He briefly thought about the risk he was taking but convinced himself that it was better for him to risk being killed by death eaters than certain death at the Dursleys so he grabbed his trunk dragged it to the road and waved his wand. Immediately the giant purple bus known as the knight bus appeared coming to a halt right next to harry. He smiled when the doors opened to see Stan Shunpike in his uniform.
"Hey Harry long time no see were would ya like to go?" he asked smiling
Backed.
"Diagon Alley please and do you have any food I'm really hungry" he responded back eagerly.
"Of course since its dinner time we give out these all you do is hold It and think of what type of food you want although be careful what you choose the knight bus goes fast, it'll cost you 7 sickles for the ticket plus 11 for the trip to diagon alley"
Harry dug into his pockets and gave him the appropriate amount of money then accepted his ticket for the food. Then he walked around looking for a seat thankfully Harry didn't see anyone that looked to be a threat and found a seat on the second floor of the bus (since it was still daylight there was seats). He put his trunk in the luggage compartment and concentrated on a large pepperoni pizza and a pumpkin juice while holding his ticket and it automatically appeared on a plate in front of him he ate it quickly having not eaten anything decent in a long time. About 15 minutes later the bus came to an abrupt in front of the Leaky Cauldron. He got off the bus and decided that he'd stay at the Leaky Cauldron until he could get in touch with the Weasleys or the Order of the Phoenix. He walked into the small pub and headed towards the innkeeper Tom.
"Hello Harry nice seeing you again would you like a room if so how long will you be staying here?" he asked politely.
"Yes please one room and I don't know how long probably a few days maybe longer."
"Ok you can pay me for 3 nights and if you need more time you can add that later so it'll be 1 galleon and 3 Knuts" Harry dug into his pockets again and gave tom the money then followed him to room six.
"Here it is Harry enjoy your stay breakfast starts serving at approximately
8 o'clock and is free." He then left handing the key to Harry. Harry, thankful to be alone again locked the door then changed into his pajamas to go to sleep. The next morning he woke up refreshed and happy at 8:30 and headed downstairs for breakfast the pub looked the same as always except at all the tables was a menu he sat at the closest table near the stairs which was by what looked like to be an old wizard reading the daily prophet. He picked up the menu waiting for someone ask him what he wanted then remembered that he was in the magical world. So he got up and walked to the table next to him where the old wizard was and asked him politely "excuse me sir but how do you order your food here?" he slowly lowered his paper and when he saw his face he gasped loudly and stuttered "N-never mind I-I'll figure it out." Instead of going back to his table he walked as fast as he could out of the leaky cauldron intent on going to the owlery so he could send a letter. But first he had to get something to eat so he decided to go eat some ice cream at Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor. He sat down under one of the brightly colored umbrellas and ordered a big banana split. He ate it slowly enjoying the taste and relaxing in the sun. Although he was still worried about seeing Macnair after all Harry knew that he was a death eater. But he was determined to have a good day so he finished his ice cream and started walking towards the owlery. He decided to take a shortcut through an alley not thinking twice about it he was almost out of there when he heard a familiar drawling voice say "Well what do we have here the famous Harry Potter". Harry slowly turned around knowing who it was and his suspicions were confirmed "Hello Mr. Malfoy" he said as bravely as possible because he knew that it wasn't a good thing to be trapped in a dark alley alone with a death eater.
"Potter I'd think you of all people should know better than to go down a dark alley alone what with the dark lord and all of his followers looking for you"
"Why don't you just kill me and get it over with"
"Because know is not the time I must wait for the right time when my master sees fit but beware potter if I were you I would stay around Diagon alley much longer if you know what's good for you."
He gave harry the Malfoy smirk then surprisingly left but Harry took his warning and practically ran to the owlery and sent Ms. Weasley.
Dear Ms. Weasley
I'm in Diagon alley not at the Dursleys it's a long story
I'll explain it later but right now I need to get out of
Here as soon as possible due to threats.
Contact me back as soon as possible.
He gave the letter to one of the owls then made his way back to the leaky cauldron planning on spending the rest of his time there till the Weasleys got in contact with him. But obviously this wasn't one of his good days because on his way to the leaky cauldron he heard a giant explosion and turned to see a flash of green light and the dark mark shoot into the sky. He looked around and saw tons of shoppers running around screaming but what stuck out the most was about two dozen people in big black cloaks with hoods who harry automatically recognized as death eaters. He knew he was in even bigger trouble than before because he had been warned but was still there. He decided that the best thing he could do was hide and maybe they wouldn't find him so he looked around looked for anywhere to hide then it hit him Gringotts Dumbledore himself said the safest thing next to Hogwarts was Gringotts. So he slowly maybe his way over to Gringotts and he had almost gotten there when he heard an extremely loud pop noise and turned around to see that about 30 aurors had apparated to the seen. Harry was so intrigued by watching the fight he didn't noticed when someone came over to him. The person in question was large he put his hand on Harry's mouth to keep him quiet then pulled him into the nearest alley. Then he turned harry around and he gasped when harry saw Severus Snape his potions teacher. "What the hell are you doing here Potter," he snarled. "I-I" Harry was so surprised to see his professor dressed like a death eater he couldn't speak. "Just forget about it Potter follow me I'll get you somewhere safe" So Harry nodded meekly and followed Snape led him to an attic under Flourish and Blotts, gave him some powder and pointed to the fire place. Harry knew what to do he took the floo powder and said number 12 Grimmauld palace. He started spinning really fast then before he knew what had happened he stumbled out of the fireplace into the headquarters of the order of the phoenix. He looked around and realized he was in the basement and no one was there to greet him so he walked upstairs thinking about going to find Hermione and Ron. He discovered them playing wizards chess in the Lounge. He decided to surprise Hermione so he quietly tipped toed into the kitchen right behind Hermione he put a finger to his mouth to signal Ron to be quiet then he shouted "Hey" right in her ear making her jump about ten feet in the air. "Jesus you scared the hell out of me what are you doing here anyways." Hermione asked suspiciously. "Well it's a long story but I suppose we have plenty of time it all started when I was cooking dinner at the Dursley's……." After Harry finished Ron and Hermione looked awed finally Ron asked "What could Dobby know that could make you able to communicate with Sirius" "I don't know" he replied truthfully. They sat in silence pondering the possibilities until Harry finally asked "So where is everybody?" Hermione replied this time "They're in a meeting about what happened at Diagon Alley they don't know yet that you were there" "Oh" he replied crestfallen they would be so mad that he ran away from the Dursley's but that was a price he'd have to pay for his actions. After about an hour they could hear the members of the order exciting the meeting room. They entered the kitchen and when the saw Harry they all fell silent wondering how he'd gotten there. Finally Dumbledore asked him "Harry what are you doing here your supposed to be at the Dursley's." So Harry for the second time that day explained what had happened to him the past few days and as he expected he got a lecture on how he could've gotten hurt and how he never thought twice about his actions. But Molly felt sorry for him so she spoke up "You all should give Harry a break for gods sake he was practically starved by the Dursleys and you expect him to have just sit there and die without any second thought." she ranted. After a while she finally turned back to Harry and asked him if he was hungry and he said yes so she made dinner for every one and extras for Harry. After everyone was finished eating it was well past dark and so everyone went there separate ways to go to sleep. Harry trotted up to the room he and Ron slept in and immediately fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
Harry could feel himself sitting in a uncomfortable chair he looked around and realized he was having another vision and he was Voldemort.
"Hello Rodolphus did you complete the mission did you find out what the prophecy said?" I asked eagerly
"Yes I did after a lot of persuasion and threats toward Phineas Nigellus, a portrait in Dumbledores office who overheard the conversation."
"So what is it"
"The one with the power to vanquish the dark lord approaches. Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies. And the dark lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the dark lord knows not. And either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives. The one with the power to vanquish the dark lord will be born as the seventh month dies."
Harry Sat back in his chair thoughtfully then said "You may leave now Rodolphus I will reward you later but now I must think."
"Yes Master whatever is your will"
Harry woke in a cold sweat extremely worried, Dumbledore had told him it would be disastrous if Voldemort discovered what the prophecy said.
