Chapter Three

Shopping and Teaching The Wizard Borns

Harry appeared in the living room after exactly twenty minutes had passed smiling.

"Sorry I'm on time." Harry said. "Would have been back earlier, but I had a little talk with Moony."

"What! I thought you were trying to avoid them." Serena said.

"Not Moony, I told him to meet me." Harry said smiling. "Now they know we are fine and we won't have to worry about them searching for us too."

"I can't believe you. What if he grabbed you before you came here?" Serena asked.

"I always stayed about twenty feet from him. In the time it would have taken him to get to me, I would have been here." Harry said. "Look I know it was stupid, but I wanted to have at least one group off our tail for a while."

"Alright I'll let it go this time, but don't do something without telling me about it again." Serena said sternly.

"Alright." Harry said, surrendering. Then he looked at Hermione. "I did get enough money I hope."

"How much did you get?" Hermione asked.

"Twenty five thousand." Harry said simply.

"Quid!" Hermione said, her jaw dropping.

"Not enough?" Harry asked.

"More than enough. We could buy the best of everything we need and still have more than half left over." Hermione said.

"Good, then I won't have to go to Gringotts for more money when we run out of food." Harry said, smiling.

"We are out of food." Hermione said.

"I know, but we can't very well stock a fridge with enough to last us for two months. I don't really feel like enchanting that so it would be that large inside it either. We'd kind of stick out a bit you know." Harry said. "Six teenagers with more food than anyone normally buys at one time. Remember, we are going for the normal muggle teens living together."

"Right. Perfectly normal." Hermione said. "How are we going to pull this off? We have four people who never even saw the muggle places we will be going too. And we aren't exactly fit with transportation."

"We could take the knight bus." Serena said.

"Or we could take the car." Harry said easily.

"We don't have a car." Hermione said.

"Who says?" Harry answered smiling. "I even have a license." Harry said showing her. "Got it yesterday."

"You really were busy yesterday then." Hermione said.

"Definitely. Now the car is charmed. We can all fit in their comfortably. Figured we'd all need to go for the shopping." Harry said. "So shall we go?"

"Is this a real license or did you just make it?" Hermione asked.

Harry looked appalled. "I earned that! Studied through last year." He said.

"Sorry, Harry, didn't mean to offend you." Hermione said, then smiled. "Lets go everyone. Long day ahead I feel."

They all piled into the car, and Harry climbed in behind the wheel. Harry started following the directions Hermione gave him and soon they were in front of the first shop. Hermione gave the four who were not muggle raised a quick lecture about how to act there. When she was as confident as she could be that they would act as muggles they entered the store.

They shopped for nearly two hours in the one shop, everyone accepting whatever Hermione said they needed. With three carts of things piled up, they decided it was time to leave. Harry paid while the others took the items to the car. Then they were off to another shop which appeared to be only about entertainment.

Harry, holding true to Hermione's idea that boys like flashy things bought many more electronics, some he even saw no real need for. Hermione began selecting movies and Harry eventually joined her while the others just stood watching these two confused. After an hour of shopping in this store, Harry and Hermione felt they had enough movies and music to last the summer. In reality there was no way possible for them to watch and listen to everything they had. Leaving this store, Harry took them to the cafe he was at the night before. Here Serena, Ron, Ginny, and Neville began to question them.

"What were those thin boxes you two kept picking up?" Ron asked.

"What about the really small, thin boxes?" Ginny asked.

"What was in the boxes?" Serena asked.

"What do they do?" Neville asked.

Hermione and Harry laughed at them. "The thin boxes Ron, held something called a DVD." Hermione said.

"It.." Harry said thinking. "Makes a movie show up on the telly."

"What's a movie?" Ron asked.

"A play Ron." Hermione answered. "The other boxes held cd's. They play music for a particular singing group."

"We can explain the rest later. We are still in a muggle place." Harry said calmly.

The four agreed to this and began enjoying the muggle world again. They seemed to like the cafe, which Harry was grateful. The place was quiet but no one really complained to having six loud children joking, laughing and talking about the most normal things in their lives. They had a small lunch and talked about everything they had left to do.

Harry decided it was time to go when Ron made a comment about the waitress moving almost as fast as a house elf. Hermione said the only thing left was to buy some food. Harry readily agreed, knowing this might be the easiest thing to handle. He made his way to the store, where again Hermione lectured them.

They entered the stored happily, each one thinking of what they wanted for dinner. Hermione collected two trolleys, and her and Harry took them. They began buying food that all of them thought would be good. Serena had to be dragged away from one aisle as she kept saying that they should have beer around. She finally gave up when Harry and Hermione said they couldn't get that as none of them were old enough yet.

Sweets were bought in mass amounts, Hermione commenting that her parents would be disappointed. When they had filled both trolleys, they decided against getting another. They paid for the food quickly and loaded the car up. No longer having any room in the trunk, they were all happy enough to go back to their flat.

When they arrived back at the flat they decided to bring the stuff in the muggle way as well. Taking twenty trips, they finally had everything in. Harry took the liberty of putting the groceries away, which took him about five seconds. He looked cheerfully at Hermione who was taking things out of their bags one item at a time as she scowled.

The day passed quickly for them. Each had a job to do, whether it was in the bathroom, kitchen, bedrooms, or living room. This kept everyone busy for quiet a while. Even Harry took his time doing things, mainly because he was supposed to handle anything that required electric that he bought.

Hermione, Ginny, and Harry took up the cooking that night, being the only people who really knew how too cook without magic. Serena was watching carefully and taking notes so she could learn how to do this. She swore by the end of the summer she would know how to cook. More than once Harry thought about calling Dobby to help them, but they got through all this easily enough. Harry smiled as dinner was finished and prepared the plates.

For dinner, Hermione had insisted on chicken parmesan, with spaghetti with pesto sauce, baked potatoes, and rolls. The meal was wonderful, Ron and Neville saying a meal couldn't have been made better with magic. Harry commented that it could have been made quicker, causing everyone to laugh.

Hermione put in a movie after dinner, and promised to teach them whatever they needed to know about muggle living tomorrow. Harry knew he had a few things to learn himself, but nowhere near what the others did. They watched a very funny movie about a group of friends who seemed to be clearly insane, which all caused them to laugh at the resemblances to themselves.

Remus finally finished telling the order what Harry had told him. It wasn't a long story, but many of the Order were taking great pains to ask him questions through the tale. When he finally got out the last sentence, he started grumbling about no one wanting him to tell it. Dumbledore listened to his story intently however. Both knew there was something Harry wasn't telling them.

"I don't think this was a quick plan, Remus." Albus said.

"I agree, there is too much involved. I know he was telling the truth about everything he said though." Remus said. "He seemed to answer too quickly to be lying. If he was, he planned it well. What about Neville Longbottom being with them?"

"That is true. His grandmother seemed most happy to tell me that her grandson was with Harry Potter. She never even bothered to ask where they were going, or where Harry lived. She seemed most interested in the fact that he could apparate and take someone else though. Harry promised that Neville would get everything he needed to start school, as Harry's way of thanking her for letting him stay." Albus said.

"That sounds like Harry." Remus said smiling. "Always so polite and cheerful when he is trying to charm people. I bet he could have told her and asked her not to say anything and she would still say she knew nothing. Just like his father."

"I agree. I wonder if the children were involved in this plan, or if it was just him and Serena." Albus said. "Certain aspects seem remarkably like Miss Granger, like living in the muggle world. She would be the one to think of this, although it would bare a definite choice for Harry as well."

"Why would they do this, Albus?" Molly asked. "They all know Harry is in danger without people to look after him."

"He is in danger with people looking after him Molly." Albus said. "Either way he is in peril. With Harry, Ginny, and Serena I know those three are strong together. They seemed to have included Ron and Hermione in their training as well. It may be that those five together would be able to fight a war if all of them are at the same pace. Harry alone is a force to be reckoned with, and I have only fought him while he gave me the benefit of not using those special powers of his. I have no doubt they will be safe.

"My only concern is of the parents of these six. You and Arthur seem most upset about this. I'm sure I can never say I understand completely, but I know this worries you. Remus, I know you do not worry about either child in your custody, and I know why you do not. I only wish everyone knew the reason. Maybe then they would not feel so worried." Albus finished.

"What are you talking about Albus?" Arthur asked.

"It is not time yet, Albus. If she wanted them to know, she would have said as much. This could also cause problems between the two, being as they are living in the present and no longer thinking of the past." Remus said. "If you tell them, you know as well as I she will be extremely angry. It will do no good anyway, as them knowing may only worry them more."

"What are you two talking about?" McGonagall asked hurriedly.

"Remus is right. It is not yet time. I will merely say this. Miss Black is a very strong girl, indeed almost more than her years permit." Dumbledore said, smiling. Remus saw the familiar twinkle in his eyes as he looked at Remus.

"I agree. However, she is sometimes as reckless as Harry." Remus said. "It seems we have to trust to Hermione's strong ability to think rationally. Though I have thought of something."

"What is that, Remus?" Albus asked.

"It seems that they are not doing this to cause or make trouble." Remus said. "They seem to be doing this as three young couples escaping from the world for a while."

"How do you mean?" Molly asked, suddenly quite curious.

"Think about it. Six children. All of them are dating someone that is there. This seems more like a romantic getaway among friends than a coup to raise hell freely. Though they very well may cause some. Serena and Harry especially. They seem to thrive on it." Remus said.

"You think these children left to...be alone?" Arthur asked.

"I can't tell for all of them. I know that Harry and Serena are enjoying themselves." Remus said. "Then, we also know that is not a new thing to the two. I only suspect the same of Ron and Hermione. But Ginny is confusing to me. I have often suspected she and Harry, but have no idea about her and Neville."

"She and Harry...no she wouldn't do such a thing." Molly said firmly.

"I am not stating a fact, Molly, only a speculation." Remus said. "That is not the case now, in any way, as Harry and Serena seem inseparable, even when we force them to be. He was here the night before last as well. It seems very likely that those two are closer than any of us here know."

"He was here the night of the meeting?" Albus asked. "Why didn't you inform me of this."

"I didn't know that he was here more than a few moments until I talked to Dobby today." Remus said.

"Dobby!" Albus called. When the elf appeared he looked at him kindly. "Would you be able to tell us where Harry is?"

"I is not knowing sir." Dobby said. "I is only knowing when he was here. He is not telling me where he is going, only that is he be needing Dobby, he would be calling him."

"Calling you, Dobby?" Dumbledore asked.

"Yes sir. He is giving Dobby a special mirror to be using." Dobby said, showing Dumbledore the mirror. "He is saying it lets me talk to him if I is needed."

"Could I use that Dobby?" Albus asked.

Dobby seemed to be thinking a moment. "I is only allowing that if I is to be staying close. Dobby was told always stay close to the mirror. Harry sir told me not to be leaving it anywhere."

"That is fine Dobby. You can stand right next to me while I use it. Is that close enough?" Albus said and Dobby nodded, handing Dumbledore the mirror. "Harry Potter." Dumbledore said.

"Dumbledore?" Harry asked.

"Yes, Harry." Dumbledore said.

"Good form. Tell me you didn't steal it from Dobby though." Harry said.

"No, Harry I did not steal it. Dobby is actually standing right next to me. He is keeping his word to you." Dumbledore said smiling.

"Tell him I said thank you, and that his services are probably more needed there at the moment." Harry said. Dumbledore repeated the message to Dobby who smiled.

"Why did you take this adventure, Harry?" Dumbledore said.

"Seemed like a good plan. Fun and freedom before the fall, before the war gets too close." Harry said, smiling sadly. "A chance to live a life with only friends and a girlfriend, away from people following me. Even for a small time."

"The children's parents are worried for them though, Harry." Dumbledore said.

"Didn't you tell them they're safe with me and..." Harry paused. He looked to the side, then smiled and nodded. "With me and Tonks?"

The people in the room gasped. "Tonks isn't dead?" was said by more than one person. This caused an uproar that caused Dumbledore to sigh. "Harry, would you and Nymphadora please come to Grimmauld Place? None will force you to stay, and no one can read your mind as you know."

"Ask her." Harry said as Serena's face popped up.

"Nymphadora?" Dumbledore said. She seemed to think for a moment then whispered to Harry. Harry came back to the mirror.

"One thing. She doesn't want anyone to say anything about me and her, and she wants your promise that we will not be forced to stay."

"You have my word." Dumbledore said.

"Okay." Harry said smiling. "Me and Tonks will be right there, also, mind telling them her new name?"

"It will be done, how long will you take?" Dumbledore asked.

"A few minutes as we were just getting ready for-" Harry stopped. "For bed."

"I see, tell your friends you are leaving as well. I will see you soon." Dumbledore said, Harry nodded and faded from the mirror. "Well friends, I see she is ready to tell you all the truth. Nymphadora Tonks was never really dead, not technically. More permanently changed. Here is the small version of the story..."

Harry groaned at the idea of having to leave. This was going to be another problem altogether. Harry accepted that he was in love with a person who used to be his godmother, because she was not that person anymore. He only hoped the others saw it that way too. He also wasn't too happy with Dumbledore's timing, as they were entertaining themselves with trying something Serena found in a book in Sirius' study. Now there was a man who Harry admired more than ever. He saw more than a few of those positions with remarks scribbled in the corner like 'this was fun', 'gotta try this again' and Harry's personal favorite 'WOW'.

"Dumbledore's a good man, but he has such a way about calling at the absolute worst time." Serena said, breathing heavily still.

"I agree." Harry said, groaning again before getting dressed.

"You know, one day, when this war is over, me and you are going to spend a week with that book." Serena said, smiling slyly. "And we are not leaving that room till we have tried every one in the book."

"Stop or I'll start traveling through wizard London screaming for Voldemort to come and face me now, so the fun can begin." Harry said, grinning.

"What makes you think that's not a good plan? It would definitely catch him off guard, especially if you went in your current position." Serena said, pointing just under his waist. "Good to know I still have that effect."

Rolling his eyes, Harry finished dressing, while Serena did the same. When they were both dressed they were going to tell the others. Harry went to Ron and Hermione's room but once he heard sounds coming from the door he decided that wasn't the best idea, not wanting to interrupt whatever they were doing. Serena seemed to have accidentally interrupted something, coming from the hallway, blushing.

"They're, uh, a bit preoccupied." Serena said.

"Same with the other two." Harry said.

"Great everyone is busy but us, who have to go hang out with old people." Serena said frowning.

"I know, such is the price of maturity." Harry said sadly.

Serena laughed. "God help us if we are the mature ones." She said. Harry nodded and took her hand.

When the two appeared in the middle of the kitchen, Harry had the feeling of wanting to move right back to the flat. Everyone just glared at the two making them feel even more uncomfortable than they thought they would be. Dumbledore smiled at them though, as well as Remus. Harry, taking a deep breath, fell into the marauder attitude.

"Well, if your not happy to see us why are you all visiting our house?" Harry asked lazily.

"I know, here looking ungrateful to see us, probably running poor Dobby and Winky ragged. Talk about unthankful guests." Serena said, sounding extremely bored and insulted.

"There's no need for that you two." Remus said. "They just heard about who Serena was, and they are angry at knowing that their friend left them in the dark for so long."

"Some friends." Serena said angrily. "Always 'Tonks, be this person' or 'Tonks we need a spy that looks like this'. They were my friends because of what I was, not who." She spat viciously at them. "They're all just angry that I can't do it anymore."

Remus was shocked at this sudden change in her attitude. He had never heard her speak this way, as Serena or Tonks. It was quite unnerving actually. Harry stood beside her, glaring at the others, as if daring them to speak against her. Molly was first to speak on the whole situation.

"I don't care whether you are Tonks or not. I just want to know that my children are safe!" She said angrily, quickly waving her finger in Serena's face.

"Molly, DONT DO THAT!" Remus shouted. She turned and faced him, seeing his eyes, she backed from the girl quickly.

"Anyone else only want to know about us and the other four?" Harry asked coldly. Few people raised their hands. "You stay, those who don't, get the hell out. If I see anyone act in anything but a happy and cheerful manner towards either of us, I will make you see what anger can do in the right hands. Understood?" He said. Those not staying quickly left.

Serena, seeing that they left, began laughing, and Harry joined her. "You definitely have a way with people, love." She said.

"It works well when its needed." Harry said laughing. Harry waved his hands and chairs came for the people standing to sit. He sat next to Remus with Serena sitting on him. As the others sat down Harry saw all the Weasley's, save the two at the flat and Percy, Mr. and Mrs. Granger, as well as a few people Harry recognized as his watchers.

Serena smiled at them all. "So whatcha wanna know?" She asked cheerfully.

"Where are our children?" Arthur asked quickly.

"Wrong question." Harry said. "We can't tell you, not so much because of us. Remus knows we are actually safer with no one knowing where I am. They swore as did we that it would remain a secret."

"I meant why aren't they with you." Arthur said.

"They were..." Harry said, looking at Serena with pleading eyes.

"They were doing what we were doing before we were so rudely interrupted." Serena said, still cheerful. Remus smirked and looked at Harry.

"I see." Remus said. "No wonder it took you some time to get here."

"Nah, couldn't finish Moony, Dumbledore sort of killed that whole moment." Harry said, laughing now. "Sir you have the most horrid timing."

"I am sorry Harry. I did not know." Dumbledore said.

"They aren't" Molly said, her eyes wide.

"Yup they are." Serena said. "Not really the first time for any of them. Well maybe for Neville, I'm not too sure." Serena said.

"Serena, love," Harry said calmly, "You are putting your foot in it. Our friends have to go home to these parents. Only me and you have someone as great as Moony, who just laughs and say 'Good going'."

"Shit! I forgot about that." Serena said looking down. "It probably is their first times, actually their probably not even really doing any but sleeping, or maybe playing chess." She added, sounding like she was trying to convince herself as well.

This caused Remus to start laughing. The other parents looked at him shocked. "Well, at least we know that these two aren't lying, well at least not until the last thing Serena said anyway." Remus said.

"I do not believe these are the answers we are looking for." Dumbledore said. "Are you children really alright?"

"Yes sir, just today we went and collected everything we needed for where we are staying." Harry said, then looked at Remus. "I got my license and a car yesterday mate. Beautiful car as well."

"Congratulations." Remus said.

"Also, Hermione, Ginny and Harry can cook. Quite delicious meal tonight." Serena said smiling. She kissed Harry on the cheek. "Excellent job they did. Hermione and Harry are teaching us about some of the muggle things tomorrow. Amazing things really. Something about 6 inches around and perfectly flat holds an amazing play."

"Really!" Mr. Weasley said, suddenly very interested. "Could I come and learn about these things as well. You could blindfold me, or close all the windows, I really would love to see some of these things."

"Arthur!" Mrs. Weasley yelled.

Harry and Serena laughed. "Sorry, Maybe when we are about to leave we will bring you to see everything we have. I'm sure the Grangers have all these things, maybe they could give you a display of them. After all, with the way Ron and Hermione are getting on, you might be related soon." Harry said easily.

"Does anyone suspect you six are not muggles?" Dumbledore asked.

"No, of course not." Serena said. "We are very careful to act as muggle as possible, except Harry, who uses magic for some things. Even he doesn't do it unless we are at home."

"No one is even looking for us there. Its the perfect cover, sir. We are six students on vacation from a school not far from there. At the end of the summer we will return to school and if we like the place we will pay for the entire time we are away and come back the next summer." Harry said.

"Is that your plan or your cover?" Dumbledore asked.

"A little of both really. It's nice to have a place with electricity, as I grew quite fond of things like that when I was young." Harry said.

"I like it too. The telly is an amazing thing! It can do so many different things." Serena said.

"Is there any way we can talk to all of you children?" Dumbledore asked.

"Yes. The phone. If Mr. and Mrs. Granger permit it of course." Harry said.

"I don't mind, but it would need to be done on Sundays." Mrs. Granger said.

"Is that acceptable?" Harry asked everyone. They all nodded eagerly. "Alright, Sunday afternoons, around two o'clock?."

"We could go to their house then." Mrs. Weasley said.

"Alright then, that works out." Harry said. "I wanted to apologize to you all. I came up with the idea, but we were all involved in the plan. Serena decided how, Hermione decided it had to be a muggle place, Ginny decided the town, and Ron decided that it should be owl proof. Aside from giving the idea, I only decided the time. The only person completely guilt free is Neville. He thinks we all have permission to do this like he did.

"I'm sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Granger, for not letting you in. Hermione said you would agree to it. I was afraid you would want to know where we were going. I don't want anyone but us six to know we are there. It is only for all of our safety, I assure you. Hopefully by next summer, I will have finished this and we can all have a nice dinner together. Hopefully we will be celebrating the end of the war, as well as many other things." Harry said smiling. "I also hope you can forgive us for being so cruel to you all as to hide it and make you worry. I just had faith that Dumbledore and Moony would figure out the plan as soon as they saw. Apparently they did."

"Harry, you did a very bad thing, this plan." Mrs. Weasley said. "It is not an easy thing to forgive. May I ask, would you have asked us about this if it weren't such a necessity for you to hide?"

"Of course. Well maybe not." Harry said thinking. "If it weren't for me needing to hide I might not have come up with the plan at all. I might have just gotten everyone together here, and dealt with people watching over me. That's another thing I'm hiding from. People are always watching me to make sure I'm safe, and that bothers me immensely at times. I just wanted one time where I didn't have to wonder if someone was watching me if I wanted to just hang out with Serena and...well, you know."

"We need to go, Harry. Long day tomorrow." Serena said standing up calmly. "Sorry we couldn't stay longer. Please let us know when the Hogwarts letters come. Neville's will come here as well. We will come and pick them up and coordinate a good time for the Order and us to get them. All school stuff is on me and Harry this year after all." She said smiling.

"Gotta go guys, need some sleep." Harry said smiling.

"I never said sleep!" Serena said, laughing.

"Well either way a bed is needed." Harry said.

"Harry!" Mrs. Weasley said appalled.

"Sorry Mrs. Weasley." Harry said smiling. "Maybe we should discuss this at home love?"

"Certainly. Bye everyone!" Serena said and kissed Harry on the lips as they disappeared.

"Those children are going to be worse than last year when they return to Hogwarts." Remus said.

"Yes, I agree, and now their are five of them, all learning behavior from those two." Albus said.

"Oh dear, my poor daughter." Molly said.

"At least their honest." Remus said. "Sometimes a little too honest."

The next morning Harry and Serena woke up early, but chose to stay in bed for a while. They started talking relaxingly about the future and what would happen. They jokingly said they would marry and have ten children for a while, until they ran out of names at five. They talked about what was happening now, the war, the way they were getting on. Anything to say to each other to keep them in bed for a while longer.

After a few more things to talk about the discussion changed to subjects of a more sexual nature, and that tended to start up a whole other reason for staying in bed. Afterwards they had another wonderful shower causing them to start up again, and when they were finished and finally ready to face their friends they headed into the living room.

"Morning." Serena said, her breathing still slightly ragged.

"Morning, mates." Harry said easily falling into his chair as Serena fell over him.

"So, Gin, how is he?" Serena asked quickly. Ginny blushed a deep shade of red and Neville ran from Ron instantly.

Harry trying to save Neville from certain death jokingly said. "Nev, I still got her first!" to which Ginny only blushed deeper. This brought Ron back to the living room, glaring at Harry.

"Harry, I told you we were gonna talk about that." Ron said through gritted teeth.

"Okay then, but first tell me, how is Hermione?" Harry asked. Ron blushed quickly. "If your embarrassed I'll talk about my times with Serena to help you out. It's really quite amazing, she does this thing with her tongue where she-"

"Never mind, Harry." Ron said and left the room quickly.

"Your best mate is a bit of a prude." Serena said.

"Only in front of other people." Hermione said softly.

"Really! I want details." Serena said looking rather interested while Hermione blushed this time.

"How can you two not be embarrassed to talk about this stuff?" Ginny asked confused.

"Trust me after you get interrupted by Dumbledore, you are never embarrassed again." Harry said laughing.

Serena returned to her comfortable position of draping herself on Harry's lap. "Oh yeah, that reminds me Gin. The Order knows who I am now." She said easily. "You can tell the rest of this lot if you feel like it."

"Maybe at dinner, so you can blush when they find out how old you really are." Ginny said laughing.

"Hey what about our training session today? Aren't we all to learn muggle stuff today?" Harry said, quickly changing the subject.

"oh yes, sorry about that. I'll get Ron and Neville and then we can start." Hermione said smiling.

At dinner that night, Ginny told everyone who Serena was, or used to be. They all thought it was hilarious, and no one seemed angry about it in the least. On the contrary, they were happy to know that one of their best friends became an auror before the age of 17. They all had a wonderful time, until it came to using the stuff they were taught about that day.

The next week was spent with Harry and Hermione often laughing at their friends. Neville swore that cd's wanted to drag him inside the player, Ron once said the telly had it in for him when it would keep turning itself off when he started setting the sleep timer, Ginny said the computer was broke on more than one occasion when she was still learning about passwords, and Serena kept claiming the DVD player was trying to bite her.

Harry found it amazing that such wise wizards would be so easily confused by things that seemed so simple to him. Then he remembered his first day in the wizarding world and put this idea aside. He was just as clueless as they were about things he knew about. Harry decided it must depend on what world your from.

After they got used to things, it got a bit slow. Harry thought the words that normally meant that trouble was building up. He often saw the same look in Serena's eyes that he saw in the mirror. He began to think up something to make sure this didn't become a permanent problem, knowing this area was in for a great deal of trouble.

Harry and Serena were bored.
