"Harry Potter and the Zombie Invasion?" Remus frowned at the pile of books. Why was Flourish & Blotts stocking cheap paperbacks? "Is this about that Inferi infestation in the Wash?"

"No." Severus grunted. "It's self-published. Fiction - "

"'The zombie grabbed the child, popped its head off, and grinned. Its teeth fell out as it scooped out a handful of steaming brains.' This is awful!"

"Awful?" A stocky, nearsighted woman straightened abruptly. "It's supposed to be funny!"

Severus closed his eyes as she burst into tears. Her white cat glared at them. "Congratulations. That was the author."

Remus winced. "Oh."
