The Great Escape
The last day. This was the single thought that constantly plagued Harry's mind as the day stretched on slowly. "What do I do?" His mind screamed at him. Harry was running out of time fast, and he had yet to come up with a plan. He sat down resolutely. "I have to come up with a plan to get out of here!" "If I miss the train, they'll know something's wrong." "They'll probably even send someone over, to come and get me." "I can't let that happen, I won't."
"Well, what can I do to get out of my room, if I can think of that, then half the battle's won so to speak." He thought deeply as he looked around the garden area the Dursley's had set him to build, lovingly telling him, "get it done or else." Harry felt it best to comply with these wishes after the incident with the train. Then it hit him. He could pick locks now, couldn't he? Hadn't Fred and George showed him how to the summer after his first year. Victory, he had a plan, now when to put the plan into action.
When better than while everyone was asleep. That was it, he'd sneak out while they where sleeping, take his stuff and get to the station. "O.K now how am I going to get to the station?" "I mean it's not like I can walk there." "It'd be too dangerous, not to mention the fact that he had no idea where the station was, or for that fact, how far away it was." Harry thought. He couldn't take the night bus either. He was way too easily spotted there, not to mention he would be easily identified by Stan, the conductor of the giant purple vehicle, know as the Knight Bus.
No, he would just have to think of something else, but what! Think…transportation….Knight Bus….no…..muggle bus…..that's it! He wasn't famous in the muggle world, therefore he wouldn't be recognized. It was the perfect plan! Now all he had to do was wait until tonight. Then, he would be free of the Dursleys for another year. In just a few more hours, he would be heading home.
I could leave you here, but that would be cruel and unusual punishment, and I have been pretty mean not updating in so long, so I'll continue!!!!
It was 10:00 and all through the house not a creature was stirring, not a mouse. (Hehe, I feel in the Christmas mood.) All that could be heard was the bomb like snoring issuing from a one Vernon Dursley, and his humongous son Dudley. On any other night, Harry would have cursed this noise, but tonight he was thanking the heavens above for the obnoxious sound. Yes, lady luck was on his side tonight, the snoring would more than cover the sounds of him picking his locks, and give him the ability to get out of the house quickly without alerting the family of his escape. Thinking this to himself, he then proceeded to carefully take out his pick, which he had cautiously taken from when he was working in the garden, and started to slowly pick the locks one by one. After making sure that the Dursleys were still sleeping (from the snoring of course) he gently opened his door and closed it behind him. The coast was clear, all he needed to do now was get his stuff from downstairs, and then he would be free.
Quickly walking down the stairs, taking caution not to step on the ones that squeaked, he made his way to the cupboard. After picking the lock on the door he swiftly went in and took a quick inventory of his things, to make sure that everything was there. Having finished that, he left the cupboard, and silently closed the door. Taking one last look up the stairs, he silently prayed that he would never again have to return, before soundlessly opening the front door and leaving the Number 4 Privet Drive for what he hoped would be the last time ever.
