Not a gust of wind in sight.
"Come on Harry" shouted 9 year old Lily as the lunch bell rang. "We got to run if we want the tree spot"
Harry as fast as he could, placed his school books back into his desk, grabbed his lunch bag and took off after his best friend.
Harry and Lily had been friends for over 3 years to this day. They did everything together. Harry even spent all his weekends over her house with her mother and father, rather than spend his time locked in the cupboard under the stairs with his Aunt and Uncle. Speaking of his family from hell, both Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon had no idea what Harry did while over at the Aarons' house. They believed that Lily's dad Joe needed him for slave work around the house. But surely they would begin to question it now. How much work does a house need? It's been three years and they still believe they are working in the yard.
Harry and Lily ran as fast as they could. The tree spot was a highly coveted spot throughout the whole school. It was the most shaded during the hot days and could block out the wind in the cold ones. But one problem came with wanting to sit under the tree. Dudley Dursley and his gang.
Dudley was the feared bully. Everyone was scared of him and he knew it. No one dared go up against Dudley and his gang, not unless you wanted to go home with a black eye. So most of the time Dudley and his gang sat under the tree deciding who they were to punch next.
Lily let out a high giggle as Harry caught up with her. She loved to race him to the tree it was just what they did. Yet when they reached the tree they so wanted to eat under they weren't the only ones getting there.
It was Dudley and his followers. "Clear out you freaks" snorted Dudley. Harry did always say he looked like a pig wearing a wig. "This is our lunch spot"
Lily placed her hands of her hips and glared at him "Don't see you name on it" Harry glanced sideways at his friend. It wasn't good to make Dudley angry.
"What was that FREAK?!" Dudley shouted "Your giving me your lunch?"
Before she could react one of Dudley's followers had snatched her lunch bag from her hands and had handed it Dudley. From the bag he pulled a sandwich , a banana, a fruit drink and one very large chocolate covered muffin made by Mrs Aarons herself.
Lily lunged towards Dudley with her hands out wide. "Give it back" she sobbed as she realised she probably wouldn't be getting it back. "Mummy made it for me"
The gang laughed as the little girl tried her best to retrieve her lunch. "Your wrong, your mummy made it for me" and with that Dudley shoved the Muffin into his mouth and bit down hard. While the gang laughed Harry was trying to grab onto his friends hand to pull her out of the way. He thought he had succeed in doing just that, until a flash of as brown hair flew past his left cheek into the direction of the school bullies.
One thing Harry did know was that Lily could get hot tempered really fast. And to prove it here she was running straight towards the bullies in a moment she would regret this Harry knew that for sure.
With his hands tied behind his back so to speak, Harry watched Lily race forward and out of nowhere push Dudley into the dirt. The gang abruptly stopped laughing. This wasn't good.
Dudley's face had twisted in anger. No one dared stood up to him, especially not a stupid little girl. He pulled himself off the ground and began rolling up his sleeves. This action was one everyone knew as the moment someone was going to get punched up.
Harry did all he knew he could to get to safety. "RUN !" ye yelled as Dudley began to move forward with his gang right behind him.
Himself and Lily turned fast on their heels and began to run as fast as they could. Too bad that Dudley and his gang were right behind them. Just ahead of them was the corner of the schools yard. Just around the corner were the school bins. That was it ! if they got there fast enough they could hide behind the bins and watch the gang run past them and away from where they hid.
"We need to get behind the bins" Harry puffed as they ran.
Lily just nodded as they continue to run. As a matter of fact, even though Harry didn't look fast at all, he was pretty quick.
They were getting closer and closer, they had nearly reached the corner. Harry reached out and grabbed Lily's sleeve of her T – shirt in hopes to help her crouch down behind the bins.
The moment he had a firm grip of her shirt his world went dark and it seemed as though he was being squeezed through a really small tube. As quickly as the feeling came it was gone and Harry could see his surroundings. He wasn't on the ground anymore, instead his feet slip on ... ROOF TILES ?!
Harry took more notice in where he was. He was nowhere near the bins, instead somehow he had gotten on the ROOF?! Looking to his left Harry saw Lily grab hold of the school chimney. No one understood why the school had a chimney but they did.
"WHAT ARE WE DOING UP HERE?! Lily screamed she had a fear of heights.
Harry opened and closed his mouth several times. He didn't understand how they had gotten up here. Had a gust of wind picked them up while they were running?
"MR POTTER ! MISS AARONS ! What do you think you are doing up there??" came the voice of Principle Mitchel from on the ground. "Get down this instant !"
If only he knew how to. Its not like he wanted to be up here, he just wanted to be out of the reach of Dudley and his gang. Harry stopped for a moment 'Out of reach?' he thought could it be possible that he really did want to be up here? That it was magic?
