Chapter 1: Found Sam but Lost Privet Drive

The boy who had survived... Harry Potter was now 16 this very day. His Uncle and his Aunt Petunia, and their son Dudley, of course didn't know this but his wizard friends Hermione and Ron. Also a muggle friend he made over the summer knew this. His name was Sam; Harry met him when he was taking the Dudley's garbage outside.

FLASH BACK

A stranger who was about his age was walking by when Harry went out to take out the trash out.

The stranger looking at Harry in a strange way asked, "What are you doing?"

then in a reply Harry said still closing the garbage can, "I'm taking out the garbage"(A/N very stupid right? but read on)

It was such an obvious thing though. He thought everyone in his age might be doing this, or maybe he was the only.

"YOU need to take the garbage out?" asked the stranger.

"Yes, I NEED to" answered Harry, "don't you? Because this is an obvious thing you know I mean even I a wizard know how to take the trash out."

"What? What did you say you are? A wizard?"

In panic Harry said, "I'm a wizard. You see my cousin and I are playing, umm.., Magician."

"Okay, good because I thought you said that for real. You seemed so confident... Hey, so... Do you have time to hang out sometime?" asked the stranger.

Harry was very confused, this strange guy, who didn't even know what he was doing, just asked him to hang out with him? Well, he was very bored any way and the Dudley's didn't even care if he came home late.

Actually they probably would like Harry to never come back, like last time when he came late, the Dudley's had locked the doors and windows and of course they didn't even wanted to open the door for him. But later a police passing by saw Harry sitting outside the house almost asleep, so the police came over and almost crushed the door until the door opened so Harry can go inside. But unfortunately the next day the Dudley's were asking tons of questions about the door.

However that was then and from that day on the police passed over their house to check on Harry. So he didn't have a problem hanging out with him, but it was just so strange. But since he was so bored and was finished with all of his homeworks and all of his so chores he decided to go along with him.

But strangely he went to a park instead of his house. Very confused Harry sat next to him on the swing and started to talk with him.

He found out that he was an orphan since he was a baby so he was living in the orphanage all his life. Harry felt exactly knew how he felt since he was an orphan himself. Then he told Harry about how he had ran away from the orphanage and got to him. Now he knew why he didn't know things; because probably in the orphanage he didn't need to do much of any chores.

However Harry now knowing the stranger's name, Sam, liked this guy, he was so like him.

Later, about thirty minutes, Sam started telling him, "...then I went to visit the train station, but then all the people started looking at the sky. So I looked at the sky too. And you wouldn't guess what I've seen! I saw a blue car flying over. I'm not sure but I think I was two boys riding in it. I mean it was 5 years ago but..."

then Harry knew, the car he had seen were Ron and him flying to Hogwarts, "...and that's when I started believing in magic. And I am going to find some kind of a symbol which might prove that there is magic in this world!"

Harry's heart felt very strange, he knew he got to tell him he knew it he got to tell him that magic is real! Maybe he can live with him. Maybe Harry can run away from the Dudley's like Sam running away from his orphanage.

"Hey, Sam, I have a BIG secret. I mean that it's really BIG I mean it's BIG. Can you promise you won't tell anyone? If you do tell all about it to someone else I might go to Azkab..., uhh... I mean, jail. Okay?" asked Harry very serious.

"Uhhh... okay. I see you're serious. Ummm... Okay. You know, I am a good secret keeper. Especially BIG secrets. I'm really good with BIG secrets. So what is it?" asked Sam with innocent eyes sparkling on Harry.

Harry thought about a moment then he decided to tell him. He knew he could only tell one Muggle about his secrets in his whole life. But then if the Muggle told another Muggle Harry and the two Muggles will be turned into stones.

Well, he can tell about that to Sam after he told him the BIG secret. So he told him. He knew that Sam thought he was joking but later on when Harry had explained all about Voldemort and him, the flying blue car, Hogwarts and all the other things in the magic world Harry knew that Sam had understood. Then of course Harry told Sam about the rules about the magic world including ...

57. In your life you must only tell one Muggle you secret identity. But be warned. If the Muggle tells another Muggle all the lives in the case will be turned into stone.

End of FLASH BACK

From them he has been living with Mrs. Figg who also was a witch who Harry had met last summer. And today Harry was planned to go to Mrs. Figgs's house for a celebration.

Harry was so glad that he was able to celebrate his birthday for the first time. But the one problem was that he needed to sneak out of the house to get there since he was grounded.

He was grounded because he did the dishes too good that the layer of shine of the dish was washed away. He knew that it was a stupid reason but if he argued, he would get in more trouble.

So, however, the plan was when Mrs. Figg came over at exactly 4:00p.m. for distraction calling all the Dudley's outside saying that there was a flower bed dying out on their front yard. Then when Harry heard Mrs. Figg's voice, he would come down and sneak through the back door.

So all he was doing in his room was looking at his clock. At 3:59 he started counting... "59, 58, 57, 56, 55.... 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and...1!"

and he heard, "see look at those flowers come here Dusley smell that doesn't it smell awful? And Mr. and Mrs. Dudley! How can you let these poor flowers..." that was the signal now all he need to do was go out the back door and through the loose fense to Mrs. Figgs.

Now he was in the middle of the Privet Drive. Well he should be at least but it didn't look like Private Drive. Then he realized he went through the wrong fence. He can go back but he would be dead with the Dudley's. Now what does Harry had to do? He didn't know. The only way was to explore.
