Please r-r I took a lot of time out of my classes *evil grin* please just take a minute and honestly tell me what you think. Thanks. I know this kind a short but let my tell u the others r longer and u'll like the short ones again

Chapter 1. The Knight Bus

The day was cold and dark and Gwen rushed out of her broken down dysfunctional house. All she brought with her was her cloak and her wand. She didn't know where she was really going but she was just happy to get away from that house. She had a faint idea of who she was going to but not of how fate would turn out. Would it be cruel or kind?

She took her wand out from her belt buckle and waved it in a curvy line in the air before dapping at the air to end her motion. A second later a big English double-decker bus appeared from the sky. The doors opened and Gwen stepped onto the bus eyeing the bus driver.

"Where to?" asked the driver in a very heavy northern English accent. Gwen took out an old very worn letter, opened it up and then replied in a stern voice.

"Four Privet Drive please." The driver looked at her strangely like he had never seen a gothic witch. Gwen did have to admit not most witches or wizards were a muggle style. The driver looked down at an old worn map then back up at her.

"That's a bit of a ways away. Why don't you take a nap? I'll wake you when we arrive at this place." He said turning back around giving Gwen another long look over. The driver was not more then 3 years older then her self, 19 at the very least. Gwen stared out the window trying not to think of all that had happened this miserable night. But soon she would be totally away from it all. She would be leaving Hulfindog, School for troubled witches and wizards and entering Hogwarts as a fifth year. It was very unusual to a person to transfer from a jail like school to the best school of witchcraft and wizardry out there.

Gwen laid down on one of the beds, not wanting to go to sleep for lack of trust in the driver. But soon with out her able to fight sleep much longer Gwen fell off into a dreamless sleep. She couldn't be any more thankful no nightmares or mere dreams had entered her mind.
