A/N: This seemed like a good follow-up for The Acquisition of Prof. R. J. Lupin. It isn't necessary to read that first, but it is advised, since otherwise you'll be confused about why random HP characters are wandering about the real world.

"So, let me get this straight, Mr. Potter," said the Chief of Police in Hartford, CT, "You have no training from a Police Academy, and your secondary education comes from a school that exists in the mind of JK Rowling, and you're looking for a job here, as a cop?"

"Basically," James replied.

"Are you fuckling serious?!"

"No, sir, I believe Sirius is straight, and I think my wife would get jealous of him."

"You must be delusional!"

"I don't think I am, unless you don't exist."

"Well, I do, dammit! Do you honestly think you are a fictitious character thought up by JK Rowling?"

"Yes, because I am."

"That is it! I am calling the hospital; you are clearly psychotic and need to be taken away immediately!"

"Alright," said James, "I don't mind, seeing as how you won't be able to prove anything."

"What makes you so sure?"

"You'll see."

(A few minutes later; when the medics arrive.)

"Sir, you called to say that there was a delusional man in your office?"

"He-he...He was right there. Now... N-now he's... gone."

"Alright, sir, why don't you come with us?"

A/N: This is the first in a series of one-shots based on the aforementioned story about the after effects of the characters' escape. Most will be short and silly. I might put them all in one story... shrug We'll see.
