A Muggle's Way of Life
Chapter 5

AN: Sorry about the delay. I don't know anything about British Malls, so I'm using my source and using American malls. Another reason for the delay was I didn't get much information from the polls I did in chapter 3. Ok now on to chapter 5.

Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ronald Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson, and Blaise Zabini, and Severus Snape broke up into two groups: boys and girls.
Harry led the guys, and Hermione led the girls. They agreed to meet at the food court (in the middle of the mall) at noon. That gave them an hour and a half to look around.

The girls went to look at the jewelry stores to look at rings and necklaces. Next they went to a candy shop and bought regular jellybeans peanut butter cups and a few other chocolate delights to share with everyone. They also went into Walden's Bookstore. They were shocked to see Hermione buy a few romance novels. "What did you expect me to just read educational books?" She asked the shocked looking girls. They laughed and went on to explore more of the mall.

The guys on the other hand just wondered around the mall. And looked at things they might want for their rooms. They didn't do much shopping because they didn't know who they were rooming with or if they were getting their own room.

When they met up again they went into the food court. The food court was a big circle with many restaurants lined up side by side. There was a pizza place, a Chic-Filet, a Subway, a Great Steak and Potato, a McDonalds, a Burger King, A Panda Express, and some kind of Japanese place with hibachi. Harry went to Chic-Filet and McDonalds: he got a grilled chicken sandwich from McDonalds a large sweet tea and a hot fudge Sundae with extra hot fudge (I love McDonalds I would eat there all the time.); Hermione went to Subway and got a chicken sub and a large water; Ronald, Neville, and Draco went to the Pizza place and got pepperoni Stromboli's and they each got a soft drink; Pansy, Blaise, and Severus went with chicken and shrimp hibachi and each got hot tea.

While eating Harry took his notebook out and was looking it over. Room assignments were blank. He looked at the others and said, "I was thinking about the room arrangements and I can't decide if it would be better to share a room or give you your own room. Give me some input here"

"I think that everyone should have their own room." Severus said and everyone agreed.

"Ok" Harry said as he marked it down in his book. He turned to the next page:

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

"OK After we leave the mall we need to go to a furniture outlet." Harry said then continued. "We can get the linen here or when we go to Walmart. If you want to wait for things like electronics so that you can compare prices with Walmart we can come back tomorrow." Skipping over the next page (Which was his personal list) said "We can get the groceries at Walmart."

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 (pork chops, chicken, hamburger, ect…)
Frozen foods (pizzas, frozen dinners, Ect…)
Fruits and vegetables
Drinks (Tea bags, sodas, ect…)

He closed the note book up and looked at the others and asked "Do you want to look through the stores here and get prices for what you want to get or get the stuff at Walmart?" Harry asked.

"Let's explore more of the mall and get price checks." Hermione replied everyone agreed. They went to places like Radio Shack and Linens and Things. Before they left the mall they went into a store called Victoria Secrets. Draco was a little confused about the Name and asked a sales lady what the secret was. Everyone laughed at that because the store was a lingerie store. They left the mall at 2 pm and headed towards a furniture outlet.

Harry, Hermione, Ronald, Neville, Draco, Pansy, and Blaise, and Severus all bought queen sized beds with mattresses. The dressers, bookcases and a bedside table everyone bought two of each and most were cedar. They spent a little over 2 hours in the furniture outlet. They left from there and went to Walmart.

It was a Walmart Supercenter, which meant that was everything in there.

AN: Ok I'm leaving Wal-Mart for the next Chapter. Sorry this took so long in getting posted but the poll on this fic didn't go as well as the one for A Charmed MisConception. I'm not making any promises, but I'll try to have chapter 6 up sometime next week.
