Romania walked quickly down a London street, thoroughly lost. Not that he was going to admit that last part.
He half-heartedly munched on a ham sandwich he had taken out of the fridge of whatever unfortunate, Jack-Russell terrier owning, waffle maker-to-the-wall stapling person had lived in the house Romania had happened to "take a break" at.
The sandwich wasn't half bad either, but it didn't change the fact that he was still lost. Guess that's what happens when you don't visit a city for sixty straight years, then come back and expect to know exactly where everything is.
Insert obligatory joke about using Google maps here.
Although Romania kind of doubted that a Muggle map would've helped him find the place he was looking for, it still would've been nice to have one. He stumbled upon a conveniently placed bench and sat down dejectedly.
He wished he could stumble upon a conveniently placed map.
The gray sky rumbled ominously.
"...an umbrella might be nice too." he thought glumly.
A massive flash of lighting illuminated the sky over head for an instant, quickly followed by a deep rumble of thunder.
The sky split open and dumped its contents onto the city below.
"While I'm at it, I'd like a mansion and a million dollars."*
...
"Yeah right."
Five inches of rain, four hours, three miles, two more ham sandwiches, and one trip to a (conveniently placed) superstore later, Romania was (sort of) back on track.
In other words, he had an umbrella and a map now.
Romania still had no idea where he was going, but that wasn't the important part. The important part was that he felt like he knew where he was going. That and the umbrella kept him from getting soaked head to toe by the massive deluge of rain pouring out of the sky, so he was in a somewhat better mood.
Please note the "somewhat."
IT'S A MIRACLE, I'M NOT DEAD!
...But I haven't managed to write anything in so long...really sorry 'bout that.
This Chapter is way too short for my liking, but I'm actively writing the next one already, It should be up in a day or so.
*I used dollars so that more people would have a better understanding of the amount.
