Unexplained concentrations of magical energy at otherwise normal, muggle sites. That is how she began her search and ultimately found the spot in rural America where they had lived another life. Hermione had floo called him from her hotel, tears flowing down her cheeks as she smiled and invited him to join her, "Just- you have to see it, Draco– I’ve never seen anything quite like it. I understand why we looked so happy here, so at peace–" And so, Draco had joined her via an international floo link just a few hours later. When Hermione apparated them to the vast open space, with a dilapidated old house just behind them, Draco had fallen to his knees and clenched his chest.
