Hi, it's James. James Potter.

who am I - year 1

"Are you alive?"

"Uhhh, kind of."

"Are you dead?"

"Yes, I'd say so."

"Oh, I know, are you Headless Nick?"

"Nope."

"Then the bloody baron?"

"Yes.", James agreed.

They were playing Who am I, but both were growing really bored of it.

Dominique slumped back against the wall: "That was the hundredth round for sure!"

"I know. We can play Rock Scissors Paper again."

"No, please, you won 235 to 189, I think I have enough."

"Then I can't help you.", James leaned back against the wall, too, and closed his eyes.

They were now already a day here, this morning they had gotten one bottle of water and two slices of bread again.

Dolohov had told them while grinning maniacally that she'd get her father back today.

Once he'd arrive here in the evening, she'd apparate them away and let them go.

Maybe, she added.

"What time do you think it is?", Dominique sighed.

"Maybe two or three pm? I don't know, it's hard to keep track of time."

"So only about three to four hours 'til evening and we will be free."

"Hopefully."

Dominique stared angrily at James: "We are going to get out of here."

"Hopefully."

Dominique hit him with her foot, it was the best she could do without standing up.

James hit her back, and now the best foot fight was in progress, until both lay laughing on the floor.

Some hours later, none of them could say how many it were, but it was getting dark outside, they lay on their backs on the floor and stared at the ceiling.

They lay very close together, it was pretty cold in here, trying to keep each other warm.

Suddenly they could hear someone calling outside, but couldn't quite make out what.

They didn't care, they supposed it was only someone passing, maybe children.

Then they heard explosion and crashing sounds that seemed to be in the house, and both James and Dominique shot up straight.

"What's that?", Dominique asked warily.

"Dunno.", James answered, listening intensely.

Then the noise stopped.

After a few seconds listening, they could hear someone call: "James? Mini?"

"That's not your Dad, is it?", Dominique said wide-eyed.

"James! Mini!"

"It is!", James called out and jumped up.

"DAD! WE'RE IN HERE! DAAAD!", he yelled and banged on the door.

"Where?", they could hear Harry call distinctively.

"IN HERE!", James and Dominique shouted at once.

Half a minute later of calling, they finally heard footsteps running towards them.

"Dad! Here we are!", James called out relieved.

The doorknob rattled, but it didn't open until they heard Harry mutter: "Alohomora."
