It was a random summer evening where you were sitting in your shared room at the Dursleys, reading a book about Astronomy.
You were about to start the next chapter, but before you could flip the page, Harry came barging into your room.
YN, we have to go; pack your bag for school right now." He says this quickly, practically pushing you off the bed and handing you your suitcase.
Harry, what's happening?" You ask, feeling confused as to why Harry's freaking out.
Harry continues to shove clothes and other miscellaneous items in his bag as he says, "I accidentally cast a spell on one of Dursley's friends; I didn't even say anything out loud; it just happened. So we have to go like now."
"What did the Dursleys say? Is the friend okay?" You ask urgently as you pack your bag quickly.
"They got mad but didn't really say anything to me yet; they were more concerned with their friend. So we need to leave before they come up here." He states this as he finishes packing his bag.
"How are you always causing trouble around here, Harry?" You ask in a taunting tone.
He gives you a look before grabbing his bag and your hand, pulling you both out of your shared room and towards the front door.
As you and Harry quietly exit the house, you begin to walk around looking for a place to stay temporarily so you can come up with a plan on what to do.
After a little bit of walking, you and Harry finally end up at a park. The sun has set, and now the both of you are sitting on the swing in silence, neither of you knowing what to really talk about.
"Now what? School doesn't start for a couple of days, and we can't just stay here." You mumble, looking at Harry.
"I'm honestly not sure, YN; I didn't really think this through. I just knew we had to leave; I didn't really have a plan. I'm sorry." He states, looking off in the distance.
You turn your head to look where he's looking before saying, "It's alright, don't worry, we'll figure something out. Besides, it feels good to be out of that house anyway."
After sitting on the swing for a little bit longer, it starts to rain—not a heavy rain, but enough to get the things around you wet and you wet as well.
After the rain slows down, you and Harry grab your things and go sit on the curb.
You and Harry let silence take over the both of you, checking out your surroundings, but it was slightly difficult since it was so dark.
As you're about to ask Harry a question, the street light above the both of you starts to flicker. You hear a noise from behind you and turn around to see the swings beginning to move, the seesaw rocking up and down.
As you turn back around, you're hit with wind, yours and Harry's hair slightly blowing back.
As you turn your head towards the woods, you and Harry hear a rustling noise coming from the bushes.
A creature that almost looks like a wolf comes out of the bushes, its eyes glowing as it stares at you and Harry.
You're about to get up, but Harry beats you to it. He quickly jumps up and takes his wand out of his pocket. As he's about to point his wand at the wolf, he is blown back by a huge gust of wind, practically falling on top of you.
You turn your head and see a tall purple bus coming towards you and Harry.
As the bus comes to a stop in front of you guys, you shove Harry off you, causing him to land on the floor next to you.
There's a man standing on the end of the bus; he looks at you and Harry before speaking: "Welcome to the knight bus, emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard. My name is Stan Shunpike, and I will be your conductor for this evening."
The conductor gives you and Harry a weird look before asking, "Why are you guys down there?"
"I fell over." Harry answers quickly. "Well, why are you down there?" The conductor raises an eyebrow, looking towards you.
"He fell on top of me." You answer weirdly, looking back towards Harry.
"What did you fall over for?" Stan questions.
"I didn't do it on purpose." Harry grumbles.
He pauses for a moment before stating, Well, come on then! Let's not wait for the grass to grow."
You and Harry quickly get up, looking back towards the bushes to see if the wolf was there, but it was gone. Stan peers his head over to see what you guys are looking at.
"What are you looking at?" Stan whispers.
"Nothing." Both you and Harry quickly said
Well, come on then, get in," Stan says as he ushers you guys into the bus, grabbing your bags before you can bend down to get them yourselves. No, no, I've got this; you guys get in."
As he picks up the bags (or attempts to), he grunts, almost dropping Harry's bag; he practically passed out when he got it up the stairs.
He then sighed and turned towards your bag, struggling just as much with yours.
When he finally loads the bags on, you and Harry have walked towards the back of the bus, passing people sleeping in beds.
"Come on, move on, move on." The conductor yells rather loudly at the both of you.
Stan rushes in front of you guys and prints out a ticket for you and Harry before knocking on the window behind him.
"Take her away, yeah?" Stan says, and before you can question him, a shrunken head that's hanging on the mirror yells; "Yeah, take it away, Ernie! It's going to be a bumpy ride!" The shrunken head practically cackles, which causes an older man to jump awake.
He puts the bus into drive and takes off, everything in the bus flies backwards, including you and Harry, both of you falling backwards into a bed.
You sit up and grab onto the bars above the bed. You look over to Stan and see that he hasn't moved in the slightest. "So what did you say your names were again?" Stan asks.
"We didn't." Harry responds, gripping onto the bars above the bed.
He gives Harry a weird look and says, Well, where about are you headed?"
"The leaky cauldron, that's in London." Harry states quickly.
The conductor turns his head towards the front of the bus and asks, "Do you hear the dude? The leaky cauldron that's in London" He starts laughing, and so does the shrunken head, as it says something you can't understand.
The bus driver continues to drive like a maniac through the street, causing you to worry about people seeing you.
"Muggles?! They don't see nothing." He states it rather smugly.
After that, you decide to pretty much tune everyone out except Harry, trying to make this bus ride slightly more relaxing, which is hard given how bad this bus driver is driving.
Suddenly you hear the shrunken head yell, Ernie, old lady, at 12 o'clock!" You quickly turn your head to the front of the bus, and suddenly you're flung forward into the window, with Harry right beside you.
As soon as the old lady passes, you and Harry get flung right back onto the bed. You look at what Stan is holding and see it's a newspaper that reads: Escape from Azkaban, with a picture of a man.
"Who is that?" You question Stan, Harry nods his head along with your question.
"Who is that? Who is that? That is Sirius Black. Don't tell me you've never heard of Sirius Black." Stan almost scoffs.
He bends down to face you and Harry and says, "He's a murderer; got himself locked up in Azkaban for it."
"Well, how did he escape?" Harry questions.
Well, that's the question, isn't it? He was the first one to have done it." Stan says. He then lowers his voice to a whisper and says, "He was a supporter of... you know who."
Stan and Harry continue conversing while you look out the window, seeing that you guys are heading straight towards two buses.
Before you got the chance to say something, the old man at the front pulled something from the ceiling, causing the bus to shrink.
Your eyes go wide as you are small enough to pass through the buses. You look at Harry, and his face is so long that you almost let out a giggle.
As you turn into an alley, the bus comes to a stop, with Harry smacking into the window and you to fall off the bed, Harry helps you get up, and Stan looks at the both of you before saying, "The leaky cauldron, here we are."
As he's announcing his next stop, a bald man whose name you think is Jim walks onto the bus, helping you and Harry and welcoming you inside the leaky cauldron.
A/N: sorry, I'm at a family reunion this week and I'm not able to write, I'll get back to my usual schedule soon!! <3
