A tall man was nodding off in the passenger seat of an impala. Before his sleepy eyes, three kids appeared. He blinked.
"Dean!"
"Huh?" Dean sat up and yawned. "What's wrong, Sam?"
Sam nodded at the kids.
"We already have a case, remember?" Dean groaned.
But Sam had already left the car, forcing Dean to accompany him.
Two teenage boys and a girl stood in the middle of the road, arguing.
"Oh, Ron, I told you you were turning it the wrong way!" The girl was saying. She had bushy brown hair, exasperated brown eyes, and very expressive eyebrows. Ron, looking sheepish, turned a shade of red lighter than his hair.
"Honestly, Ron, next time-"
"Shut up a minute, Hermione-" the third one, Harry, said, pushing his messy black hair from his glasses and watching the two men approach them.
"Great. Muggles," Hermione's mood was not improved.
"Hey, can we help you with anything?" Sam asked. He casually pushed his shaggy brown hair from his eyes and looked at them with concern.
Hermione blushed. "Well-"
"I'm Sam, by the way. This is my brother, Dean." Dean gave them a quick smile before returning to glowering at the trees surrounding the road.
"I'm Hermione, this is Ron and Harry."
Sam and Dean exchanged looks. Both thinking the same thing: that explains the robes.
"D'you mind telling us where we are?"
"Aurora, Illinois," Dean said, and added in answer to their questioning looks, "America!"
But how is that possible? Hermione thought, the time-turner can't change where you are-
"What year is it?" She asked.
"Why? You LARPers haven't been messing with time, have you?" Dean asked.
"It's 2013," Sam interrupted. "Anyone hungry? We can discuss all this later."
"So, they just appeared out of nowhere?" Dean asked Sam, cocking an eyebrow and glancing at the three kids sitting across the restaurant table from them.
"Yes, we did," Hermione said, answering for Sam. "With a time-turner."
"You mean like the thing they used in Harry Potter?" Sam asked.
"Look, I get that you're big fans and all, but could you drop the LARPing and the accent?" Dean said. "In case you hadn't noticed, this situation is sort of serious."
"We're not a fan club- we're his friends, go it, mate?" Ron said angrily.
Dean rolled his eyes. "Oh, so now you're pirates, too."
"Sam," Hermione said before Ron could retort. "What did you mean when you said that the time-turner was used in Harry Potter?"
"I have a theory," Said a voice behind them. The five of them turned to see a curly dark haired man in a dark trenchcoat with light blue eyes watching them from a booth behind them. He was smiling.
