Dear diary,
Today I'm finally leaving this place! I just can't take it anymore, I need to leave. I'm always in the shadows of my siblings, the forgotten child, my parents are never proud of me. I'm constantly compared to my siblings, especially my sister, Ginny. I just feel so unloved here, I need to escape. I've gotten everything that I'll need for the past 4 weeks. I've also got this muggle thing called money? I think that's what it's called, I use it to buy stuff. I can't wait to leave! Escape life, escape the wizarding world, escape my well known name "The Chosen Ones Best Friend"! I can't wait!

Sincerely,
Ron

Tonight I'm leaving, well after I eat dinner of course, then I'm apparating to muggle London to try and find a place to stay for the night. I've got everything I've packed, I just can't stay here. I constantly get bullied by my siblings, I'm constantly sad and upset. Mione's noticed that, she thinks I have depression because of Fred's death. But really, there's so much more to it.

"KIDS COME DOWN FOR DINNER!" I heard my mum say, I took a deep breath before heading down, this'll be the last time I see my family. I wiped away my tears and climbed down the many stairs leading to the kitchen. I looked to see what my mum was cooking, chicken. My favorite! I will sure miss her chicken when I'm gone. I took my seat in between Ginny, and George.

George hasn't been doing so well after Fred's death, he never leaves his room unless to use the bathroom or to eat meals, he even closed his joke shop for until he's ready to come back! I feel absolutely terrible, I wish it were me that died that day, I'm sure no one would care, they'd just be happy that it was me and not anyone else.

I looked at my chicken, I was very hungry but then I thought, do I really deserve to eat? I mean, seriously do I? I don't deserve mums delicious food, I don't deserve anything. I looked at my plate, my stomach grumbling, I just sat there and watched everyone else eat.

"Ron dear, you haven't even touched your plate." Mum said, sounding concerned, she isn't really concerned, I can tell.

"I'm not that hungry..." I said.

"Ron not hungry? That's a first!" I heard my sister Ginny say, she was laughing, soon everyone else was also laughing. I looked down at the floor, tears swelled in my eyes, I can't take this anymore, I need to leave now.

"May I be excused?" I asked politely.

"Yes, just know that Harry and Hermione are coming over tomorrow." My dad told me. I simply nodded and headed upstairs to my room.

I completely panicked, it left my mind that Harry and Hermione were coming over! I felt very guilty now, there gonna come over here and expect to see me and I'll be gone! I'll be very far away from the burrow. Maybe I could stay for one more day, I haven't seen them in a while. But I can't just stay, I can't stay here or else I'll break down. I need to leave.

I quickly gathered all my stuff, and thought of the place I wanted to go. I have never been to Muggle London before, I've only seen it in pictures my dad has showed me. I quickly thought of Muggle London, and without another second to loose, the sight of my bedroom disappeared. Apparating felt pretty weird, I never apparate, the last time I did was when Harry, Hermione, and I were on the run.

Suddenly, I heard honking, I looked around and saw a street with large buildings, I looked around, I was in London! I quickly got excited, I can't believe I actually ran away from home. I never thought in a million years that I would be standing in London, beautiful London! But the only problem was, I needed a place to stay, and I have no clue where I can stay. I looked up places to stay in London online, from a muggle device called a phone that Hermione bought for me. There was something called a hotel? I'm pretty sure that's what it's called. It said a hotel was a place where guests get to sleep in this room for a certain number of nights, of course it's not free. I quickly took my wallet out of my pocket, I only had $20. I guess I should probably get a muggle job, but where?
