It was now or never. I held my breath, my heart pounding. I quietly tip toed down the stairs, grabbed my broom and silently let Hedwig out of his cage. With my mokeskin pouch filled with all my necessities, I felt prepared. I was brave. And after I stepped out of the door, I was free. I knew how to get to Ron's but it would be a long journey. But I was determined. Fresh, I spent the first 5 hours travelling on foot - reaching 15 km. I had to stop before I collapsed from exhaustion. I tried to blend in with the crowd but, 3 cloaked strangers were still able to track me down. They appeared from nowhere. I could sense that I was their target. They followed me but not looking where I was going I had walked into a dark alley. I had made a big mistake. Now I was trapped, with nowhere to hide. The only escape I could think of before they reached me was my broom.
"Accio Nimbus 200!" and with that i jumped on and took off like an arrow from a bow and left them in the dust. Flying was quick but I had to slow down and stay in the clouds to not be discovered. The 3hr rest period I took helped to regain myself. 4 hours I flew. But still the image of those cloaked figures were nagging at the back of my mind. I kept telling myself, they're long gone over 60 km away. But thats when it hit me. In the crowd, when I tried to shake them from my tail 1 of their cloaks were caught by a gust of wind to reveal, a tattoo. The Death Eaters tattoo. Lord Voldemort's followers tattoo. But I was so close. Just a few more kilometres to Ron's and I would be safe. I hope. And with that I had just jinxed myself. Out of the blue, 4 cloaked strangers surrounded me. I was so close. And that was all I could think before everything went black.
Half conscious all I felt was the whipping of the wind. I knew the 2hr rest period I took before reaching Ron's was a risk. Turns out it was a bad one. Hours passed and when I finally regained consciousness, which is hard to do with the blast of the wind and flying through the air, I looked around horrified. Why? Why would they bring me back? Back to where I started?
