The Wizard's Tale

Prologue-Lumos

Harry took a step forward, clutching his wand in his right hand so hard that the wand could've broke. He was trying to sneak out of the Dursley home and go back to Hogwarts. They wouldn't let him go, they claimed they needed him for "important reasons". But Harry knew it was all a trick. Thinking of all this, he converted his walk into a jog.

The open door from which he was going to escape through was closing. He ran now, panting at each step. The light was getting dimmer by each second. It was a sign he was close.

The light finally left altogether, and Harry knew he made it to the door. Now just to light his wand and walk through.

"Lumos", he whispered, and the tip of his wand shone with bright light. He looked up to face the door and a panicked expression splashed over Harry's face.

The door was closed, Harry didn't make it in time. What was worse, he was locked in.
