And being the one no one knew anything about meant that, for Harry, life was about to get harder. He considered, however, that he didn’t particularly trust them either, so he supposed it evened out.

But he still sighed heavily.

No one ever said it would be easy. But no one ever said it would be so bloody difficult all the time either.
