You've leveled up your bridge to 100. The bridge can be upgraded when you meet all the conditions.
Harry was put out and annoyed he walked back to the Hole. He'd just collected the tolls from both sides of the bridge. He rubbed his eyes he was sleeping better these days but he was still exhausted most of the time. He went into the Hole and took his shoes off and put them in the cubby hole with the others. He then went into the sitting room to see a fire going in there somewhat decorated living room. They had a couch and chairs and a table now at least though they were nothing to look at. Hermione was just finishing up dinner. Harry had been teaching her to cook and it was her night.
"Here's our money." He told Severus and Hermione as he entered the kitchen.
Here there were now cabinets, dishes, a sink, the appliances, and a long table. It looked like a Hobbit's kitchen from what they had read.
"Welcome back, Harry." Hermione beamed. "I know you hate it but it's soup tonight. We had a good harvest and I couldn't resist. After this I want you to wash up and relax in the bath. Aragorn and Gandalf, are do back tomorrow. You want to be all clean when they get here."
Harry blushed and nodded.
"Severus and I have already had our turns so take your time," Hermione informed. "Did you brew that bath potion you read about in that book?"
"Yes." Harry nodded. "I've been using it every night since I got the book. It's ... working."
They ate Hermione's stew which was rather good compared to her other foods.
Harry added his potion to the bathwater that was waiting for him when he got into the bathroom. After doing his business he got in. He hissed as the potions worked.
Hermione and Severus had known he was hiding behind glamours. They didn't ask about it but they wanted him healed so they let him do what he would with his healing.
Harry let his glamours drop to show that his skin had some healing burns. With this potion, the rest of the burns should be healed. Harry was glad of this of course but now that the burns were gone all the way he could see all the scars on his body. He hated that. When the pain eased and faded he washed and then got out. He dried and dressed in his new boxers and a tank top. He used another potion of the same kind on his face. Then brushed his teeth and sighed as he stared at himself in the mirror. He recast his glamours and left the bathroom. He went down the hall until he came to the first left he went down to the end of the hall and into his bedroom.
His bed was a hammock just a large sheet tied to two posts next to a window. He went over and got into it. It rocked him until he was more relaxed and almost asleep.
Here are some things you can upgrade and buy.
Harry upgraded the door to the Hobbit Hole. Huan came in through the doggy door and ran to his bed under Harry's hammock.
Door to Home-100
Meet the conditions to upgrade!
Harry cursed he was getting a lot of that lately. He was glad that he could upgrade the couch and chairs and sighed in defeat when they were back to level 1. He did some of the same in the Kitchen. These leveled up from use and didn't cost much to upgrade. He went through all of the rooms that they'd built and upgraded everything he could which was a lot. His bed even got an upgrade which made his back feel a bit better. He looked at what to buy.
"I don't know." Harry yawned his bed was still rocking gently. He was sure that Severus and Hermione had charmed it to rock him to sleep and cursed both of them. "Let's see oh, look at this. Bookshelves. We have an empty room that we just finished." He put a bookshelf in that room and filled it with the books that they'd bought over the long months that they'd been here. Harry had lost track of how many but he was sure it wasn't more than four months. With that done he chose to save the rest of the money and was soon drifting off. "Night, Huan."
Huan snored at hm having already fallen asleep.
Harry woke to a loud cheer. He moaned and got up and dressed for the day. He couldn't say he'd gotten any more comfortable wearing these Middle-Earth clothing. He left his room with Huan. Sure enough, when they found Hermione she was in the new library. She hugged Harry thanking him.
"Oh, thank you, Harry!" She cried.
"It's no problem. When I saw it I just had to buy it." Harry explained. "Now it won't hold many books until it's upgraded of course but this should hold for now. I suppose we could stock our other books in here as well I suppose. Have you seen that book on wards we picked up from those elves?"
"I have it set out," Hermione answered as they headed for the kitchen. "Gandalf was going to teach us some magic remember?"
Harry shrugged he didn't but he'd be happy to learn.
It was after breakfast and going on noon when Gandalf and Aragorn arrived. Harry was just lowering the bridge and letting some goblins across. He thought he might be putting on some muscle by doing this.
The Goblin nodded at Harry.
"Now don't go closing that bridge, Laervir" Aragorn called.
Harry went crimson but didn't close the bridge until they had crossed it. He blushed worse when Aragorn got off the cart he and Gandalf had been riding on and helped him close the bridge. Their hands brushed.
Aragorn and Gandalf visited often whenever they were in the area which was often these last months. Aragorn had taken to him and had started calling him Laervir. Harry thought Aragorn was very hot and often spent time with him when he was around.
Harry lead them back to the Hole and they tied up the horses who were pulling the cart. He then took them inside with everything they had brought with them. Harry stumbled and almost collapsed Aragorn had just caught him.
"Have you had your water today?" Aragorn demanded as he laid Harry on the couch.
Severus cursed and quickly readied Harry's water for him in a clay bowl that was normal size for them. He handed it off to Aragorn who lifted Harry's head and helped him drink the water.
Harry moaned and drank down the always ice cold and refreshing drink. He slowly sipped at it knowing better than to gulp it. He felt better when the first bowl was done but he still couldn't move that well his head was spinning.
"Can he have more?" Gandalf inquired.
"Yes, but just this one," Severus informed. "then not another for two hours. You idiot boy."
Harry gave him a lopsided and a weak smile.
Aragorn ran fingers through the sleeping Harry's hair it was longer than it had been when he'd first seen him. He was so curious as to how Harry had gotten so sick. He was sitting in Harry's room next to Harry's bed. He liked Harry's bed. He spoke in elvish to Harry wishing him good dreams and deep rest. He then leaned down and kissed Harry's forehead.
Aragorn left the room and went to find the others. He found them in the living room he sat down and took up a book from his pack. They were here to teach them magic but he had just come to spend time with Harry because he knew that Gandalf wouldn't let Harry learn much in his state.
Harry walked into the Sitting Room to see everyone. He walked over to the chair Aragorn was sitting in. He always seemed to be drawn to him and he had no idea why.
"Ah, Harry you're awake," Gandalf said, with a smile. "How do you feel?"
"I"m sorry." Harry sighed. "I am feeling a little better. I don't suppose you'll let me learn some of those wards today? I won't ask you to teach me the hard magic as I am clearly in no condition."
Gandalf gave him a smile and a nod.
"Let's see your wand then." Gandalf chuckled as Harry sat down on the couch and readied himself some water. Harry handed over his wand. Gandalf spent a long while studying it. "No, I don't think so." Harry sipped at his water and watched him. "No, I do not think this wand is a good fit for you."
"It chose me." Harry insisted.
"It chose you because it was told to," Gandalf said more to himself than to Harry. "No, you were never meant to have this wand."
Harry silently cursed as he took some crackers and cheese to eat. There was always food about for him to eat because Hermione and Severus had figured that if they pressured him he wouldn't eat at all so they just set food about with preservation charms on them knowing that he would eventually snack.
"I do not like these wands." Gandalf said, "You should have proper staves if you are to use magic. Who would learn with these?"
"They are easier to hide when going out among normal folk," Severus explained. " Our teachers taught us to use these. They are preferred to use our magic. "
Gandalf hummed in thought. He didn't think this was convenient though he supposed if they were teaching magic this way it couldn't be wrong.
"I will teach you magic on the staves first then you will teach me magic this way." Gandalf compromised.
Hermione agreed readily hoping that she didn't have to beg Severus and Harry. She was thrilled when they readily agreed with her. She forced herself not to cheer loudly.
