Chapter 1 Escape from the Dursleys
In typical fashion the Hogwarts Express pulled into Kings Cross and the students began to say goodbye for the summer holidays, Everyone was sad at the fact they wouldn't see each other for the next few months but no one was more miserable then a certain black haired, green eyed, young wizard named Harry Potter. Not only was Harry miserable he was heart broken, He had lost his godfather Sirius Black the night of the raid on the Ministry of Magic, Had almost lost his best friend Hermione and had a prophecy hanging over him that said he would either have to kill Voldemort or be killed by the lunatic wizard, Needless to say things couldn't get worse until Harry spotted his uncle Vernon standing at the platform outside 9 and 3/4's.
" Well thats just great not only do I have all these problems but now I have to go spend a half summer with those fat pigs." Harry muttered to himself, He really didn't want to deal with Vernon cursing him or Dudley using him as a punching bag or something else that the muggles wanted. Harry wanted to simply take off and disappear from that kind of hell, Being on his own wasn't that hard, He had a pouch of galleons in his trunk and he could easily use the Knight Bus to get around if needed. But where was the question and how far was he willing to go to get away? Harry thought of Dumbledore and remembered how he had said that Harry had to stay with the Dursleys for a certain amount of time so he would be protected. Huh Dumbledore he's one person I'm pissed at so why should I go with the muggles? It's not like I haven't faced old Tom before and won. I could easily get away and go off to train for the war, that way next semester I'll be ready to face that bastard and knock him off his high horse. Harry thought of this a second before gathering his things from the train compartment that he had shared with Hermione, Ron and the others and began to depart the train. As he approached his Uncle he saw the members of the Order talking to Vernon and saw the color of his uncles face go death white as Moody raised his bowler hat to Vernon. Harry chuckled at bit at this imagining what Vernon must be thinking right about now and if the fat bastard needed a change in pants. He made his way over to Hermione and the others who were all saying there goodbyes for the summer.
" Well Ron mate I guess this is via con dios till next term huh " Harry said to Ron Weasley who had been staring kinda weirdly at Luna Lovegood since she joined them for the ride home, If Harry didn't know better it seemed Ron was smitten with Luna and Harry felt a happiness for the two as he knew they should treasure the time they have before the war started, He just hoped they both survived the outcome so they could enjoy their love till they grew old and Grey. " What you talking about Harry? I'm gonna owl you all summer and see if we cant get the Order to let you come visit us before school starts. Your making it sound like your not gonna be around mate." Ron said this finally taking his eyes off Luna for a second to address his best friend and "brother" who the Weasleys had accepted almost instantly as one of their own. Harry glanced at Hermione as she suddenly wrapped him in a huge hug and kissed his cheek. " I hope you will stay in touch over the summer Harry, I know those muggles are not the best to be with but we will see you soon enough eh? " Hermoine said this while looking deep into Harry's emerald orbs and she arched a brow as if she saw something that made her stop all thought. "Harry? are you all right? I didn't hurt you did I ? I know my hugs are usually a bit to tight but I didn't mean to hurt you." Hermione was saying as suddenly Harry leaned his head down and kissed her right on her soft moist lips stopping her from all coherent thought and to softly moan her approval. Ron stood slack jawed staring at the two and then everyone else seemed to noticed the cause of him looking like a goldfish out of water. " Wotcher Harry, Way to go Hermione" Yelled Tonks as almost all of the crowd saw that finally the two had found each other. Harry broke contact first and whispered in her ear softly " No matter what happens Moine remember that I love you and I will come back for you." Hermoine was swept away buy Luna and Ginny as well as a few classmates who were all giddy and clapping their approval of Harry and her finally getting it right. The poor girl was as red as the Weasley's hair and was trying to keep calm but failing quickly before giving in and joining in the giggling and woman talk.
Harry was getting pats on the back and a few way to go's from a few of his Gryffindor
friends until finally they all seemed to go back to their own thing, Harry looked at Hermione who was hugging all her friends goodbye while her parents were smiling at him knowing he had made their daughter so happy. Harry walked over to the Granger's and extended his hand in a formal fashion to them. " Um sorry about that Mister and Mr's Granger I just had to tell her how I felt. Please don't be too upset with her it was all my fault" Harry said honestly, He looked at the Granger's before looking down at the floor only to then have a arm wrapped around him in a manly fashion, He looked up to See Mr Granger with arm over his shoulder and Mrs Granger wrapping him in what seemed a typical Granger bone crushing hug. " Nonsense Harry there is no need for you to say sorry for being honest about our daughter and your feelings, In fact I'm glad you finally did it" Mrs Granger was smiling at him knowing her daughter was in love with Harry made her proud that despite Hermione's academic abilities she also found true love.
Harry broke from their embrace and walked over to his now totally enraged uncle who was being stared down by the 3 Order members, Despite the voice in Harry's head edging him to let them scare the poor man farther he cleared his throat and smiled innocently at his uncle who looked like he wanted to hang the boy for getting those "freaks" involved with the way Harry was when at his home. " Uncle I'm glad you met these folks they have been told to make sure I am delivered to you. Now whats say we head home and I'll tell you all about my school year." Harry had to bite his tongue as Vernon sneered at him but covered it with a cough and then placing a beefy hand on Harry's shoulder, He applied a firm grip and pulled him closer so he could whisper into Harry's ear " Lets go boy, I'll deal with you as soon as we get home. You think you've had it bad these past few years you ain't seen nothing yet" Harry seemed to smile sweetly as if thinking Ya you wish you fat ass, I'm outta here the second I'm outta eye shot to these "guards"
Harry placed his luggage on the trolley and Hedwig's cage rested on the top of his trunk, He strapped the stuff down tightly getting it ready so he didnt loose anything when he made his break and looked at the owl with a slight smile before whispering softly to her. " I'm doing this for a reason Hedwig I only hope you understand that later when this is over and find it in your heart to forgive me" With that being said he pushed the trolley behind his uncle as they made their way to the exits of Kings Cross. Harry's thoughts were of Hermione and the kiss plus where he would go once he was away from them all, As they exited the station Harry began to head for the parking garage that Vernon left the car in, It was a old fashion multi level structure and Harry thought of a escape plan. Vernon being up ahead didnt realize that Harry was purposely dragging his feet in a attempt to make his escape until he got to the car and popped the trunk. " Alright boy get you stuff in there and get in the backseat where you belong. " Not hearing anything behind him Vernon turned to see where the boy had gotten off too but suddenly paled to see that Harry was totally gone. He was warned by those " freaks" that if anything happened to Harry they would definitely pay back him back ten fold. " DAMN IT BOY WHERE ARE YOU ? THIS ISN'T FUNNY! " Vernon began to panic quickly and searched the area.
Hermione was talking about Harry and the kiss to her parents when they made their way out of the train station, As they made their way into the garage they heard a voice yell out " DAMN IT BOY WHERE ARE YOU ? THIS ISNT FUNNY!" Instantly Hermione knew it was Harry's uncle Vernon and rushed to the area where she found the fat man looking totally scared like a deer in the headlights. " Ummm Mr Dursley? Is everything alright?" She looks around to see where Harry is but cant see a trace of him anywhere, She starts to get scared as well and screams loudly " HARRY! WHERE ARE YOU! " Tears well in her eyes as she keeps calling for him but still no sign of the man who just said he loved her. She hadn't had a chance to tell him cause she had been swept up by the others and so she didnt tell him that she loved him with all her heart and soul. She ran back inside the station to find Tonks and Remus making their way out of the station as well, She ran up to Tonks and wrapped her arms around the young Auror crying that Harry was missing. Instantly Remus was in action and ran into the garage to se if Harry could be found while Tonks comforted the girl in her arms, Tonks yelled for Mad Eye to go tell Dumbledore the situation and then pulled a sobbing Hermione from her and looked her in the eye's. Tonks wiped off a few tears and spoke softly to the young witch " Easy now Hermione I'm sure Harry can be found, Remus is a expert at Defense so if Harry's in any trouble I'm sure he'll find him quickly enough. You need to calm down and think of that man who gave you what looked like to me a helluva kiss back there" She smiled at Hermione trying to change the subject but it failed as the girl again began crying into the Aurors robes face buried, Tonks let her eyes get watery before also crying hoping that the " boy who lived" would be safe and found quickly.
Harry pulled off his invisible cloak and smiled sadly as he was down the street out of eye shot from the station. He had gotten away and now felt bad at the fact that if his friends found out they would panic and probably worry about him until he sent word. He then looked at Hedwig who was looking at him as well and started hooting as if too say Way to go chief not only did you break that poor girls heart but you ran off without telling anyone. Harry frowned at Hedwig but left the discussion for another time. He made his way to the nearest underground in London paid a few muggle pounds for a ride on the tube and waited at the platform, He had a idea where to go next and just hoped he managed to make it before they caught on to where he was. As he waited a few folks looked at him with the trolley and a owl and wondered what the world was coming too, Harry kinda laughed at the looks he was getting and then noticed a advertisement on the wall promoting travel to of all places Canada, The title said Canada your's to discover and pictured the mountains called the Rockies.
Perfect just the place I need to get away from my troubles for now, I'm sure I can manage a plane ticket to Canada. Harry reached into his trunk and grabbed his pouch of coins as if examining the weight to see if he had enough. Oh yeah plenty to make the trip and I'm sure they have a Gringotts over there if I need more. Besides its only temporary then I'll be back to face Voldemort and get on with my life. Harry smiled at how this could easily work when the train entered the platform, He entered a car and looked at the map on the wall telling him the exact stop at Heathrow Airport he needed. He sat and thought of Hermione as the train seemed to travel faster then as a car would and he smiled at the idea of this way of travel, He listened to the sounds of it all and listened to the conductor name off the stations they arrived at, Before long Harry was starting to dose off when the announcement for the airport was called. As he gathered his things the train made its last stop and Harry exited the train in a quick manner, He then took the elevator up to the main concourse of Heathrow and gasped at the sheer size of the place.
Harry made his way around the airport till he noticed a strange looking travel agency that had signs up that read " see the world and view interesting sites. Only the unique way to travel is with Mercury Air " This struck Harry as odd cause he knew all the airline names and no one was called Mercury Air, He went into the agency and knew he had gotten lucky the second he saw a toy airplane flying around without any means of support. " Ummm excuse me? I need to see about getting a plane ticket. " Harry asked almost silently, A female agent looked up at the young man and seemed to be thinking Look kid don't waste my time, I got enough shit to worry about. but she smiled at the young man spoke simply " So where exactly do you need to go? and where are your parents? " She smiled at the youngster who seemed to be taken back by the question and was about to bust his balls when Harry spoke up quickly " I need to get to Canada and my parents are there waiting for me till I finished my schooling here in England " He looked at the agent hoping she might have bought the story when she fired back " School ya say? might I ask where you went? " the agent was tying to stall and see if the kid backed out but was surprised by his answer.
Harry thought Time to go for broke he answered truthfully " I attend a executive school called Hogwarts" he waited to see the reaction of the agent and wasn't shocked to see it register with her. The Agent seemed to go slack jaw for a second before answering " Oh really? Your at hogwarts? I went there when I was a kid too. I was in Hufflepuff house. Lemme guess by the looks of you I'd say Gryffindor right? " She smiled at the young man as if wanting him to prove her wrong, Harry simply nodded that she was right and smirked as she smiled and squealed a little before calming down and being business again. "Well sir my name is Rolena Peacecraft and how may I be of service? " Harry smiled and sat in front of her desk. " Well I need to get to Canada like I said but all I have on me is Galleons is that OK?" She smiled and nodded as well " Of coarse sir we accept all currency's and are even willing to change them to muggle money in case, But first lets get you that ticket and then we will help you with other troubles, Could I get your name please?" Harry kinda paled at that idea, He hadn't thought of leaving his name and it wouldn't do good to have a paper trail telling the Order that he left for Canada so he blurted out the first name he thought of. " My name is Dennis McGregor " he smiled at how easy the name came to him and no one would think of such a link to him, Harry had studied a bit about Aurors and this was part of their training, If he followed that field he was a shoe in for the job with all his concealment. " OK Mr McGregor I can have you on the next flight which is in 30 minutes and arrives in Toronto in about 5 hours. We will issue you a temporary passport and get you settled with Muggle money as well. Our fee is simply 50 galleons for it all. (( AN I don't know the currency exchange but since galleons are pure gold I'm making a guess))
Harry paid the fee and had about 150 galleons left in the pouch, He took out 100 and had them exchange it for about 500.000 pounds. He placed that in the pouch and then looked at all the stuff he needed when he arrived in Toronto. He also paid first class for him and Hedwig was placed in a special pet compartment that allowed her to stretch her wings a bit on the plane, Harry thanked Rolena for all her help and was told that his flight was at gate 7 in 5 minutes now. Harry rushed off and made the flight easily as his stuff was loaded into the holding area, He was lead to his first class seat and was shocked to see that despite the plane looking normal he was in front of a fireplace and the lighting wasn't to harsh on his eyes like the normal lights on a plane, A small elf made its way up and down the aisles asking if anyone wants refreshments or a bite to eat. Harry sat and ordered a steak and kidney pie with a butter beer and smiled hungrily as the food appeared, A voice came over the intercom and announced that they were beginning their departure and would arrive in 5 hours at Pearson International in the city of Toronto.
Harry looked out the window as they took off and his thoughts were back with Hermione, Softly he whispers I'm sorry Mione I promise I'll be back just remember that I love you with all my heart and soul He let the tears fall but didnt sob or cry aloud. He remained seated and put the chair back to a full recline so it was like a bed, He then fell asleep while miles away a brown bushy haired young woman stopped crying in her pillow as softly whispered as if hearing a voice. Harry?
