Who: Harry Potter & Hermione Granger
When: November 26, 2010
Where: Lawrence, Kansas: Mall then the street
What: Harry has finally defeated Voldemort...only to be transported to a crowded American mall on Black Friday.
Ratings: PG

Adrenaline still pumped through his veins, even though the war was over and Voldemort was dead. It was hard to get his heart to stop racing because he had spent the better part of the last year on high alert and even if his mind knew he could finally relax, his body wouldn't cooperate. The only thing that Harry wanted to do now was find a bed and fall asleep for a few days, if not longer. Breathing heavily a few times in an attempt to calm himself down long enough so he could drag himself up to Gryffindor Tower, he closed his eyes. When he found a sense of peace that he hadn't felt in a long time, he reopened them only to find himself in middle of a crowded shopping centre.

"What?" Startled, he blinked rapidly to make sure he wasn't hallucinating. When the scenery didn't change back to Dumbledore's office, he pinched himself. "Ow!" Now knowing that he wasn't dreaming and not sure how he had arrived at this shopping centre, he briefly entertained the thought that he had somehow Apparated. However, his musings were cut short when a little girl, who had been shopping with her mother, opened her mouth and pointed directly at Harry. "IT'S HARRY POTTER!" There was a split second of silence that followed her declaration, before noise seemed to burst from all around Harry and people started to mob him. They grabbed at his sleeves and shirt, tugging to get him to look this way or that.

"Mr. Radcliffe, can I have your autograph?"

"Omg I can't believe Harry Potter came to our mall!"

"MOM. GET A PICTURE OF ME AND DANIEL, OKAY?"

And so they carried on. Harry, unfortunately unaware of what was going on, did the only thing he could do in front of all these Muggles.

He ran.

Harry didn't stop running until he was a few streets away and when he was sure he had lost the last of the mob. Bent nearly in half at the waist as he clutched his side, he panted as he tried to catch his breath. Once he was more steadily breathing, he looked around to see where he was and found himself in front of some kind of electronics store. And on the window of the store was a poster.

A poster of him.

He blinked once, rounded the corner into an alley, and then tried to Disapparate. And completely failed to get to Hogsmeade, which had been his intention.

"Is it Viktor?" Harry asked because even through time travelling hadn't fazed him much, the thought of being in a world without Hogwarts, without the Burrow, and without all the people they knew was harder to swallow. He knew she said he couldn't go home, but he hadn't realized that she meant it was because their world didn't exist here. "I...this is so confusing." He wanted to tell her that this was all wrong, that she was the one that was suppose to be with Ron, not someone else, but one look at her face and he knew that even though he was feeling pain, she wasn't happy with how things had turned out either. After seven years of being friends with a person, you learned how to tell these things. He simply wrapped an arm around her shoulders and rested his head on top of hers.

For now, he would drop the subject.

"It's not your fault," he said, sighing as he closed his eyes briefly. He felt too old right then, too weary and tired argue against anything now. So he went into his default survivalist mode. It kept him alive this long, he hoped it could do it until he understood what was going on. "You're right to tell me all that. I need to know what's going on. Are we in any danger right now?" Demons and Lucifier...at least he understood Voldemort. He had no idea what was he getting into now.

"No," she responded straight away, laughing softly. "No, you don't know him. His name is Adam. He's...Lovely. Really lovely."

She could feel her cheeks going red. She cared a lot for Adam and whenever she thought on her feelings for Ron she felt guilty. Adam deserved a girl who had a heart that was 100 per cent his. And she would always have a part belonging to Ron. She bit her lip when he said he was confused, nuzzling her head against him. But then she was holding her back and she settled easily against him.

"We're always in danger. I have an amulet that can help protect me against possessions, you'll get one when we go to the complex. And you can be taught everything you need to defend yourself against these things. Don't worry, I'll make sure you settle well and learn everything you need to know."

He didn't like the thought of this Adam already, but that was simply on principle. Seven years and then there was Adam. He knew he should be happy for her, that she seemed to like this bloke, but the best he could manage was a small smile that wasn't entirely sincere at the thought of Adam. And his bias clearly showed on his face, even if he didn't vocalize it. "I'm...glad you think he's lovely. I'm sure he's lovely." Lovely. Sure. That's what Harry thought he was. What kind of stupid name was Adam? Ron was a better name, clearly. Even though he was feeling petty, it wasn't grief or pain. That was always good.

His smile became much more genuine, when she explained how much danger they were in. Sure, it wasn't good what he was hearing, but it was so Hermione to take charge and be prepared. At least that didn't change. "I'm glad I never have to worry when you're around. Clearly you know what to do." He was content to just sit there and be comforted by her warm presence, even if everything was just so wrong, but he knew it would be wiser to get up and start moving.

Harry had experienced being possessed before. He had no desire of wanting a repeat experience.

She could see it on the look of his face. He would be happy for her, but he wouldn't really feel it. She read the books, she knew how much he approved of her being with Ron. But he was, of course, too sweet to mention his dislike of Adam despite not knowing him. "He is lovely. I can be myself with him, he makes me laugh and...well he's just brilliant."

He made her feel like a woman, was what she was going to say, but didn't really think it something she could say to Harry. Ron always was someone that she loved but he had seen her at her best and worst, when she was eleven years old. And she wondered if there was ever a time they wouldn't be awkward with each other.

"I know as much as I can. Adam and his family grew up in this world, his family hunt these things. I've found out everything I can through them and through the things that the people in the complex teach us. I'll tell you everything I know but you really must learn everything. Everything is important."

He knew she was trying to convince him of how great Adam was, even if he hadn't explicitly said anything against him yet. As easily as he could read her, she could read him. It made him smile. "Clearly Adam is brilliant. You wouldn't have given him a second glance otherwise." Obviously Harry didn't think that she should have given him that second glance anyway, but he could acknowledge the fact that she wouldn't be with a complete toad. Cormac excluded, but he didn't really count anyway.

Harry finally patted her shoulder and stood up after disentangling himself from her reluctantly. "I guess we should get going then. Obviously I have a lot to learn." It was the last thing he wanted to do, to get involved in another war, but he would learn what was going on first, before he made any judgment calls. But chances were if Hermione and Ron were here, then he would be sticking around as well. As sick of fighting as he was, he loved them too much to leave them to it themselves. He could do this, for them. Even if they were being stupid and weren't together.

Brushing off any dirt on his jeans that he might have picked up sitting down in an alleyway, Harry offered Hermione a hand. As soon as she took it, he pulled her into a fierce hug. "Regardless of everything else, I'm glad you're here with me."

"I'd love for you to meet him. I'm sure you would get along."

She hoped they would. Ron wasn't so fond of him as far as she could tell, and it made things worse because she really needed her friends to like the man she was with. But it was more so with Harry. He was her best friend, her brother in everything but blood. And she needed him to like Adam as much as he could.

She watched him stand and grinned at that. Yes, he did have a lot to learn and she was happy that he seemed willing to do so. She would have to force him otherwise. She took his hand and laughed straight away when she found herself in his arms again.

"So am I. I've missed you so much."

"Well, let's just get back to this complex of yours first, yes?" He asked, trying to dodge agreeing to meet anyone until he had a chance to speak to Ron and see how serious this marriage of his was. Harry had never seen himself as someone that meddled with people's personal lives, though he managed to do that entirely by accident anyway sometimes, but he would make an exception just this once. His friends obviously needed him to be the smart one for once. Hermione obviously had feelings for Ron, regardless of their current relationship statuses and he had no doubt that his red headed best friend was still in love with Hermione. Maybe it was selfish of him, but he didn't care. He would make them see reason.

He couldn't exactly say that he missed her when he had seen her not too less than a few hours ago, but he clung to her because he needed someone familiar, someone he loved, to make sue he didn't break down. And she must have clung to him because it seemed like she hadn't seen him in awhile. He just nodded and hugged her until they were ready to go.

"Come on, let's go before that mob finds us," he finally said, pulling away only to clasp hands with her. "You think you can do something about my face?" Harry asked, gesturing to his face. It was covered in dry blood and cuts, but he didn't mean for her to heal it. "I don't want to be recognized again...No stinging hexes please!" He was quick to add.

And there was the Harry who often got caught between her and Ron. She nodded a little, at least that was something. She just hoped he wouldn't be too biased when it came to Adam. But Harry knew her to well, he could read everything she done even if it was just in her eyes. And he would probably know how she felt about this situation, no matter her feelings for Adam.

She didn't want to stay away from him so welcomed the hand hold, holding tight. She raised her eyebrow at his request, readying her wand to do what she could to heal it. But then he mentioned stinging hexes. She remembered reading that as well as seeing it in the film and she gave him an awkward smile.

"I...read that I done that. Sorry, I'm sure it seemed like the best I could do." Biting her lip, she tilted her head before pointing her wand at his face. His hair grew until it was similar to the length she had seen it during their fourth year, his face got a little wider and his lips poutier. "Simple transfiguaration charm. It will last until I remove it. Shouldn't be as sore as a stinging hex but it nearly does the same result."

He would try to get along with this Adam of hers, but with all the preconceptions he had of who Ron and Hermione were, he didn't expect anything short of disaster happening. He wouldn't set out to be a jerk, but who knew? Things happened and Harry had a lot of character flaws with tunnel vision perspective when it came to certain things. He had no doubt that this would get messy, but he didn't need to worry about that now.

"I trusted you then and I trust you now," Harry said firmly, squeezing her hand before he squeezed his eyes shut. "Okay, I'm ready." He felt the weird, dull pain that came with the transformation and after a moment, it stopped. When he opened his eyes again, he could see that his glasses had been knocked askew when his face had been widened. He pulled them off and tucked them into his jeans, until he was back to normal. It would probably be better if he had them off anyway, what with that being one less thing for him to be recognized by.

Running his hand through his hair, he attempted a grin and felt his mouth stretch strangely. "How do I look?" If someone really looked, he still looked like himself, but he looked different enough that a quick glance didn't reveal his true identity...or the identity that everyone thought was his.

It meant a lot that he trusted her, even though she knew he always did trust her. She never doubted his trust and she hoped he never doubted the trust she had in him. She loved him, more than she loved many, and with that love came a firm belief in his ability to keep her safe and happy. And trust came with ease after that.

She grinned at his question, laughing a little. It was strange to see him so different but she still saw Harry in there. Taking his hand, she put her wand back in her pocket before squeezing his fingers gently.

"You look fine. Keep a hold of my hand, I'll make sure you get there okay. Hopefully after we get out of the mall we can change you back. But until then, I know how awful that vision of yours is, so let me be your eyes."

No matter what they went through and how many fallouts that occurred between the three of them, Harry knew he could and would trust Ron and Hermione with his life. For as long as they existed, that would never change. It was a comfort in a strange new world to hear those reassuring words from Hermione and he gave her a grin in return.

"I trust you," he simply said, squeezing back and letting her lead them away. In the end, the only thing that he could do was put his faith in her once more and know that everything would work out in its own way.

She smiled and put her hood up before starting to lead him out. She was lucky, it seemed quiet for now, and she kept walking, keeping her eyes on the look out for for any of the mob who had been after Harry. Once they were out the mall and in he more calm street, she pulled him to the side. After all, she rarely had problems walking around the street. Looking back to Harry, she gave him a smile.

"Do you want to stay like this until we get to the complex or will I change you back now?"

She didn't mind either way.

"I reckon we shouldn't risk it. Now that I know that this face can incite riots, we ought to play it safer rather than sorry," Harry said, attempting a grin. It was rather ghastly, but it was an attempt at levity. He needed some now, before he went mental and started to hex everything in sight.

He was almost certain this was what a breakdown felt like. But because he was Harry, he internalized it. It might not happen yet, but it would happen and it would happen in spectacular fashion.

His past mental breakdowns guaranteed that.

"If you're sure."

She couldn't help but laugh at the grin, her hand holding his tightly as she began to walk again. It wouldn't be long until she got back to the complex and she would get in touch with the people at work, saying that she had an emergency and wouldn't make it back. She had a feeling they would assume that anyway after she ran out with the information she gave them.

Soon they reached the complex and before walking in, she faced him again and grinned before pointing her wand at him. Soon he was back to normal. "There. Much better. We're here."

The first thing he did when the modifications were lifted from his face, was to feel his face to make sure it was back to normal. He flinched when he pressed down too hard on some scratches, but he felt normal to his own touch and he had enough faith in Hermione's magical abilities to know that he looked normal again as well.

The second thing he did was look around the building they were in. It was a normal lobby as far as he could tell. He took a moment to find the exits, before he turned back to Hermione.

"So what now?"

"We just need to get your room sorted, and there are things that you are given on arrival to help get you started."

It didn't take long for all of that to happen, and Hermione found it hard to pull her hand from Harry's the entire time. She didn't want to be away from him just yet, not after she managed to get him here. She was almost worried that he would disappear again. Once she had the keys for his room, she tugged his hand over to the elevator.

"It should be nice enough, just need to make it more of a personal home for yourself."
