Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

A skinny raven haired boy sat in his room at number 4 Privet Drive. He was thinking about Sirius, his late godfather. It had been a mere week since that death.

He needed to deal with this loss, but how? Talk to Ron? Hermione? Remus? No. He loved them and all, but they just wouldn't understand, the guilt, the pain, the terror of thinking he could be the cause of everyone that he loves death. He needed something eles.

Inspiration hit him. Or rather, it was a snowy white owl that hit him. Tied to Hedwig's leg was a letter clearly marked "O.W.L. results".

The letter said:

Hermione.

Harry laughed at Hermione's vigor to tell each and every subject that she would be taking.

Next

Ron

So Ron was taking the same courses as him! Perfect!

He decided that night to put his "inspiration" that he had had to work.

Next

Harry smiled to himself as he snuck out of the dursleys house. He had his trunk, Hedwig, and wand.

Sticking out his wand hand, he retreated backwards as the purple night bus appeared out of thin air.

"Hello, My name is Stan Shun-"

"I know who you are Mr. Shunpike. I'd like to go to Diagon alley please."

"Arry Potta? Its you agin. Come on in. Hey Ern! Its Arry agin!"

Harry climbed abord and found an empty bed, and paid for the trip.

He was on his way to freedom!

Authors notes:
