Harry followed the couple into the village under the cover of his invisibility cloak. They went to a particular hut Where the man kissed the woman goodnight. And he proceaded through the village and out past Stonehenge. It was much more elaborate that the stone circle on Harry\'s world. In addition to the the large stone that made it recognisable to Harry, there was a smaller circle of stones outside the inner circle. Beyond them were a series of wooden poles of various heights With multiple streamers running down from their tops with the ends staked down at various angles. They appeared to be some sort of astoromical measuring device and a group of middle-aged to elderly women were sighting along one of them to look at a star.
The man Harry was following walked past the observatory without stopping and and walked about a mile until he came to a structure that appeared to be some kind of fort. Harry had suspected that the clothes the man was wearing were a military uniform. Neither the Fiernan people that Harry and Luella lived amongst nor the proto-celtic \"Sun people\" that lived in the southeastern part of England, were in the habbit of wearing trousers and tunics of this particular cut. To Harry\'s eyes, it appeared to be a military uniform from the 20th century. The man walked up to a gate where a guard, armed with what was unmistakably a rifle, called for him to halt and give the password. The man complied and gave the password, \"pepsi\", and the guard opened the gate and let him into the fort. Harry was amazed that the entier exchange took place in english, spoken with a North American Accent!
Still hiding beneith his invisibility cloak, Harry mounted his broom and pushed off. He did not want to lose this enigma he was following. As he flew over the gate, he saw that there was a wooden eagle statue standing on a globe with an anchor through it mounted over the gate and it didn\'t look like a german eagle, either. The buildings inside the fort didn\'t look like anything he had seen on this planet thus far. They looked more like a 20th century Earth design. It was like coming home. His quarry opened the door of an unlit building and when he did so, light streamed out the doorway and around the building as the door created a slight breeze that rippled the blackout curtains that Harry now realized were over all of the windows. Harry instantly knew that this was not the soft glow of candle light coming from the building but the harsh glare of electric lights. He landed next to a window to listen in. They were conversing in english.
\"John! you\'re back! Did she say yes?\"
\"She said she\'d consider it, Ray\" said the man Harry had followed.
\"We\'ll she\'d better make up her mind quick. We\'re shipping out, day after tomorrow\" said Ray.
\"I know she loves me. I can\'t understand why she\'s so cautious\" said John.
\"Fiernan woman, not like to be tied down to one person like you Eagle people do\" said a female voice. \"We like . . . how you say? Play the field?\"
When he had thoroughly investigated the American outpost, he apparated back home to tell his wife the good news.
"Honey! I've found an outpost of Yanks from our world!" exploded Harry.
"What!?" exclaimed Luella.
"It seems that the Eagle people of legend are, in fact, Americans from the island of Nantucket" began Harry. "They were transported to this planet about ten years ago just like us. They've got a fort near Stonehenge with electricity and running water and every thing! Even better, they\'re hosting a conference of world leaders so we could walk the streets without arousing suspicion!"
"I can't wait to show the kids some of the muggle conveniences that we've been unable to make!" gushed Luella.
After getting ready, Harry made a rope into a portkey and had the kids all grab on to it.
\"One . . . two . . . three!\"
It was first time the kids had ever used a portkey before. Some of them thought it was fun, others hated it.
They found themselves in the middle of a crowded street. People gasped when they appeared. Thinking quickly, Luella made a quick bow and said:
\"Thankyou! Thankyou!\"
Harry, and then the kids followed suit.
Taking in their surroundings, Luella was relieved that they did not look out of place. Everywhere they looked, were Albans dressed similar to them. Luella had been afraid that they would appear somewhere where topless women were not the norm. There were also lots of people dressed like the Sun people who lived in the Southeastern part of Alba. There were also people dressed in 20th century style clothes. Looking around the island, they found a place where some sort of meeting was taking place on the steps of a building. It appeared that they practiced some sort of direct democracy here. From what they could gather, the island was preparing for state visits from the the King of Babylon, the king of Greece and a few other kingdoms. It was a conference to settle the aftermath of a recent world war. The war was over because someone named: \"Walker\" was dead. Whoever this Walker was, he appeared to to have been king of Greece.
The family wandered away from the meeting, still in progress, and explored the town. When their twin sons, Albus and Rubeus began whining about being hungry, Harry and Luella started looking for a restrant. It wasn\'t long before they came upon \"Captain Jack\'s Seafood shop\" and they stepped in for a bite. Harry went to the counter, pulled out some galleon coins and asked:
\"Excuse me but would you except these as payment?\"
\"I\'m sorry sir, we don\'t except foreign coins, you\'ll have to take them to the bank next door to get them exchanged\" said the Hostess.
~Daddy! I\'m hungry!~ hissed Albus
~You\'re going to have to wait~ hissed Harry. ~Daddy has to get some money.~
\"Our children are very hungry\" pleaded Luella. \"Do you think that you could give them a little fish & chips while my husband goes to get our money exchanged?\"
\"Well . . . . As long as you stay here to eat it.\" said the Hostess.
Harry went to the bank, stood and line and finally emptied his money bag onto the counter. He hadn\'t been expecting to need alot of money when he went up against Voldemort twelve years ago and he didn\'t know what kind of exchange rate he would get.
\"Could I get these exchanged for local curency?\"
\"Hmmm . . . Let\'s see . . . . I don\'t think I\'ve seen these particular kinds of coins before . . .\" said the Teller. \"I\'ll have to ask the bank manager.\"
She walked into an office with glass walls, taking one each of Harry\'s coins with her. Harry felt comforted to see her in an ordinary 20th century Earth muggle dress, and that the manger was wearing a bussiness suit. They conversed for a while and she pointed at him. Then he picked up the phone and made a call. Harry was starting to get suspicious and serepticiously pulled his wand out and pointed it at the Bank manager.
(Legilimens!) thought Harry.
(I can\'t believe that one of Walker\'s spies just walked into my bank! Hurry up! Hurry up!)
Harry scooped up his money and started to leave when, all of a sudden an alarm went off and an armed guard stepped in front of the doors, blocking anyone from leaving!
