Kennilworthy appeared outside his parents' house.
"They haven't seen you in two months, they'll understand." Kennilworthy said to himself walking up to the door.
He knocked on the door and heard running.
His mother answered the door in shock and immediately hugged him.
"I've only been gone two months." Kennilworthy chucking.
His mother was in tears.
"Come inside, someone might hear us." Arabella said letting him inside.
"Why are you so sad, I haven't been gone that long." Kennilworthy asked.
"Its been two years Ken, its 1949." his mother said sitting down at the table.
"What do you mean, I said London 1947, something must be wrong with the snitch." Kennilworthy said sitting down taking out his snitch.
Kennilworthy looked up at Arabella.
"Where's father?" Kennilworthy said looking around.
"He's at the ministry working, its best if you don't see him." Arabella said.
Kennilworthy looked at her.
"Did he do something, did he say something to the ministry?" Kennilworthy asked.
"No, the ministry came to us, they questioned us about you and where you've been." Arabella said. "Your father and I didn't give any information so they assumed you must've been still traveling."
"How long ago was this?" Kennilworthy asked. "Because I had a hearing in 1947, but I was innocent."
"Back in 1948, when Wilhelmia Tuff was selected new Minister of Magic." Arabella said. "They have been more on your case than Minister Moon, she believed he was a lousy minister." Arabella said.
"Mum I need to visit Orion to fix my snitch, where does he live?" Kennilworthy asked.
"He lives down closer to the Ministry, that's all he told me when he got married." Arabella said. "He finished auror training a year ago."
"Its going to be hard finding him, but every bit of information counts." Kennilworthy said getting up. "Thanks mum, I'll visit again soon." he said hugging her and running to the door.
Arabella watched as he ran out the door down the street going closer to the Ministry.
Once Kennilworthy got to the phone box that lead to the Ministry he looked around to see if he noticed anyone.
He looked over and saw Veronica with a baby carriage, he ran up to her and asked about Orion.
"Hey, I don't know if you still talk to Orion, but do you happen to know where he is?" Kennilworthy asked.
"We got married last year, he is off work today." Veronica smiled. "You can come over to see him if you like."
"Perfect." Kennilworthy said following Veronica down the street to an apartment complex.
"There are many wizarding families here, but you will know if they aren't magic." Veronica whispered as they passed a muggle family waving towards her.
Veronica picked up the baby and moved the carriage to a lot in the lobby with other carriages.
"This way." she said walking upstairs.
At the fourth floor she turned down a hallway and walked up to the second door.
She unlocked the door and walked in.
"I'm back from the walk." Veronica said putting the baby down on the rug. "Look who was in the streets."
Orion looked from the couch and placed down his Daily Prophet.
"Merlin's beard Ken its been two years." he said walking up to Kennilworthy. "Where'd you get yourself stuck to?"
"Snitch is broke, tried to go back to 47' but instead took me two years ahead." Kennilworthy said talking out the snitch.
"I got you covered, come on." Orion sat gesturing to the kitchen table.
The two sat at the table as Veronica went into the kitchen to make them tea.
"Married Veronica I see." Kennilworthy said looking at Orion. "When did this happen?" he smirked.
"We were dating a few months before I purposed at the end of 47'." Orion said examining the snitch. "Had Venus, our daughter, mid-48'."
Veronica brought the tea to the men then went to play with Venus in the family room.
"You should settle down, find a job at the Ministry." Orion said smiling at Veronica.
"I still have plenty of notes to get before I publish my book." Kennilworthy said taking a sip of his tea. "But I did meet someone, nothing more than a friend however."
"Oh now you got to tell me this." Orion smirked.
"She was from France 1981, apparently England just finished a wizarding war, can't say much but I took her to the future, not very pleasant I should say, chaos." Kennilworthy said.
"What happened with her?" Orion asked sipping his tea.
"It was too much for her, she stayed back in 1981, it was for the best." Kennilworthy said.
"You'll find someone." Orion said. "If you quit all this." he laughed.
"I don't have time for relationships." Kennilworthy laughed. "Anyways, I suggest more jinxes." he said quickly changing the subject.
"You should put better legillimens on it since its not a life form." Orion said taking his wand out.
"You know legillimency?" Kennilworthy said looking at him.
"No, but its worth a shot." he chuckled. "I attempted to take it after graduating in auror training."
"I won't mind testing a legillimency snitch casted by an auror with no experience of legillimency." Kennilworthy laughed.
Orion pointed his wand at the snitch.
"Legillimens." he said as the snitch turned from gold to silver then back to gold.
They both looked at it for a few seconds before Kennilworthy took the snitch.
"I'll try it out quickly." he said.
"What if it doesn't work." Orion asked.
"Then take this." Kennilworthy said putting his notebook on the table. "If I come back, I'll take it back but if I don't, bring it to the Ministry and publish it under my name." he said.
"You better come back." Orion said picking up the notebook.
"Europe, 1949." he said as he disappeared.
He appeared in an office and turned around to see a woman looking at him hiding papers.
"Hello." he said and he disappeared back to Orion's apartment.
"Good you came back." Orion said relieved handing his notebook back to him. "So where'd you go?" he asked.
"I don't know, somewhere in Europe." Kennilworthy said putting his notebook back in his coat. "Appeared in an office, I think I'm going to go back to investigate more there, see which country that was so I could get quidditch knowledge." he said holding the snitch out.
"Thanks Ken, hope you find what you're looking for." Orion said smiling.
"Good luck with your family Orion, I'm sure I'll see you again eventually when I'm done traveling." he said.
"Europe, 1949." he said disappearing.
He appeared in an office again, he turned around hoping to still be in the same office.
Once he turned around he saw the woman again hiding all her papers, shoving them into a brief case.
He looked at her confused and smiled.
"Hello again."
