You don't feel an attraction to it though." he frowned.

Harry scowled. What? No he hadn't felt a pull to it but he'd never felt a pull to anything other then his wand. He'd chose the black one because it was a beautiful work of art and not overly grand. The man suddenly turned and strode into a back room. Three minutes later he returned carrying a small wooden box. He slid it to Harry and rang up the price. Harry paid him, slightly stunned and was shooed from the shop.

Once outside he opened the case and gasped at the very tiny instrument in a velvet outline. The piano was a deep red wood color with swirls of black that made a pattern of a large feather on the sides. He careful tapped one of the keys with his nail and smiled at the soft sound. It was a beautiful piano, shrunken but nice. He quickly put it away and vowed to try it out later as he headed down the street. He was finished in this alley for now. He just had to grab his luggage kit before leaving

Once on the muggle side of London Harry found himself with another hour to kill. He started to wander down the street looking for some stores to browse. He found one in the form of a huge bookstore. He spent at least half an hour in there loading up on story books, fiction novels, text books from various classes of muggle secondary school, and other such things.hands. Harry looked them over. 'Driving for beginners' bother were labelled, but one had a car on the front and the other a motorcycle.

I took the liberty of arranging a driving test for you. One of the perks of being in the wizarding world is that both governments have arranged for adult wizards and witches to be able to get licenses without too deep of a back ground check. And you skip your 'learners' license and go straight to the 'new'. There were a few questions on your age this time but this test will stop you if you can't handle it. I also applied for you to get both the class 5 and class 6 license at the same time. Wednesday, two days from now, you shall have your test at noon. Just give the papers to the driving instructor. If you get there an hour before noon someone is scheduled to give you a quick test run in a vehicle to give you some hands on time."

Harry gaped at him.

"Thanks." He stuttered as he stuffed the books and papers into his bag.

"Hmph." The goblin huffed. "I had to go through the Ministry for this so you'd better be grateful. Thankfully they are too stupid to check who I was doing it for as it's not a big priority for them. Now run along."

Harry did so, heading for his hotel. He'd spend at least the night there then head to his new house. He still hadn't visited the pool anyways.

Harry gazed about the front of the house with an odd smile.

The house was tall being three stories. It had aged wood that was stained a beautiful deep red for siding giving it an ancient antique look. It had large windows all over the place showing the house would get lots of natural light. On the far left of the roof was a small turret with a rounded roof. On large window took up one side of the spire. The whole roof was shingled in a black that gave it an outlined look. A matching garage was attached to the house. Dark green siding wound around the windows, doors, and such. The front door was painted a deep green along with the pillars holding up the roof of the front porch. The floor of the front porch was just pine wood stained an aged wood color.

The whole front yard, which was twice as large as the Dursely's, was open for anyone to see and filled with soft green grass. There were gardens lining each side of his property along with tall, solid, green hedges to act as a fence. Along the house was a skinner garden that hugged the house walls, breaking only for the front door and the small covered porch around the door. One large garden took up the middle of the lawn, circling around a tall weeping willow that was ancient by how large it looked, drooping over almost his entire lawn blocking almost the whole house from sight. Instead of just a dirt edge to separate lawn from garden, small white stones edged every garden beautiful. The gardens were more weeds then flowers but they would be beautiful when they were flowering with large colourful plants.

The driveway was made of light grey cement that was completely even and ended in the two car garage that was back slightly. A small path led from the driveway to the front porch and a small swirling circle of flat white rocks and a burgundy mailbox. Another path led around the garage up to a metal wrought single person gate leading into the back yard.

The backyard, which was about three times as large as the Dursely's back yard, was surrounded by a large dark stained wood fence that was just short enough someone could peer over with crossed arms resting on top of the fence. The whole backyard was filled with gardens also. In fact all the grass was even taken up. Gardens took up most everything, lining the fences and the house and circling the three leafy trees that rose high. White stone paths weaved in and out of the garden leading to either a small bench at the back, a hanging chair from the farthest tree, or the good sized walk in greenhouse along the back fence with a compost bin beside it.

The front entrance way of the house was more of a porch. It had a small closet and was tiled. It was more of a hall then a room. It led into a large light room that was obviously a living room and dining room. An island separated a spacious kitchen from the large area. Four doors off to the right led into a bathroom, an office, a large pantry, and into a garage. Straight across from the front entrance hall was a set of glass doors leading into the back yard and onto the small three by four raised wooden deck.

To the left of the front entrance hall was a set of stairs that led upstairs. On the second story was another bathroom, two spare rooms, one master bedroom, and a small open area next to the stairs that appeared to be a second sitting room. A third set of stairs, to the right of the first staircase led to a third floor that had the spire room which was quite nice as it was round with a ladder in the center leading up to a small loft. The rest of the floor was more of an open attic with lo rafters and a small bathroom attached to the spire room.

Every room inside had been painted a clean white so the next to move in could paint it any way they liked. The place also seemed quite empty missing all its furniture. Harry pushed his trunk and luggage set into the spire room which had had claimed as his room. Then he quickly found some paper and a quill to write a note to the carpenter wizards he wished to hire. He sent the note with Hedwig who was happy to do something.

He glanced about once he saw Hedwig vanish in the sky. He didn't want to go out and buy everything he needed before the place was checked over and painted so he decided he'd best get started on the gardens outside. They all have to be weeded, the dirt upturned, and all the roots of any plants removed. He decided to get started on the back yard first.

Harry greeted the team of three men at the front door, brushing drift off his clothes, three hours later he had mailed for them.
