Chapter 1

Experiments in MUGGLE WORLD IKEA

Harry pushed his way through the crowd, with anger already forming in his eyes. He had been in the line for what felt like 4 hours. He checked his watch. 5 MINUTES! The watch must have not changed over the time zones. He changed positions and let out a rumbling sigh. He got a few hundreds of flashes of eyes, but they turned away when they heard the rustling of the trolleys. The line edged forward a few centimetres. Here he was, waiting in this mile long line, just standing here for a trolley in this stupid place that Ron had dragged him to the opening of the this new place in Springvale, called IKEA.

The journey was alright. He got to show off his brand new broomstick to all of his friends. He wished that there had been more of them here though. He could see the guilt in Ron's eyes. Harry was frustrated at Ron. He had been dragged half way across the world to come here and all he would be doing is standing here. He dreamt of this place as a luxurious place, where everybody treated him like royalty and everyone knew his name. Where he could doze off on the couches. But the only reason he was here was to buy some new furniture for Ginny and his own house. Except, all his friends came to.

Finally, he got to the front of the line. He grabbed the biggest trolley and wheeled it over to the beds with Ginny.

"What about this one?" she asked

"Na, too big" he answered

Ginny pointed to another couch

"Way too small" he said. "I thought we were going to start a family!"

There was no use so Ginny just stopped with the hand gestures.

"Fine then. Here's the plan. Have a look around and we'll meet back up at the registers.
