Chapter One: The Escape
In a house on Private Drive lay one of the most famous people in the wizarding world, but it also inhabited three of the most greedy and selfish people in the world; the Dursleys. There was Vernon Dursley who was a large man with a double chin and a small neck, Petunia Dursley nee Evans had a very long neck and resembled a horse, and last was Dudley their son, he was the neighborhood bully and a fat one at that. The Dursleys prided themselves on being normal and so a freak of a niece was a stain on their otherwise perfect life. Rose Potter known to the world as the defeater of Lord Voldemort and survivor of the killing curse, the lightening bolt scar on her forehead was a constant reminder of that dreadful night.
Rose has been home (if you can call it that) for a month already after her second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Like the year before (when she and her friends saved the Sorcerers Stone) she had yet another near death experience with her two best friends Ron and Hermione. Rose and Ron got Ron's little sister out of the Chamber of Secrets and she killed a basilisk on the way. Hermione was petrified at the time, but it was thanks to her clues that they finally figured it out and also using Rose's parselmouth abilities they were able to get into the Chamber of secrets. They also lost yet another Defense against the dark arts teacher.
Rose was currently laying on her bed thinking about her vacation so far. She had to literally beg just to keep her school belongings upstairs with her. At the beginning of the summer Rose swore to herself that she would learn all of the books she had and just in the month she had reread all of her books and memorized them all. Little did she know that she had what was called a photographic memory; which was helping a great deal in learning all her material faster. The reason she never new was because she was always focused on to many things at once to take her learning seriously.
Rose in the month has not only grown in intelligence but also in body. The girl-who-lived use to look like a young boy, weak and ugly with shoulder length dull black hair that wouldn't tame, and pain filled green eyes. She now stood at an average 5"4 with long wavy midnight black hair that reached her mid back and bright emerald eyes that shined with confidence and intelligence. Her breasts were C-cup and her body had all the right curves. To some people she had the smile of an angel; she was polite and respectful to most people (except Snape and Malfoy).
Rose knew it was a good idea to pick up all those books before she went home with the Dursely's or else she surly would have died of boredom. The Dursleys had been better then usual, they were actual feeding her and letting her shower occasionally with hot water. Though Rose was getting and odd feeling around her Uncle Vernon and cousin Dudley. She would catch them staring at her with a hungry look in their eyes. She was now trying to figure out a good way to leave without getting caught.
She knew she had a lot of money in Gringotts and maybe more she would have to ask the Goblins when she got there. Also over the summer she took it upon herself to learn Goblehook the Goblins language as well as their history and customs. Rose found out a lot more information on the goblins in the books she bought then in History of Magic at school. She found them fascinating their beliefs and the way they greeted each other.
"Rose dinner is ready so get your lazy ass down here so we can all eat" Aunt Petunia's voice screeched breaking through Roses thoughts.
"I'm coming" she replied
When she got downstairs her whale of a cousin and uncle were already pigging in and her long necked horse of an aunt was gossiping about what the neighbors were doing today. When she sat down her uncle turned to her and cleared his large throat.
"We as in your cousin, aunt, and I will be going to a theater show while you" he said pointing his beefy finger at me "will be staying in your room and out of trouble"
"Yes sir" she repeated. In her mind she knew it was the best time to escape and go to the Leaky Caldron where she prayed would allow her to stay for a few days. At least there she wouldn't have to put up with Aunt Marge who was suppose to becoming any day. Now that she was thirteen Aunt Marge will probably tell the Dursley's that she should get a job instead of free loading on their "nice family".
So that night after her "family" left she grabbed her stuff, wand in hand and left the house of horrors behind. She was walking down Private Drive street when she heard rustling in the bushes on her right. Looking over she sees a Bear sized black dog. She was about to scream when a memory came to her.
FLASHBACK
"Come on say padfoot you know you want to! You can do it! Come on Rosey!" A voice of a man said while waving a black dog stuffed animal before her eyes.
"pa'fo" came the gurgled reply.
"Ha yes take the Mooney I knew she loved me more" His smile wide and happiness sparkling his eyes. He had black hair and a handsome face.
"Yeah yeah you know James won't be happy about this Sirius" came a deeper voice of a man with brown hair and a pale complexion.
"Well we just won't tell him now will we" with that he began playing with the rat, dog, stag, and wolf animals. Laughter spreading throughout the small room.
END FLASHBACK
"Padfoot" she whispered out loud. Said dogs eye began wide as she began slowly begsn walking toward him with her hand out stretched and a kind smile upon her face and the moon illuminating her features. She looked like an angel. She didn't know if this dog would run, but he seemed familiar. He looked just like the stuffed animal from her memories.
Before she knew it the dog gave a loud bark and a bang was heard echoing in the street of Private Drive. She opened her eyes to see a large bus in front of her, on the side of the bus it said Night Bus. She turned back around to see that the dog was gone. She sighed to herself.
The buses door opened and a skinny tall man appeared asking if she needed help with her bags, she quickly said yes and got on the bus. She sat on one of the beds closest to the front of the bus.
"Where you heading to little lady" The man asked
"The Leaky Caldron please" she asked kindly as she put a base ball cap on her head attempting to hide her face from everyone.
"Alright that will be one gallon" she handed him said amount and laid on the bed. She was listening to the men's conversation when she heard a familiar name.
"He escaped alright; ministry is having a field day. Sirius Black wanted for killing 12 people with a single spell and for betraying the Potters to You-Know-Who".
Tears overwhelmed her eyes at the thought of her parent's death. It seemed strange though, she didn't think that they were right about him, a memory seemed to be tugging in the back of her mind.
"Last stop Leaky Cauldron!" Rose dragged her trunk off the bus and into the inn/bar.
"Hello Tom! One room for three days please" she asked the owner at the front counter. His eyes went wide when he noticed who she was; his eyes went to her forehead that was marked with a lightening bolt scar. He was about to open his mouth to greet her when she put a finger to her mouth symbolizing to be quiet. He nodded in understanding and handed her a key to one of his best rooms half off. She smiled kindly at him and headed up to her room.
The room was indeed large with a living room and a bedroom behind two large doors. The bathroom was as large as her bedroom at the Dursley's with a huge tub and shower. To say she was happy was an understatement. She would live here every summer if she could. She heard a knock on her door and went to answer it. Tom was standing there with some cookies and butterbeer.
"I figured you would want a nice snack before going to bed after your journey" he told her kindly.
"Yes thank you so much Tom, I was getting hungry" she took the tray from him and set it on the living room table. She noticed he had left so she shut the door.
Before she ate she grabbed a piece of parchment and a quill to write a list of things she needed to do before the summer ended.
List of things to do:
Talk to goblins about my account and possible other ones
Get books on advanced magic
Get into family vault look for parents journals or heirlooms
Get a few more pets
Contact Ron and Hermione when Hedwig finds me
Get new clothes, contact lenses, and hair cut
With the list of things she could think of off the top of her head completed and food gone she got ready for bed, changing into her old clothes that were way to big for her she fell into a restful sleep.
