ff"Unbidden, the image of the beast in the shadows of Magnolia Crescent crossed his mind. What to do when you know the worst is coming ...
--'I'm not going to be murdered,' Harry said out loud.
--'That's the spirit, dear,' said his mirror sleepily."

Fulls blaus a contrallum, Marcel Maronas Ferrera

Marcel Maronas Ferrera

"Tots aquells que indefectiblement estem
