Cars that were stood in drives and lawns that were lay: the use of hosepipes had been banned due to drought. Deprived of car-washing and pursuits, the inhabitants of Pivet Drive had retreated into the shade of houses, windows thrown in the hope of tempting a breeze. The person left outdoors was a boy who was lying on his back in a bed. Excerpt from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J. K. Rowling. (Page 1).
