Bruce Wayne: The Fifth Marauder

Chapter 9: The Minister of Magic

Little Whinging, Surrey

"The knight-what?" asked Harry dubiously 'What on earth is a knight bus?'

"The knight bus!" Sirius exclaimed as if it was something anyone should know

Bruce gave a long almost desperate sigh, and looked back at Harry with a soft smile. Though, Harry could tell that he was pushing it out for him.

"You will know when you will see it." Bruce said softly "Now, before you summon the bus, we will change into our animagus forms"

"Um okay, how do I do that?" Harry asked hesitantly

"Were you raised in a cave?" asked Sirius jokingly, though he knew that with those muggles-most likely "You just reach out your wand" and then the two men turned into their forms.

The bat sat on Harry's shoulder, while the dog stood beside him. Harry twirled his wand in his hand and looked at his two uncles, who nodded approvingly. Hesitantly, the boy reached out his wand and a traumatizing loud noise sounded from somewhere down the street. Harry looked down the street and saw a high three leveled blue bus driving to his direction at an uncontrollable speed, only to abruptly stop right in front of him.

Its doors and reveal a young man wearing a shabby conductor uniform, Harry stood there at a loss of words once the man began to read out loud a speech written on a little piece of paper.

"Welcome to the 'night bus, a transport fo' a'stranded witch o' wizard. M' nam' is Stan Shunpike an' I'll be your' cond'ctor for this evening" The man, Stan, looked around as if expecting somebody from far away and only then he looked down at Harry.

"Watcha' starin' at?" he asked

"N-nothing!" exclaimed Harry, suddenly realizing that he was indeed staring at the man

"W'ats ya nam'?" Stan asked

"Neville Longbottom" Harry said quickly, the two animals near him looked at him in confusion "We need to get to the Leaky Cauldron, that's in London"

"Ah, alright then hop on" said Stan and then suddenly paled and and yelped "Ah! Nev look out the's a grim beside ya!"

"A what?" Harry asked and looked down at Sirius "Oh I get it, don't worry it's just my dog-Paddy"

If the dogs could glare that would've been exactly what Sirius was doing right now

"Ar' ya sur'?" Stan asked still quiet frightened and looked back at Harry, and then pointed at Bruce "an' the bat also?"

Harry nodded, and Stan sighed "Tha'll be 2 galleons"

Harry gave him the money and, with Stan's help pulled his trunk up to the bus. Once inside Harry sat on one of the beds that were placed in the middle of the bus, Stan gave him the ticked and knocked to the drivers window.

"Ta'e it a'ay Ern"

And then suddenly a dried head yelled "Yeah! Take it away Ernie! It's goin' to be a bumpy ride" and the bus shot out as bullet from the spot. Harry and Bruce hugged each other for security while Sirius took the enjoyment to jump around the bus as if he was surfing.

'This will be a bumpy ride indeed' thought Harry

30 minutes later

Harry and the two animal stumbled out of the bus of insanity with Night Wing yelling "I swear to god if I will ride this thing one more time-!"

"Oh, cheer up Wingie, at least you got some ice breaking with Harry. You should be happy" said Padfoot and then he turned to his godson "Am I right pup?"
