'See you later dad', Harry Potter called out to his dad as he passed him on the way to school. Grabbing a piece of toast, which he spied on the kitchen counter, he looked at his watch and swore. 'I'm gonna be late' he said to himself. He ran out the house, slamming the door and headed up the street in a fast pace.
His dad, still in the kitchen looked at the wall clock. Only 8.30am he thought. He doesn't need to be at school until 9am, and it only takes 10minutes walking. What's he going to be late for?
'Hey Haz' the 15-year-old's boy mate called.
'Hey Steve. Where's your girlfriend?' Harry asked.
'Oh she's with her mates'.
'That's cool'.
They set off down the road and turned down a house path. The house looked empty and creepy. All its windows were boarded up, save for one plank of wood, which was hanging on by a screw, it let in a small amount of light. The grass was over grown and Un-cared for. 'Yo!' Harry shouted as he pushed the door open.
'Hi' a tall blonde boy said, fiddling with something - a lighter. He got a cigarette out offered one to Steve and Harry. Harry was a lean boy, brown hair and green eyes. He had a scar in the centre of his forehead, like a lightening bolt his mates would say and then laugh.
Harry plonked himself down and Steve followed suit. They each took a cigarette and light up. They were all complaining about school and stuff when the boy with the blonde hair (Kyle) pulled out a joint.
'Hey guys' look what I got' he said with a smirk on his face.
'Cool' Harry replied and instantly took it off Kyle and light it. They were passing around the joint when all of a sudden they heard the bang of the front door. 'Shit' Harry said automatically, no one else knew they were there did they? Harry stood up and looked outside and saw a car, a police car.
'Crap' Harry swore again. They quickly put out the joint and ran to the back door. They raced towards the fence, hearing sounds coming from the inside of the house. With one leap each they were over the fence and headed down the muddy path that took them to the end of the road the house was on.
'Phew' Steve said. He'd been arrested before and had repeatedly stated (mainly to his girlfriend) that he didn't want a repeat performance. They brushed their trousers down and headed towards school. Upon arriving they instantly spotted their victim. A small redhead with clothes too big for him and a coat with small holes in. Harry gave a hollow laugh and nodded towards the redhead. The rest instantly followed and when they were nearly in front of their victim. A girl and her friends walked over to them. The girl started shouting.
'Where have you been?' I quote that you said 'I'll be here at 20 too' and its 5 too. You make me mad Steve, you stink of fags and weed, even though you said you didn't smoke anymore - we're through' and with that the girl turned around and stormed off with her friends nervously following her.
Steve, still shocked at what happen stood there and watched her go. It was Kyle who sprung into action
'Hey Steve you go after her, we'll manage Ron on our own' Steve gulped and nodded. He headed off in the direction the girl went.
'Hey! Ron old pal' harry shouted down Ron's ear, as if he was deaf. 'Where is it?' trembling Ron pulled out 3 books and handed them to Harry. 'We'll be getting A's from this will we?' Harry asked. Ron nodded nervously and shied back. 'Good becasue if we don't...' Harry said raising his eyebrows.
'Omg Harry!' Kyle exclaimed 'It's that car we like'.
A silver Subaru was parked opposite the school yard.
'Go get Steve' Harry motioned and walked in the direction of the car. A couple minutes later Kyle arrived with Steve and they all looked at the car.
'This is what you wanted me for?' Steve uttered.
'Nope we need a driver' Harry replied
'You what?' Steve started to say but his voice was drowned out by the school bell going off. The three of them stayed still until everyone had gone inside the school.
'Um Harry. You're not gonna?' Steve started but was cut off again but this time by the breaking off a window.
'Shit Harry!" Steve and Kyle said and ran, as a tall strong looking man came out of a shop. Harry started to run but was pulled over by someone grabbing his leg. "You boy are coming with me'.
