A Way Back Home

Chapter 1
Harry jumped up; he'd just had the weirdest dream. Voldemort had been in it and there was lots of green light; that seemed too familiar! Harry sat up and looked around the room, his breathing hitched as he realised that it wasn't where he had fell asleep. He was back at the Dursley's.
"Brat! Up…NOW!" Harry just stared at the ceiling, what was going on? He thought he was rid of these mongrels. Ever since Sirius had been found innocent in Harry's third year, he'd stayed with him every summer. It was there that he'd had his first Christmas. He hadn't seen the Dursley's since; coincidentally, they'd disappeared shortly after Harry had the awkward talk with Sirius about his childhood, or lack of.
"BRAT! SCHOOL! NOW!" Harry got up reluctantly and found what looked like his uniform at the end of the bed. He got dressed and ran downstairs.
"BRAT! You're going to be late for school and I'm not taking you. Dudders isn't this much trouble; he was a good boy and went to Smeltings. You got kicked out of Stonewall and had to go to Hogwarts, School of the Arts, and frankly, I'm surprised they took you." Petunia said mockingly. At least this cleared up some of Harry's thoughts. That curse must have sent him into an alternate universe. Harry realised that the only way to find anything out would be to go to school. Harry stepped out of the door before Petunia got fully into her rant. He could be there forever otherwise. He followed the road and found that the bus left in 5 minutes.
He got on the bus, number 20, and settled in for the journey. A couple of stops down, Harry noticed a group of girls got on the bus. One girl had long brown hair with a reddish tint and bright green eyes; she was wearing the same uniform he was, so he decided to go over and see if she knew anything that could help him.
"Hi"
"Erm…hey"
"I was wondering if you could help me. I'm new to this school and I have no idea where to go."
"Okay, I'm Emily, this is Sam. We've both been going to Hogwarts since we were 11." She pointed to the girl standing next to her. She had long brown hair too, with a slight curl to the end. She smiled meekly. Harry smiled back, they seemed alright, and maybe they could help him get back.
The bus stopped and the two girls made to get off the bus and Harry followed. He got off the bus and looked for them. He saw them on the other side of the road, standing with a group of girls. Harry crossed over and walked up to Emily.
"Erm…Can you tell me which way to go?"
"Just follow that path." She pointed at a cobbled path to the right of the main entrance.
"Thanks" Harry ducked his head and started walking away. He turned as he heard a giggle coming from the group of girls behind him. They were looking right at him. Harry turned and ran.
