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.
Harry woke the next morning feeling content as he lay in the fluffy sheets and blankets, revelling in the comfort. Finally, after a few minutes of just relaxing his swung from bed and stretched. He found Hedwig had returned and slipped in the window which he had left open. He pet her softly before hurrying to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. He dragged a brush through his hair and dressed quickly enough before grabbing a glass of water and some yogurt.
When his 'breakfast' was done he grabbed a deep green satchel from his trunk. He'd gotten it on one of his trips to Hogsmead last year. It was comfortable and had an enlarged inside. He threw a bunch of things he would need into it and pulled his sneakers on before yelling a goodbye to Hedwig and checking that he had his car keys, left the room.
