Introduction and Prologue for The Legend, part one of The Traveller series. A Wizard named Proudfoot is hurrying to a rendezvous in Muggle London on a wet evening.

“Let’s just say I’ve had enough Ministerial interference to last me a while”
 
Ron and the others are briefed on their surveillance subject. Ron slips up and momentarily forgets his cover story.

“More of a baggy white cotton and lumpy look.”

Just as they are leaving the restaurant, Ron recognises Stapler as a fellow diner. Ron discovers Harry helped their driver receive compensation from the Ministry, but can’t remember the details. Ron starts to put together a plan of action.
 

“No more overtime.”

Ron wishes the old man disguise created for him by Brookes hadn’t left him with aching joints. Even so, the plan seemed to have worked and they have been invited into the building.
 

“You got yourself into Bangen’s elite team and then your old school friend waltzes over and takes the big seat?”

They check the camera coverage and while Ron and Copeland take a look around outside they realise one of the jewellery thieves has returned.
 

“Oh, no. They’re not back in that store room again, are they?”

Conclusion to Part One. Ron finds himself sorry that the operation has been officially cancelled. The two most unlikely heroes receive bravery awards. Ron looks forward to briefing Harry.
