A/N Thought I'd put up one more chapter as a Happy Christmas to all of you who read and review. You're a godsend. Thank you so much for your help and advice.
Ch. 16
Wednesday 1 July 1998
The next morning, Teddy and his godfather got up early. This was good for Harry though as he and his best mate had to be at Gringotts before nine. While Harry was feeding his godson, he was talking to him about the next few weeks. "I don't know Ted. It looks like I won't be around much in the next few weeks but I promise you that we will have every morning together, okay kiddo?" Since Ted was drinking, he didn't make a sound. Harry sighed. "I'm trying to make this world a better place for you but I don't know how we're doing. Hopefully, having a good place for the orphans to live will help and Sirius will be leading the fight in Wizengamot. I just feel I've got to get as much done as I can before school starts."
They went downstairs and Harry made breakfast. At the table, Harry asked, "So, what are you and Luna planning today, Mione?"
"We're going to Flourish & Blott's to look for help with extending the life of a charm." She smiled excitedly.
"So, research." Sirius looked sad. "It's summer, girls, haven't you done enough research? Shouldn't you play a little?"
"This is what we consider fun. Just because we've got our heads in books, doesn't mean we aren't enjoying each other's company." Luna explained.
"So, you actually talk and act like teens while you're out?" Sirius inquired.
"Yes, Uncle Sirius. Don't worry about us." Mione smiled. She knew Sirius thought they were working too hard.
"I suggest, since Dan and I are going to a game Saturday, you four do something fun together." Sirius responded.
"Yeah. Let's go to that Westminster place you were talking about Hermione." Nev offered excitedly.
"Sure. That sounds fun." Luna agreed.
"Okay." Hermione smiled. She'd turn them into historians yet.
"Well, we've got to go. The first meeting is in 20 minutes." Harry said as he got up.

They apparated to right outside of Gringotts and nodded to the guards that let them in. They then wound their way back to Ted's office. When Swordback opened the door, they saw Venus already there.
"Good. Glad to see you got here on time." Venus smiled.
"Yeah. Who are we interviewing first?" Harry asked.
"Alcott Architecture." Ted provided. "They are a pair of brothers that have been doing this for about 10 years."
"Are they big enough to handle our job?" Nev inquired.
"Yes. They work with some of the biggest contractors in the country."
Swordback came in. "The Alcott's are in the conference room."
Harry looked at Nev with determination. "Let's get this over with."
They followed Swordback in. As he announced them, the Alcott's just sat there, their feet on the table. Being put off a bit, didn't most people stand and shake the prospective employers' hands? Harry said a little harshly, "Hello. Are you the Alcott's?"
"Of course, we are." The one on the left said as though he expected to be recognised.
"Then why are you sitting with your feet on the table?" 'Lord Longbottom' came out to play. At the tone in Nev's voice, one put his feet down and stood up.
"Are you the owners of the firm?" Harry asked, irritated at having his time wasted.
"Our father is, why do you ask?"
"Just wanted to know who to tell about your atrocious manners." Harry said as he got up and left the room.
As Nev got up they heard "Wait just a minute, you didn't even look at our plans?" in a whiny voice.
"We don't work with people like you, people without manners." Nev replied haughtily. "You may leave."
When Nev got back to Ted's office, Harry was already floocalling Mr. Alcott. He could hear Harry's heated voice. The words boorish, uncivilized, unkempt and rude were all mentioned. Nev couldn't help grinning. If anything, being around Gran had helped Harry's vocabulary.
"I presume it didn't go well?" Ted asked.
"Are you listening to Harry's tone?" Nev asked incredulously.
"It sounds like they weren't professional." Ted laughed at the look on his face.
"Ya, just a little. Didn't bother to get up to shake our hands. Feet on the table. Whining."
Harry finally came to sit next to him. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly. When he finally calmed down, he asked, "Why did their manners drive me crazy? Bad manners never mattered before—I was friends with Ron for 7 years—so why now?"
"Maybe it's the company you keep. You're used to better manners now that you've been exposed to Wizengamot member?" Nev pondered.
At that, Harry brightened, "Yeah that's got to be it."
"Should we head out to the Alley now? The next interview isn't until 2." Nev prompted.
"Yeah." He looked over at Ted and Venus. "We'll see you around 2." The boys walked out of Gringotts and went towards WWW and MIT. WWW was busy like it always was. MIT still had a line out the door.
"Boy are the girls going to be pleased with the profits this week." Nev whistled. "It opened five days ago and still has a line out the door."
"Harry! Nev!" They heard from behind them. Turning around, their faces brightened—it was the loves of their lives running towards them. As the girls launched themselves, the boys braced for impact.
"Hey Mione."
"Hey Luna." The boys responded together.
"Why are you guys here?" Luna asked.
"The first interview was a dud." Harry replied. At the questioning looks, he continued. "The representatives had Ron's manners. I wasn't going to work with them, so we sent them away." He shrugged.
"He even called their boss and told him off using what Gran calls 'big-boy words'." Nev laughed.
"Let's go home; I want to see Teddy." Harry turned on the spot and apparated home. He went into the kitchen and saw Dobby working. "Hey Dobby, do you know where Teddy is?"
"In the game room Harry Potter Sir." He smiled as Harry went upstairs. When he got there, Dora was sitting there with a blond woman her own age dressed in Auror robes.
"Hi Dora. Where's—There he is!" Harry said as he spied his godson in his bouncer. He picked the little man up. "Hey little one. How're you this morning?" He asked as Teddy grinned and put his hand out to touch Harry's face. He pulled at the stubble Harry kept on his cheek. "You like playing with that, don't you?" he snuggled his godson. "You are such a good boy Teddy."
"So, did he even say hi to you Dora?" He heard Nev ask.
"I did! I just found Teddy right after that." Harry returned simply. "I have my priorities right." This got the group laughing as Harry sat down with the little baby.
Dora just laughed. "Merlin help the person that gets between him and Teddy."
He looked over at the young woman and held out his hand. "Hi, I'm Harry Potter and this little man is my godson." He introduced himself.
"Hi, I'm Brianna." She replied.
"Are you American?"
"Yeah. My mum's American and we've lived there most of my life. I came here a year ago because they were desperate for Aurors."
"Well, welcome to Britain." Harry offered.
"Thanks. I like it here and my folks are thinking of moving back. My mum is a muggle healer, so she has to take some exams to work here but they should be here by Yule." Brianna informed them.
"Hello, hello, hello!" came from the entrance hall.
"And that is Cousin Sirius." Dora groaned.
"Up here!" Mione called as they heard boots on the stairs.
As Sirius came into the room, he blanched at Brianna. He strode over to her, knelt down and kissed her hand. "Hello beautiful." He looked into her eyes.
"Sirius!" Dora snapped. "Stop that right now!"
Sirius looked over at Dora. "What? I call 'em like I see them. And your friend is beautiful." He smiled charmingly at the newbie who blushed a scarlet red. "And what might your name be?"
"Brianna" she replied in a strangled voice.
"Down mutt!" Harry tried to demand through his giggles. He could see why girls flocked to him in school.
Sirius looked over at his godson. "Just because you have your life partner, doesn't mean we all do."
He sat close to Brianna. "Are you staying for lunch?" He asked.
"Yes. I'm off today and thought I'd visit Dora and Teddy."
"Lunch is served." Dobby popped in and popped out. They all went down to the kitchen.
"So, the Aurors are saying you might be joining us Harry, at least when you're done with school." Brianna prompted.
"Bloody Hell no!" He looked at her shocked face and laughed. "I thought I might want to in 5th year but I'm done fighting bad guys. I may be teaching DADA but I won't be going after the idiots myself."
"That's too bad." They talked more generally about her job, the girls' shop, Wizengamot and the orphanage.
Soon though it was time to go back to Gringotts.

The boys got back to Gringotts in plenty of time to get ready for their meeting. This one went better than this morning but that wasn't saying much. The architects were professional and had good ideas but both Nev and Harry got the feeling that they would be difficult to work with. They said they exclusively worked with one contractor and would work with no one else. They were just too rigid for the boys, so they sent the pair off with a maybe.
After they saw them out, the boys went to Ted's office. "So, what'd you think?" Venus asked.
"Way too rigid." Nev began.
"I just felt they wouldn't do what we asked them to." Harry concurred.
"Those were my thoughts too." Venus contributed. "Well, it seems, so far the Baylees are going to win the bid." She laughed.
"Well, we have two more tomorrow." Harry observed.
"Alright. It's five o'clock and you two probably want to get home to my grandson; so, we will see you tomorrow at 8.45, okay?" Ted commented.
"Yeah. If I can pull myself away from him." Harry smirked as Ted and Venus laughed.
"You think he's joking, don't you?" Nev confirmed when they nodded. "He's not. He has the hardest time saying goodbye to the little man, it's kind of funny." Harry just stuck out his tongue and turned to leave.
"I'm seeing Teddy!" He called behind him as the other three laughed.
HP
When the boys got home, Dora was just coming down with Teddy. As she handed him off to Harry, he asked, "Is Brianna still here?"
"No but she wants an invite to family dinner Sunday." Dora laughed. "She's got it bad for the mutt."
"That'd be great." Harry joined in the laughter as they headed up to the game room.
She turned on the music as Nev racked the balls and took the first shot. "So, how did this afternoon's meeting go?" Dora asked.
"Not as bad as this morning but not as well as yesterday." Harry informed her. "They were just too rigid for our taste."
"Well, it's good you know that before hiring."
"S'ppose" Harry mumbled as he took a shot. Soon the girls came home from the Burrow and plopped down on the couch.
"Hey, Mione. You look tired. Can I help?" Harry asked sitting next to her.
"No." Mione sighed. "Molly is just sometimes—too energetic."
"I can imagine. I can also imagine that having only Ginny at home doesn't help." He chuckled.
"She's a big help though." Luna supplied. "She knows an awful lot about charming things to work for long periods."
"We timed her spelled spoon for 3 hours nonstop." Mione added.

The next morning, the young men strode into Gringotts at 8.45 ready for their first appointment. They checked in with Ted and Venus before they took their seats at the conference table. Swordback brought in the representatives from Durham Architecture.
Harry and Nev got up and shook the couple's hands. "Hello, I am Harry Potter and this is my associate Neville Longbottom." He introduced them
The man said. "I am Bruce Durham and this is my wife Helene." Everyone sat down.
"I find it interesting that out of the four firms we've talked to, three are family run. Do you know why?" Harry inquired.
"I think art runs in families and art is a big part of what we do." Helene answered. "Our daughter is currently at Hogwarts and is planning on apprenticing with us when she gets out."
"Oh. What year is she?"
"Fifth."
"Interesting." Harry took a breath. "Well, what do you have for us?" They were shown lots of plans that were very similar to the Baylees. They really put work into the overall atmosphere, not just one area.
"Look at this Harry." Nev showed him a drawing of the game room after looking at all the drawings for an hour or two. "Look familiar?" He laughed.
Harry looked. "Oh Merlin! That could be our game room!"
"Excuse me." Bruce interrupted. "What do you mean by that?" He looked a little nervous.
"We have a game room at home that looks an awful lot like this. You even have the Quidditch posters my godfather added to the room." Harry laughed.
"Oh. Well, I guess we are on the same page then." Helene added.
"Yeah. I think we are." Harry smiled. "We have to take these drawings and look them over with the Head of Operations, so we'll have to get back to you. It will probably be tomorrow or Monday."
They shook hands and said their farewells before leading the Durhams out of the conference rooms. Nev and Harry then joined Ted and Venus.
"These are great drawings and nearly as good as the Baylees." Harry said as Venus took a look.
"Oh, I like my office. It's big." Venus commented. "Do you think you can work with them?"
Nev and Harry looked at each other and seemed to come to an understanding that Ted and Venus weren't privy to. "I think so." Nev sighed. "Damn, I hope this afternoon's appointment isn't as good. Then we'll have three we need to choose from."
Ted laughed. "Isn't every appointment supposed to be good?"
"Not when you have to choose who gets the job." Harry groaned. "This is hard." He mock-whined.
Venus just looked at him. But she had the same look on her face her aunt had right before the sorting. The 'behave or else' look.
"Okay, Venus stop that look. It's scary." Harry said.
"Then stop whining young man." Both boys simultaneously looked over their shoulders to see if the Professor was there. When they looked back, she burst out laughing.
"Not funny Venus. Stop channeling your aunt." Harry complained.
"But it's fun!" Venus laughed. She had so much fun channeling her aunt in front of these boys. Maybe it's because she's their Head of House that they are so cowed. Anyway, she loved it!
"Okay. We are going now. See you at 2." Nev stated as they left.
HP
They were really lucky. Neither boy nor Venus liked the afternoon appointment. They were thinking more of housing children rather than giving them a home; therefore, everything was very minimalistic in nature.
Their design plans were based more on St. Mary's than Hufflepuff House. Since both boys really wanted to stay away from the institutional look, they decided—even before talking to Venus—that they didn't want to use these plans.
After they had said goodbye to the architects, Nev and Harry went back to Ted's office. They sat down and looked at Venus.
"What do you think?" Harry asked the all-important question.
"Well, I think either the Baylee's or the Durham's would make good architects for what we want."
"Well, duh Venus." Nev snorted. "But which one? That is the current question." he grumbled as he brought out both portfolios.
They sat there looking at each portfolio very carefully, weighing the pros and cons of each.
"What it comes down to is who we think can manage this better, I think." Harry summed up about an hour later. "All three of us like the designs equally, we like the architects equally but the Baylees just seem to understand what we're looking for better." He looked around the table and got nods from Venus and Nev. "I think we should go with Baylee Architecture then." He closed the portfolio. "Is everyone agreed?"
"Yes." They both confirmed.
Nev and Harry looked at each other and grinned, reminding Ted of the grins Sirius and James used to share at times. According to Andi, the boys had known each other casually for seven years but were never friends. However, they had become best friends in the last 2 months—and it showed. They even seemed to think alike now. Ted just shook his head in wonder. These boys were going to change the world.
"Okay. That's brilliant." Harry looked at his watch. "I'll call Akron tomorrow morning and let him know. I'll ask him for a list of contractors he usually works with and we can set up those for next week. We should have contractors by the end of the week. Venus, have you started the hiring we need done?"
"Yes. I should have the Headmistress candidates for you by the end of next week." She smiled as she saw the young men relax.
"Good." Nev smiled. "I want to make sure we've hired everyone before we have to think about Hogwarts."
HP
When everyone was finally home for the evening, they congregated up in the game room.
"How'd your work go today Mione? Did you check on the shop?" Harry asked his girlfriend as she sat down next to him.
"Yeah. We went into the shop this morning and saw everything was okay. The deliveries are going to be made here tomorrow because they can't be delivered directly to the shop—Statute of Secrecy and all." Mione answered. "Dora will shrink them and floo them to MIT once they all arrive. We're using the garage as a temporary warehouse. We are going to the Burrow tomorrow and see how Molly does laundry." Luna and she grinned at each other.
"Do you have ideas on how to channel the magical energy to make it work?" Nev asked.
"We do. We just don't know if any will work." Luna answered.
"You two are too smart for your own good." Dora sighed shaking her head.
Sirius jumped up. "Oh my! I forgot." He exclaimed as he ran downstairs. Harry just started laughing at his godfather's weird reaction which started everyone else off.
"I wonder what he thought was so important?" Mione asked as they stopped laughing a few minutes later. Suddenly, they heard Sirius' boots clomping quickly up the stairs. When he got to the game room, he was panting. He flopped next to Hermione and dropped five old, worn notebooks on her lap.
"I found these in an old trunk. I don't know why I didn't remember this when you started converting things but Lily used to talk about bringing the wizarding world into sync with the muggle one but I never realised it went as far as it did." He finally stopped panting "I found these journals of hers and Remus' in an old trunk belonging to Jamie. When we moved out of Grimmauld, I brought a few trunks here that I knew had things from your parents, Harry. I thought I'd go through them and give them to you. I found those about three weeks ago and keep forgetting to give them to you. I think they should be helpful."
Hermione had been flipping through the pages since they were dropped on her lap. As Sirius finished talking, Harry looked over at her. "What's wrong love. You look agitated." To tell the truth, his Mione looked royally pissed off but Harry felt it better for his health not to say that.
Mione looked up at Sirius. "You mean to tell me you've had these since we got back from Australia but just didn't look at them, is that right?"
"Uh, yeah. That's what I said." He looked confused as he looked into her stormy eyes. Padfoot's going to get it, Harry thought mirthfully, recognising the signs of a Mione Meltdown.
"YOU KEPT THIS FROM US WHEN YOU KNEW WHAT WE WERE DOING?" Hermione stood up, glaring down at Sirius with her arms akimbo.
Sirius looked even more bewildered. "Yes. I had no idea what's inside those though."
"Only the answers to most of the problems we had with fixing the electronics! If we had had this it wouldn't have taken nearly as long." Hermione growled brandishing the notebook. "It looks like Lily had a few more answers we've been searching the bookstore for. And this thing is annotated as to where she got the information." She slapped him, much lighter than Harry would've guessed, on his shoulder and sat back down-away from him-as she went through the notebooks with Luna.
Sirius looked at Harry. "What just happened?"
Harry laughed at the mixture of sadness and confusion on his godfather's face. "You kept knowledge she needed from her. Don't be surprised if she doesn't talk to you until tomorrow."
A few minutes later, the girls looked at each other. "We need the patent office tomorrow." Hermione said.
"Why?" Nev asked.
"Because we have the solution to our current problem. Lily has created charms that will replace all the electronics in an appliance. Instead of needing to buy muggle appliances and convert them, we can have someone build the washer, for instance without any electronics—only the mechanisms- and charm them to work like their muggle equivalents." Luna answered. "Does your Gran have business contacts in the magical manufacturing sector?"
"Of course. Gran has contacts in every sector." Nev snorted. "And I know for a fact, she'll be more than willing to use her bullying prowess to help you two out."
"Bullying prowess?" Sirius tried to stop a chuckle but couldn't.
"What else would you call her ability to get exactly what she wants from everyone—even the most haughtily, stubborn, blood purist purebloods?"
"Stubbornness." Sirius paused. "Fearsomeness"
Nev shrugged. "You say to-may-toe, I say to-mah-toe." That got everyone laughing.
Dobby popped in and called the family to dinner. When they got down there, Hermione, who usually sits between Sirius and Harry, sat next to Nev across the table.
"She's still mad, isn't she?" Sirius asked his godson.
"Yes. Don't try talking to her now. Try tomorrow morning." He advised.
"I can't wait to give the washer and drier to Molly tomorrow." Luna said excitedly. "She's been such a help to us. Especially on what appliances housewives would want in their house. I think we should take her to Harrod's to look at their kitchen section. What do you think Hermione?"
"I think we need to buy her some proper clothes if we're going to do that." Hermione laughed. "She may get along fine in this world with her fashion but not the muggle world."
"Point taken." Luna laughed.
HP
When Harry woke up the next morning, Hermione was cuddled up to his side. Since he didn't have any appointments this morning, he decided to relax until Teddy woke him.
"You know," Mione said sleepily. "It's almost Teddy's third-month birthday. Should we have a party?"
"Yeah. That's a great idea love." He leaned down and kissed her. "We could even make it a surprise for Dora. What do you think?"
"Sounds good." She smiled as she pushed her hair out of her eyes.
"Might want to drop by the Aurors' office to ask Brianna who Dora's friends are so we can invite them. I'm a little concerned that Remus' death has pushed her away from her friends. She seems to only spend time with family or Brianna." Harry worried.
"Yeah. I know. Luckily Brianna's been here a few times or I would really worry." She kissed her lover. "I love you Harry."
"I love you too Mione." He said as he cuddled her closer.
"You are so warm. I can see spending the rest of my life cuddled like this." She snuggled closer.
"You can?" He asked excitedly.
"Can't you?" She asked warily.
"Yes. I picture us married and carrying you across the threshold of that four-bedroom out back. Soon."
"Why not the three-bedroom?" She asked curiously. She saw them in the bigger house too but wanted to know his reasoning.
"I want at least three kids, maybe 6 if my bride is willing?" He asked.
She was ecstatic—the same reason! "More than willing my love, as long as the pregnancies aren't hard." She looked at Harry and recognised the content look on his face. Her heart swelled with all she was feeling for him.
Sometimes, when Luna and she were getting so involved in their experiments, she tended to forget how glad she was to have such a loving boyfriend. But then there were days like this, when they were just enjoying each other's company, that she was so grateful that he truly understood her.
She looked at her watch. "Why isn't Teddy up yet? It's seven, doesn't he usually get up around six?"
"Yeah. I better go check." He reluctantly left the bed and pulled on pajamas. He headed upstairs when he heard Teddy whine from his wand. As he walked in the nursery, he saw Teddy wiggling around. "Hey little man." Harry whispered. Teddy stopped wiggling and looked from side to side. When he saw his godfather, he cooed happily and stretched his arms out for pick up. "Come on sweet boy. We'll get you changed and fed, then we can go fix breakfast for everyone."
When Harry and Teddy went to the kitchen, he sat in the bouncer as Harry went through the ritual of making breakfast. Since they now had a CD player in the kitchen, Harry and Teddy were listening to music as they cooked.
Soon, everyone was down in the kitchen eating breakfast. "So, are you girls going to the Burrow today to work on those charms?" Sirius asked.
"Yes. We have to figure out which charms work on what." Hermione responded.
"Well, that's good. And the first delivery is happening today." Dora put in. "Ang called yesterday and said PC World confirmed for 10.00 delivery and Appliance World will be here at 2.00. I'll be bringing everything to the shop after the drop off."
"Okay." Hermione agreed. "We need to go to the Burrow to see the steps Molly uses to do her laundry. Luna, you ready?"
"Yeah. What are you boys doing this morning?" she asked.
"I've got to call the Baylee's and see if they can offer up any contractors. I also want to go to the bookstore to see if I can get any books on management techniques." Harry responded.
"Why don't you boys bring lunch to the Burrow and we can set up the washer and dryer and eat before Arthur brings Molly home? All the kids that can are going to be there at 1.15 to see Molly's reaction. Fred and George are betting she'll faint." Hermione laughed.
"We can do that." Harry looked to Dobby, "Can you make us a lunch basket?"
"Of course, Harry Potter Sir." He bounced happily.
"I'll bring Teddy with me too."
HP
After the girls left for the Burrow and Sirius left for his committee meeting, Nev and Harry went into the study. They sat at their two desks.
Harry took out his mobile, dialed the number Akron gave him and put it on speakerphone. "Hello, Baylee Architects."
"Hi Akron. It's Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom. How are you today?"
"Good. What can I do for you?"
"Well, we'd like to talk to you sir." Nev said.
"Well then, I'm here to listen." He returned jovially.
"We wanted to let you know that we decided to go with your designs." Harry informed him.
"Well, thank you." They could hear the smile in his voice.
"I was wondering if we could get together today to go over expectations, possible contractors, timelines and such." Harry inquired.
"Of course. Would you like for us to come to you?" He asked.
"That would be wonderful. How about 10.00? The address is The Madhouse." Nev responded.
"The Madhouse?"
"Yeah. My Aunt named it when she made the floo address." Harry laughed. "It is apt though."
Akron just laughed. "Okay. We'll see you at 10." He said as they hung up.
"Better tell Venus. See if she wants in on this meeting." Nev chuckled as he dialed her number. Harry went pale thinking of the -disapproving- look both she and her Aunt could do when they're irritated.
"Right. Best call her now. I completely forgot her in the equation."
"Yeah. Not good to do with that family." Nev smiled as he talked to Venus. A few minutes later, he said, "She'll be here in a few."
"Come in!" Harry yelled at the knock on the door. Dora came in with Teddy.
"Hey can I leave this guy with you? I have a delivery at 10 and I don't want him hurt while they are unloading." She pleaded.
"Of course." Harry got up to take his godson. "Hi sweetie. Accio bouncer." He pointed his wand and saw the bouncer fly into the room. Teddy started giggling when he saw it coming. "You like that, do you?" At Teddy's giggle, he said, "Accio mobile" and his mobile came from the desk to his non-wand hand. Teddy just kept laughing.
"Okay, that's enough." Dora laughed. "You don't want to summon the whole house to you to satisfy a baby, do you?"
Harry paused in contemplation. "I don't see why not." He shrugged. "Accio-"
"Accio Harry's wand" Dora said as Harry's wand left his hand.
"Not funny Dora." He growled as he stalked over and took his wand.
"Then stop spoiling the child." Dora retorted as she left the room.
"Your mummy's mean." Harry whispered conspiratorially.
"I heard that!" Dora yelled.
"Let's rearrange these desks." Nev suggested. Currently the desks made a T with Harry and Sirius' desks making the long leg of the T and Nev's making up the short leg.
"You want to separate them into their own spaces?" Harry asked.
"I'm thinking we push Sirius' off toward the sitting area and put ours facing each other. Then we can clean them off and use our desks as a table when needed."
"Sounds good. It's not like you ever go back to Longbottom Estates to use the office there anyway." Harry laughed.
"That'll always be Gran's not mine." Nev laughed too. "Besides, we're doing so much together, it's a waste for me to live there." He answered as they levitated the desks around to their proper places.
