Harry's New House Set Up

[Mira]

Okay he has a castle now, how is he going to fix it up?

1] Sounds like a skylight is in order.
 2] He's got his old lab back, but is he going to expand it now?
 3] Library;  He can devote a whole room to ceiling to floor book cases.  Wonder if
he is going to try and get some of those magic books that were forbidden to him.
  4] An automated self serve pizza maker, that makes fresh not frozen pizza.. The
whole city of Chicago owe the Major General and Company big time.  Things could
have been a lot worse for everyone without them.
5] And nice bedroom,playroom, study suite for Maggie.. With a nice corner shelf for Bonea

What else?

[Arjan]

There is pappa Raith library. Now he is going to marry Lara he should get acess.

[Avernite]

Guest rooms and a basketball court (or a throne room; if he's gonna challenge Marcone's powerbase).

A gym for Butters, because he still needs to train with some Einherjars (Einherjaren?).

A computer set-up for Gary and the Paranet. Maybe a full-out computer center.

An armory.

Is there a way to protect a computer set up from all the magical stuff that will be happening in that place?

Well, if anywhere could have wards against random magic leakage, it's a place warded like Demonreach.

Granted they don't work perfectly on Demonreach (hence the leylines) so it's only a possibility... but Demonreach is housing major prisoners on Ethniu's level (and beyond?) and yet only a few contained leylines and some generic aerial oppressive feelings bleed out.

[Doughnut Despot]

He should move in the Alphas, Knights +Carpenters, etc if they want. Keep all his squishy allies in the giant magical fortress. And if he adds the Carpenters, he gets bonus angels.

The svartalves can set up a shield for that along with hot water and a decent heating system.

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Automated pizza oven, a big no, a proper wood fired pizza oven and barbecue on the roof, yes, he can use stone from the Demonreach lighthouse and create a shrine for the Little folk, a cathedral for pizza. Build a back boiler. The rest can go as a roof top garden, for Maggie and Mouse. Perhaps grow a few tomatoes, onions, peppers (mushrooms in the basement) and a token stand of celery.

A computer could be powered down and only powered up inside an active magic  circle, you could have conduits running through the floor, this would allow third parties to use it. If Harry wants to use technology, (and with Maggie he may have no option) he needs to build a personal suppressor device like Thorn Manacles but rather than cut off entirely all magic, just needs to scale it down so he can still use some magic but still use technology, perhaps have it so he can set it from 100% magic to 0% magic and points in between. Similar devices would be for other wizards apprentices in residence. It makes sense to do something like this rather than build it into the Castle, as Harry isn’t always in the Castle.

There was guest accommodation in the Castle originally so if Harry is taking in other wizards and apprentices this could be used for them, but younger apprentices would be better off with the Carpenters initially.

Harry needs a gym himself, but perhaps not the large one. Day care was run from the Castle, so a proper day care centre for  Paranetters  and SI kids (Bradley needs new daycare).

The Great Hall is a flexible space, suitable for lectures, functions and a variety of events.

Harry I expect will take the much larger basement for his accommodation to create a larger version of his original apartment, two bedrooms, proper bathroom and kitchen and a larger general space

[Rigil Kent]

A big old bed for when Lara is visiting. (j/k)

Probably not, Harry didn’t even have Murphy interact with Maggie.

I don't disagree with that but he'll have to hire a crew to man it 24/7 to satisfy Toot and the rest of the army.  That is why if he could come up with either a good automated version or a magical version to make themselves it will be hard.

Castles have a staff.

[Conspiracy Theorist]

A Staff of Little Folk. They work for food.

The rituals of worship at the Cathedral of Pizza, are suspiciously similar to the food preparation practices of Pizza Spress. Harry then merely supplies the materials. In industrial quantities. Which means the Great Hall is going to have to be converted into a pantry.

[morriswalters]

Thick rugs and comfy chairs in front of a fireplace. An umbrella stand in the corner. With large dark book cases with his favorite books. A least one painting on velvet and a beer cooler next to an old fashioned phone. Programmed with a direct line to Pizza Express.  Kitchen and baths by Etri since Maggie isn't a Winter Princess.  A shelf with a ever shining sunbeam for Mister with courtesy by Sarissa and a Door Into Summer by Heinlein. And a soft bed for Mouse

[Snark Knight]

With a nice corner shelf for Bonea

I'm not actually sure whether he intended to tell any Wardens claiming jurisdiction to inspect his home for black magic to go pound sand, but if he's not quite willing to burn that bridge, keeping Bonea at home is somewhat risky. Someone might start asking problematic questions about how he came to design a vessel for a spirit of intellect based on Bob's, when they think Bob was destroyed with Kemmler.

On the other hand, he does have to work on teaching her some context and concept of morality, and talking through Lash' knowledge with her. He really needs a contraband hiding solution. Either a convenient Way to the island, or if Lea reestablishes the garden, a way to stash and retrieve things without triggering the centipedes.
