Challenge: Trying Something New
Harry was called away to deal with a nasty booby trap at the old Rosier place at just the wrong moment. He pulled his purchase from its box, placing it on the chosen spot before leaving, but afterward ended up in St. Mungo's for nearly a fortnight.
Severus visited daily; on the second Tuesday he complained that the new refrigerator wasn't working properly.
Harry blinked. "Refrigerator?"
"It fails to keep things cold at all. And yes, I ensured it was plugged in." Severus's expression combined pride with frustration.
"I hate to tell you this... but it's a microwave," said Harry.
