Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. I do, however, love the movies and books! And I think Dan Radcliffe is very cute!
Summery: Harry Potter was abandoned as a child on the streets of London. Now at the age of fifteen he continues to survive on the streets. Sirius was freed after the capture of Pettigrew, and is now searching for his godson.
Chapter Five
(Next morning about 12:00 AM: Harry)
Harry awoke to a banging sound. Jumping up from his bed he peeked out the window. Someone was trying to come inside.
Going back to his bed he grabbed his book bag off the floor. He looked around to make sure he had everything really important. He grabbed a couple of the newer books he had and quickly stuffed them inside the book bag.
Another loud bang alerted him that someone was trying to pry one of the boards blocking a door. Going into the hallway as quietly as possible he went to another room, one with a fire escape. As he made his way to the room he could hear a radio, the dispatcher on the radio calling to an officer Harris. Dang! It's the police! He thought dejectedly.
Them being the cops meant he couldn't come back here for a few days. Finally reaching the room he began to cross the room as quietly as he possible could. There was lots of debris covering the floor. When he had first found this place he had wanted to get a room with a fire escape to avoid getting caught by the police. But there were only two fire escapes, and each room with the fire escape was too bad to live in.
He cursed under his breath as he heard on of the police men coming closer to his room. A few seconds the officer said 'Someone's been staying here Mark.'
"Well, lets see if they're still here." Mark replied.
Harry finally reached the window. As he began to climb out the door to the room opened. Looking up Harry could see one of the officers standing there. The officer caught sight of him and yelled to his partner that there was a kid there. The officer began to come closer to Harry. Harry started quickly descending the stairs. The officer began to follow behind him.
Harry got close enough to where he could jump. Landing on the ground on his feet he stood up and began to run. After stumbling a few steps he realized he must have sprained his ankle falling wrong. At least he hoped it was just a sprain. At least he could still move pretty quickly. He just hoped he was quick enough.
Leaving through the torn fence he moved toward some bushes hoping they would hide him well enough.
Through the bush he could see the police officer coming closer. He tried to be as quietly as possible while hoping the officer didn't decide to investigate further into the bushes. The officer took out a large black flash light and began to shine it around. The beam hit the bushes Harry was in. He's going to catch me! Harry thought, while he hoped he was wrong.
Finally the officer clicked the flash light off and turned to his partner who was coming closer.
"He's not here. He must have gotten away." The officer closest to him called.
The other officer continued to come closer. Reaching his partner he said, "Well let's keep looking. He couldn't have gotten far. Let's try over there." He said pointing to several large buildings on the other side of the street.
Once they walked away Harry breathed a sigh of relief. Wow, that was a close one! He thought. Slowly he limped to one of the side streets not far from the abandoned apartment building he lived in. He needed to get something to wrap his foot in. He also needed to find another safe place to sleep for a few nights.
He decided to go to Mr. Wilson. He knew Mr. Wilson would help him if he needed it. He just hated to put the old man out. But he also knew Mr. Wilson would be upset if he were injured or in need of help and didn't come to him. And this had both of those scenarios.
Finally figuring the coast was clear to move, he got up and began to slowly limp to the book store that was only a few blocks away.
