I ran. Ran as fast and as far as I could with my trunk dragging behind me. I was crying, though I had no idea why.

I think the gravity of the situation finally sunk in. I was homeless. Fantastic.

They wouldn't let me back in their house. Not like they wanted me there in the first place, though.

I could go to Ryan's, I thought, but quickly decided against it. It was getting late, and I didn't want to bother them.

I was tired, out of breath, and physically drained. How much stuff do I have in my trunk, anyway?

I sat down on the sidewalk and rested my head on my knees.

I heard a noise from across the street in the bushes. A big, black dog came out of the bushes. It looked like it was...staring at me? I stood up, ready to run at any time.

The dog ran across the street to me, happily barking and jumping at me. I laughed a little.

"Hey", I greeted him. I knelt down and started to pet him. "You must be lonely out here, huh?"

I swear it nodded at me.

The dog stepped closer and snuggled against me, licking my face. "Hey!", I exclaimed, giggling.

Just then, I realized my wand had fallen out of my pocket. I reached down and grabbed it, stretching my arm as well.

All of the sudden, a huge, purple double-decker bus pulled up, and the dog ran off.

I took the bus-the Knight Bus, it's apparently called-to the Leaky Cauldron.

I wonder what happened to that dog.
