Kenny Smith, a 50 year old mechanic, was driving home one night when he saw a car with a flat tire parked at the gas station. He pulled over in front of it and looked around. He couldn't see anyone around and there wasn't anything in walking distance, the closest thing would be Meadowshore. Meadowshore is the small town where Kenny lived and worked. He assumed whoever left the car probably ended up there so he hooked up the car to his pick up truck and drove home.

When he turned the light on in his garage he took a closer look at the car when he saw someone sleeping inside it. He didn't get a very good look but he definitely saw someone. He turned the light off and got back into his car and drove over to his friend, Susan Edwards. She was a 60 year old women that lived at and owned the bookshop up the road. He parked up front and knocked on the door quite loudly. He saw through the window her coming down the spiral staircase in her night gown and walking over to the door. She opened it was a slightly annoyed face. "Do you have any idea what time it is?" She asked furiously. "You woke up Rose."

"I'm awfully sorry, Sue. I did something bad. I-I mean I didn't mean to do it, b-but I-I did it," he stuttered. When he spoke it was slow and deep. It was also a bit childlike.

"What did you do?" Sue asked as she crossed her arms. He gestured for her to come with him outside and led her to the car. In the street lamp light they both saw the person laying in the back seat. It was a brunette female, looking to be in her early twenties.

"Oh, Kenny," Sue spoke, shaking her head. She stepped closer to the car to get a closer look. "She looks like she's breathing so that good but it looks like she hugging something." She took another step and gasped. "It's a child!"

"What do we do?" Kenny asked.

"Let's get them inside," she said. She opened the door and Kenny carefully picked up the child from the girls arms and gave him to Sue before picking up the girl. They carried them inside and laid them down on separate couches.

"What's going on?" Megan, Sue's daughter, asked as she came down the stairs with her 4 year old daughter Rose.

"I found the car parked at the abandoned gas station. I didn't know anyone was in it until I got back home." Kenny said.

"What were they doing there?" Megan asked.

"They had a flat. I assumed whoever left the car would've head to Meadowshore anyway, since it was the closest thing around," he answered.

"Wow, he's very handsome," Rose hummed as she was looking over the boy, who looked about her age. "He looks like Drake." Everyone laughed slightly.

"Shh, she's speaking," Sue hushed.

"H-Harry," she mumbled. "Where is he?" "Harry, where's Draco?" "Gone?" "He can't be gone." "Please, Harry, find him." "No. No, not Hugo, Scorpius." "Scorpius." She made a small movement as to try and hug something. When nothing was there she started to feel around as she continued to mumble the name. She suddenly jolted up, wide away. "Scorpius! Where's Scorpius? Where's my son?" She asked, not even asking or caring about where she was.

"Shh honey. He's fine. He's sleeping and being well taken care of," Sue hushed before gesturing over to where Rose was dreamingly staring at Scorpius.

"Where am I?" She asked tiredly as she rubbed her eyes.

"You're in Meadowshore, honey," Sue spoke. "Kenny here found you in your car on the side of the road. He didn't know you were in the car until he got up here."

"I'm really sorry," Kenny spoke.

"That's ok," she said.

"What's your name?" Meg asked.

"Hermione Granger," she said.

"And his name is Scorpius Granger?" Rose asked.

"Scorpius Malfoy," Hermione corrected.

"I'm Susan Edwards, but everyone calls me Sue," Sue spoke.

"I'm Megan Brown, but you can call me Meg, and this is my daughter Rose," Meg said.

"Hi," Rose smiled.

"Hello."

There was an awkward silence before Hermione realized something. She couldn't feel the force anymore. No pushing or nagging feeling at all, as if this was where she was meant to be. She looked around in shock.

"Are you alright?" Sue asked.

"Yes. Yes, it's just.. I can't feel it anymore," she mumbled.

"Feel what?" Meg asked.

"Ever since back home I've had this force kind of feeling, like something was pulling me somewhere. I followed it all the way out her, but I can't feel it anymore."

"Well maybe this is where you were to end up," Kenny said. "Except not a lot of people some by here."

"Well why don't you get some rest," Sue suggested.

"Oh, ok. Thank you," Hermione smiled before laying down and almost instantly falling asleep. Kenny went home and Sue, Meg, and Rose went back upstairs.
