Ron arrives next (just behind a man in a Members Only jacket), complaining about the more mundane tasks of his job but quotes old advice from his father: "Try to remember the times that were good." Cho Chang is late and has difficulty parallel parking her car outside. The man in the Members Only jacket orders coffee at the counter. He looks in Harry's direction a couple of times, then walks towards him, going past to the restroom. Harry, Hermione, and Ron each pop an onion ring in their mouths and finally, Cho Chang parks and rushes across the street, approaching the door. Harry hears the bell on the door ring and glances up. The book then ends abruptly.
