Lucy Potter and the love that shouldn't be

Knight Buss?

We both ran down the stairs with our suitcases in hand, Vernon stopped us at the bottom
-Get her down at once!- he shouted in my face, Harry growled -No, she got what she deserved!- he snarled.
Vernon was furious, he grabbed my shirt and pushed me up aginst the wall, Harry pointed his wand at Vernon. He got the message and stepped away, Harry put his arm around me -Stay away from us!- Vernon glared at us -You can't use magic outside the school.- he said nervously. Harry scoffed -Yeah? Watch me.- he pushed me towards the door, i was about to open it when Vernon replied -You can't escape now. You have no place to go.....- Harry glared at them -I don't care. Everything is better than here.- he hissed.

We made our way out onto the street, it was dark and gloomy. Neither of us said a word as we walked towards the park, it was just this tense atmosphere around us. Harry and i sat down on the sidewalk, staring at the bushes. I had zoned out completly when suddenly the streetlamp started to flicker. I glared at it -What the?- suddenly the swings and the merry go round started to move. Everything creaking and moving, when did i suddenly enter a Horror movie?

Harry pushed me lightly in the side with his elbow, i looked at him questingly. He nodded towards the hedge across the street, i turned my gaze in the same direction. A big black dog was staring at us, it had yellowish eyes and raven black fur. Harry and i stood up and grabbed our wands, the dog snarled at us. It barked and it was as if some kind of a froce pushed me, i fell onto the pavement. I sat up on my elbows and looked at Harry, he must've fallen too. Not long after, i heard a honk of a horn, then i saw a big purple tripple decker. -This isn't the normal buss.- i whispered in shock. Harry shook his head and stared at the buss. It stopped infront of us, onboard was a slim ticketman. He cleared his voice -Welcome to the Knight Buss, my name is.......- he spoke so monotone that i actually zoned out. It felt like i was in D.A.D.A class with Lockheart, all over again.

The man looked down at us -What are you two doing down there?- we stood up -We fell?- Harry said with a confused look. The man raised an eyebrow -Why did you fall?- i rolled my eyes -We didn't do it on purpose!- the man sighted -Well then c'mon, we can't wait for the grass to grow.- i rolled my eyes and looked behind the buss, the dog was nowhere to be seen. The man went to stand beside me -What are you looking at?- i glared at him -Nothing.- he nodded -Well then let's go!- i was about to grab my suitcase when the man slapped my hand away

-No! No! I take this, you go in.-

I shrugged and walked in after Harry. There were three beds standing side by side in the buss, there was even a big chandelier hanging from the roof.
-Go further into the bus.- the annoying ticketman barked. I rolled my eyes and sat down on the bed at the front of the bus, i looked at the bussdriver. He had white hair and big glasses, he had this ugly dried head hanging by his window. I was snapped back to reality when the ticket man knocked on the window -Ready to go.- suddenly the head started speaking -Yes! Let's go!- i almost fell of the bed due to the speed we were going. Harry fell right beside me, the ticketman looked at us -What were your names again?- he asked curiously. Harry shook his head -We didn't say it.- the man nodded -Where were you going then?- Harry sat up -To The Leaky Cauldron, it's in London.- the man chuckled -Did you hear that driver? The Leaky Cauldron is in London.- the head started laughing -The Leaky Cauldron? If they serve you peasoup, then you better eat it before it eats you.- it's laugh was so creepy, it litteraly sendt chills down my spine.

Suddenly we stopped, i grabbed onto the bed to not go flying trough the air. Well, Harry went flying into the window. He practicualy looked like a fish, i was laughing my ass off. Harry glared at me -What are you laughing at?- he asked irritated. He doesn't like me laughing at him, he wants to keep his "Brave Big Brother" image.  I shook my head -Y..y..y..you were HILLARIOUS!- i burst out lauging again. Harry rolled his eyes -Yeah, yeah, very funny.- i calmed down and patted Harry's shoulder -Sorry, but it looked funny.- he smiled -And you think you would've looked any better?- i smiled -C'mon, it's ME!- i said jokingly. He slapped my arm playfully and turned his gaze forward, i turned my head in the same direction. I smiled -Two busses comming our way.- i said calmy and looked away.

Wait a minute...

I froze and looked back -We're gonna crash!- Harry and i shouted simultanliously, he held tightly around me. Suddenly the bus squeezed us between the busses, i was afraid my head was going to explode, or my eyes pop out. Eww that's gross, stop thinking like that.
Once we were back to normal i rubbed my head -Damn, that hurt.- i whispered to myself. I looked at Harry and saw him staring at the newspaper the ticketman held, it was a picture if a man holding a name and numbertag. Propably a prisioner or something. Harry raised an eyebrow -Who is that? That man?- he asked. The ticketman looked at the paper then at us -You don't kno.....?! It's Sirius Black, don't tell me you've never heard of Sirius Black?- both Harry and i shook our heads -He's a murderer, he even got sendt to Azkaban.- Harry furrowed his eyebrows -But how could he escape?- the ticketman sighted -That's the point! He's the first one that has managed to escape!- his face then turned serious -He was a follower of You-Know-Who, he you must've heard of.- i looked away -Yeah, him we've heard of.-

Harry put his hand on my shoulder comfortingly, i smiled at him and looked outside throught the window.. Suddenly we came to a halt, this time i forgot to hold on to something so i went flying into the front window. I could hear Harry laughing out loud, oh i'm gonna make hin wipe that smirk off his face. I stepped back and glared at him -Shut it.- i growled. He chuckled and crossed his arms -How does it feel, eh?- i rolled my eyes playfully -Whatever.- i giggled. -Oh, miss and mr Potter, follow me.- i looked over at a bald man. I looked at Harry with scrunched eyebrows "Who is he?" I mouthed at him. He shrugged and started to follow the man, i sighted and tagged along. We followed him into the Leaky Cauldron, there's this wierd atmosphere around this place.

Where are we?
