CHAPTER 10

The Violet Veil

Chapter 10 of 11

The rain in Muggle London was a living thing - a persistent, silver-grey curtain that blurred the sharp neon edges of Soho. For Dave, Rea, Mira, and Miranda, the transition from the ancient, stone-heavy stillness of the wizarding world into the chaotic pulse of the non-magical city felt like a physical shock, a sensory overload that rippled through their magical cores.

They moved through the wet streets of London like ghosts from a different century. Dave walked at the center, his grey hoodie pulled low, his eyes constantly scanning the shifting patterns of the crowd.
