Author Notes: I don't own Harry Potter, the very nice lady, J.K. Rowling does. I'm doing this because I'm bored.

Late in the evening, yet another argument broke out in the Dursely's house. And yet again it evolved around the boy who lived with them, Harry Potter.

"No more! I don't care if you wont be able to contact your kind, that bird goes now!" Uncle Vernon shouted.

"You can't get rid of her! She's mine and was the first real birthday present I ever gotten!" Harry argued trying to defend his faithful companion, Hedwig.

Once again Hedwig accidentally caused another racket from boredom. When Harry got back from his fourth year of Hogwarts he found his windows locked tight and unable to be opened. He tried to let the Dursely's open it but they wouldn't have it and they knew Harry would get in trouble from the Ministry of Magic if he tried to used any kind of magic to break open the lock.

Harry tried to help his friend by leaving her able to fly around his room but it wasn't big enough for her and she soon started to get bored flying in circles around the room. Unable to fully stretch her wings. So earlier this morning Harry accidentally left the door open. Hedwig flew out hopping to be outside only she ended up flying through the house making a mess and landed in the cake Aunt Petunia just baked for Dudley before Harry could finally stop her.

"This wouldn't have happened if you locked the window! She would be perfectly fine if you'd let me open the window every once in a while!" Harry shouted.

"I won't allow you to contact your kind anymore! I was talking to one of the neighbors today and they said that they always saw a owl coming in and out of your room!" roared Uncle Vernon.

Then the giant man started to march towards the stair heading towards Harry's room.

"No!" Harry shouted as he ran up the stairs before his uncle. Slamming the door shut and locking Harry saw Hedwig on his bed with an apology look in her eyes. Harry took out his want and quickly opened the window with a quick spell. He didn't care if he'll get in trouble from the Ministry of Magic. He wasn't going to take up any more crap from the Dursely's anymore.

"Hedwig meet me in the front yard ok? Make sure to keep out of site until I get there. All right?" Harry said. Hedwig gave a small hoot and quickly flew out the window. As soon as the snowy owl left Harry quickly packed his school stuff and all the other things he'll need when he goes to Hogwarts. Harry ignored the shouted and threats from his uncle and aunt. Who where pounding on the door demanding to be let in. As son as he got everything packed the door finally broke open.

"Where is that bloody animal?" Uncle Vernon demanded.

Harry ignored him as he marched out of his room dragging his trunk behind him. Uncle Vernon had enough of this, so he quickly grabbed Harry's shoulder and backhanded him across the face. Before Harry could do anything he fell down the stairs with a stinging pain on his cheek.

Harry groaned as he slowly got to his feet. He glared with full hatred at his Uncle. He pulled out his want and shout, "Accio trunk"

The trunk quickly flew down the stairs and into Harry's arms. Harry stumbled a bit from the force but didn't fall down. Then he dragged his trunk out the door.

"Good-bye! Forever!" Harry shouted and slammed the door shut.

Harry dragged his trunk out of the driveway and then stopped trying to find Hedwig. Then the snowy owl flew down towards Harry. Harry smiled at Hedwig.

"Come on." Harry said and dragged his trunk out of Private Drive. Hedwig happily followed him flying over ahead. Happy to finally stretch out her wings.

Harry thought what to do next. He didn't have any money at all to call the bus. Muggle or wizard money. He couldn't call on his friends. Hermione was away on a trip with her parents and Ron and his family was visiting Charlie in Romania. Hedwig hooted as she landed on Harry's trunk. Her big amber eyes looked at him in question. Harry turned around to answer her.

"I guess we'll have to walk to London." Harry said. Hedwig hooted and flapped her wings to get air born.

Harry turned around to start walking but fell down as he bumped into someone. He heard Hedwig hiss at the stranger as Harry stood up dusting his clothes off.

"I'm sorry sir I didn't see-" Harry trailed off as he saw who it was. It was the last person he'd thought he'd ever see during the summer holidays. Professor Snape.
