Chapter 2: 2. Shopping
He woke up at 6am. Tom usually sleeps about 6 hours. His body was athletic and muscular because the previous owner of the body had been a PE teacher and had never missed a day of sport.
Tom was able to add the same muscles to his body with a transfiguration spell. But he wanted to try sports. Tom did push-ups and sit-ups without counting.
He had no idea about the exercise programme.
Exercise tired him out. But after casting a Stamina Charm, he felt better.
He went into the kitchen for breakfast but couldn't find any food. Tom had a credit card in his wallet and learned that he could use it to make purchases.
The password had been written in Miller's diary.
When he went outside, he saw the car. It was a Range Rover.
He didn't know how to drive, he usually used the Apparate spell to teleport. But he cannot apparate to a place he has not seen before.
So he grabbed his mountain bike from the garage and set off. When Tom arrives in town, he decides to get something to eat first. He sees a steak restaurant across the road and starts cycling towards it.
As Tom was crossing the road, a car honked. A car almost hit Tom. Of course, Tom had taken precautions for such a situation.
Tom has protective spells on him, but he is troubled by the possibility that if the accident had happened, Tom's identity might have been revealed and he might have gotten into trouble with the American Ministry of Magic.
For now, he doesn't want to fight the Ministry and the magical world the way he used to.
A frowning man got out of the car. The man shouted angrily, "You almost died!" The man was very angry. As Tom looked at the man, he realised that the man was a policeman. Tom took it easy because he didn't want to deal with a policeman. "I'm sorry, I'm distracted today, policeman." The man calmed down a little, he was screaming with adrenaline. "I'm going to have to fine you for failing to obey the traffic laws and endangering traffic."
Tom got a bit nervous. He hadn't been treated like this for a long time. "OK, policeman, I'll pay as soon as I can." "Are you new here, I haven't seen you before."
"Yes, I just moved here and I'm a high school teacher. I was out to dinner and shopping." Tom wanted to speak to the police. He hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time. He had struggled for almost 7 years to find the right size for himself. He didn't know anyone here.
He thought he might learn something. "Welcome to Forks, I'm Charlie. If you have any problems you can come to the police station and ask for my help. Have a good day." He gave me the ticket. "Good day, Mr Charlie."
I rode on to the restaurant, parked and locked my bike, then entered the restaurant. The inside was average. I wanted a grilled steak for myself. The steak was delicious. After paying for the meal, I walked out.
After shopping, I went home. After making a privacy charm for myself, I worked on the spell in the basement of the house. When I looked at the time, it was almost evening.
I went home and made some pasta and sauce. After dinner, I added some secret pockets to my clothes to hide my wand.
As it was too early to sleep, he decided to watch television. He fell asleep while watching.
