It's that time of week again: time for another new theme here on the hpthemes docket!

When we solicited ideas for new themes in 2009, 2010 and 2011, each time folks suggested the lovely theme of Non-Magical Alternate Universes, so it's about time for that theme to have its day!

Creator's Summary: Draco owns a café in the city. Harry's a MP who comes in every morning, newspapers in one hand, BlackBerry in the other, and orders a triple espresso macchiato.

Contributor's Comments: I'm not a big fan of non-magicals - most of the time, if you change the character names, say from Harry and Draco to John and Steve, you can't recognize them as HP anymore
