Rysa Walker Quote

As soon as he turns the key, a man with a heavy British accent starts talking about giants not being meant to live in groups. That’s . . . Hagrid. , Aaron says. I got the full set as a Christmas present from Mom and Tay, since I’m in the car so much. I’ve read the books, of course, but . . . nice to listen to them, too. And so we listen for the next ninety minutes. Well, Aaron and I listen. Taylor is asleep ten minutes in. I close my eyes and try to lose myself in the story. The entire trip, I only check my phone twice. That’s the closest I’ve been to relaxed all day. Harry is just wondering whether Cho cried because of Cedric Diggory or because he’s a rotten kisser when Molly speaks up.
