Author's Note: Okay, after leaving the Dursleys', Harry is left on his own.
If you have JK Rowling's book Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban on
hand, READ CHAPTER 3. That is the chapter that is inserted here, since it's
not quite Alternate Universe yet. BUT if you haven't got the book handy,
here's a summary, ok? Again, this is looking a lot like [the revered] JK's
books so far, I KNOW. However, it will soon take a drastic turn... I
promise! Bear with me here... ::sweatdrops::
Here is a summary of Chapter 3 of PoA, serving as my Chapter 5 (without permission from the lovely JK Rowling. This is her work. I'm broke, don't bother suing me.)
The Knight Bus
Harry panics after he leaves Privet Drive. He is stranded on the street corner when he decides to try to fly to London. Surely he's in enough trouble already it can't hurt? As he's looking for his Invisibility Cloak, though, he feels that something is watching him. Looking into a dark alley, he sees "the hulking outline of something very big, with wide, gleaming eyes." He stumbles backwards, flinging his arm out to catch himself and BANG! He rolls ouf of the way just in time to avoid being run over by a huge, purple bus. It's called the Knight Bus, and, he finds out, flinging out his wand-arm is the signal to hail it. The conductor tells him it will take him anywhere. Harry hurriedly gets himself onboard, giving his name as Neville Longbottom (the first name that comes to mind).
He hears the latest news from the driver and conductor - the escaped convict, Sirius Black, is actually a wizard who escaped from Azkaban, the high-security wizard prison. Harry is told that Black was shut up for murdering thirteen people with one curse... in broad daylight, about twelve years ago.
Eventually, Harry is put off in front of the Leaky Cauldron, where he is, to his dismay, met by none other than Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic. Fudge treats him to tea and crumpets and is very concerned about him. He makes sure Harry is unharmed, then assures him that the situation at Privet Drive has been resolved. Harry is shocked to find that he is in no trouble, and that he will be allowed to stay in the Leaky Cauldron until the beginning of the school year. Fudge acts very nervous when Sirius Black's name is mentioned, and he forbids Harry to leave Diagon Alley. At the end of chapter three, Harry settles into his room at the Leaky Cauldron - Hedwig was waiting for him when he got there, she's very intelligent - and falls asleep, yawning that "It's been a very weird night, Hedwig."
Again, I do not own ANY part of this chapter, it is purely a summary of JK Rowling's writing. If you haven't gotten that through your head and still want to sue me, it'd be simpler to e-mail me and request that I take it down, right? Anyway, that's where my Chapter 6 will begin. Thanks!
