Harry Potter and The Counterflex Potion
Chapter 2: The Escape
Harry had managed to stay out of Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia's way,
and occasionally avoiding Dudley. When there was only a couple of days before
he would be escaping to go over to the Weasleys for the week. The one night,
before dinner, Hedwig accidently got out of his cage. Uncle Vernon had a fit, and started
yelling. Then, by accident, Hedwig went outside and started flying around 4 Privet Drive.
Aunt Petunia was hysterical, screaming that he would never see the end of this,
if the neighbors saw him or noticed anything suspicious. Harry told them that if they would
let him let Hedwig out of his cage more, he wouldn't want to escape so badly. But, Harry
was convinced that if he didn't go get Hedwig, the muggles in the neighborhood would notice
something, and before he could say a word of protest, it would be headlines in The Quibbler
or The Daily Prophet.
So Harry called his owl, and when he got back into the house, with the owl perched on
shoulder, Uncle Vernon decided that Harry was going to have to stay locked up in his room.
Of course, that would make things more difficult for when the Weasleys would come try and
get Harry to stay with them, but all the same he didn't mind. There wasn't much to do in
his room, the 5th years hadn't gotten any homework, as a result of all the tests they had taken.
Harry was just glad that he hadn't had any unsuspected surprises from dementors
this year, and that he hadn't gotten into any worse trouble than he had. He sat back, and
started thinking of how different things were going to be this year at Hogwarts. He would be
in his sizth year, and hopefully get to play a lot of Quidditch. The Gryffindors would need to
find 2 knew bludgers, now that Fred and George had started their Magic Shop, and
he wondered yet again who the knew Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher would be.
Harry had had a different Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher every year
since he had been at Hogwarts, and he wouldn't be surprised if it continued that way.
Just as Harry was drifting off to sleep, he heard a knock coming from his window.
Harry jumped up and looked at his window. At least the Dursleys didn't
put bars on my window this time, he thought. He was expecting to see Ron
poke his red head in the window, and tell him to come, but he didn't. Instead,
a little house elf with rather large ears climbed through the window. "Doby!"
Harry whispered, trying not to wake up the Dursleys. "Doby says hi sir, for he
as come to help you escape and arrive at the Weasley's house safely, sir."
"Are you the Weasley's house-elf now?" Harry asked him.
"Yes, sir Doby is honered to be so too sir. Doby will also be returning
to Hogwarts, when it starts up again as well."
"That's great!" Harry said smiling.
"Harry Potter must get his stuff, before his relatives wake up."
Harry got up and picked up his only suitcase, Hedwig's cage, and
his broomstick, and climbed out the window after Doby.
"Goodbye 4 Privet Drive!" he said excitedly, and climbed out the window.
Once he was outside, he realized something.
"Uhh..Doby, exactly how are we going to get to the Weasley's house?"
he asked.
"Harry Potter, must follow Doby and he will find out, sir." Doby responded.
Harry shrugged, and followed Doby to the front of their house.
"Oh no, Doby we can't go back in!" he whispered.
"I have some Floo Powder, now all we need is a fireplace. Doby
turned the doorknob, thankfully, without any trouble, they went into the house
once more and quietly crept to the fireplace.
Doby stepped in first and said, "The Weasley's house" as clearly as
he could, leaving some Floo Powder for Harry to do the same.
"What are you doing?" Uncle Vernon growled.
Harry gulped, and went inside the fireplace as fast as he possibly could.
"You--come out of there at once!" Uncle Vernon shouted.
"The Weasley's house!" Harry replied back, throwing some Floo
Poweder on himself. The last thing he saw was an angry Uncle Vernon rushing towards
him.
