Rysa Walker Quote

After a few miles, I push play and the audiobook starts. It might be nice to ride through the night, believing in magic for a while, magic of either the Hogwarts variety or the Muggle sort that will keep Daniel alive.But Aaron and Taylor must have been in the car a lot over the last few days, because they’re way past the point where we left off. And I’d forgotten how dark this one is at the end. They’re past the Ministry of Magic and back at Hogwarts now, where Dumbledore and Harry are arguing about Voldemort. About Voldemort crawling inside Harry’s head and trying to control him.Way too close to what happened in the lab for comfort. Deo and I both reach to turn it off at the same time.
