Outch.. Why does my back hurt so much? thought Harry as he began to stir. Oh yes, I slept on the couch. Don't know how Dudley managed to sit and lay on it all the time. It's damn uncomfortable.

He watched as his watch. 6am. Good, enough time for working out. It's good that since the Inheritance and the natural occlumency thing I have no nightmares and my scar doesn't hurt anymore... He changed into his training outfit and went outside.

At 8.30am when he got out of his trunk he was again seething. He found out that to perform occlumency the right way you have to close your mind and build a mental barrier and with opening your mind you just make it your enemy easier to penetrate your mind. It was just another way to spy on him.

He went downstairs to the kitchen and sat at the table next to his cousin.

„Morning Harry" said his cousin.

„Good morning, Harry. Why are you looking so angry?" asked his aunt.

„Dumbledore." Harry responded through gritted teeth.

„Oh okay. That's understandable. Earlier a young woman was here with pink hair. She said that she is on your side and wants to helps you. Her name was Tonks or something like that. She said we should write letters to Dumbledore and say him that we treat you like he wants us to treat you. The girl said she would tell him that she put us under the Imperius. I also got a letter from Dumbledore that asked why we let you go out. I wrote back that you ran away and that you got your punishment."

„That sounds like the plan Remus told me. And yes, that was Tonks. Thanks for taking part in the plan"

„Don't worry. I said I would support you. I know I can't make it alright for what we did to you but I will try to do my best from now on."

An uncomfortable silence fell over the kitchen and Petunia gave Harry 300 pounds to change the topic and break the tense.

„Why are you giving me money?" asked a bewildered Harry, the anger before gone.

„So you can go and buy a new bed."

„Oh. Thanks."

After he finished breakfast he went upstairs to take a shower and put on a black cargo short, a green shirt and black/green skater shoes. He sat at his desk and began to write a letter to the order. Then he went downstairs and stepped outside the door. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. It was a really good and peaceful day. The sun was shining and the birds were chirping... and something hit his head.

„Damn! Who was that!" shouted Harry as he reopened his eyes and rubbed his head where a stone had hit him.

„Calm down, Harry. It's just me." said Liam as he walked up the way to Harry.

„Oh, just you. Why are you hitting me with stones?"

„I just had to. You looked so peaceful." Liam had now a grin on his face. „Anyway. What are you going to do"

„I was on the way to the property market to buy a new bed. Want to come with me?"

„Sure thing. I have nothing better to do."

They made their way to the shop talking about different stuff but halfway Liam asked an unsuspected question.

„Are you actually Harry Potter, the wizard?" Harry looked suddenly wary.

„How do you know about wizards? And why do you asked?"

„I have heard about you when I moved from America to Britain 3 weeks ago."

„So you're a wizard too?"

„Yeah."

„Wow. Hadn't thought that. Yeah I'm the fucking boy-who lived!" said Harry with a sarcastic voice and kicked at a stone on the way.

„Don't worry. I don't think in a different way about you now. In America just a few people know were you are because they ignore for the most part what's going on in other countries as long as their aren't involved. Totally different from the muggle America. And I'm not one of those Dog eaters or how they calling themselves. For me, you are just plain old Harry." Liam smiled encouragingly to Harry.

„Thanks. I just hate the fame. It's not that I have done something special. My mother sacrificed herself so that I can live. And besides, it's Death eater, not Dog eater." smiled Harry back.

„Upps, whatever. I can understand you. My father was head auror in California and everyone expected great things from me. But I gave a shit about it and because of that I was kicked out of two schools."

„Two schools?" Harry was stunned.

„Yeah, and now, no other school in America wants to take me in." At this Liam smirked.

„What have you done? And is that the reason why you're here in England?"

„I tested some new spells and pranks on those people who got me on my nerves. And that's a part reason why I'm here. My father was born here and I'm here to claim the Inheritance of my family. I just don't know how I shall get to that bank."

„I can show you where Gringotts is. I was there a few days ago and also claimed my Inheritance. Why hadn't your father told you where it is?"

„He died at a mission. I just found a letter that said I shall go to England and claim the Inheritance and remove the curse about something. Don't know what he meant by that."

„Sorry. I hadn't known."

„Don't be. It isn't your fault. And he died like it was his wish."

„Ok. If you want we can go on Monday to Gringotts. The reading of my godfathers will is on that day."

„Sounds like a plan. Sorry about your godfather."

„It's ok."

There was a short silence between the two of them. They rounded the next corner and arrived at their goal. The property market.

Entering the store Liam asked „So.. What do you need, my good friend?"

„A new bed. The shit broke down last night."

„Okay. Then here we go!" He rubbed his hands together and pulled Harry to the bed section.

The next hour they tested every bed available and Harry found a really good one but it was to big for his room.

„Fuck it. It doesn't fit into my room!" murmured Harry angrily.

„I could expand your room if you want. I turned 17 a few weeks ago, forgotten?"

„You would do that? Great! I don't know the spell to do it myself."

„Don't worry. I can teach you and a few other things and when we go to Hogwarts I can teach you much more things." grinned Liam.

„You're going to Hogwarts?!" Harry was surprised.

„Of course I am. I have to start 6th year again because of the expels and the transfer but it's not a big problem for me."

„Cool, we are in the same year!" They both grinned now from ear to ear.

„What else do you need?"

„I have my own money and when you can expand my room, I would like to buy a new wardrobe, a bookshelf, a new desk, new chair and a new wand color."

„Said. Done. What color?"

„Don't know really. I don't want to have red unless I want to get sick. I want to have something no one else has..."

„That's quite impossible, but try it with 2 walls white, 2 walls purple. That would fit to the white wood your new bed has."

„That sounds great. Let's do it like that."

After they finished shopping they went outside to a shadowy corner where they shrunk the things and went back home. In Harry's room, they put all the things Harry wanted to keep outside in the hall, so that Liam could burn the rest and expand the room. They painted the left and the window side purple and the right and door side white. Liam changed the floor to a light parquet, the new desk was put to the left side with the new chair, the bed in the corner of the right and window side, the shelf next to the desk and the wardrobe was placed at the door side. They also expanded Harry's wardrobe so that all of his new clothes would fit in and in a new Cd-shelf he put all his new Cd's in. After they finished they collapsed onto the new bed.

„Damn was that exhausting." said Harry

„Yeah. What do you think about putting your fathers guitar on the wall above your desk?"

„That sounds great. Could you actually show me how to play?"

„When you will try to play in our band with me, Tyler and Chase?"

They both smirked. „Deal."
