Harry and I drag out stuff down the stairs as we go to leave but were stopped by Vernon as he gripped my arm hard enough to bruise.

"You two bring her back! You two bring her back now! And you two put her right!" Vernon demands as I scowl at him and snatch my hand from his grip.

"Why should we? She got what she deserved!" I say in a sing-song tone of voice with a grin as he raises his hand to hit me but missed as Harry pulled me back.

"You get away from us." He states as he points his wand at him.

"You're not allowed to do magic outside of school!" Vernon says while shaking his head, I grin as I take out my wand aswell.

"Try me you bastard." I threaten as petunia walks in, staring at me with a venomous glare.

"They won't let you two back now. You've got nowhere else to go." Vernon stares as Harry glares at him.

"We don't care." Harry states as he glares at the three.

"Anywhere's better than here." Harry states as he drags his suitcase out the door.

I quickly follow behind him as we walk out on the streets. Marge still visible in the air as I just stare at the ground blankly.

———

We sit down on the edge of a sidewalk as Harry sighs.

The light flickers before going out, then the playground items start to move.

The wind picks up as a midnight black dog walks out from the woods. It barks as Harry tries to go towards it, knocking us back and onto the sidewalk.

A bus suddenly then pulls infront of us as we look at the man who stood leaning against the side.

"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." He reads off the card monotonously before he glances down as his eyebrows knit together.

"What you two doin' down there?" He asks as he leans against the side of the bus in a carefree manner.

"We fell over." Harry mutters as the man looks at us even more confused.

"What'd you fell over for?" He asks as Harry and I stand up.

"We didn't do it on purpose." Harry explains as the man shakes his head.

"Well, come on, then! Let's not wait for the grass to grow!" The man says as Harry and I look over the side of the bus only to see the dog gone.

"What you lookin' at?" The man asks as he looks over the side of the bus aswell.

"Nothing..." Harry mutters as the man sighs.

"Well, come on, then!" He says as we both go to grab our luggage.

"Nah, nah, nah. I'll get these. You two get in!" The man offers as I smile and mutter a thank you before getting on the bus.

We walk to the back of the bus as the man stands infront of us and gives us both a paper before knocking on the glass.

The bus then speeds off as Harry falls back onto a bus as the conductor grabs the back of my shirt, keeping me from falling and most likely bashing my head open.

*Y/nnnnnn!* Nyx screeches as she tightens her grip around my neck.

"What did you two say your names were again?" He asks as Harry grabs onto the side of the bed.

"I didn't." Harry answers as he glances around.

"Well, whereabouts are you headed?" He questions.

"The leaky cauldron that's in London." Harry answer as the conductor turns back towards the glass.

"Did you 'ear that, ern? The leaky cauldron that's in London." The conductor says with a grin.

"The leaky cauldron. Hey, if they have the pea soup, make sure you eat it before it eats you." The head cackles as we narrowly avoid getting hit

"But the muggles, can't they see us?!" Harry questions as I shake my head.

"Muggles? They don't see nothin', do they?" The conductor laughs at the question.

"No, but if you jab them with a fork they feel!" The head answers with another cackle.

"Ernie, little old lady at twelve o'clock!" They yell as the bus suddenly pulls to a stop.

I had already been decently close to the glass so it didn't hurt too much, Harry on the other hand came crashing against it.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, three-and-a-half, two, one-and-three-quarters, yes!" The head counts down before speeding off.

The conductor had gotten out a newspaper as he read it.

"Who is that?" Harry asks as he looks at the moving photo of a man yelling.

"Who is that?" The conductor rhetorically questions.

"Who is...?" He starts as he holds up the paper before continuing, "that is Sirius black, that is. Don't tell me you've never been 'earing of Sirius black. He's a murderer. Got 'imself locked up in Azkaban for it." The conductor explains as Harry looks at him confused.

"Well how did he escape?" Harry asks, still confused.

"Well, that's the question, isn't it? He's the first one that done it! He was a big supporter of... you-know-who. Reckon you've 'eard of 'im." He says as I look off to the side.

"Yeah. Him I've heard of."

———

We stop right infront of the leaky cauldron as Harry slammed his face on the window.

"Here we are, the leaky cauldron." The conductor states before a creepy looking man gets on.

"Ah... mr and miss potter... at last." The man says as i glance at the conductor who just shrugs.

———

The creepy man opens the door as hedwig and embry and there.

I hurriedly walk towards her and pet her as nyx hissed happily at the owl.

"Smart birds you've got there mr and miss potter, they arrived here just five minutes before yourselves." The man says before another guy clears his throat as we turn towards him.

"As the minister for magic, it is my duty to inform you, mr potter, that earlier this evening your uncles sister was located a little south of Sheffield, circling a chimney stack." The minister explains as the guy sat us down in two chairs across from the minister.

"The accidental magic reversal department was dispatched immediately. She has been properly punctured and her memory modified." The minister continues on as the man offers us food before walking away.

"She will have no recollection of the incident so that's that... and no harm done." The minister finishes as nyx curled up in my lap.

"Uh... Minister?" Harry looks up at the minister.

"Yes, Harry?" The minister responds as i look between the two.

"I don't understand." Harry mutters as the minister quirks an eyebrow.

"Understand?" The minister repeats, equally as confused as Harry.

"I broke the law. Underage wizards aren't allowed to use magic at home." Harry explains as the minister laughs.

"Oh, come now, Harry! The ministry doesn't send people to Azkaban for blowing up their aunts." The minister laughs as the other man laughs like a donkey but goes silent after a look from the minister.

"On the other hand, running away like that, given the state of things, was very, very irresponsible." The minister says as he leans against the back of the chair in sitting on.

So he knew that we ran away... shouldn't he know what we've gone through aswell? How are we the irresponsible ones if you let children be abused by their guardians.

"The state of things, sir?" Harry asks as he turns towards the minister.

"We have a killer on the loose." The minister replies curtly.

"Sirius black, you mean? But what's he got to do with us?" Harry questions as the minister nervously laughs.

"Oh, nothing, of course... you're safe! And that's what matters! And tomorrow you'll be on your way back to hogwarts! Oh, uh, these are your new schoolbooks. I took the liberty of having them brought here for you. Now, Tom will show you two to your room." The minister says before the man drags us out of the room.

"Embry." I state as the owl flies onto my arm.

"Oh, by the way, y/n, Harry, whilst you're here it would be best if you didn't.... Wander."
