^********^ The Knight Bus rolled out of Privet Drive and deeper into London. "Hey Harry!"
"Oh hello Ernie," replied Harry to the sudden outburst from Ernie.
"Where would you like to go today mate?"
"The Leaky Cauldron please, I need a place to stay until my friends arrive and I go off to Hogwarts this year."
"Okay then Harry, what would you like to have this time? A bed, toothbrush, chocolate (for a boost) or a butterbeer. We have changed the pricing around. Everything you get costs 15 sickles and if you get everything it is 1 galleon and you get a free meal at the Leaky Cauldron," Ernie said.
"I'll have everything then and oh yeah Ernie."
"Yeah Harry."
"Most muggles are not accustomed to seeing lampposts and mailboxes jump out of the way of cars, so you might want to steer clear of them," Harry suggested.
"Oh yes of course," muttered Ernie a little embarrassed.
Harry settled down on his bed after giving Ernie his galleons. He could not believe his stroke of luck. He had gotten out so easily. Hopefully this year he would get off that easy with all the other things, like Hermione. Harry brushed his teeth and sat on his bed, finishing up his chocolate and butterbeer.
"What's on your mind Harry?" asked Ernie.
"Oh there's a 5th year party at Hogwarts this year," replied Harry.
"Oh I remember that. Worried about getting your girl to come? Anyone would want to come with the famous Harry Potter. Who is the lucky one?"
"My best friend Hermione," said Harry with a grin.
"Oh. That makes things a bit different then. Why do you want her if she is your best friend anyways?"
"Well, she is my best friend and all but lately I've been getting feelings for her. I don't know if she feels the same way either," Harry sighed.
"You got yourself a situation there. Why don't you just ask her or something? "said Ernie.
"I don't have the guts to do it," Harry said.
"Don't tell me you don't have guts. You have shown up.He Who Must Not Be Named.5 times and you don't have the guts. You can't tell me you don't have guts," replied a shocked Ernie. Harry laughed and turned away. 'I didn't love Voldemort though, I hated him,' Harry thought.
Harry fell asleep and for half an hour slept peacefully. Ernie woke Harry up when they arrived at the Leaky Cauldron. Tom greeted Harry and invited him inside. Tom gave Harry room 18 and got his belongings up to Harry's room.
"Oh you do look dreadful don't you hun," observed the mirror.
"Thank you for that assessment," replied Harry to the remark.
Harry plopped down onto his bed and dozed off, exhausted from his journeys that night. At 10:07 Harry woke up, feeling restored and ready to face the day.
"What are you doing here?" asked Harry as he looked up to see Mrs. Weasley step through the door.
