Hermione was accustomed to the rain as she ducked through the familiar alleyways of Muggle England. She still had a few more days until she was to meet up with one of the Delacours to spend the rest of her Summer in France with them. Had Sirius Black not died during the battle at the ministry, then she wouldn't have had to set her eyes on the streets for the Summer. She had been having a hard time getting accommodation in the wizarding world due to the fact that everybody knew that Voldemort was back. The Leaky Cauldron had all but refused to let anybody stay there for more than a day.
