This Time Imperfect
Chapter 5 – Notes and Sorrow
- - -
At around three in the morning Harry decided that he really didn't want to face Sirius the next day. He needed time to think, or better yet be alone. He didn't want to leave the way he was, but there was no other way. Sirius would never let him leave on his own.
Harry quickly packed up his belongings, but only what he was going to need for school. After that, he scribbled a note to Sirius.
Sirius,
I need some time to think and breath, I'll get to Hogwarts from where I am. Don't worry. Next time I write it will be from Hogwarts.
Harry
Harry grabbed some money and he was off. He really hadn't decided where he was going to go. Hogwarts was out of the question, and he really didn't feel like dealing with the Weasley's. That left the Leaky Cauldron; after all it wasn't his first time staying there.
He summoned the knight bus and was on his way to Diagon Alley. It was late and The Leaky Cauldron was filled with an odd sort of people. Harry quickly sought out Tom and asked for a room.
By five in the morning Harry was completely settled in his temporary living quarters.
Meanwhile, back in the Black Country estate, one very drowsy Sirius Black rose to go and check on one Harry Potter who seemed to be missing.
Frantically Sirius searched the house for the young man, but he was nowhere to be found. At one point Sirius needed the loo, because nature had called. That's when he noticed an envelope sitting on the toilet. The envelope read:
I thought maybe you might come first in the morning.
"Harry!"

A/N: I'm sorry about this chapter too guys....it's just I'm not in a very good mood, although all those reviews sure did the job for a while. Anyways, Harry doesn't know Sirius is going to be a Professor....but will Harry find solace in another?
