Andreas ended up running into a building to hide from "The Wrath of Scarlet", as he called it.
"You need something?" asked the man at the counter. A restaurant. How could he hide in a restaurant?
"Do you want to go to Rick-Rack place?"
"Huh?" said Andreas, snapping out of his hiding reverie and back to reality.
"I said, do you want to go to Rick-Rack place?"
"Andreas!" There was a loud hiss at the door slammed shut behind a specific customer.
"Is it me, or did that oddly sound like Skye hissing in a very ticked off manner?"
"It was, you numbskull!"
Andreas turned around, "Ah, Scarlet, SORRY! Skye. You found me."
"Yeah, I need to talk to you." She turned to the man at the counter.
"Where are the restrooms?" she asked politely.
"In the back, right around that corner."
"Thank you." She said with a forced calm. Skye grabbed Andreas' arm and dragged him into the back room.
"Hey, um, I'm sorry?"
"Yeah never mind." Andreas was stunned. Skye stared at him. "What!" she asked, "Never seen me give up a chase?"
"No, not really."
"Oh. Well... I just wanted to point out something."
"What?"
"This place is called 'Wand Inn'."
"It is? I mean, I know."
Skye snorted. "Might you wonder why the name WAND Inn and has nothing to do with D.C?
"'Course I'll wonder."
"Than I'll... should I ask?"
"Sure. Unless you're chicken! BAWK BAWK BAWK!"
"Then I'll ask." She said somewhat uncertainly.
"Fine by me." Andreas shrugged.
They walked back out toward the front counter.
"Excuse me?" asked Skye.
"Yeah?"
"Why is this place called 'Wand Inn'?"
"'Cause the 'Leaky Cauldron' was taken." He chuckled. "You're a muggle aren't you?" he asked skeptically. "Never mind, don't answer that, not as though you'd tell the truth." He quickly ushered them out onto the street.
Andreas and Skye stood there for a minute.
"Did he call us muggles?" asked Skye.
"Yep. ...Just like in..." Andreas said, as though something was coming to him.
"Harry Potter." They both said with new realization.
"And he said that the 'Leaky Cauldron' was taken." Said Skye, her face going pale.
"We have to go tell the others." Said Andreas, already starting toward the rink, so Skye had to run to catch up.
"Oh my god!" shrieked Jessi.
"Let's go, please!" squealed Hannah in anxious excitement.
"Come on, follow me!" said Skye, dragging them all forward to the Wand Inn.
As they entered, they surged toward the front desk man. "What do you want?" he asked, in a slightly annoyed voice at the kids who kept bothering him.
"How do we get to the back, y'know Rick-Rack place?"
"So you're not muggles then. Right this way." He led them back past the restrooms through an old wooden door. In front of them was a brick wall and a trash can. Hannah had an idea. She was a good actress so she put on her best facade.
"Is this entry like the one to
Diagon Alley?" she asked in her most dignified voice.
"Instead of 3 up, 2 across, it's 2 up, 3 across." Came the reply.
"Um," started Hannah, trying to look embarrassed, "On the way back from London, um, my wand managed to snap." She said, thinking humiliating thoughts, so she would blush sheepishly. "Might I borrow something to open it with?"
The front desk man handed her a rod with the words 'Squib Wand' on it.
"It opens things and does little magic. It's my niece's." he added, not wanting them to think he was a squib.
Hannah went forward to the trash can and tapped the bricks 2 up, 3 across. The wall folded. The bricks folded on top of each other to create an archway to a simple street.
"Thank you Mister...?" Hannah said, turning to the man.
"Alman." Said the man taking his wand and going inside.
"What a nice meeting!" Skye said sarcastically. "He didn't seem very talkative."
"No way! I wonder why?" said Jessi, playing along.
"Maybe because we're a bunch of random kids that have supposedly been to London." Said Dylan, "Obviously."
"So..." said Jessi, "What do we do now?"
