"I can't take this anymore!" I groan. Considering that it's only three weeks until school, it would be understandable if I left now. Quickly, I pack my truck, and grab a quill and parchment and scribbled:
Dear Ero and Joey and Alex.
I've decided to leave for school early. Don't freak out, I'll be safe. In fact, by the time you read this, I'll probably be halfway to London. Tell Ms. Peters that I received my summons to school and not to expect me until next summer. I won't forget to write you this year.
Love, Meg
After I slipped it into their room window, I hauled my trunk out the window and jumped off the ledge.

I dragged my trunk to a near by park and think of a way to get to London. I feel like I'm forgetting something. Soon, I hear another set of footsteps dragging a trunk near me.
"Stay back!" I shout,"I am armed!" My hand flies to my wand, stowed away in the cuff of my boot.
"Meg, is that you?" As the stranger gets closer, I realize, that it's the person responsible for my best friend being alive. Breathing out a sigh of relief, I exclaim, "Harry! You frightened me." He chuckled and asked, "Where did you come from?" I pointed towards the home, which I was still in plain view of. "Isn't that a home for boys?" I shrug and say,"How are we getting to London?" He shrugged right back and then he pointed to a black dog, hidden in the bushes. Suddenly, an idea hits me. I draw my wand and Harry follows suit.

"Welcome to the Knight Bus, I'm Stan Shunpike, and I'll be your conductor for this evening."
