AN: Hi I'm Serena, and this fic is from a challenge from my web group. I am currently working on a total of 8 fics, so please bear with me. I like reader interactions and value your opinions. I would also like to suggest if you like Flaming then I have a couple of ideas for you to use the flame for. Light a match for light to see by, to build a fire to roast marshmellows for smores or for the warmth it can provide. You could light a scented candle to relax by. I write different types of Genre if you have a problem with it don't read it and Please no Flames about it either. I posted this fic on my web groups. If you would like to check out the groups go to my profile the one marked Multi-Fiction is the one where I'll post all of my fics at. No one is perfect so please be nice. Constructive criticism is one thing but to be rude is not the right thing to do. Thank you to my first few reviewers.

Thanks,

Serena (Rena)

This is where one teacher and several student will live in the muggle world for a few months. This is a challenge from a web group that I am currently in charge of. I hope you will enjoy. The rating may go up depending on how things go.

Chapter 2

The next morning at 4:30 found, Harry cleaning the four bed rooms upstairs. He was singing 'Bless The Broken Road' by Rascal Flatts (One of my favorite songs). Harry started by dusting the furniture.

'I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you'

Then he Started Vacuuming, as he started on the second verse. Even though there were silencing charms up Severus went up stairs because something felt off. He saw Harry working and wondered what is wrong with him. He stood in the door way trying to figure out this puzzle named Harry Potter. He seemed to know his way around that machine that made a lot of noise. If Harry was so spoiled why would he be so comfortable doing manual work.

'I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true'

Severus turned his thought in a different way. Where did he learn to sing like that? What might his other talents be? He did grow up to be a very handsome young man. His eye are an alluring emerald green. The kind to get lost in. His hair still incredibly messy, but in an interesting way. He grew to a respectable 6'0". He also put on some weight, so he didn't look light a good, strong, guest of wind could blow him away.

'Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.'

"Well, Potter I didn't know you could sing or clean like that. What other talents are you hiding. And what in Merlin's name are you doing up at this ungodly hour?" Severus asked.

Embarrassed at being caught he answered quietly "I could always sing, but I could never find a moment alone except while I was home alone. As for the cleaning I learned to clean house by the time I was three years old. I was never spoiled and if you were to go next door you wouldn't even know I lived there. There are no pictures of me or anything else of mine there it is all in my trunk. Amazing, isn't it, that someone can fit the first 17 years of life in one trunk." Harry said then continued wanting to change the subject . "As to why I'm up this early habit and nightmares. And before you ask, no I don't want or need a potion."

Shocked at all that he heard the one thing that he picked up on. "You don't want a potion to help you sleep?" Severus asked.

Harry laughed and said, "Out of all that I said you picked up on me not wanting a potion to help me. That is too much. OK, I know that the Dreamless Sleep Potion is highly addictive, and I'm also, immune to the milder sleeping potions." Harry then went back to finishing up the room. He took out his muggle notebook and made a list for what the room needed. Then he turned to Severus and said. "We need to figure out who is sleeping with who. There are 3 girls, 4 boys, and you. You will have to bunk with one of us guys. Well never mind there is a guest room on the first floor, and I'll take that one. You'll have a room to yourself then. You should probably let the girls have this room, and I'll add a bathroom to it so the girls and boys don't have to share. I'll probably add a bathroom to each room that way it will be easier. Your room should be the second one. That way you can keep your ears out for the other guys trying to sneak in to the girl's room. That is just a suggestion. I'll probably discuss this at lunch with everyone though. The rooms should be a natural color so there isn't any fighting over what color the room should be, unless they can agree on the color. That is only fair, plus I don't want to hear about how 2 colors clash. Ron, Neville, and Draco (room 3)if they decide to bunk together. The first aide room(room 4). They should each make a list of things they need and things they would like to have. I'll fix up the rest of the house in neutral colors. Maple and Cherry, I think would be good. The love seat and other furniture like that can be navy blue. You should fix the half of the basement up as a potions lab. I'll fix the other half up as a pantry, a mediation room and a fitness room. The attic can be used to store things." Harry started then looked at his watch. It is 6:30. I'll start cooking breakfast, and they should get up around 7. Some shops will open around 8 this morning. Vernon will leave by 7:30 and Petunia will know that some has moved in here in about 15 minutes." Harry took his notebook down stairs to the kitchen. He started on page one.

Each room will need:

Mattresses and bedding (Pillows, Sheets, ect…)
Dressers, bookcases and a bedside table

Room 4- The first aide room
Mattresses and bedding (Pillows, Sheets, ect…)
First aid supplies
A cabinet

The next page in the notebook.

Harry's room
Mattresses and bedding (Pillows, Sheets, ect…)
Stereo with cd player
Cd's
Laptop computer (the house is furnished with all of the utilities including Internet)
TV with dvd player
Dvd's
and anything else I can think of.

The next page was for the groceries.

Groceries
Eggs
Milk
Bacon
Sausage
Cereal (oatmeal, cream of wheat, grits, trix, lucky charms, ect…)
Meats (porkchops, chicken, hamburger, ect…)
Frozen foods (pizzas, frozen dinners, Ect…)
Fruits and vegetables
Drinks (Tea bags, sodas, ect…)

As Harry closed the notebook, Severus sat on a stool to watch what Harry was doing. First, Harry went over to the refrigerator and while taking out the eggs, bacon, sausage, butter, and jam. "What are those strange things in the room? What was that noisy thing you were using upstairs?" Severus asked. He had never really taken any interest in muggle things before. That is until now.

Harry just chuckled and said, "Well this is a refrigerator. It keep things like eggs, bacon, milk and other things like that from spoiling. The door above it is the freezer. It keeps things frozen and keeps it from spoiling even longer than the fridge." Harry took the items over to the stove and laid them all out. He then got the pans and plates that he would need out. " this is a stove with an oven. The stove cooks the food and the oven bakes and/or broils the food. This is a microwave, and it also cooks the food but a little faster than the stove/oven. In the sink is something that is called a garbage disposal it cleans up food and things. That is a dish washer. You rinse the dishes off and put the dish in the machine put some soap in it and turn it on. The noise maker is called a vacuum cleaner it picks up dirt, dust and pet hair off of the floor and furniture. There is a washing machine and dryer also. They wash and dry clothes." Harry explained most of the machines in the house. As Harry was explaining the muggle things he was cooking breakfast. When he was finished he asked Severus, "Would it be possible to wake them up with buckets of water? I can give you permission to use magic to wake them with buckets of water. For the first week anyway." Severus went to wake the other teenagers up while Harry set the table. A few minutes later a smirking Severus and 6 wet teenagers joined Harry.

While eating Harry told them of the schedule for today. "You guys and ladies might want to get cleaned up before we go shopping today. I will be showing you all around Surrey, so you will really need to pay attention to where we go today."

"Where all are we going today Harry?" Hermione asked.

"We'll start with place that you will be going to for sure. We will start off by going to the local drug store. Then we will go to the mall and other shops. The last two stops will be the grocery store and a fast food restaurant." Harry said.

"That sounds like a good plan and maybe you could explain what these places are." Severus said.

"Sure a Drug store is where Muggles by medications like we use potions. There are other things like ointments and bandages and other things. The Mall is a big building that have mini-store with in it. There are many different stores for clothes, shoes, toys, electronics, and more. We will be eating lunch in the food court at the mall. Other little stores like Walmart, K-mart, and Target have clothes, shoes, electronics, and other stuff all in one place instead of the mini stores. They now have a fast food restaurant and a grocery store in them. We will be going to a regular grocery store to buy the food so you will have choices of where to go. I will show you around each store the first couple of times and I will walk around with you until you feel comfortable going by yourself. I will give you each a watch that will be your only link to magic after this week is up. This watch will tell time, be a map and give you directions if you get lost." Harry said while transfiguring 7 napkins in to the watches Harry told them about. "Before we leave I will give you a tour of the house. I have already cleaned the upstairs and they are almost ready for you to move in to them. Shall we go up stairs?" Harry asked, and the others nodded. When they got up stairs Harry said "These rooms have been magically enlarged. We will decide on sleeping arrangement at lunch. When we go out you need to pick out a mattress a piece. You will also need to pick out bedding but please coordinate your colors. Tomorrow we will be decorating the rooms with colors and such. I'm thinking of letting the house become the original Potter Manor again, so I hope you will let me know if and when you will be visiting me in the future. Oh and before I forget there is furniture in the attic above the library that you might want to look at before we buy any furniture except for the matresses." He said.

"Wait a minute is this the floating Potter Manor that is suppose to be legendary. No one could find it after James died. It was said to have been destroyed when Voldemort killed them. Why is it here and why are we using it?" Severus asked.

"Yes it is the floating Potter Manor everyone thought was lost. No it wasn't lost I just inherited it recently since I will not be going back to the Dursley's anymore. We are using it because I wish to use it, and I thought everyone would be comfortable here. It will be going back to the original property when this project is finished. You'll learn more about the house before this project is over." Harry said. "I was thinking that I would make the inside the original size that away the girls will have a monitored wing and so will the boys. Then Everyone will have their own room unless you want to share. Each room will have a standard closet and bathroom. You will also have a bed with your own personal mattress and bedding (Pillows, Sheets, ect…), a bedside table, an entertainment center, a desk, dressers, and bookcases or selves. I not sure what I want to do yet share a room or give you each a room. We will discuss it later. Now Upstairs to the attic. Everyone followed him upstairs. This side is the Library and the other side is a games room. You will be able to look around later. These 2 rooms are finished already because it is in the original state. Now back to the ground floor. There is 1 bed room that will be mine for now." Harry said and there were some protest about him having his own room while the others were undecided. "Well if you want to get up about 6:30 in the morning to cook or never get a decent nights sleep because of my nightmares then by all means I'll share with everyone else or not sleep at all." He stated. The ones who complained quickly stopped realizing how selfish they sounded. Then he continued on. "Me or Mione will help you with the appliances until you are comfortable using them by yourself. Now down in the basement it is divided by a very thick wall. One side will be the pantry and exercise room and the other side will be the potions lab. You will not go down into that side without Professor Snape's permission." Harry finished he looked at his watch to see that it was 7:30 am. "Ok it is 7:30. Go get ready and be down in no later than 7:50 or you will be left behind." Everyone nodded and went to get ready.

Sorry that the shopping wasn't in this chapter. I didn't have any idea that Harry and Severus would have taken up so many pages or the tour of the house. Shopping will defiantly be in the next chapter. Ok a couple of polls I have already figured out 2 of the pairings.

Harry/Severus and Neville/Pansy.

Should it be?

Draco/Hermione
Ron/Blaise
Draco/Ron
Hermione/Blaise
Draco/Blaise
Ron/Hermione

Should I make them share a room to grow closer or give them their own room. Who should Share a room and why? Why should they get their own room? Please review and let me know what you think! I will Try to update as soon as I get a good poll in. If I don't get a good poll the I will get together with My lil sis Founder's Child and update as soon as I can. Thank you for your patience.
