Potter's Great Escape

It had been almost three years. Almost three long years, since Harry had been sentenced to Akaban Prision. He had no trial. Fudge was too worried about locking him up for good, no one heard his side of the story. He was sent to Azkaban for the "murder" of Lucius Malfoy. The only problem was, he didn't do it. It was all a set up by Lucius and Voldermort. Considering that Lucius is one of Voldermort's top followers.

It must have started at school in his 4th year. He just started a week before this all happened. Him and his two best friends, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley, were sitting out by the lake when the Aurors came by him, and picked him up to take him to Azkaban. Then, it was all hell from there. No one would believe him before he said a word. It was like they were determined to send him to jail no matter what they needed to do.

He was walking out of the castle after a talk with the Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, and his Head of House, Professor McGonagall. As he was heading out of the school followed by 3 Aurors. Everyone was giving him an evil glare. Even his best friend Ron, and the girl he secretly had a crush on, Hermione. Anger and hurt filled his body. As he left the building and towards Azkaban Prision.

Harry awoke from his nightmare in his prision cell. As he sat there, he listened around. There was no Dementors around, nor were there any Aurors. 'Voldermort must have called a meeting with the Dementors' He thought to himself. A smile crept to his face. It had been the first time he had smiled in two, almost three years. 'Today is the day that I shall escape and surprise everyone that did not believe me those years ago' he thought.

A few hours went by as Harry sat on the floor of his prision cell. He decided it was time to leave this place forever. He stood up, smirked, and transformed and flew through his prision cell bars. There it was, Harry had escaped Azkaban. The second person to do so. He was inspired from his Godfather, Sirius Black, to make the great escape as an Animagi. As he flew miles away from Azkaban, he flew fast had hard. He landed on a tree in his so called, best friend, Ron's house garden.

He looked in the kitchen, it must have been around July, because the whole family was at the table. He smiled in the back of his mind as he saw his old friend and his family eating a meal. At the sight, his stomach growled violently. He looked at the Weasley's table and decided he would make an appearance now or never. He decided now.

He flew through the window and perched on the back of an empty chair, going through an open window. Ron was the first to spot the bird and went to smack it away, but as he got up, he notices the bird was changing form. The whole family gasped at the spot were the bird was, to see Harry Potter sitting in a chair smirking.

Mr. Weasley jumped to his feet whipping out his wand in one quick motion, and pointed it at Harry's head. As did the rest of the family once they regained their composure. That is, everyone except Ron did. Ron smiled as Harry stood and the two exchanged a brotherly hug. Harry smirked as Ron did as well. "Bloody hell Harry, it's been a while!!" Ron said punching Harry in the arm. Harry smiled, "Yea it has. So, how have you been?" He asked ignoring the wands pointed at him. "Fine, but I suggest that you explain how, and why you escaped before my family Jinxes you to hell."

The smile on Harry's face faded as he remembered where he was. He turned to the Weasley family smiling once again. "So, I guess I have a bit of explaining to do here don't I?" The whole family nodded as Harry beckoned them to sit down again. As they all sat back down, Harry began to explain how he escaped from Azkaban. "So, you see, I never really did kill Lucius. See, Lucius made McNair take a pollyjuice potion and Lucius knocked me out in Diagon Alley shortly before school began. See, he knocked me out, took my wand, killed McNair, who looked mike Lucius, and gave me my wand back to make it look as though I did it myself. Lucius is alive and well. So, you see, I really did nothing of the sort. I WAS COMPLETELY INNOCENT AND I WAS STUCK IN AZKABAN FOR THREE YEARS!!!" he yelled as he threw a fork at a wall. After a while he calmed down and told the rest of the story

After he was finished, the Weasley's were convinced that the boy that they knew for seven years, was actually innocent after all. Harry gave Mrs. Weasley a hug and then went to take a shower. When he came out, Mrs. Weasley gave him a fresh set of clothes, and, surprisingly enough, Mr. Weasley, who was now the Minister of Magic, gave him back his wand. Then, after a few hours of catching up on old times with Ron, dinner was served. Harry ate like a fool that night. He was not fed very well in Azkaban, but he was still built, do to him working out everyday in Azkaban.

Later that night, when he and Ron were up in there rooms, Harry heard a knock at the door. "Come in" said Harry, since Ron had already fallen asleep. At that point, the door had been opened to reveal the smiling face of Albus Dumbledore. Harry got out of bed as Dumbledore walked to him. The two shook hands and Albus conjured up a chair and sat down, as Harry sat back on his bed. Dumbledore had that twinkle in his eye that always caught Harry's attention for some reason or another. "Professor, what brings you here tonight?" He asked acting innocent. The Headmaster let out a slight chuckle as Harry smirked. "Ahh Harry. How good it is to see you again. I dare say Miss Granger will be thrilled at the fact you escaped. I believe, deep down, she did not believe you were guilty, there were, how do muggles put it, 'going with the flow. "

Harry nodded thinking about Hermione. It had been a long time since he had seen her. "Excuse me Professor, when is she going to be here? I heard from Ron earlier that she would be coming. And the funny thing is sir, I am not even sure what day it is today." "Harry, first of all, yes, Miss Granger shall be here tomorrow. Second, it is July fiftenth" Dumbledore stood up as did Harry. "Harry, I know you miss Sirius, we all do. Don't worry, everything will be fine." Harry nodded and Dumbledore was gone.

Ok, that's Chapter 1. Hope you all like it. I know it was fun to write. This one was kind of short, I know, but I intend to make the rest longer. Definitely. As long as I get reviews. So PLZ review.
