June 21, 2018/July 1 1991
Shlomo's point of view
I don't know how my mother could sleep when there's a whole house to explore. Tatti and I looked around eagerly. I had already used the bathroom near my bedroom. The playroom looked neat. I saw both of my monopoly games, uno cards, and several decks of cards. There were some other games too, but those aren't important. The computer was up against a wall, and all of Yisrael's books took up another wall. The kid size picnic table that we normally have near the living room was in this room instead. I saw all of Yisrael's toys and my nerf basketball and hoop, but I didn't see my real basketball, football, baseball, soccer ball, or mitts. I wondered what happened to them. The last room we checked was completely empty.
"We should make this Yisrael's room," I suggested, thinking about finally having my own room.
"We would have to lock him in," Tatti said. "Mommy won't agree."
I looked at the fireplace. There was a box of matches and a container labeled floo powder.
"Either way, this room is too dangerous," I pointed out.
"We could move the matches and whatever that powder is," Tatti offered.
"Yisrael could still bang his head on the fireplace," I told him.
"Let's see what's downstairs," Tatti suggested.
There was a hallway downstairs that led to the front door. The bathroom was near the door. The room on the other side of the stairs is a kitchen. It had the same table, chairs, counters, and stove as our kitchen at home, but it was square instead of rectangle.
The next room was the dining room. It had our table and chairs and the bookcase, but the bookcase was a lot neater and more organized. It took me a few minutes to realize that there were only sefarim (Hebrew books) in this bookcase.
The room between the dining room and the door turned out to be the living room. It had our couch, recliner, and fixed version of the recliner in my bedroom. It also had another bookcase, this time with all our English books.
"It looks like I have lots of reading to do," I said, noticing titles I never saw before.
"We didn't come all the way to wherever we are just to read," Tatti told me.
"How's the weather today?" I asked him. "I don't know how long we're staying here, but if it's hot or rainy, I could stay in with books."
Tatti looked at his phone.
"It has two different things for weather," Tatti said. "One is Surrey and one is Radlett."
"Where is that?" I asked. "Is that in New York, New Jersey, Maryland or Florida?"
Those are the only states I went to as I have relatives in all those states.
"According to my phone, they're both in England," Tatti said. "I went to England when I was a kid to visit my great grandmother. She used to live in London. Savta used to visit her every summer, and one summer, we all went."
"Were you in Surrey or Radlett?" I asked.
"I was in London," Tatti answered. "There's a lot to see in London."
"Is there anything to see here?" I asked.
"I don't know where we are," Tatti explained. "Without knowing where we are, there's no way of knowing what to do."
"Let me see," I said, putting out my hand for the phone.
"It's July 1, 1991 according to the phone," I pointed out.
"My phone must be malfunctioning," Tatti reasoned.
"I'll check the date on the computer," I said, going back upstairs.
The computer agreed with the phone about the date, however, the 2018 calendar was still on the desk. There was also a note on the desk that I missed before. I read it aloud.
"Dear Fanfiction writer,
Welcome to England! You and your family have been chosen to help Harry Potter defeat Voldermort without as many deaths. As you already put each of your kids in a story, (Ari Goldstein is based on Shlomo in The True Story of Anthony Goldstein, while Jacob Frank is based on Yisrael in The Autistic Wizard,) your kids will take on those characters. If you look in the desk drawer, you will see that everyone's birth certificate has been modified. Your new last name is Goldstein. Shlomo's legal name is Anthony Shlomo Goldstein while Yisrael is Jacob Yisrael Goldstein. It is 1, July 1991 and you are currently in England. You were put into the house next door to the Dursleys at 3 Privet Drive in Surrey. This way, Shlomo could meet Harry before school starts, and Dovid could work for Vernon at Grunnings. He will be starting his new job next Monday.
However, I am aware that you need a religious community in order to keep your religious laws. I am also aware that you need a school that caters towards children with autism in order for Yisrael to attend school. While in 2018, there are schools for autism in Surrey, as we are still in 1991, you are currently in Radlett. In order to open your door, you need to say either Surrey or Radlett. The door will only open in the place that you say.
Normally when people time travel, they cannot take technology with them. I made an exception for you in order to make the transition easier for Yisrael. Anybody from this time period will see what they think things should be. Any book in your bookcase that is from after 1991 has another book attached from before 1991. This way, if anyone comes to your house, they will only see the current books, not the future. Most British are completely ignorant of American sports so it is safe for Yisrael to wear his Mets Jersey and for Shlomo to wear his Matt Harvey jersey and his Eli Manning jersey. In the event that you do meet someone who knows American sports, the jerseys will look the way they did in 1991 with players from 1991.
Wishing you the best of luck,
