“Unbelievable! What’re the chances?” Ron sighed, staring mournfully out the window.
“I know!” Harry, just as glum, stood beside him, gazing at the most unlikely sight of knee-deep snow. In London! Muggle London had virtually stopped functioning and as a result, wizards were confined lest they draw attention to themselves. “The Ministry’s even banned non-urgent Apparating.”
