Chapter Nine - Wan Ruumu Manshon
She must have been joking when she said there was an apartment available. His old room back in the Burrow is bigger than this. Half of the broom closets at Hogwatrs were bigger than that. It had around a hundred square feet at most if he was being very generous. A single - and cramped - space to be used as bedroom, living room and kitchen. Behind the only other door beside the front door, a simple, but functional bathroom with a tube. It had he been alive, it would me impossible for Fred to live there with him. Except, it was only him now, no more Fred-and-George. And the place was really cheap compared to the other places he checked. Plus, Kagome said she lived close, it would be good to have a friend nearby.
"Looks small, but if you are a bit minimalistn and have the right furniture, it is perfect for bachelors."
Mum would say it was smaller than a dog house, the size of a matchstick box, but his mind was already imagining how to organize his life there, how to change this place to fit his stuff. To a skilled magic user like him, space was never a problem. Not that he have many things with him, only a few bags and personal possessions that easily fit a bottomless bag. He wasn't thinking about to bring his wizardry tools yet. For the moment, he needed only his wand and it was safely hidden in his waistband. Also, the stuff he saw at Kagome's store gave him great ideas of new items for his shop. Maybe his stay won't be so useless after all.
"I'll take it. This will be my new home."
"Really? Yay, that's great! Let's talk to Kano-san then celebrate!"
Wan Ruumu Manshon: One Room Mansion. It is the functional equivalent of the Western-style studio apartment.
