Chapter 11: Home, Sweet, Whatever the Hell this is.
Ginny opened her eyes to realize she was on the floor and Harry was on top of her. She shoved him off and got up. She was in a house. A muggle house. A huge muggle house. As the rest got up (excluding Dumbledore), they all had the same confused look on their face.
Dumbledore waited until all eyes were on him and he began to explain. "You will be living in this house until you all get along. Among the way, you will have trials to complete and privileges to earn. Follow me, I will give you a quick tour. We are in the living room. Here you will find every muggle convince. This is the entertainment area." Mia's eyes widen as she saw it. There was a HUGE T.V. and every DVD known to man. The couches were the same as her common area.
"This is the dining area. You will sit here to eat all of your meals. Yes, Mr. Weasley. You will have to cook your own food." Ron's ears redden.
"This is the kitchen. You will find that it is constantly stocked with food and everything kitchen-wise. Yes, Mr. Weasley. The kitchen, as well as the whole house is flame-resistant." As, Ron's redness spread to his neck, everyone chuckled.
Dumbledore kept walking until he reached a blank wall, "When you earn the privilege, there will be a door here. This door will lead to the Muggle community outside."
"These," He pointed at two slots. "go directly to Hogwarts. In this one, your homework will appear. When you are done with it, place it in this one and it'll go where it's suppose to. It will only go to teachers. Next is the bathroom. Now, up the stairs."
They walked up the stairs. There were 7 doors. They each had someone's name on it. Except the last one. "I have to go now, but here are your bedrooms. The last one is the bathroom. You will find all your muggle things in your room. Any questions?"
"What will happen to me and Granger's positions?' Draco asked.
"You will still be Head People, just you can't go to any of the meetings. Yes, Harry?"
"Er, any rules?" Harry asked.
"The same as Hogwarts. The first trial will begin tomorrow. By the way, no magic allowed." And with that, he poofed away.
Draco stood in shock. "What did he just say? No magic?"
"Let's deal with that later. Meanwhile, let's check out our bedroom. Then, we'll meet back here in five and check out the bathroom." Mia suggested.
Ginny entered her bedroom. It was the last on the left, the girl's side. Everything was pink and black, just the way she liked it. The shaggy carpet was black, while the comforter was a hot pink. Beanbag chairs everywhere. She went to her trunk and noticed all her wizarding things were gone. *Thank god, I brought all those muggle things.* She turned around and noticed she had a closet! Her own dresser and desk! And there's little hearts that light up around the room. *This kicks ass! This is a punishment?* Then, a terrified feeling came over her. If this is part of it and it's good, how bad is the rest?
Faye walked in her room. It was the first one in the girl's row. Her room was like Ginny's, only the carpet was yellow and everything else was a light blue. The walls were all glittery and there were two huge windows with window seats, displaying both sides of the corner. *Nifty.* She walked out and meet the rest of the gang in the hall.
In total silence, they walked to the bathroom. One by one, they entered. "Damn," Ron muttered. The place was huge. There was 5 sinks and 5 shower booths.
"Er . . . Where's the toilet?" Harry pointed out. Everyone looked around.
"Could it be behind the door that says 'Toilet'?" Draco sarcastically said. They opened the door and walked in. It was just like school, they were in booths. There was six. Three on each side. There was a door in between. Mia went to the door and tried to open it.
"Another privilege to earn," she sighed. "What time is it?"
"It's only seven," Harry answered. "I'm going to check out the rest of the house."
"I'll come with," Ron piped up. Everyone left the bathroom. The rest stayed upstairs. As Mia finished unpacking, she looked around her room. It had a tile floor and everything was decked out in Hawaiian. It even had a palm tree in the corner. She had a little windowsill plant holder garden thingy (she had no clue what it was call but she would find out later.). *When we get to go to town, I'll buy some seeds and plant flowers.* Mia loved flowers and was getting excited until she remembered it was a punishment. Then, she got depressed, went downstairs and made a sandwich (Which Ron ate.).
Faye walked into Draco's room. "Howdy! I finished unpacking. Do you need any help?" Draco's clothes were everywhere, on the wooden floor, on the bed, even on the fireplace. "Hey! I didn't get a fireplace!!!" Faye pointed out, outraged.
"Faye, I don't understand the concept of unpacking. Can't we just get house elves to do it?" Draco's hair was on it's end of how many time he ran his hand through it.
"Breathe! It's a punishment. It's going to be fine. Just go sit on your bed and let me do it." After putting his dresser stuff in his dresser, she looked around the room. Of course, the drapes and comforter were made of the finest red velvet. A sudden realization came to her. "Wait a second, these are Gryffindor colors." Her mouth opened in mocked shock.
"I like red. You know that! So, what if it's a Gryffindor color?" Draco stood up, dignified.
"I'm going to tell everyone!" Faye jumped off the floor and ran down the spiral stairs. Draco was close behind her. As she jumped of the last stair, she noticed everyone was in the living room. As she skidded to a stop, she exclaimed, "Everyone, Draco . . ."
But alas, she couldn't finish for Draco clamped his hand over her mouth.
"Draco likes to keep his stuff private," Draco started to drag Faye until he got hit with something soft. Draco turned around to see Mia holding a pillow.
"Let her go or else," Mia threatened.
"Or else, what? You'll hit me? You and what army?" On cue, everyone grabbed a pillow and started smacking Draco with it. As Draco trying to protect himself, he made one big mistake. He let Faye go.
"Draco's room is in Gryffindor colors!" Everyone stopped in their tracks and laughed.
"You are so no longer allowed in my room." Draco shot her an evil glare and went up the stairs.
Noticing the look on Faye's face, Harry felt a little guilty. "I'm sure he didn't mean it, Faye."
"Hope so, Harry," Faye sighed and went upstairs. "Hope so." She seen Draco more upset but this was different. She was never banned from his room. Not even the time, she put muggle super-glue on his toothbrush.
As the night approached, Faye grew more and more anxious. She kept waking up in the middle night. She never slept well when Draco was mad at her. She was going to do something about it. Half asleep, she tip-toed to his room and pushed it the door open. She poked him and he rolled over. She got into his bed and nuzzled him. He snorted, draped an arm over her, and pulled her closer. Everything was good.
As Faye woke up, she realized she didn't know where she was. She sat up alarmed. She was in a waterbed. The room was all blue including the tiles. A wall was replaced with a humongous aquarium. It was quite pretty and mesmerizing. She looked over next to her left. A really cute redhead was sleeping next to her. He opened his eyes, snorted, and went back to sleep. Faye had no idea what was going on. She got out of bed and ran down the stairs. *Ok, where am I?*
As she entered the kitchen, she saw a girl with bushy brown hair, sitting down eating breakfast. The girl looked at her with a confused look and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"
Faye looked deeply puzzled. "I . . . I . . . don't know."
Ginny opened her eyes to realize she was on the floor and Harry was on top of her. She shoved him off and got up. She was in a house. A muggle house. A huge muggle house. As the rest got up (excluding Dumbledore), they all had the same confused look on their face.
