One Day More

But you could always ask.
Disclaimer: The Harry Potter books, and all characters and settings therein,
are the property of J.K. Rowling and her publishers. The
musical Les Miserables is the property of Cameron
Mackintosh Productions, I believe. One could say that the publishers and fans
of Harry Potter belong to themselves, but I would argue that these particular
ones are simply imaginary constructs for the purpose of parody. It's not like
I'm using any names, here. ;-)
[The date: the day before Book 5 comes out.
The scene: God only knows…]
