After his 5th year at Hogwarts, Harry arrived at Privit Drive. He had a feeling that this summer was going to be the worst of all. He walked up to the front door and rung the bell.
Harry stood at the door for about a minute and rung the bell again. No one answered. Harry kept repeating this for about 10 minutes ntil he decided that the Dursleys were not going to let him in.
"I can't believe they even made me walk home," he said to himself.
He looked around to the garage, but the car wasn't there yet.. He sat on the steps and waited about an hour before he decided that the Dursleys had gone somewhere else. So Harry walked off down Privit Drive, thinking about what he was going to do.
The sun was starting to set as he walked on and on, carrying his luggage. The street lights came on and Harry started to worry.
"Hedwig," he said talking to his owl. "Why did I decide to leave the house? I was just walking wherever, I don't think I can figure out how to get back."
Hedwig looked at Harry as if she was saying, "Dude, you're totally screwed."
Harry walked on and on, not knowing where the road would take him.

Eventually, without even realizing it, Harry ended up in London. In a neighborhood that looked much different than Privet Drive. It was a torn down neighborhood. There were a lot of over-turned cars and a lot of people standing around outside with bandanas and leather jackets. Most of them looked only a couple years older than Harry himself.

Harry walked up to these people to ask for directions. It was a VERY stupid thing to do, but since he had been going to private school, he didn't know any better to not talk to these sorts of people.
"Excuse me," said Harry. "I've been running away from my Uncle's house and I am very tired and thirsty, do you know where they might let a boy my age check into a hotel?"
The gang looked at Harry and then at each other.
"There ain't no hotels like that around here little man." said their leader. "You'd pobably have to walk about 30 more miles to get somewhere like that."
"Oh," said Harry. "But I am ever so tired. Are you sure?"
"Tell you what little man," said the leader. "Why don't you have a drink of this. It'll keep you awake until you get there."
He haded Harry two bottles of beer. Harry looked very hards at these bottles.
"Are these some sort of magic potion?" asked Harry.
The entire gang burst out laughing.
"Yeah dude," said one of them. "We're the Potion Wizards of London."
They all started laughing again.
"Oh, I'm sorry," said Harry. "I had no idea you were wizards. Well thank you for your kindness."
Harry handed them two galleons and walked of sipping on his "magic potion".

He had eventually found another group when he was halfway through his second bottle of beer.
"Excuse me," he said tugging at the coat accidentally ripping a seam, "are you wizards to?" He ended in a blur. To the gang, it sounded like he said wise-asses.
"That's it!" The guy with the ripped jacket screamed. "Let's waste this punk!" On cue, all the gang members pulled out semi-automatic weapons and aimed them at Harry.
Harry might not have known about gangs, but he knew what guns were. He nearly wet himself when the man with the torn jacket loaded the bullets.
Harry shut his eyes tight to wait for the inevitable. All of a sudden he heard rapid gun shots. Three seconds after the sound was over, Harry realized he was still alive. He turned to see all the gang members laying in a bloody heap on the ground, and behind them, with an A.K. 47, was Dean Thomas.
"Hey there, Dean!" Harry shouted, relieved.
"Harry, what are you doing here?" Dean asked, throwing the gun into the pile of corpses. "This is a bad neighborhood."
"You're here." Harry said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"I live in this neiborhood thank you very much," said Dean.
"So?" asked Harry.
"So that answer your question," said Dean.
"Um....so?" said Harry.
"Woah man," siad Dean. "Are you drunk?"
"Yeah," said Harry. "I drunk some of this magic potion. Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh."
"Dammit Harry," said Dean. "This here is alchohol. Why the hell are you drinking this?"
"Because it.......keeeps me awake," said Harry in a drowsy tone.
"Do you even know what this is Harry?"
"Yes, it's a.....MAgic POtion."
"Dammit, you know what happens when you drink too much wine at Hogwarts Harry?"
"Yep, you do the....the....happiness."
"Well the same thing hapens when you go drinkin this. I can't let you stay out here man, your stayin at my place tonight."
"Can I touch your gun?"
"No."
So Harry and Dean set off to Deans house, which wasn't that far away.

"Hey mom!" Dean shouted when they walked into the door.
"Yes honey!" Caroline yelled from in the kitched.
"Harry's staying the night, too, okay?" Dean asked.
"Go ahead, honey."
"Who else is staying the night?" Harry asked.
"Hiya Harry!" Seamus Finnigan shouted from the hall. Harry tried to make a run for it, but Dean got a hold of his cloak and held him back.

"It IS you Harry!" said Seamus. "Oh this will be so fun! We'll stay up late and watch scary movies, and make popcorn, and dance, and stay up til morning and..."
"Take a breath Seamus," siad Dean.
While this was happening, Harry had passed out on the floor.

Dean had noticed this, and picked him up.
"Harry!" He shouted, slapping Harry's face. "Wake up! I think you fainted!"
"Oh!" Harry shouted, stirring awake. "I had a horrible dream, Dean. I dreamt that Seamus was here, too. I'm glad that's not true."
"Is he okay?" Seamus asked from behind Dean. "Oh he is! Right, Harry, we have to turn water into rum, I swear I've got it this time."
"No thanks," Harry said, knowing what always happens when Seamus tries to transfigure things, "I think I've had too much to drink today."

Harry pointed his wand at Seamus and said, "Petrificus Totalus!"
Seamus fell to the floor and didn't move the rest of the night. Harry crawled into Dean's bed and fell asleep.
"Dammit," said Dean. "Now where the hell am I gonna sleep?"
Dean drank what was left of Harry's booze and passed out on the floor.

"Can somebody help me?" Seamus said through his closed lips. No one had heard his cries, though, because everyone was out cold.

The next morning, Dean woke up and saw that Harry wasn't there. He walked around the house trying to find him. When he got to the kitchen, the refridgerator door was open and all the beer was gone.
Dean ran to get Seamus, undid the spell, and ran ut the door to try to catch up to Harry.
Meanwhile, Harry was two miles ahead with a sitcase full of alchoholic beverages, running as fast as he could.

"Got to get away from Seamus!" Harry screamed all the way down the street. He had counted 7 bullets that had definitely been fired at him in the last 20 minutes he had been running.

As he ran, a bullet hit his arm and he fell to the ground and knocked out.
He awoke the next morning. He looked around and saw thathe was in a house. A house he had never been in before.

Or had he?
"Is this Sirius's house?" Harry wondered aloud.
"Very good, Harry." came a voice from outside the door.

Harry turned around and he saw someone he didn't expect to see.
