius... i dont understand the numbers... beit u dont understand any of this."
"i havent a clue either..." she looked around at all the people who looked confused and were huddled together asking eachother what the hell is happening. "i thought we were winning money?"
"same.." he replied shortly catching his breathe from all the running hed done.
"sirius. thats a pretty name. its a moon isnt it?" she met his eye and smiled again. 'Christ she was quite pretty.' he thought. shame hell never get to get to know her..
"its a star.."
"badass!" she cheered getting some looks from other random people who were almost as if saying 'how can she be so cheery?' "im mary. how boring is that. ugh."
"mary. thats pretty actually.. suits you" he smiled following her reassuring grin.
"well dont you just know what to say Sirius.."
they both smiled at each other then stuck together looking for both regulus and marlene now. often glancing while the other wasnt looking. 'what an odd feeling' sirius thought to himself as he saw Marys determined expression from the side.
9:11am
this marlene person had been found. well she found mary. mary was still close to sirius for some reason they were friends now. marlene squeaked from across the room as her eyes landed on mary. "Maz!"
marlene jumped up and sprinted grabbing marlene in a tight embrace and pulled away a but. a suspicious look on sirius "You! ger'away from her! bloody pedo!"
"marls!" mary swatted her hand "this is sirius! hes my friend! weve been looking for you aswell as his brother!"
"friend? friend you just met in this- this-" she could seem to find the words "dysfunctional fuckery!"
sirius scoffed with laughter. but mary looked fine now and he gave her a little warm smile then took off looking for regulus again.
9:16
"fucking hell! cmon where the hell are you?!" sirius chunterd to himself looking around. just then his eyes landed on a figure in the same white tracksuit. facing the other side but curled up and rocking near one of the bedframes. sirius' eyes widened and he immediately rushed over to this person. once close he grabbed the person's shoulders and faced them. it was regulus. jesus 20 years old and he was still a sensitive prat. he was crying and hyperventilating. but he suddenly stopped when he faced sirius his glossy eyes widened and his arms wrapped around sirius neck, sirius pulled his brother to his feet. but regulus wouldn't budge he was crying on his brother shoulder.
"calm down reggie mate.." he patted regulus' back comfortingly
regulus pulled himself back. he let out a tearful chuckle "i told you we were going to be abducted!"
