This Chapter: Harry devises a plan to escape.
Now.........on with the story!
Harry woke up with a start. How long had he been asleep? Not long, he guessed, judging by the fact that sunlight was streaming through the window.
"Ah, I see you're awake, Harry." It was Dumbledore, but he didn't look angry. In fact, he looked remotely pleased. "I'm very glad that you can walk Harry, but you cannot be getting up right now. Your back needs time to heal. I ask you to forgive me for what I'm about to do." he said, waving his wand at Harry.
He didn't notice anything different, except when he tried to sit up to ask Dumbledore what he had done, he found he couldn't move.
"I'm very sorry Harry, but this is the only way to keep you there. You will be allowed up for you lessons, eating, the bathroom, and that is all. Do not try and figure out a way to break the charm. You would waste your time, as no one knows the counter-charm but me." said Dumbledore. His eyes twinkled merrily as he left the room.
About ten minutes later, Ron and Hermione burst in. Harry felt slightly embarrassed as they watched him struggling against the invisible bonds.
"Hey Harry," they said in unison.
He stopped struggling and said, "Hey."
"What happened?" asked Hermione.
"Dumbledore," said Harry. "Sirius and Lupin caught me downstairs and told Dumbledore and he did something and now I can't get up at all."
"Well, you shouldn't have been up in the first place, Harry." said Hermione.
"But I need to…." Harry started to say, but was interrupted by Hermione.
"You don't need to do anything except stay in bed. Dumbledore will let you come to Hogwarts when you're ready, just like he will let you loose when you're ready to walk."
"Fine." muttered Harry sullenly.
"Look Harry, we got your stuff and refilled your money bag." said Ron.
"Thanks." said Harry.
"Well, we'd better go get packed. We'll see you later, Harry." said Hermione.
Harry lay on his bed staring at the ceiling after they left. He thought about what he was going to do. The only time that he could possibly escape was while being tutored, which would make it even more difficult.
His classes would start the day after tomorrow. The first lesson was with McGonagall. He supposed she would be apparating to Grimmauld Place.
He summoned his Invisibility Cloak from his trunk and Transfigured it into a watch, which he placed on his wrist. There was nothing suspicious about a watch. He would have to go to the bathroom and Untransfigure the cloak, the somehow sneak out of Grimmauld Place.
Hopefully Moody wouldn't have been assigned to guard him. Then, he would find the Death Eaters, or more likely, they would find him.
Then, he would make them pay.
