Amongst the newly bought items was a luggage set that he made a note to send off to the trunk maker in Diagon. Hopefully the spells they used to put security on trunks along with enlarged insides would work on the sturdy muggle luggage set.When he finally returned to the inn he stopped by the restaurant once more and got some food to take to his room including a bunch of fruits. Once back in his room, the first thing he did was go to the window where his beautiful snowy owl was waiting. He shoved the window opened and pulled the screen out, setting it just beside the desk. Hedwig hooted and landed on his shoulder, preening slightly under his smile.
"Such a smart girl." Harry cooed. "I knew you would find me."
She gave a soft bark and nudged him. He smiled and went to his trunk to pull her cage out. He left the cage door open and filled her food and water dishes.
When he saw she was comfortable he took out his wand and turned to his pile of bags. He'd shrunk many of them, sliding them in his larger bags. He would never have been able to carry everything he had bought. He finally sorted all the stuff into piles and then dug through his trunk. He pulled out all the books and such and looked them over. He'd kept every book he'd gotten for every year. As he gazed at them he realized he didn't want to throw them away.
I'll look over them later then give them to that second hand shop in Diagon.' He decided, setting them aside.
He threw all his old ratty hand-me-downs into an empty bag to throw away. He set his robes aside knowing some wouldn't fit anymore but he could give those to the second hand shop in Diagon also. H e set broom, photo album, marauders map, and invisibility cloak to the side with the things he was keeping. When the trunk was emptied he ran over it with a damp cloth and then neatly set everything back inside. When everything was in, including all the new things he had bought he snapped the lid shut. The only things he'd left out had been Hedwig's cage, his luggage set, his wand, and a new pair of clothes.
Harry stood and grabbed his wand. He quickly said the incantation he needed and tapped his luggage set. It all shrunk to a good size. He put all the shrunken things into a bag which he tied tightly. Then he grabbed a pen and some blank paper off the desk.
'Sir/Ma'am,
I was hoping that the spells cast on magical trunks could be cast on this muggle luggage set. I travel into the muggle world quite often and my trunk draws to much attention. I can pick the luggage set up when you finish or if you can't do it. I will pay when I pick it up if the spells can be cast.
Thank you,
Harry.'
Harry tied both the bag and the note to Hedwig and stroked her softly as he carried her to the window.
"Sorry for asking so much when you just got here, but can you take this to the trunk shop?"
She gave a curt nod and nipped his fingers happily before taking off. He smiled after her and shut the window. He turned back to the room and decided he needed a bath
Harry rubbed his hair viciously with his towel to get the moisture from it. It made his hair into a giant mess but it was more comfortable messy and dry then dripping and untangled. He left the towel lying on his head and peered at the spread out sheets in front of him. On the way back from the mall earlier he'd stopped by a realtor and grabbed a booklet that contained all the houses for sale in London including flats and apartments and stores. Harry knew he had the money to buy a place and he really did need to find some place to live.
He flipped through the book and looked over every place. He circled the ones he was interested in and continued on.
"I don't want an apartment." He said, "Or a flat really. I'd kind of like a house. Something I could redesign and do anything I wanted with."
He went back through the list and crossed out all the flats and apartments he'd circled. He finally narrowed his house choices down to three.
"I'll have to go see the realtor again." He decided. "These ads don't give enough detail to choose the final house."
He stood from the desk and grabbed the new outfit he'd set on his bed. He tossed his towel down and pulled the clothes on. Then he quickly threw the wet towel in the hamper and grabbed an apple from the counter. He'd gotten a bunch of groceries to last the next few days so he didn't have to go down to the restaurant every time he was hungry.
He grabbed the booklet and pulled on his new pair of red sneakers. He stuffed his key cards in his pocket and took off out of the room. It only took him ten minutes to reach the small office sitting on the street between a printing store and a lunch café. He slipped inside and found the front desk.
"Hello." The lady behind the desk smiled.
"I need to speak to Sarah Williams." He said checking the name listed under the places he wanted.
Luckily all three houses were under the same realtor.
"Oh." The lady blinked in surprise. "Of course. Give me a moment."
She picked up the phone beside her and dialled a number.
"Miss Williams. There is a young man out here to see you."
She paused and looked to Harry.
"Do you have an appointment?"
He shook his head.
"No ma'am." She replied into the phone. "Okay. Thank you."
She hung up the phone and smiled at him.
"She'll see you now dear. Second room on the right."
He gave her a smile and headed down the hall. He knocked softly on the door when he reached it.
"Come in."
He entered quickly and found himself facing a woman with hazel eyed and blonde/red hair. She smiled at him and motioned him to a seat across from her desk.
"How can I help you dear?"
He slid the booklet to her.
"I'm interested in these three places but I need more details."
She blinked and stared at him and his serious face. Finally she smiled.
"Of course."
She turned to her computer and quickly typed something into it. Then she turned the screen to him and he got a close up of the first house along with it's yard. She clicked another button and he saw the entrance room. She started to point stuff out to him and click through pictures of the whole house. Then they moved onto the last two. When they finished Harry had made up his mind.
"I'm interested in the second one." He admitted.
She smiled faintly.
"Do you want to come back tomorrow? I can get the papers for you to look over. The couple selling the place has been trying to sell it a while with no luck. They've already moved out and you could move in as soon as you sign the papers and give the down payment."
Harry nodded and stood.
"Can I bring someone with me?" he asked.
"Of course." She nodded. "You may wish to bring your lawyer so he can look over the papers and sign as you legal witness."
Harry nodded acting like he understood.
"What time can we meet?" Harry asked.
"I'm open at three."
"Perfect. I'll be here."
She smiled and held out a hand which he shook.
"Pleasure Mr. …?"
"Potter. Harry Potter." He smiled.
She smiled back again and he left with a happy feeling.
