Inside <strong>the</strong> bag were three rolls <strong>and</strong> an enormous piece of sausage. At <strong>the</strong> first moments, just<br />

holding <strong>the</strong> food was hurting as much as with <strong>the</strong> furniture before. But <strong>Harry</strong> felt great.<br />

Maybe, he thought, <strong>the</strong> turning points in your life were marked by sausages.<br />

The break had done a small wonder, which held for quite a while. Then it was <strong>the</strong> routine that<br />

kept him moving. Then it was <strong>the</strong> thought of a desk <strong>and</strong> a chair ... Then it was five o'clock.<br />

<strong>Harry</strong> already knew which pieces to take - each turn had been marked by a glance at <strong>the</strong><br />

selected items, a desk, a chair, a small filing cabinet. There weren't lamps around - so what,<br />

his w<strong>and</strong> did <strong>the</strong> job.<br />

A semi truck appeared, came closer, stopped. The man jumped out, looked at <strong>Harry</strong>'s<br />

selection. "Them?"<br />

<strong>Harry</strong> nodded.<br />

Before he could move, <strong>the</strong> desk was on <strong>the</strong> loading space, followed by <strong>the</strong> cabinet. He just<br />

found <strong>the</strong> time to pass <strong>the</strong> chair into <strong>the</strong> man's h<strong>and</strong> - one h<strong>and</strong>, for a chair, this figure didn't<br />

bo<strong>the</strong>r using two arms.<br />

"Jump in, son."<br />

They reached <strong>the</strong> Dursley home. Examining <strong>the</strong> building, <strong>the</strong> man asked, "This your parent's<br />

house?"<br />

"My relatives."<br />

A glance from <strong>the</strong> driver's seat. "I see."<br />

They moved <strong>the</strong> desk upstairs toge<strong>the</strong>r. Stepping down, <strong>the</strong>y passed an open-mou<strong>the</strong>d Dudley,<br />

who took care not to come closer than two yards in <strong>the</strong>ir path.<br />

With <strong>the</strong> second turn, <strong>the</strong> man took <strong>the</strong> cabinet, <strong>Harry</strong> <strong>the</strong> chair. When <strong>the</strong>y had deposited <strong>the</strong><br />

pieces in <strong>Harry</strong>'s room, <strong>the</strong> man reached in his pocket <strong>and</strong> came up with a business card. "If<br />

you want to work for money, son - gimme a call." The man looked at <strong>the</strong> door, turned back to<br />

<strong>Harry</strong>. "The offer goes to <strong>the</strong> person, not <strong>the</strong> house. - Same with <strong>the</strong> money ... Good night."<br />

"Thank you, sir ... Good night."<br />

Some minutes later, <strong>Harry</strong> walked downstairs for supper, reached <strong>the</strong> table, sat down.<br />

Uncle Vernon brea<strong>the</strong>d heavily. "You've lost your right to sit with us ... Leave <strong>the</strong> room!"<br />

"Fine with me." <strong>Harry</strong> stood up, pointed his w<strong>and</strong> toward <strong>the</strong> table. "Accio cibum."<br />

The plates of uncle Vernon <strong>and</strong> of Dudley flew through <strong>the</strong> room into his h<strong>and</strong>s.<br />

Upstairs, <strong>Harry</strong> celebrated <strong>the</strong> first meal at his new table. It was great, although not coming<br />

close to <strong>the</strong> lunch. And of course too much by far. He deposited <strong>the</strong> leftovers in Dudley's<br />

room.<br />
