Escaped Again?! Never Mind...

Chapter 2 ~ Rosa's Letter

Two years later, a few things had changed since their first year at Hogwarts.

Daniel and Neville had turned out to be very close friends, and Rosa had made friends with Hermione.

Harry and Ron stayed as close as ever.

Rosa, Daniel and Ginny were the chasers on the Gryffindor quidditch team.

All six of them remained very good friends, and at this point, had taken on just about everything together.

Little did they know there were still many more adventures to come.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Rosa was in a very good mood today. She was always in a good mood when Daniel came to visit her at the orphanage, and today, they had gone to their favourite place to go together: The willow tree by the lake, where they met.

Not to mention she and Harry had just recently celebrated their thirteenth birthday. Although they couldn't celebrate it together.
Rosa had just come through the window of her bedroom, as she usually did when she wanted to get in, in secret, when the lady from the front desk of the orphanage came into the room.

"Letter for you." She said shortly before leaving the room.

Rosa looked curiously down at the letter in her hands. She had never received a letter like this before. The only ones she had received came from Harry, Ron, Hermione or Daniel. But, this didn't look like it was from any of them. There was a different stamp on it.

Rosa opened the envelope and read the message:

Dear Ms. Rosa Potter,

I would like to inform you, that your brother Harry has recently blown up your Aunt Marge, and has been sent for at The Leaky Cauldron. It would be greatly appreciated if you would join us here as soon as possible.

Sincerely,
Cornelius Fudge,
Minister for Magic.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Rosa was astonished. The Minister of Magic himself had sent HER a letter.
What did he mean, Harry had blown up Aunt Marge?

There was no doubt that Ms. Lawrence (The head of the orphanage) wouldn't like the idea of Rosa leaving the orphanage to go to the wizarding world. She would have to sneak out.

She grabbed her owl Belle, and her trunk of school supplies, and climbed back out of her window.

She made it to just about the street, when she stopped dead in her tracks.
She had no way of getting to the Leaky Cauldron.

Without knowing any better, Rosa sat down on the side of the street. Belle hooted in her cage. She hadn't been let out in a while.

"I promise I'll let you out as soon as we get to the Leaky Cauldron." Rosa told her.

Belle seemed to slump on her perch.
Without warning, a set of bright headlights rounded the corner at a very fast and reckless pace. The weird part was, they didn't seem to be attached to a car.

Before too long, a bus with several floors came to an abrupt stop directly in front of Rosa.

A tall man with a number of pimples on his face stepped off the bus, and Rosa stood up.

The boy read off his hand as he spoke to her.

"Welcome to the Knight Bus. Emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard. My name is Stan and I will be your conductor for this evening."

It was only now that Stan looked at Rosa for the first time. When he did, he seemed to hold in a laugh.
"Let me take your things for you, and you head on onto the bus." He said to Rosa.
