Excerpt:
"And what is the reason for your visit?"
James Potter had been asking himself the same question since he had boarded the plane in Boston eight hours before. I'm here to find out if my best friend has gone insane, or if I've just fallen for the world's worst joke. He looked at the immigration official doubtfully. "I'm visiting a friend."
