Home Sweet Home [Phaedra]
The house was ranch-style, with two distinct sides, separated by a shared kitchen and patio. Harry had set aside the smaller wing for Phaedra, since it had fewer windows and a private bath in the master bedroom. In the bedroom, steel shutters had been placed over all the windows, behind heavy curtains. The door was in a solid oak frame, and additional interior locks had been placed.
On his own half, Harry had converted the second bedroom into a makeshift lab. It had more room than his previous lab had allowed, but all the walls were lined with shelves and long worktables. A corner of the carpet had been lifted away, with a summoning circle placed underneath, an elegant thing of silver, copper, and iron.
It was an older home, and one that had been well loved. Harry was the first to rent it out after the original family had left. The threshold still held, though he knew it would weaken over time. The next few days would be spent enforcing wards around the house. He felt oddly naked without them.
"Your room is on that end," Harry told Phaedra, pointing past the kitchen. It was well after dark, and with the thick, solid curtains he'd placed on that side of the house, no trails of moonlight or starlight could penetrate to illuminate her way. "Um. Need a candle or something?"
He'd already forgotten that the electricity was still in place, since Harry had lived without it for so long.
