Wherever you are

RING, RING, RING... an alarm clock just suddenly went off. It was a bright sunny morning when Draco awoke from his dreamless sleep. . He looked into the mirror and stared at his gray blank eyes. At that very same time Harry was already working at his Auntie's garden pulling all the crab grass. He better is finished by 9:30 or he won't eat his lunch. Harry rubbed his hungry stomach, he paused for a while and looked at the sky. There were no clouds shading him from the piercing sunrays.

Waiting in the dining table was Draco. He was served with numerous plates containing different kinds of food. There were eggs, bacons, fried rice, hotdogs, hams, and pancakes. He looked at them and started eating with pleasure. After he ate his breakfast he got ready to go to Diagon Alley to buy his 5th year school supplies. It was only 3 days before they go back to Hogwarts. He was not that excited but he is looking forward to something. But he was glad he was going back. He's got nothing to do in their big dull house.

As his sweat run all over his face he just thought that this afternoon he was going to be picked up by the Weasley's to bring him to the Hogwarts Express the next 2 days. He just thought what kind of transportation they were going to use this time.

"Potter! Hurry up boy! The grass isn't going to pull itself." His Auntie snarled at him. "Yes Ma'am" he answered back. "After that you can go and clean the bathroom upstairs, I think Dudley made a mess a while ago." She said to him. "Why don't you make him clean it up? It's his mess," he angrily said to her. "How dare you say that to me!" she snapped at him. "I clothed you, fed you, let you sleep at MY house!" "Yeah clothed me with rags, fed me with your left overs and thank you for letting me sleep in a room fit for a rat in 11 years…

"Harry!" someone screamed but Harry could not see anyone there besides his Aunt and him. "Harry, sorry we came to early. Now let's go" Now he heard George's voice. "Up here Harry!"

Harry saw Ron, Fred and George riding in their broomsticks. In 30 seconds they came down and walked to Harry and Aunt Petunia. "Now Harry get your bags and let's go" Fred said. "Mum is waiting for us at the Burrow she prepared a huge meal for all of us!" Ron said closing his eyes to remember the smell.

"Good thing you came along. I WAS just going up stairs to fix my things" then he looked at his Aunt with his angry eyes. And likewise she looked him with hers. "I'm going now THANKS for all!" then he ran to the house with Fred and George and took his belongings.

"Goodbye…Aunt Petunia…Oh," Harry said as his broom lifted him to the air. "DUDLEY MADE ANOTHER MESS IN THE BATHROOM…GOODLUCK" he shouted as his broom took him high into the sky.

It felt good to be just free and letting the wind blow in your face. This is what Harry was longing to feel, he had been stuck with the Dursley's all his life. His only escape was Hogwarts. He was glad that he would be going back to Hogwarts in 3 days. He missed Hermione, Quidditch, and Hagrid even Snape. He couldn't imagine his life without Hogwarts.

By the time Harry left the Dursley's Draco is just outside his house waiting for his ride to take him to Diagon alley. His mother was going with him so they had to wait for their car. But if he prefers it he couldn't wait the time he could have his license to apparate. "What's taking the car so long?" he nagged his mother. "It must be that new driver your dad get that's taking so long" his mother said with disgrace.

"HONK…HONK…" and their car finally showed up. "I'm sorry Sir and Ma'am I think I took so long to start the car. The car was different to me. By the way I'm Nigel your new driver." He said raising his hand to shake Draco's but Draco ignored it and got into the car saying to him "Excuses…" "O…k…of to Diagon Alley"

"Nice day isn't it? I think it's so nice. The sky is so blue. I think its going to rain later don't you?" Nigel tried to make a conversation but the Malfoy's just ignored him. "So…Draco is it. I think that's a nice name. Going back to school? What year are you in Hogwarts? I think…I think…maybe you're in 6th year? I was just thinking about my 6th year, it was so hard… but I think you'll do just fine, I think your family are smart people…" but Draco can't take it anymore one more "I think this, I think that…" he is going to explode of irritation.

"DO you know what I THINK? I think you should shut up. I think you are irritating and I think you are disgusting" he said angrily. "Now Draco don't be rude," his mother said. "Nigel, we just like to keep it quiet all the time. Is that ok?" "Oh… Yes Ma'am Narcissa. I'm sorry Sir Draco," he said apologetically.

It was the first time Nigel is driving the Malfoy's car." My head hurts looking at all these buttons" he said while looking at the different shaped and colored buttons. "Amateur…" Draco hissed. It so happens that there are so many unfamiliar buttons and triggers inside the car. He is starting to be confused. "Oh No I'm loosing control of the car!"

Then out the blue a raging bus is darting towards them. "Look out Nigel the bus!" Mrs. Malfoy screamed. "Mom!" Draco tried to take the wheel. "Hold ON!" Nigel panicked and got really confused. He tried to get the car to the side. He managed to make the car get out of the way but still the bus hit the backside of the car. It so happens that Draco was the backseat passenger. Draco was looking directly at the bus then…

As Harry, Ron, Fred and George headed for the Burrow Harry saw something down on the ground. "Hey guys it seems there was an accident" Harry told them. "Yeah. Looks like a bad one to, the cars' smashed at the end man" Fred said in disappointment. "Well let's be thankful it's not our buts out there" George said in relief. "But I feel something bad…" Harry whispered this to himself.
