I honestly don't know why I never considered living in Hogsmeade before-

Not only do I already own a house but it's full of some of my favorite places and peoples, and not too far from my true home, Hogwarts-

Once I fix my nose and heal myself at the Hog's Head, I decide to visit an old friend and announce some changes...

"Fired-?" Penny the house-elf squeaks out,
"Why is Mr. Anon letting Penny go-? Penny has been managing Stitches & Draughts for nearly four years-"

I give the house-elf a reassuring smile,
"It's ok Penny- it's not your fault- I just want to run this place myself since I'm moving in."

Penny continues to look unsure as I add,
"Listen, since I'm letting you go, you can keep all the earnings you've made these past few years- consider it a retirement gift."

Penny sniffs a little, "But what will Penny do if not work here-? Where will Penny go to live?"

I give Penny a small pat on her hat covered head,
"You've got nothing to worry about- my old house-elf friend Deek can help you- he works at Hogwarts- I'll introduce you to him."

Penny nods in acceptance before she quietly asks,
"Does Mr. Anon require assistance in arranging your move in-?"

I shake my head happily, "I'll be alright Penny; besides I need practice my conjuring magic anyway-"

"What about Fastidio-?"

Of course, I almost forgot about the biggest challenge I had when I first acquired the shop- normally I didn't have a problem with the poltergeist making noise late in the night when no customers were around- but if I'm living here-?

After helping Penny meeting up with Deek, I immediately head into Fastidio's enchanted chest-

Once I get through the magical mess of Fastidio's warped dungeons and fight off some mannequins, I come face to face with the glowing figure and ask,
"Fastidio! We need to talk."

The poltergeist cackles openly as he peers down at me,
"Look at little Anon! Grown up haven't you-? I've missed you! There hasn't been anyone to have fun with since our deal- not even the house-elf-"

I take out my wand and interrupt the giggling poltergeist,
"This isn't a playdate- it's about time you left- for good."

Fastidio lets out a loud laugh before grinning,
"Poor stupid simple Anon: I can't leave! I've been inhabiting this shop since the first time it opened as a joke shop!"
