As Harry walked into the room, he braced himself to run, for the person right in front of him he remembered quite vividly. It was only a few months ago that Harry stood there, across from the Dark Lord, scared out of his wits, with a jeering crowd around him. Harry had thought that Voldemort would want to find Harry himself, but apparently he was too busy killing others to make room for Harry.
Harry stepped inside, glad that he stole Aunt Petunia's concealer for his scar, and had finally gotten magical contacts. All this changed Harry's appearance quite a bit. He had also gone through a growth spurt, and was at least three inches taller then when he had met this man. And the last difference in his appearance is that, at Hogwarts, he had been fed well, and fit nicely into his robes. Now that it was well past the middle of the summer, Harry was extremely thin and bony.
So the Death Eater saw Harry, and didn't think that he looked anything like the Potter boy. Harry started to get dizzy...Flashback, to right before Harry was kicked out (A/N: Twilight Zone music...)
Harry had been depressed all summer, and his cooking was suffering. Unfortunately, Dudly had lost fifty pounds, and Aunt Petunia couldn't stand to see him so pale, and not eating. So Harry was cooking again. After he had burnt the bacon, said to Uncle Vernon, "Merlin's beard!" and was being yelled at and screamed at and cursed at, A school owl had flown in with Harry's school list, with the absolute worst timing.
It had flown out before Uncle Vernon had started beating Harry. Hedwig flew downstairs, and started squawking loudly. Vernon grabbed Dudly's new unused baseball bat, and hit the scared owl.
Vernon Dursly muttered five simple words, "Get out of my house." And Harry got all of his supplies, and left the house. He wanted to go to Hermione', but she was in Ireland, visiting Seamus. And Ron didn't live anywhere within walking distance. So he would take the knight bus...
(Back in real life) Harry was steadying himself, and the man said, "This is not the boy who I am looking for. And Harry was escorted back to his bunk, and went to sleep.
~*~
Harry woke up to crickets chirping, birds singing, and two freckled faces that seemed to follow him everywhere. Realizing where he was and who they were, Harry groaned. Harry realized that he might as well make use of having the twins follow him around. He decided to continue asking about the escape.
"Well, he climbed out of that window, and snuck over to that part of the fence, he called it a 'blind spot' I think, and tried to get over the fence, but he couldn't. Someone saw him and screamed, and that woke up all the people who pulled him down."
"Well, I cant use my invisibility cloak, because it's under my broom..."Harry thought to himself. "I'll just have to do it all the muggle way: without magic."
Harry made it through the day all right, sneaking away from Edward and Emily whenever he could. That night, around 10:30, he decided to put his plan into action. Back at Hogwarts, he had his trunk magically enlarged, so it could fit everything into it and not way more than five galleons.
He snuck out the window, found his way to an area of the fence that looked easier to climb over, and found the first foothold. Halfway up...on top of the fence...Harry jumped off. He was on his way to Hogwarts. But what he didn't realize, was that two freckled faces were also.
