CHAPTER SIXTEEN: Hogwarts: A History

Harry magiced his stroller up the stairs into Dumbledore's office. He had a question that had been bothering him for a while. He knocked on the door and waited to be told to come in. When he heard it, he smiled as he walked in and undid the magic he was using to make the stroller float. Harry gave them their pacifiers, and toys, and then sat down himself, to face a very amused Dumbledore.

"Sir, I have a question that has been bothering me."

"Go ahead."

"Well, how come you have been buying all of our things and paying for the nannies? Not that we don't mind, it's a great relief and weight off our shoulders." Harry grinned. A twinkle could be seen in Dumbledore's eyes as he smiled.

"Well in a way it is the schools fault that this happened. If you were injured, we would treat you free of charge. This is just like that. Now, once you graduate, I will help you get on your feet, but for the most part you will be on your own. Of course, the staff will train you how to live on your own first. But until then, you, your friends and the children are under my roof, and I want to make you as comfortable as possible while you're here, especially with your lives being so busy."

"Well we do appreciate it, extremely much! I have no idea what we would have done without you."

"Ah, you would have managed, I'm sure. I saw the work your team did restoring the third floor, so that it could be turned into a museum. I was very pleased. How is the team going? Congratulations on your win, by the way."

"Thank you. The team was not to thrilled with the volunteer thing at first, but we ended up having a lot of fun with the project, and look forward to the next part...turning it into a museum. Which we will start next week. There are still some items that have not made it for the museum. Hermione and a few other none team members have agreed to help with this part of the project. Hermione loves museums, and is very excited about getting to help start the first "Hogwarts: A History" museum. We plan on making every room look like it is from a different time period. We have pictures that have been here since the day the doors opened, to the very latest. Hermione has already started writing up plates of all of the items. This project could easily go right on into next year, but, I hope to have it finished before I graduate, I want to be one of the first to take the tour." Harry sat back with a grin.

"It sounds wonderful, I am rather looking forward to it, myself. Have you thought anymore about transportation?"

"Of course, we figure visitors can apparate into Hogsmead, or however they want to get there. Then maybe we can have the carriages running at certain parts of the day when the tours are scheduled. Screening the visitors and safety are your areas. Also there is the matter of times and getting the visitors around the school and to the museum without disturbing classes and such. Maybe tours should only be held during the summer and classes could use the museum during the school year. It's really all up to you." Harry finished.

"Ah, very good, it sounds like you put a lot of thought into this. I will take everything into consideration. Of course if you need my help with anything, feel free to ask."

"Oh we will, definitely. Do you know when the Hogwarts: A History people will be here to help out?"

"Two weeks, you will be well underway by then." Harry nodded, and stood up.

"Well once again thank you very much for everything."

"Your welcome Mr. Potter. Feel free to stop by at anytime, I enjoy visitors." Harry grinned and nodded, as he magiced his stroller again then stepped out.
