A/N Hey guys thanks for your helpful reviews! I have decided not to make
this chapter a songfic. The only reason the other two were was because
well, there was only supposed to be one chapter, but then I got the idea
for Harry, and it didn't seem right not to make his a songfic too, lol. So
anyway here is the next chapter, I hope you like where the story is going.
If you don't like how something is developing, just tell me, I'm very
flexible when it comes to my readers! ^_^ Also the rating is still PG due
to err cursing, lol nothing bad I just don't want to be yelled at if
someone gets all freaked over the word 'damn'. However the rating will
change in later chapters for ..well violence.
Disclaimer-I don't own Harry Potter or anything..although I sometimes wonder if I didn't put a disclaimer if I really would get sued.I mean think about it, do lawyers of JKR really read slash, its kinda creepy if you think about it.

Chapter 3: One Way Ticket
'Idiot, Idiot, Idiot!!!'
Of course this was just prefect, Draco Malfoy had finally been able to break free of his father, and he had done so without a plan, without any supplies, and without more then 20 galleons. And why, why had he done such a foolish thing that was so out of character? Harry Potter. Yes even if he hadn't seen the celebrated boy who lived in over two months, he had still somehow managed to screw up his life. After leaving the manor about a week ago Draco had taken the Knight Bus to a small wizarding village where he stayed in a humble tavern and lived off bits of well.whatever kind of food that was cheap. He felt so filthy and well for lack of better term; poor. However none of those negative feelings could hold a candle to the feeling of freedom coursing through his veins.
"MALFOY!!! Your payment was due yesterday, I want the money now boy"
The scratchy voice of the owner came bellowing down the hall of the tavern. Due to the fact that the particular town Draco was staying in was surrounded by Muggle towns and more or less isolated from the wizarding world he felt comfortable releasing his last name. It's not like he wanted to travel under some half-ass alias like Longbottom. Ha there's a laugh.
"Damn."
Quickly pulling his robes around himself and pocketing his wand Draco slipped out the window to his room, straightened his robes, ran a hand through his fine hair, and walked silently down the empty streets. Deciding it was best to leave the town Draco determined a Muggle town was his best bet for security.

'WHAT was I thinking??!!'
Harry Potter crouched under a tree to catch his breath.
'Did I actually believe that I could just leave and no one would come after me?!'
He had been running on and off for about a day now. Somewhere along the line Hedwig had located him and he had requested that she return to the Dursley's and retrieve some of his money. Truth be told Harry hadn't the slightest idea as to where he was going. All he knew was that any place was better then the Dursley's and any situation that could distract him from his conscience was welcomed. It was a sticky hot August day and all he wanted was a cool glass of water. He could vaguely make out the outskirts of some small town which appeared to be scarily populated.
'Well I suppose it can't be worse then here, and besides no one will think to look for me there.'

"Albus!! Albus!" A rather frustrated Severus Snape yelled into the office of Albus Dumbledore in which at the moment was quite perplexed.
"Yes, what is it Severus?" Questioned Dumbledore trying to keep his voice composed in order to calm the rather ruffed professor before him.
"It's Potter! The boy foolishly ran from his house early this morning." Replied Snape sharply and to the point.
"The same day the Death Eater's---"Started Dumbledore
"Yes, my thoughts exactly." Snape finished
"Inform Black and Lupin, and notify the Ministry that I'd like to keep this under wraps, we don't need this information publicized in the Daily Prophet or so forth." Dumbledore advised Snape.
"Understood"

Well not as long as I thought it would be. The next chapter should get some more violence in it and secrets will be revealed. Could it be that Drac and Harry will meet in this alleged 'small town'? And what's up with the Death Eaters? I guess I'll have to answer my own questions in the next chapter, which should be done by the end of this week.err like by Friday. So please review and offer suggestions and so forth!! Tnx ~Curly~*~
