Chapter 1 The Great Escape
"I will catch you, you fuzzy son of a bitch"
"Many times you have said that, but you have still yet to do so pup"
Dean thought the fur ball masquerading as a wolf was laughing at him, he on the other hand was not amused.
"You do know that we've been at this for four months right?" Dean asked as he collapsed in the snow.
Dean was currently in his dreamscape, chasing what was supposed to be his animagus form, however, considering that he had been doing this for four months, he was currently failing in regards to the actual catching part of what seemed to be the world's longest game of tag.
"It is not my fault that you seem to be incapable of catching me." The wolf was lying on its back with its paws in the air, its long tongue hanging out its mouth, giving the overall impression of playful puppy as opposed to wild animal.
Suddenly the whole world seemed to shake and blur. The wolf got up off the ground and looked around for a moment.
"It would seem our fun is being cut short tonight, until tomorrow then."
Dean had one last impression of a wolfish grin before opening his eyes to see a bleary eyed looking Sam, and behind him a worried looking Ron.
"Time to go?" Dean asked.
"Yeah" Sam replied.
With that the three boys quietly made their way downstairs and out of the house. Nobody had heard from Harry since the holidays had started six weeks ago, and to make matter worse, according to Uncle Arthur, Harry had been given an official warning from Improper use of magic office for breaking The Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery three days ago, add this to the overall impression Harry gave of his relatives, Dean, along with Sam and Ron decided that they were going to go and stage a rescue mission.
The three boys managed to get Uncle Arthur's Ford Anglia started, out of the shed, and driving down the road with no one in the house seeming the wiser.
Thanks to Uncle Arthur's 'tinkering' the car was bigger on the inside then it was on the outside, so the three boy's could fit comfortably in the front seat, it also had an invisibility feature, which Dean had turned on right away so they didn't get pulled over by the cops, and while the car also had the capability of flying, Dean was driving and he refused to let the vehicle leave the ground.
Ten minutes into the drive found Dean fiddling with the radio till he found a station he liked, and he shot a grin at his brother as the first cords of the song came through the speakers.
Ridin' down the highway
Goin' to a show
Stop in all the by-ways
Playin' rock 'n' roll
Dean couldn't help but sing along.
Gettin' robbed
Gettin' stoned
Gettin' beat up
Broken boned
Gettin' had
Gettin' took
I tell you folks
It's harder than it looks
"Come on Sammy sing with me" Dean said grinning at his brother like a loon.
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you think it's easy doin' one night stands
Try playin' in a rock roll band
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
By the end of the song even Ron had worked out the chorus and was joining in, and so they spent the three hour journey listening to music and telling Ron some of the funnier stories from their hunting days.
Soon thought Dean found himself parking the car out the front of number four Private Drive.
"My god this neighbourhood is oppressive, how do people live like this?" said Dean
Sam just snorted and shook his head at his brother.
"Ok Ron I need you to stay with the car." Dean said
"What!? But I can help you!" Ron squawked.
"Have you ever successfully broken into a house before?" Sam asked with a raised eyebrow.
"No. Stay with the car. Got it." Ron replied looking dejected.
With that Dean and Sam made their way towards the house. Dean made short work of the lock and the two quickly made their way inside.
Dean only had a quick look around downstairs, but he did notice that Harry wasn't in any of the family photos. Making his way upstairs Dean quickly identified which room was Harry's and what he saw pissed him off, he then felt Sam tense at his back, and he knew his brother felt the same way. The Door to Harry's room had been fitted with a padlock and a cat flap, as if he was some animal that needed to be caged. The keys were thankfully next to the door. The room itself could be described as Spartan, a desk, a wardrobe and a bed. Hedwig's cage also appeared to be locked, which explained why Harry hadn't written to them.
Nudging Sam he pointed to the owl and his brother immediately went to go keep the bird calm while Dean made his way over to Harry who was asleep on the bed. Gently placing his hand over the boys' mouth so he couldn't scream, Dean nudged him awake. As expected Harry was startled and fought against Dean at first, but then seemed to realise who was holding him and relaxed.
"Dean?" Harry whispered, and he could hear the desperate hope in the boys' voice.
"Come on, we're here to bust you out" he whispered back, giving Harry his best grin. "Grab your stuff, let's blow this Popsicle stand."
"All my Hogwarts things are locked in the cupboard downstairs." Harry whispered.
"Alright, we'll pack up everything in here and grab it on the way out." Dean said. He could feel his jaw twitching, he wanted nothing more than to go ten rounds with Harry's relatives at that moment.
The three of them made short work of Harry's room, but that was due to that fact that he didn't have much, made their way downstairs to collect Harry's trunk, wand and broomstick, and were then out the door. Dean and Sam quickly stowed Harry stuff in the back seat, got in the front with Ron and Harry and pulled away from the curb.
Once they pulled out of Privet Drive everyone relaxed.
"You came" Said Harry.
"Of course we did, you weren't answering any of our letters, and we got worried." Said Sam.
"Thanks" Harry replied, a huge grin lighting up his face and for that, it made whatever trouble he may get into with Aunt Molly if (when) she found out what they did, worth it.

To clear up any confusion, John and Bobby are in the Supernatural Universe while Sam and Dean are in the Harry Potter Universe, and the events in the epilogue of Book I and the prologue of Book II are hints for a later story arc.
