Leo+ Magic= Hogwarts

Escape

Leo stuffed the parchment back in the letter and stuffed it in his stolen bag. He opened the first zip, where the important things such as money, food and water are kept. He carefully put it in as fast as he could and zipped it back up. 

He felt something cool brush against his bare calf (the body part), kind of like water, but... lighter? 

Leo glanced down, seeing flames. Dang it, he was getting worked up

He shook his leg, extinguishing the flames and started running across the floor, nimbly dodging and jumping across puddles. Leo hadn't realized it till then, but sirens where ringing through the sewer and men were shouting. 

Leo looked back, clutching the strap of his backpack. Police officers were slipping and sliding down the stairs and Leo would have laughed if he wasn't terrified if they were going to take him to another foster home. 

Leo turned back and ran, continuing to dodge and jump over puddles. Leo was nimble and fast,  but the police officers were big, and fast, slowly catching up to him. Leo heard the police officers conversing with each other while running after him. 

A man came at him suddenly from the side and Leo stepped back. The officer, expecting to catch him and surprised about something, stumbled forwards. Leo zipped past him but catching what he yelled

'Aww, He stinks!' The officer scrunched up his nose and gagged.

Leo looked back and shouted cheerfully, 'That's what living in a sewer does to you, dumbo!'

He continued to run, but slowly but surely, the officers were catching up. One nicked his skin through his torn shirt, which wouldn't be too bad, if it wasn't reopening another wound. Leo was still running, adrenaline pumping through his veins and heart going way to fast for his good. The scratch hurt and he felt the blood dripping down his back.

Leo looked at the gooey water, and something clicked. This was going to be painful for the wounds that weren't closed, but it would be better than going to another abusive foster home. He counted down from 3

3... 2.... 1!

Leo jumped into the disgusting water, shocking the officers and splashing dirty water on them. Leo didn't have to swim, the current was taking him through different sewer systems. Leo could finally relax 

*SPLASH*

Oh no. The officers had gotten in. Only then did Leo start swimming. Right, Right, Left, Right, Right, Right, Left. Leo zigzagged through the sewers trying his absolute best to lose the officers. After what felt like hours (it was actually probably an hour), The voices of the officers stopped. 

Leo floated on the murky current, exhausted. He was breathing heavily and sweating buckets, though you can't see it because he's covered in water. The adrenaline rush is over and Leo can feel the barely bearable pain filling his wounds. They're definately going to get infected.

The pain and exhaustion is too much for a 10 year old to handle. Black spots are floating over Leo's eyes and he feels as though it's impossible to keep his eyelids open. Leo swims to the side, and heaves himself up on to the ground. He can't. 

Leo falls back into the water, unconscious.
