Thoughts "Speech" 'Animal talk'
Chapter 2
Harry slipped out from Dumbledore's control when Mundungus left for business. He still couldn't believe that after last year Dumbledore put him on as his guard. The first order of business for him was to get to Gringots and that meant London. Even thought the night bus would be quicker for him he was afraid that the old coot would be able to track him that way, which meant Muggle transportation without Muggle money. Using his invisibility cloak he snuck onto a bus heading to London.
On the bus ride to London Harry started to think and analyze his years at Hogwarts to try and find the full extent of the lies and deception, especially his friendship with Ron and the other Weasley.
Flashback
At the moment a group of people passed just behind him and he caught a few words of what they were saying.
"---packed with Muggles, of course---"
Harry swung round. The speaker was a plump woman who was talking to four boys, all with flaming red hair. Each of them was pushing a trunk like Harry's in front of him ----and they had an owl.
Heart hammering. Harry pushed his cart after them. They stopped and so did he, just near enough to hear what they were saying.
"Now, what's the platform number?" said the boys' mother.
"Nine and three-quarters!" piped a small girl, also red-headed, who was holding her hand. "Mom, can't I go…"
Some time later…
"Asked him. Saw his scar. It's really there---like lightning."
"Poor dear—no wonder he was alone, I wondered. He was ever so polite when he asked how to get onto the platform.", said Mrs. Weasley.
End Flashback
Why did Mrs. Weasley say the name of the platform when I met them? Or say Muggles as if she was dropping me a hint? She had no reason to, I mean she went there for 7 years and here children have been going there for years. Also why wasn't she surprised I was alone? Muggle-borns had there family with them. Does this mean Dumbledore Knew of my abuse? Was he trying to create another Dark Lord? The only way it makes sense if it was a setup. All my years of friendship with them were lies. I wonder if any of them were ever my friends. Also what they are getting out of it?
His thoughts were interrupted by his arrival at London where he ran into a problem. He didn't know where the Leaky Cauldron was. The only time he entered the Muggle way he was with Hagrid. Shit. Okay now think. You got away from Dumbledork; you can get to Diagon Alley. Now remember where you went. The underground. Now what stop? Yes I remember.
Once he arrived at The Leaky Cauldron. I hope that the make-up I stole from Aunt Petunia keeps my scar covered and the baseball cap to cover my unruly mop of hair will help me avoid detection. Plus I struck gold when Dudley decided to get contacts to change his eye color. Hopefully this will hold up since it is non-magical. First test of disguise does Tom recognize me.
At the bar he saw Tom. "Hey Tom," Harry said, "I was wondering if I could have a room for a few nights."
"Just two things first what's your name and let me see your forearms", replied Tom. Hmm… Guess everyone is paranoid these days, just need a name. Something that will not spark peoples attention. How about my favorite teachers' last name and my mothers' last name as a first, yes that will work.
"The name is Evans Parker. And see no marks on the arm" Yes. My disguise worked against someone who has seen me before.
"Sorry about that but just had to check and the room is 15 sickles a night."
"No problem one can never be too careful"
"You will be in room 11; it is on the second floor here is your key. If you need anything just come on down." said Tom.
"Thanks, bye" with that Harry then walked to Gringots.
As soon as he walked into Gringots a Goblin walked up to him and said, "Mr. Potter, we have been excepting you. Will you please follow me?" They then arrived in a back office.
Tbc…
