The winter break of 1977, Marlene's 7th year at Hogwarts, had been busy. She had decided to spend it with her aunt in London, and now, 3 days before Christmas, she was scrambling the wizarding part of London with Lily, trying to find gifts for her family and friends.

She was currently sitting with 10 bags on the Tube, that was only available to wizards, waiting to get off to her and Lily's next destination.
