Potters in America

Disclaimer: I don't own pjo. I wanna but alas not all dreams can come true. ____________________________________________________________

The Potters found America quite fascinating. Nothing like the muggle cities of London or so, but quite different. A lot more cars for one and high buildings looking like skyscrapers that could reach the clouds. The parents and kids alike were impressed but as it comes with travelling they were also very confused.

They kept wandering the streets trying to find a restaurant which felt more like trying to find a cup in a maze, which Harry has done so trust him when he says it's hard. He thought about asking some locals but they didn't seem too friendly. One had shoved right past them and another had shut his taxi door on Harry. Wanting to mind their own businesses and not draw attention, the Potters just kept walking.

"Mum I'm hungry" Lily cried tugging on her mother's leg.

"I know sweetie, as soon as we find a place to eat we'll order alright" she replied. Ginny gave Harry a look, they needed to get things sorted, the kids were starving. Harry looked around once more trying to make sense of the place, he saw a small family walking on the street a couple yards away from them. Third time's the charm though Harry as he sighed and walked over.

He cleared his throat. "Excuse me".

The family turned around. For a second Harry thought he had a long lost twin. This guy looked almost exactly like him with his hair and eyes but he pushed those thoughts aside as he realised the man was waiting for him to speak.

"Uhm. Do you lot know any places to eat?" he asked.

"Are you tourists?" the man asked.

Harry thought for a second before replying "um. Somethin' like that"

The man gave a kind smile "there are plenty of places to eat here. We're actually heading to one if you'd like to join us".

Harry was more than happy to take the offer. So with that the Potters made their way through mazy New York with the family of strangers.

They arrived at what looked like a chain fast food restaurant that Harry had seen once as a kid. They all queued up in the line to order. When they reached the front the cashier asked "What would you like to order."

"A happy meal, 3 cheese burgers, chicken nuggets and a coke please" The lady ordered.

"Actually make that 2 happy meals," the man quickly said, smiling.

"All right then card or cash" the cashier asked. The man handed her what looked like a plastic card. While scanning she went ahead and asked the Potters what they wanted too. Of course they had no idea what was what and Harry gave a clueless look to the man.

He chuckled and said "um. 4 burgers, 2 happy meals and fries should be good." Harry took out the muggle money and handed it to the cashier to pay. But she frowned and returned it back to him.

"These are in pounds , we can only take dollars here" she replied. Harry face palmed and sighed frustratedly. "We forgot to exchange the money," he said pointlessly to Ginny.

"It's alright, just put it on our card" the woman replied before either of them could say anything. The cashier did so and handed them their card and a piece of paper and everyone took a seat.

"You didn't have to do that," Ginny said embarrassedly.

"It's no big deal," the man smiled. "Though after all that we still haven't got your name".

"I'm Harry Potter," Harry replied.

"Ginny potter, and this is James and Albus" Ginny said next.
