WHO Dean Thomas, Ginny Weasley, and Megan Jones WHEN 13 July 2013; around noon WHERE Cuiabá, Brazil. WHY they're finding their way back to England. RATING pg-13 STATUS closed, complete
A week had passed since they discovered that they were in a different country. They didn't know how they got there, but they intended on finding out. Dean was still under the impression that they could apparate so he spent most of his time talking to the people in the village, hoping to get some answers. Unfortunately they weren't of much help considering they were only muggles and nobody knew anything about magic. Dean sighed and thought of his mother. She was a muggle too, but she was well aware of what magic was all about. When he first received his letter to attend Hogwarts, she was ecstatic and insisted on helping him get everything he needed for school. He was glad they had stumbled across a relatively nice village. The people in the village gave them food, clothes and places to stay. They had to sleep in different people's houses, of course, but they reunited in the morning to talk. On this particular day, Dean was hell bent on finding a way back to England. He didn't care if he had to row there in a small row boat, but he would find a way.
He called a meeting for the three of them and when Ginny and Megan joined him he said, "We need to leave immediately. During our time here we've discovered that we're no longer in our own time. This could be extremely dangerous, considering we left our loved ones unattended back in our own time. Who knows what kind of things will happen during our absence? I say we make a break for it. My first intent was to sneak onto a boat, but that's too much of a hike from here to the coast. Not only that but it would take forever to get us back to England. I managed to steal some guy's car keys and I happen to know where he parks his car so it shouldn't be a problem locating it. I'm driving us to the airport. I just hope they accept the money I have on me. Are you girls ready to go home?"
