He slowly opened the second letter, and onto the floor fell a small key, on the paper it said locker # 467. Harry picked up the key and saw the number 467 inscribed in it. He sat down on his bed and thought of where it could be, he jumped up in excitement. "Kings Cross!" Harry shouted to himself. That was the only place he could thing of that had locker 467. He grabbed his jacket, his wand, some money, the key, and ran downstairs. He yelled to his aunt and uncle, who still feared him, that he would be back later, and they grunted and went back to ignoring him. it was nearly 8 o'clock, the perfect time to catch the knight bus, and that's exactly what he did.
"'Arry Potter, great ta see ya," said Stan Shunpike slapping Harry on the back and taking his money, "Where to?"
"Kings Cross Stan," Harry replied and took a seat.
"Taker 'er away Ern!"
"In a split second that were traveling down a foreign road and less than a minute later the knight bus stopped at Kings Cross Station to let Harry off. Harry said goodbye and got off the station, he then walked inside and headed for the lockers.
"461, 462, 463, 464, 465, 566, ah ha! Locker 467," Harry said talking to himself.
He took out the key and slowly slid it into the keyhole, it fit perfectly, Harry then opened the locker door and stuck the key back into his pocket. In the lock a single video tape, a piece of paper, which he put in his pocket, and a small locked chest. He put them in hid jacket and went back outside to catch the night bus. A few minutes later he arrived back at number 4 Privet Drive.
He walked into the living room and screamed, "Everyone out! I need to use the TV!"
The Dursley's ran in all direction and Harry slid the video into the tape player and turned it on. Instantly a perfect surveillance screen came up, It was Lucius Malfoy and Peter Pettigrew in the Ministry of Magic alone in a small meeting room. The two were talking, but since the tape was silent Harry had to read their lips as best as possible. He understood most of it, Pettigrew said something like 'here's the papers for him.' Malfoy then took the papers and gave him two keys and a small piece of paper, and he told him to meet him in Diagon Alley tomorrow at five. The tape then cut to some gruesome tea shop, presumably in Knockturn Alley in Diagon Alley, but this time there was sound. Who knew anyplace in Knockturn Alley could afford surveillance camera's? Harry then turned up the volume and listened closely. On the screen was Malfoy, Pettigrew, and a man in a black cloak with a hood.
"Do you have the keys and the paper I gave you yesterday Pettigrew?" Malfoy asked.
"Y-yes, it's right here," he pulled it out quivering.
"No, you keep, here's what you have to do with it, go to the Hog's Head in Hogsmeade and give this letter to the bartender," Lucius started handing Pettigrew a piece of paper. "He will then give you a small box with a lock, take this box and the small piece of paper to Kings Cross Station and using the key that says 467, lock it in locker # 467. When you are done come to my home and give me that key."
"But what shall I do with the small key?" Pettigrew questioned nervously.
"You, Wormtail will take it to the Shrieking Shack in Hogsmeade and lock in it the safe in the master bedroom," sneered the man with the cloak.
Harry cringed when he heard this mans voice and his scar burned, but he didn't understand why. The tape ended and Harry sat there staring at the blue screen, he had to get to Hogsmeade, but how? The only way there is by train on September 1st, or Harry's favorite, a flying car. But he couldn't do that because Ron's dad's flying car was wild in the Forbidden Forest at school. He then decided he would have to fly there by broom. So Harry, taking the tape, ran up to his room and fetched his broom and his invisibility cloak. Harry the went out to the backyard and mounted his broom, then he put on his invisibility cloak and tied it together at his feet so it wouldn't fly off. Harry then zoomed into the air on his swift firebolt and headed to Hogwarts Castle.
Once there he carefully flew under the Whomping Willow and prodded the knot, he then slid through the hole and began to make his journey to the Shrieking Shack. Once there he went up the stairs to the place where he first met Sirius. The house stood still and deserted as usual, as he walked into the master bedroom he felt the house shiver in despair and went on to wonder where the safe could be. He immediately noticed for the first time a peculiar picture and went over to it. He lifted it off the wall and there lied the safe. He then realized he didn't know the combination. He put his hands in his pocket and sighed, then he felt something, it was the piece of paper from the locker in Kings Cross. Harry opened it and saw the number, 6 - 34 - 17, he tried it on the lock and it opened, he took out the key and sat on the bed with the small box he brought with him form Kings Cross. using the Key he then opened the box.
