On number four, Privet Drive, no one expected two children tugging trunks with two empty cages on the street. The lambs were losing the power and it was getting darker and darker. A woman's scream was growing little and little. If you looked up to the sky, there was a human shaped balloon floating on the sky, even though it's seven at night.

"Where are we going, Harry?" said the teenage girl following behind her brother, who looked angry and wary in the same time.

"I DON'T KNOW!" The boy called Harry snapped.

"Harry." The girl pleased. "Stop! We can't leave that far. The spell…"

"I don't give a shit about what Dumbledore set between me and Aunt Petunia." Suddenly, the boy turned around, making the girl stumble. The similar eyes locked on the other ones. "Aren't you mad? They talked about our parents like they were a piece of shit."

"We have no choice, Harry." Rosalind wailed. "Where else can we go? It's impossible for us to find a place to stay."

"We go to the Leaky cauldron." Harry said firmly. "We can go to some places welcoming our stay."

After a while, the girl sighed and took the boy's hand in hers. "Harry, I know how frustrated you are, but we need to find another plan. It's not safe to wander around in this time."

"Who are you? What did you do to my adventurous sister?" Harry rolled his eyes.

She bit her lips, looking at him in agony. "I am deeply worried, Harry. You met Voldemort twice in two years. You are my brother. I can't lose you to someone who killed our parents."

The boy wasn't expecting. He swallowed hard. "I don't know. The troubles love to find me so desperately."

"Then what can we do now?" Rosalind put the hand on her front head and looked around. Immediately, she noticed something strange. She approached the rose bushes by the road and laughed excitedly.

"Harry, there is a dog!" She gestured him to come forward. Harry rolled his eyes again and did as he was told. When he saw the dog his eyes widened. It was the biggest dog he had ever seen, although it was skinny and dirty.

"Need tetanus shot?" he shrugged.

Rosalind cupped the dog's head and looked into its grey eyes. "I am going to take him with us."

"What?" Harry frowned. "We have already had two pets. McGonagall wouldn't approve and I am not going to get expelled for a dog. There has been a possibility now." He was silenced by her glares, the most dangerous in the world.

"Fine." He gave up. The girl chuckled when the dog licked her cheeks.

Harry pulled out his wand, his eyes sharp. He sensed something fishy in the air.

Suddenly, the dog barked. He was shocked and accidently shot some light in the road's direction. He scowled at his sister, who was laughing so hard that could barely stand.

"Mean little brat."

"Oh, it's just funny."

The next moment, they both heard a vehicle coming to their way. It must have a huge engine because it was so loud. Rosalind led the dog and tugged her brother's sleeve.

A bus stopped in front of them. A man with a lot of pimples jumped out and grinned.

"Hello, welcome to the Knight Bus. Stan Shunpike at your service."

After a few days staying at Leaky Cauldron, Rosalind couldn't help but fall in love with the complete Magical lifestyle. The mugs flying on the sky to the customers and the chairs ordering themselves at night, and the moving photos on the wall, all were so amazing. She and Harry had finished all the homework and got a little bored by just sitting in the bedroom. She met couples of friends but none of them could stay long.

"Maybe you can find the pretty boy who helped you to Dumbledore's office." Harry suggested.

"His name is Cedric." She flushed.

"Whatever." He said lazily, lying on his bed. "I love living here but it's kind of boring. I couldn't believe I actually finish Snape's papers."

"First of all, it was impossible without my help." Rosalind sneered. "You can go to that Quidditch shop to see the new broom you like."

"If you couldn't buy, what's the point?" He whined. "We need to save every penny Mum and Dad left behind or we would be broke before seventh year, and I couldn't dream that Uncle Vernon would pity us."

The dog resting on Rosalind's bed and its head on her thighs barked. They had washed him three times to see the true fur color. The girl kissed the dog's ear and said, "Oh, Snuffle. Do you want to pay for us?"

"Rose, seriously? Love the dog than your own brother? I am forbidden from your bed. Even a toe isn't allowed and that bloody dog got to snuggle you in the sheet?" he winced.

"I didn't do such a thing." Rosalind snapped. "Mostly he stays by the bed I made him. Besides, you didn't even try to know him."

"I do." Harry laughed quietly. "He follows me all the time as if he were my bodyguard or something."

"Only know us for a few days and has already tried to save my brother's neck." She petted the dog.

The dog seemed to enjoy the moment.

"That's it. We go out, find some ice cream and sit on table. You can read your awesome books. I need to see if there were anything I could do in McGonagall's papers."

They went out with the large dog following behind. Some girls screamed while passing by. Rosalind was a little proud of the dog chasing away those people who tried to talk with her brother about the scars.

When they sat down and pulled out quills and books, the dog sat on the feet and watched around, as if Sirius Black would jump up in the next minute. They heard about the serial killer and were specifically ordered by Fudge for not leaving Diagon Alley. Rosalind noticed that when the Minister of Magic talked about Black, the fur around Snuffle's neck stood up immediately.

Maybe the dog was magical. He could understand that Harry might be in danger. She thought happily.

"Hi!" a familiar voice came behind her back. She turned and saw an extremely handsome face was looking at her with two reddened cheeks. Cedric Diggory was standing with two piles of books in his hands.

"Hi, Ced." she grinned. "Put down your books. They look heavy." She gestured him to the empty table. The boy seemed relieved when the books were elsewhere. He pulled a chair and sat by them.

"Hi, I am Cedric Diggory, Hufflepuff." He took out his hand and shook Harry's.

"I heard about you." Harry narrowed his eyes into splits. "Thank you for helping my sister. Harry Potter."

"Nothing." He shrugged and noticed the large dog standing on his feet beneath the table. "It's a beautiful dog. What's his name?"

"Snuffle." Rosalind said proudly and held the dog in her arms. "I found him wandering on the street. He is going to Hogwarts with us."

"Oh." Cedric reached out and petted Snuffle carefully. "I am looking forward to seeing you in the school, Snuffle." The dog kept staring at him with grey eyes. Rosalind laughed and robbed his fur around the neck.

"It's wonderful to see both of you." He rose and grabbed the books. "I need to meet my mother in Flourish and Blotts. See you later at school." He smiled to Harry politely and to Rosalind gently and left to approach an elder, eloquent woman standing by the bookshop.

As the boy was nowhere to be seen Harry sneered, "No backbone at all."

"Harry!" Rosalind widened her eyes in disbelief.

"Come on, Rose. Even you need to admit that he should be tougher."

"First of all, that's rude." She sighed. "Secondly, I don't think he needs anyway. In case you didn't notice, he is twice your size. According to Angelina, the Angelina in your team, he is the seeker of the team."

"What?" Harry frowned indignantly. "I don't recall him."

"That's simple. You don't pay attention to players, except for Malfoy, which I am seriously wondered if you had a crush on him." she teased.

"Eww." He grimaced.

She laughed out loud until she saw a flaming red hair in the crowds.

"RON!" She screamed excitedly. The head turned back, spotted her and grinned largely. Harry stood up and narrowed his eyes to see his best friend. They waved to each other.

"Scabbers said hi!" Ron raised the rat in his hands.
