Disclaimer I don't own Harry Potter

Summary: How will RENT be if Harry Potter is in there? What I mean a 13 year old Harry Potter who ran away from home after blowing up his Aunt Marge.

A.N.1 The RENT I am talking about is the 2005 Movie because unfortunately, I haven't seen the musical. Everything is canon up until Harry ran away from home before his third year. Please don't mind the year inconsistencies.

Warning: OOC Characters, Grammar and Spelling Mistakes (I have no Beta) and of course cursing and sexual themes (This is RENT after all)

Chapter 1: Running Away

'I need to get out of here! They'll snap my wand and I just can't let them! It's the only protection that I'll have if Voldemort was to ever return. But where should I go? Common sense tells me to go as far away from the Wizarding world since they're all idiots when it comes to the Muggle world. Muggle world it is then but where? I don't know anyone here in England? Wait, should I even stay here in England? What if a muggleborn saw me? Outside the country then? But where?' Harry thought quite frantically as he grabbed all of his belongings and placed them to his trunk.

He then let Hedwig free and told her to go hunt and find him in a week's time. Hedwig is a smart bird; she'll know what he meant.

Running outside of the disgustingly normal house, Harry stopped when he reached a park for a thought struck him. He doesn't have any money!

Maybe a visit to his vault is in order but what if they're waiting for him in Gringotts! What should he do? Wait, doesn't he own an invisibility cloak? Why doesn't he use it to sneak in to Gringotts. And he has his key so it's not technically stealing if he's going to his vault. But then what? He couldn't possibly use wizarding money to be able to live in the muggle world! He needed to convert it.

What if he only showed his to the goblins? Would it be enough?

Okay enough of that, he has so little time in his hands before the ministry comes barging in to the Dursleys. What he needed to do now is to somehow arrive into Leaky Cauldron. Should he fly? Okay that is quite stupid. Floo? Nope, not possible for he needed to find a floo powder.

"Oh my god, I've been staying in the wizarding world for so long. My common sense is slowly dying! For god sake, why did it take me so long to think of using the muggle's way? Bus anyone or maybe a taxi cab?" Harry muttered to himself as he put his hands to the pocket of his coat. Wait, what wallet is this? He doesn't own any wallet so who- JACKPOT! He remembered that he took his uncle's coat as a sign of annoying him even more before he left that goddamn house for good.

Looking at the wallet's contents he couldn't help but thanked his lucky stars. His uncle seems to be loaded! Imagine, his uncle seems to have a thousand pounds in his wallet!

Now, he doesn't need to go anywhere near Leaky Cauldron. What he needs now is a place to stay for the night particularly somewhere in London where the Ministry won't easily find him. The rest, he'll think about later once he finally rested for the night.

Walking down the street as fast as he could while rolling his trunk behind him, Harry finally arrived at a bus station.

A few minutes later and a bus arrived.

"Where does this bus go?" Harry asked the conductor.

"London. Are you going to come in?"

"Yes please."

"Let me help you with that one." The conductor said while helping Harry brings his trunk up the bus.

"How much to London?" Harry asked.

"2 pounds."

"Here." Harry said as he gave the conductor exactly 2 pounds.

While waiting for the bus to arrive to London, Harry couldn't help but drift into a dreamless sleep until the conductor woke him up.

"it seems that I was tired. Thank you for waking me up." Harry politely said while following the conductor bringing out his trunk outside.

"No problem lad. Anytime."

Walking around, he found a small inn. There he made a story of how he only arrived in London to visit a sick relative but it seems that he got lost so he just need to stay for a night in this lovely establishment.

How he came this on the spot convinces Harry that he has this inner Slytherin inside him after all. Thinking about it while lying down on one of the inn's comfortable bed, thinking like a Slytherin doesn't really sound bad at all. It's not as if he's evil. It's just that he's got to use more of his brain in surviving.

That was the last thought Harry has before he fell into a deep sleep.

A.N.2 Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed it. Sorry no RENT this chapter nor will there be on the next chapter. But no worries, I promise on the third chapter, RENT will come in. Again sorry if it's short. See you on the next chapter.
