After selecting his wand, a sense of fulfillment and anticipation washed over Harry. With the day's successful foray into the magical world drawing to a close, he decided to end it with a pleasant meal. Accompanied by Misty, the Potter family house-elf, Harry and Petunia ventured into a quaint restaurant that served both magical and non-magical cuisine.
Misty, with her typical house-elf demeanor, was eager to serve Harry and Petunia. Her speech, characterized by its broken structure and high-pitched tone, was endearing to Harry, who had quickly grown fond of her. "Misty can cook for Master Harry and Mistress Petunia, but Misty also likes to try new foods," she said, her large eyes glancing around the restaurant curiously.
Petunia, still adjusting to the magical elements of the world, watched Misty with a mix of fascination and bemusement. "It's quite alright, Misty. Let's all enjoy a meal together," she said, her voice softer than usual.
As they settled at a table, Nigel's voice chimed in Harry's mind, "Dining with a house-elf and a Muggle in a wizarding restaurant. How very cosmopolitan of you, Master Harry."
Harry suppressed a chuckle. "It's a new experience for all of us, Nigel," he replied silently.Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com
The restaurant was a cozy establishment, with a warm ambiance that blended elements from both magical and non-magical worlds. The menu was an intriguing mix of dishes, some familiar to Petunia and others completely foreign.
Harry decided to order a variety of dishes for them to try. "Let's have a bit of everything. I think it's a great way for Aunty Petunia to get a taste of the magical world," he suggested.
Petunia, still wide-eyed at the magical displays around her, nodded in agreement. "Yes, let's do that. It all looks so... interesting."
Misty, meanwhile, was visibly excited to be part of the dining experience. "Misty will try what Master Harry recommends," she squeaked, her ears twitching in anticipation.
Their meal turned out to be a delightful array of magical and non-magical cuisines. From the traditional roast beef that Petunia enjoyed to the more exotic Fizzing Whizzbees that left them all giggling from the levitating sensation, the experience was a blend of comfort and wonder.
As they dined, Harry took the opportunity to explain some of the magical aspects of their meal to Petunia, who listened with rapt attention. "You see, Aunty, the magical world has its own unique ingredients and cooking methods, which can lead to some surprising effects," he explained, gesturing to a dish that emitted a soft glow.
After their fulfilling experience at the restaurant, Harry prepared to return home with Aunt Petunia and Misty, their new house-elf. Realizing that Misty had never been to Privet Drive, he instructed her to apparate there first to get a sense of the location before coming back for them. Before Misty disappeared with a soft pop, Harry turned to his aunt with a cautious tone. "Aunty, apparating can be a bit... um, discomforting. It can make your stomach churn. Be prepared."
Petunia, already apprehensive about the magical modes of transportation, nodded with a slightly pale face, her anxiety evident. "I'll try my best, Harry," she said, a nervous tremor in her voice.
While waiting for Misty's return, Harry noticed the curious glances from other patrons. "Quite the spectacle we are, aren't we?" Nigel commented dryly in Harry's mind, his words laced with his characteristic humor.
Harry smirked inwardly, replying silently, "Only if they knew who we were, Nigel."
Misty returned shortly, announcing her presence with a cheerful, "Misty is back! Misty found Master Harry's house!" Her speech added a layer of excitement to her words.
"Really," Harry sighed. "But I want you to dress nicely. Take this gold," he said, handing her a small pouch, "and go to Madam Malkin. Have her make clothes for you. Don't worry about the cost. Make sure your clothing represents me."
Misty, now understanding Harry's intentions, nodded vigorously. "Misty will do," she said, her tone filled with renewed determination.
"Good," Harry said, feeling relieved. "Lastly, this is a Muggle neighborhood. No one should see you or your magic. Understand?"
Misty nodded once more, her expression serious. "Misty understands, Master Harry."
With the rules established, Harry turned his attention to his Aunt Petunia. "Aunty, Misty will be here while I'm at Hogwarts. She's a great help and can do many things. Just... try not to be surprised by her magic."
Petunia, still adjusting to the magical elements in her life, gave a hesitant nod while feeling a pang of excitement. "I'll try, Harry. It's all still a bit overwhelming."
Harry smiled reassuringly. "You'll get used to it, Aunty. Misty is very kind and helpful."
Withdrawing to his room after the eventful day, Harry felt a sense of contentment. It was here, in the quiet solitude of his new room, that Harry's thoughts turned to making it more suitable for his needs.
"Misty," he called softly, and with a faint pop, the house-elf appeared, her eyes wide and eager. "Yes, Master Harry? How can Misty help?"
Harry surveyed the room thoughtfully. It was decent in size, but he needed more space, especially for his magical experiments and the Virtual Room. "Misty, see that wall?" He pointed to the adjacent wall, behind which lay an unused room. "I want you to create a door there. We're going to expand this room."
Misty's eyes sparkled with understanding. "Misty can do that!" And with a snap of her fingers, the once solid wall miraculously sprouted a door, seamlessly integrated as if it had always been there.
Harry peered through the new doorway, nodding in approval. "Now, Misty, I need you to expand both this room and the one next door. Make them larger on the inside but keep the house looking the same from the outside. Oh, and add proper ventilation, please."
"Right away, Master Harry!" Misty said, her voice tinged with excitement. With a series of deft snaps, the rooms began to reshape themselves. The walls stretched and shifted, the space expanding in a mesmerizing dance of magic. The air in the room shifted too, as a new ventilation system appeared, ensuring fresh air would circulate efficiently.
