It just so happens that there’s a lovely young lady in the neighborhood whom Harry admires very much, but she always seems to be passing by when he’s deep in some terrible mess of the boys’ making… (Summary by Kara)
I’ll post another part here every Monday, but if you can’t wait just go to the catalog page and download the whole thing:
