As though Fred weren't already tense enough, everyone else in the memory suddenly comes to life — starting with the engine roaring, teenagers breathing and moving, and the radio turning on. Music blares: Dolly Parton. Jolene, specifically, which Georgie Trullinger immediately begins belting, because he knows this song by heart.
“Practically a muggle,” Zelda says to Lionel over the sound of Georgie singing, reaching over to pinch his cheek. Lionel grins back at her, looking proud.
The van backfires with a loud bang and it's immediately clear who the muggleborns aboard are, because the only ones not disturbed by the sudden sound are Georgie and Percy Potkin. The young Trullinger goes right on singing, and after a moment, the rest of the gathered teens start laughing, again.
“Think it’ll work for our post-grad road trip?” Lionel asks, and Percy nods.
Behind them, the sliding van door stands open, peering out into Peckenpaugh’s half-ruined auditorium.
