larger each moment, was a big, oddly lop-sided
reature, which was coming in Harry's direction. He
stood very still and watched it sink lower. For a
moment, he hesitated with his hand on the latch of
the window, deciding whether he should slam it
shut, but the strange creature soared over a
streetlight of Privet Drive, and then Harry, who had
realised what it was, jumped aside.
(Harry Potter and the prisoner of
Azkaban -)K Rowling)

The weather seemed to have changed overnight,
with a bacing wind which brought a sky like
granite and a miserty rain too. Although it was only
just after two in the afternoon, it seemed that the
pallor a the winter evening hod already closed upon
the hills, covering them in mist."
