Chapter Two: Moving In

I had just finished packing all my belongings and I was waiting for Harry to come and pick me up. I dragged my suitcases down the stairs and left a note for my parents to let them know that I had moved in with Harry. As soon as I had got to the bottom of the stairs, the doorbell rang. I straightened up and opened the door. Sure enough, it was Harry and his infamous smile.

"Harry!" I said jumping on him.

"Hi Mione, I'm glad to see you too!" he said while struggling to keep his balance.

Unfortunately he couldn't hold on to me and stand up at the same time so we toppled over. Narrowly missing my suitcases at the bottom of the stairs. As I landed, I opened my eyes and realised that Harry had fallen on top of me. I looked up into his eyes and for a minute I saw something in them that I had never seen before. But in an instant, it was gone. I smiled at him, but he didn't smile back, instead he seemed to be staring into my eyes. I had to break the silence, the sound of it was killing me.

"Harry, if you don't get off me, we'll never get going now will we?" I said.

"Wha? Oh, sorry Mione, here let me help you up"

He broke his gaze with my eyes and stood up before helping me up. I brushed myself off but as I looked back up at Harry, he looked down at the ground and blushed, I laughed inwardly.

"Thanks for the bracelet Harry, I love it!" I said trying to catch his eyes, finally I did and he smiled back at me.

"Thought you'd like it" he replied.

"Shall, we get going then?" I asked.

"Yeah, here pass me your suitcases" he offered.

"Thanks" I said as I passed them to him.

He carried them out to the car and put them in the boot. As he got in the drivers seat, I locked the front door behind me and took one last look at the house I had lived in since I was born. I then walked over to the car and opened the door to climb into the passengers seat. As I did I noticed there was a present neatly wrapped and placed on the seat, on top of it there was a small blue bow. As Harry got into the drivers seat, he noticed me puzzled face and smiled up at me.

"Yes, its for you" he said as I smiled back at him. "Happy Birthday, Mione" he said.

"Thank you Harry!" I picked up the present and placed it on my lap as I got into the car and shut the door.

Before I opened it, I leaned over and gave Harry a hug and a kiss on the cheek, he blushed slightly as I began to open the present. Panting noises could be heard as I took of the bow. I looked over at Harry and he just smiled mischievously. I went back to the present and took of the lid. Out popped the head of a little black puppy.

"Oh, Harry I love her! Thank you so much!" I gave him another hug and took the puppy out of the box.

I lifted it up to my face and it liked my nose, I giggled and so did Harry.

"Your welcome, I thought it might cheer you up a bit, you know ever since Crookshanks died I mean" he said.

Crookshanks had been out wandering the streets late one night and he had gotten run over by a speeding car.

"You're so sweet Harry, thank you!" I said turning and smiling at him.

"Its o.k., and by the way, it's a him not a her" he replied.

"Oh, well then I think I'll call him, Jasper"

"Jasper, I like it!" said Harry putting on his seatbelt. Apparently so did Jasper as he barked before licking my nose again.

I put my seatbelt on and then off we went, I was going to live with Harry, I couldn't wait, and I was slowly building up my confidence to tell him how I felt and he had no clue what so ever. Twenty minutes later, we came to a stop outside a small block of flats. Harry got out of the car and got my suitcases out of the boot while I carried Jasper out of the car and up to the front door. Harry followed and together we entered and began climbing up the stairs to Harry's apartment. His apartment was right at the top so he had the roof included with his flat, which was lucky as I liked to read outside. He put my bags down and took his key put of his pocket. He put it in the door and turned it. He pushed the handle and it swung open. As I stepped inside, it was amazing, it didn't look much like a flat on the inside, I guessed he had probably done it up with a bit off help from magic.

He stepped in behind me and closed the door with his foot. He then walked through the kitchen and I followed, he lead me round a corner and stopped outside another door. He put my suitcases down and turned to me.

"Well Mione, this is your new home, welcome to your room" he said and gave a bow which made me laugh.

He stood up and laughed as well. Just as I had my hand on the handle of the door Harry spoke again and I stopped and looked up at him.

"Just before you go in, I want to warn you that I haven't had a chance to straighten things out in there since Ron left so you might want to do it up yourself, just letting you know" said Harry.

Smiled at him and opened the door. Harry wasn't kidding. The bed wasn't made, the curtains were dull and there were a few small posters of the Chuddly Cannons still up the walls. The floor was a mess, there was no carpet, just wood and it was covered in all sorts of stains. I turned around to face Harry.

"How could Ron live in a place like this?" I asked confused.

"Haven't a clue" replied Harry, laughing.

"Well, I guess I better get started then! Can you look after Jasper for me while I fix my room?" I asked.

"Sure" said Harry as he took jasper out of my hands. "Let me know when you finish so I can have a look o.k.?" he asked.

"Will do" I smiled at him and he smiled back as he left the room and crossed the hallway.

He opened the door to a another room which I presumed was his and he smiled back at me before he shut the door.

"Well, this job isn't going to get done by itself now is it?" I said aloud.

I rolled up the sleeves on my blouse and pulled out my wand. In no time at all, I was casting spells this way and that changing the room, until it suited me. Finally, after an hour of re-decorating with magic it was done. The last thing I added was a small dog bed in the corner for jasper to sleep in and a few dog toys. I smiled at myself, pleased at my results. I put my wand away and dragged the suitcases over to my new wardrobe I had zapped in. I began to put my clothes in and then all of my other stuff, such as my books and other miscellaneous items, I put away on shelves and on my new dressing table. After all my stuff was in place, I pushed my suitcases underneath my bed, and went to find Harry. I went over to his room since I hadn't heard him come out of there. I knocked first, but after getting no reply, I slowly pushed open the door, and there he was, asleep on his bed with Jasper curled up sleeping on his stomach. I smiled and closed the door deciding not to wake him. Instead I walked into the kitchen and began making dinner to surprise him.
