Daniel POV
"Harry! Daniel! Open the door!!"Aunt Petunia said and we opened the door
Aunt Marge came in and gave Harry her umbrella
"Marge, how lovely to see you"Aunt Petunia said
"Uncle Vernon, we need you to sign this form"Harry said
"What is it?"Vernon asked
"Nothing. School stuff"I said
"Later perhaps, if you behave the both of you"Uncle Vernon said
"I will if she does"I said
"Oh...you're still here, are you?"Marge said annoyed
"And I still see you're a fa-"I said but Harry covered my mouth with his hand
"You better watch your mouth boy. Damn good of my brother, they'd' been straight into an orphanage if they were on my doorstep, Vernon"Marge said
"Is that my Dudders?! Is that my little neffy-poo?"Marge said as she greeted Dudley lovingly
"Oh yes! Take Marge's suitcase upstairs"Uncle Vernon said and we took her suitcase upstairs
"Sometimes I wish I could sick Benedict on them Harry"I said
Scene Change
While Petunia, Marge, Dudley, and Vernon were eating dinner. Harry and I were cleaning
"Mm, finish that off for Mommy"Marge said as she put her plate on the floor for her mutt to lick
"Disgusting, does she know how many diseases her mutt could have, or how any one in this house could get sick if they eat of that plate?"I asked Harry
"Can I tempt you Marge?"Vernon asked
"Just a small. Excellent nosh, Petunia. Hey!"Marge said and we both looked at each other
"Don't look at me Harry, you pick it up, I've got my hands full enough"I said
Marge then sipped on her brandy before giving some to her dog
"Is she mad? She's giving brandy to a dog"I whispered to Harry
"What're you smirking at?"Marge said
"I'm not smirking"I said
"Where did you send the boys to?"Marge asked
"Saint Brutus's. It's a fine institution for hopeless cases"Vernon said
"Do they use a cane at Saint Brutus's, boys?"Marge asked
"Yes, we've been beaten loads of times"Harry said while I nodded my head
"Excellent. I won't have this namby-pamby wishy-washy nonsense about not beating people who deserve it"Marge said and Harry and I turned around
"Don't know how much I can take of this Harry, she's really pushing me off the edge"I said
"Just at least try to endure this, we'll be off to Hogwarts soon anyway"Harry said
"But you mustn't blame yourself about how this one turned out, Vernon. It's all to do with blood. Bad blood will out. What is the boys' father did, Petunia?"Marge asked
"Nothing. H-He didn't-he didn't work, he was unemployed"Petunia said
"And a drunk, too, no doubt?"Marge said and I guess Harry was at the breaking point with me as well
"That's a lie!"Harry said
"What'd you say?"Marge asked
"Our dad wasn't a drunk!"Harry said and Marge's glass broke in her hand
"Oh, don't worry. Don't fuss, Petunia. I have a very firm grip"Marge said
"I think it's time you two went to bed"Vernon said
"Be quiet Vernon. You...clean it up"Marge said and I went to clean up the mess
"Actually...it's nothing to do with the father. It's all to do with the mother. You see it all the time with dogs. If there's something wrong with the bitch, then there's something wrong with the pup"Marge said
"SHUT UP!!! SHUT UP!!! YOU KNOW NOTHING OF OUR MOTHER OR FATHER SO JUST SHUT UP YOU STUPID FAT ASS BITCH!!!!"I shouted to the top of my lungs
The lights started to flicker around the house
"Right! Let me tell you..."Marge said and she was about to say something when she noticed her finger was getting bigger like it was being inflated and the rest of her body was inflating as well like a balloon
One of the balls on her necklace popped out and hit the KooKoo Clock
"Vernon!"Marge said before she started to float
"Vernon! Vernon! Do something!"Marge said and Vernon was about to do something but the dog bit him on the ankle
All of the balls on her necklace then popped out
Then one of her buttons popped out and hit Dudley in the head making him fall and another one popped out and Dudley in the head making him fall again
Marge then began to bounce until she was flying out of the house and Vernon grabbed her hands
"I've got you, Marge! I've got you!"Vernon said but then Marge began to float higher and higher
"Don't you dare!"Marge said
"Sorry"Vernon said as she let go and Marge floated into the air, screaming
"Marge!!!!"Vernon shouted
Harry and I ran upstairs to into our room and shut the door and laid down on our beds
Scene Change
Harry and I made our way down the stairs with our trunks in our hand and our wands in the other and Benedict was on my shoulder
"You bring her back!! You bring her back right now! You bring her right!!"Vernon shouted
"No! She deserved what she got!"I shouted back and Vernon went to grab me but Harry and I pointed out wands at him
"Keep away from us"Harry said and Vernon backed up
"You're not allowed to do magic outside school"Vernon said
"Yeah. Try us"I said
"They won't let you back now. You've got nowhere to go"Vernon said
"I don't care. Anywhere's better than here"Harry said and the both of us left the house without looking back
"Finally, I never thought the day would come where we would leave"I said we walked the streets for the next two hours before stopping and we heard a dog
The both of us rested on the sidewalk and sat down
The light above us flickered
We looked back for a moment before looking forward and seeing a black dog emerge from the bushes
We stood up
The dog barked and we both fell back down onto the sidewalk
We saw what looked like a transparent bus but then it became more visible as it stopped in front of us and a man stood
"Welcome to the Knight Bus, emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard. My name is Stan Shunpike and I will be your conductor for this evening. What you doin' down there?"Stan asked
"We fell over"I said
"What'd you fell over for?"Stan asked
"We didn't do it on purpose"I said as Harry and I got up
"Well, come on, then. Let's not wait for the grass to grow"Stan said and I got onto the Knight Bus
"What you lookin' at?"Stan asked Harry but I didn't turn back, instead I took a seat and took a deep breath and let it out
Stan then gives the two of us tickets and knocks on the roof
"Take 'we away, Ern"Stan said
"Yeah...take it away, Ernie. It's going to be a bumpy ride!"A small head said before cackling
And the bus began to turn violently
"What did you say your names were again?"Stan asked
"We didn't"Harry said
"Well where about are you 'eaded?"Stan asked
"The Leaky Cauldron. That's in London"I said
"Did you 'ear that, Ern? The Leaky Cauldron that's in London"Stan said
"The Leaky Cauldron. Hey, if they have the pea soup, make sure to eat it before it eats you"The shrunken head said before cackling again
"But the muggles! Can't they see us?!"I asked
"Muggles?! They don't see nothin', do they?"Stan asked
"No, but if you jab them with a fork they feel"The shrunken head said before laughing
"Ernie, little old lady at twelve o'clock!"The shrunken head said and the bus stopped right before it her the old lady
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, three and a half, two, one and three quarters...Yes!"The shrunken head said before the bus began moving again and Harry and I saw a Stan reading the Daily Prophet and saw a man on it
"Who is that? That man"I asked
"Who is that? Who is...? That is Sirius Black, that is. Don't tell me you've never been 'earing of Sirius Black. He's a murderer. Got 'imself locked up in Azkaban for it"Stan said
"How did he escape?"Harry asked
"Well, that's the question, isn't it? He's the first one that done it! He was a big supporter of...you know who. Reckon you've 'eard of 'im"Stan said
"Yeah, him we've heard of"I said
"Ernie, two double deckers at twelve o'clock. They're getting closer, Ernie. Ernie, they're right on top of us! Mind your head"The shrunken head said while laughing as everything turned thin and we squeezed in between the two busses before going back to normal before stopping at the Leaky Cauldron
Harry and I got our stuff out of the bus
"Ah...The Potters...at last"A hunched back man said
