"cuanto por el agua?" asked the tall raven haired young adult with the equally tall but lanky redhead at his left and the Bushy haired Brunette. Ron Wesley Was looking the exchange between his friend and the old lady who looked at him like he was a exotic creature, Hermione for her part was waiting to see if his friend crash course in Spanish was working.

"ahí de 10, de 15 y de 25 patrón", said the old woman who then added, "tengo de horchata, tamarindo, Jamaica, Limón, Naranja y Toronja".

"I…Yo quiero…tres de…15"he finished looking at his friend if he said it correctly, the nod of the White haired bushy girl gave him the answer.

"de cual mijo?", the woman asked pointed with her finger the different colored waters.

"The white one", he said hopping that he chose wisely. For his part the redheaded boy was trying to keep together after this display. There could be heard a light 'bloody hell' that flew over the head of the old lady who was serving the water in plastic cups and was putting straws to them. After getting the water and paying with a pink bill with the portrait of a man. They left the car of the lady who gently pushed it to keep selling. A quick taste confirmed that the drink was good.

As far as they were concerned this quick trip to México was better than expected, the clime of the small town of Tepeaca was naturally template and it never got hotter than 26 Celsius. The vegetation was pleasant and this weekend was the small trading event in the outside of town where in the old distribution center was packed with second hand sellers and grocery traders. Harry saw also a couple of farm animals. Hermione informed him that after consulting with a person they told her that every weekend they open the place where they sell and used the old system of trading with goods instead of money. A cow for some goats or chickens, like in old times. As they walked harry got his attention in one small antiques merchant, the old coins, some old books that Hermione got really interested and harry stopped in a big box with photographs and post cards. Looking at the old photos, harry began to wonder the story behind those images, after he passed the photo of a girl coming out of a car he picked up a box with a titled at the front: "Naughty Halloween". With a smile he looked to see what his friends were doing. Hermione still was looking at the books and Ron was busy with some china that he sure was considering to the house (or a gift for Hermione).

Think safe, he began to look out of curiosity to the collection. The first post card of the collection depicted a nice looking meadow with the sun setting and the green borders had Scottish details, similar at the ones that he had seen in some kilts. He considered a nice detail to the first post card…immediately to see the next post card. It was a picture of a young lady with a wizard hat…it was the only thing she wore. It was an authentic one and Harry guessed that the photographer must have done the research. It was not an exaggerated one like the ones he saw in movies or cartoons of witches. But it was big enough to cover her face. The young woman was in the middle of a lake, the water elevated just so her modesty was barely covered, and one hand hovering over the water and her long hair barely provided a teasing for her bosom. After looking at the picture he turned to see if there was the name of the model. In the lower part it was writing: property of Victor Bellman Fernandez (must be the photographer). The name of the picture was close: A nice day to swim.

The photos ranged from the images of her playing: running jumping or dancing but with a forever constant…her face was always hided by the mask. Also the theme of Halloween was present, finally he saw the last photo where the 'witch" laid on a bed in cottage, the light of a fire let see for first time the full front of her and for first time her smile, but her eyes remained hidden witch he guessed still helped keep her identity in secret. He looked in the back and saw something that he had ignored at first: 50/50. So there was 50 pictures and this one was the final…so concentrated was that he never heard her friend.

"Blimey, who is that girl?",

Harry could not help but give a little gasp, standing so fast that he lost his balance and ended up falling to the ground he looked up to see Ron who was holding the table and openly laughing at him. Cursing openly he stood up and walked to his friend.

"god lord, Ron"

"Sorry lad, but you were so concentrated and…wow this girl", he then looked at the post cards with the images of the young woman, "who you think it is? She looks very athletic" he added looking the first image and pointing to her stomach which had muscle tone. Harry walked over to him wondering the same, who was this girl? Harry picked the box and searched for another clue, in the back of the box there was the year of publishing, 1955.

Wondering the pair heard Hermione approaching. Thinking fast Ron passed the box to harry who in turn tried to downplay…or would have worked if the seller wouldn't have just notice it.

"le gustan patron?" asked the guy with the palm hat and plain blue cotton shirt and gray pants looking at him and the failed attempt to hide the bow from her friend in the back. Sheepishly he tried to put them back in the box when the seller quickly added. "se las vendo a 350 la colección completa", he said smiling at him.

"No…yo solo veía"…hopping that was right.

"300…están buenas, my papá las tomo sabe" . he said still trying to get him to buy them, but the last bit got his attention.

"su Padre?". Harry asked pointing at the pictures.

"Si, mire (pulling out a photo album) el viajo pa Europa cuando estaba chavo y tomo varias fotos de muchachitas pa vender aquí, esa colección", he said pointing at the box, "la consiguió de una muchacha en…", the man scratched his head and paused trying to recall the place, the he added "here is the photo of him and the model" he said grabbing the box and searching inside, after he pulled a fake bottom he showed the trio the photograph. There it was a young man who smiled while at his right a young woman timidly smiled. Even with the fact that the picture was black and white, even with the detail that the woman was sated and he could not gauge her height very well, he recognized her hair in a bum, her glasses and the smile that he had seen sometimes…it was McGonagall.

"300?"

"si patron…300"

"tenga 500" harry said to the surprise of Ron and the consternation of Hermione, "pero, necesito la foto"

"no se preocupe joven, tengo copia de esta en casa".

He paid and keep the postcards secured…he will need to talk to McGonagall soon.
