Ravenclaw's Unwanted

Cat and Mouse

It was morning and I was already getting funny looks from the people in the Leaky Couldren. Thank god I stole alot of money from my house when I left. Now I might actually be able to survive on my own.

After I got some grub, I went to the back of the pub. I looked at the brick wall and stared at it. "What was the combonation again? Ok, try up down left right... Nope. How come I never pay attention to this! OH! Now I remember!"

I tapped in the right comonation this time and was allowed to enter the Alley. Now all I have to do is get my books, robes, and hope to god that no one I know finds me here. I see people that I recognize and run into the nearest store. I peek to see who it was.

"HARRY!" I yell while I pounce on him. I hugged the living day lights out of him, and I scared the crap out of him too.

"Blimy, what are you doing here! Where are your parents?" he asked when I let go of his neck.

"Ermmmm... I, uhh... Ran away..." I explained.

"What?"

"I cant take it anymore. Im an alein to them," I started. I saw his face and I knew that he understood what I meant. Thats the thig I love about him. He's one of the only people who acctually understood me. Its sad though. He should'nt have to understand.

"I know the feeling. I ran away too. Then I got picked up by the~"

"Knight bus? Me too." I finished for him.

"So why did you leave?" he asked taking a sudden interest. I explained the entire night to him and I tried to see what was going on his his mind, but it was all to challenging. I could read anyone like a book, but not him. Not Harry, and I don't even know why.

"I lost control of my magic and blew up my aunt. She insulted my parents. I hate her." he said.

"Nice. I like it. But hate is a very strong word." I replied.

We started walking up and down the streets when I saw another familliar face. Great, Malfoy.

"Look here, its scarface and the bookworm! What are you now, boyfriend and girlfriend?" he laughed at his own joke. "I knew it was only a matter of time that the pure blood would go for the oh so famous Harry Potty."

"Screw off, Blondie. Were not dating. Although you wish you were, right?" I replied to the insults cooly. If he thaught he was sly, then he was in for a real treat.

"What ever you say. homeless." he said in return. How. Did. He. Find. Out?

"What did you say to me, pureblood?"

"Homeless? Yeah, I know what happend. You chickened out and ran away from home. I was told this morning. Your dear old mummy told my mum and I to look for you and bring you back safe and sound." he said with a smirk on his face. "Of course, my mum won't hurt you, but I didnt promise anything."

"Malfoy, just leave us alone." Harry put in to our conversation.

"Stay out of it, Potter!" Draco said as he grabed my arm. "And your going back home."

I just stood there while Harry grabbed my other arm. "No, she's not."

I looked at Harry and told him to let go. He looked suprised, untill I winked. He let go and I gave Malfoy what was coming to him. He fell to the floor clutching his face as Harry and I started to run away.

After we were a safe distance, we started laughing.

"Thanks for the help, Harry."

"Anytime." he said. "I better get going, though. Ron and Hermione are problaby waiting for me. You want to come along?"

"No, I think I'm OK. See you at school."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had no idea where to go. Do I just stand around like a freak? Do I go on a rampage and run around? I have the money to do something, but I still had no idea what to do. I think I should get differnt robes. I went back to the robe shop. I already had my school supplies, and had a crap load left. I bought my robes and changed,  but my hair was to recognizeable. I was basicly the only witch with short hair.

I walked around Diagon Alley and found a hat shop. I hated hats with a firey passion, but I needed a discuise. Now that I knew that the Malfoys and my parents were looking for me, I had to play smart. I bought a hat and was out.

I wore the hat out and nothing happend. Good, no one suspected a thing. Untill, I saw Malfoy. Again. He looked at me very closely, shook it off, and walked away. God that was close. I dont think this will be enough, but it will have to do for today.

I then went into Flourish and Blotts and broused for books on spells. The ones that would be in the restricted section at school, not the silly text book ones. I want to find out about darker magic.

Bingo. The perfect book.

I look in it and see a spell. Abovo Venasco.

"What do you do..." I said to myself.

Then I heard the door open. Crap its my mum. I snuck past her and went to the register. I bought the book and and ran out as fast as I could. She followed me, but she never chased me. Then I ran into my dad. And when I said ran into, I mean it. He grabed my wrists and threw me against  the wall. He didnt say anything, then Draco came with his dad. Aw crap. I need to get out of here. My mum eventually caught up with and smiled an evil smile.  I struggled and kicked him where it mattered.

He imediately fell to the floor, and I ran as fast as I could. As far as I could tell, I was home free. I still had to wonder around the Alley. It was the only place where I'd have witnesses. It was the only safe place. I was speed walking and extremely paranoid, when I tripped over my shoelaces. I bent down to tie it, when someone tripped over me....
