I Don't Own How I Met Your Mother Though I Like To Pretend Otherwise.

Ted was sitting alone at McLaren's. All day he had been pretending how better he was now since when Stella had left him at the Altar. Fact was, he wasn't. He was devastated, shattered inside. All his adult life had been gone waiting for the perfect wedding day. Now it had vanished leaving behind nothing but chill in his life. It was already past 1:00 when 3 kids around 17 years entered the Bar and sat doen in a booth adjoining Ted's. The girl with the bushy hair ordered Beer. A pair of burly workmen entered behind them and squeezed in the next booth. Ted however, lost in deep thoughts neither heard nor saw these new arrivals.

"God, that's revolting" the red-haired boy said after a sip of the Beer. Wendy the Waitress had heard; she shot him a dirty look. She went over to the next booth where the larger of the two workmen, who was blond and quite huge waved Wendy away. She stared affronted.

"Lets get going then, I don't want to drink this muck." Said the red-haired boy "Hermione, have you got Muggle money to pay for this?"

Hermione, apparently wasn't paying attention. She was staring at Ted. "Poor Guy. He needs help. He just got left at the altar."

"How do you know?" The red-haired boy demanded.

"Legitimacy, Ron!"

"What! Why?" Ron asked. "He's cute" Hermione replied and giggled. Ron went red. Just then, the two burly workmen advanced the teens and took out long sticks.

"Stupefy" shouted the third kid. "Expulso!" Bellowed the burly workman. Something strange was going on. Jets of lights were flying everywhere. Wendy was scared. Ted however still did not notice. After a series of violence the workmen fell unconscious on the ground. The kids sent a light to Wendy too and she fell asleep. The black haired boy and the girl started cleaning up. Just as 'Ron' was about to move his wand pointed at Ted, the girl stoped him. "He didn't see anything."

Ted looked startled. A pretty girl was standing in front of him. She wore lace, probably had arrived from a wedding. Ted hated weddings. The girl thrust a stopwatch-kind-of-thing and a booklet in his hand and then stormed off. Ted looked at the book surprised. It's title was, "Time-Turner and safe use for all; A secret time machine."

I know It had so much of Harry Potter, I'm sorry for that. It is going to be all HIMYM in the next chapter, I swear. This might be a two-shot or three-shot, depends on how the next chapter goes. Please don't alert without leaving a review !
