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.

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."
