Chapter 2-

Harry's new home

Ginny watched as Hedwig pecked at the window that was third from the right on the top floor. She went inside with Hedwig behind her and went to the desk.

"Excuse me Sir, where's the stairs?" Ginny asked politely.

"It's right next to the elevator, but what floor are you going to?" The man asked. Ginny thought he looked around 35 or so.

"The top floor" Ginny replied. She was wondering what an elevator was.

"Are you sure you don't want to take the elevator?"

"Er. . . . I don't know how to use an elevator." Ginny said blushing slightly at how stupid she must sound.

"Oh, I'll help you! Follow me." The man grinned and walked out from behind the desk. Ginny followed the man to two steel doors that to Ginny's surprise didn't have knobs! The man pressed one of the buttons on the wall that had a arrow pointing up on it, and then the doors opened.

"So where are you from? I haven't seen you around here before and I noticed your accent." The man said stepping into a small room that was behind the doors.

"I'm from Brittan and I'm visiting a friend." Ginny said walking into the room as soon as she was in the room the doors closed behind her and almost squashed Hedwig. Then the room started moving upward.

"You're visiting Harry Potter right? He lives on the top floor." The man said not noticing Ginny's shock at the moving room.

Yes actually, I don't know what apartments his though all I know is that he's on the top floor, and I'm surprised that you know everyone in this building it's so big!"

"Well I don't know everybody but Harry lives in the penthouse of this building. so he's a big spender and he's extremely nice everyone likes him. He's got that kind of Charm you know, and anyways you'd think someone as good looking as him would have a women over every night but he's never had a woman visitor. Actually come to think of it he's only had one visitor at all. It was this man named Draco Malifoy and when he came back down he had a black eye so-"

"Malifoy was here," Ginny said confused, "I wonder why he didn't say anything to the i Daily Prophet /i "

"This is it!" The man said as the doors opened. "I don't know if he's home though. See you around!" Hedwig flew out of the elevator first and Ginny followed as soon as she was out of the elevator the doors closed.

Ginny went up to the only door and knocked. She waited a couple minites and then saw a button by the door not knowing what to do she pressed it. Then she heard a faint i ding dong /i in the distance. She reluctantly knocked again. When no one answered she took out her wand and muttered i Alohomora /i then she opened the door.

She was shocked his apartment was huge! It looked like a giant one story house. Ginny thought back to what that man said:

i "He's never had a woman visitor. Actually come to think of it he's only had one visitor at all. It was this man named Draco Malifoy," /i

"What dose he need all this space for if no one lives with him?" Ginny thought

She went to sit down on the couch. She noticed that he had a T.V. and that it was really big. A T.V. was something she did know about her dad brought home one from work and bewitched it to hook itself up the T.V. lasted about a week before her mom decided to chuck it because the children would spend the whole day watching it.

Ginny found the remote on a side table and turned on the T.V. to look for a good show. She found a channel that had a guide to all the shows. She saw that in an hour a show called i Buffy The Vampire Slayer /i would come on. She wanted to check that out and in the meantime she was watching a show called i Gilmore Girls /i . and she loved it. She hoped to have a relationship with her daughter the way Lorilie had with Rory.

She realized that she had to stop thinking about Lillian because Harry didn't know and she didn't want to let it slip. She wanted to let him meet lily before she told him.

She started to watch Buffy but realized it wasn't what she was hoping it to be. She went to look at the small library that she saw when she walked in. She picked out a muggle romance novel and started reading it. She read two chapters when she realized she was hungry. She went to the kitchen and looked in the fridge. She was surprised to see two cases of beer! Ginny had never known Harry to drink. She realized that there was not one magical thing through out all the apartment she'd seen. She shut the door grabbing a

yogurt and spoon. Then she went off to look through the rooms. She looked in the first room which was pretty bare with just a bed, a desk, and a few pictures.

She went to the next door and opened it. She new this was Harry's room because the bed wasn't made, and there were clothes all over the floor. She went and folded the clothes almost automatically, being a mother she usually did this for lily.

She passed the bathroom and went to the last bedroom it was locked so she used the i Alohamora i spell again. She was shocked to see what she was waiting for. The room was bright orange the color of Ron's old room, with pictures of allover the rooms walls of Ron, Hermione, Her mom and dad, Sirus, Lupin, His mum and dad together and a few of him and her together. These weren't the muggle pictures of scenery like all the ones plastered all over the house these were the moving pictures she was accustomed to. She noticed there was a picture of Albus Dumbledore just like the one in McGonagall's office at Hogwarts.

Out of no where the old headmaster popped up into the picture frame and said "Mrs. Weasley surprised to see you here no one ever comes in this room. Not evan Harry."

"Hi Professor why arent you in the portrait at Hogwarts?"

"I heard someone come in the room and Minerva told me to come every time someone came in."

"Oh tell McGonagall I said hi."

"Will do, Ginny, will do." And with that Dumbledore was gone. Ginny looked at the room more intently. It was a cross between the burrow and Hogwarts! It was relaxed. He had his Firebolt on the bed along with school and quiditch robes.

He had his wand in a locked case on the desk the key wasn't around. She left the room as fast as she could re-locking the door and then walking back into the kitchen. She washed the spoon she had used and then went and laid on the couch.

Harry just got back from the bar. He went to think and have a few drinks. "Hey Chad, What's up?" Harry asked to the clerk as he past by the desk.

"Hey you had a visitor today! I took her up and she hasn't come back down so she's probably still up there." When Harry heard that he raced for the elevator.

i Who would be visiting me /i he thought. i Maybe its Hermione! /i

He went to the door and knew it couldn't be a muggle because he always locked the door. He opened the door and all the lights were off except for the kitchen light. He went into the living room and saw a beautiful red head asleep on his couch.
