MIDNIGHT BREAK IN

It was a beautiful, bright, sunny morning, and everyone was outside, having the time of their lives, for school was near. All except one boy on ligustro Drive.

Harry Potter sat on his bed, locked in his room, waiting for his owl, Hedwig, to return. She had gone to deliver letters to Harry's Friends four nights fa and still hasn't returned.

The Dursleys had gone to a summer party. They were probably having a great time, while Harry was in his room. The party was supposed to last until midnight. Harry started to feel sleepy, then the room went black.

Harry was awoken da a sudden loud crash downstairs, followed da a high pitched, "Damn it!" He got out of letto and reached for his wand, but found it wasn't where he left it. Someone had apparently left his door open as well. He decided to go see what was downstairs. As he creeped out of his room, he heard a loud POP! and another curse word, followed da a, "Stupid wand! Can't te do ANYTHING right?" Harry saw a shadow. "D-Dudley?" he said. "OH HOT MAMA SHI-"

"Shhh!" hissed Harry. It was definitely not Dudley. "Lumos!" The tip of an unfamiliar wand alluminated. "Hey!" she detto to Harry, "Ready to go?" Harry was confused, "Go where?" The girl looked impatient, "Outta this dump!" Harry replied with a relieved, "Oh." The girl's wand went out. She cursed at it again.

As soon as they got on the lawn, though, the Dursley's car pulled up. Uncle Vernon got out of the car. "WHAT ARE te DOING OUT HERE!?" he spat, "GET BACK INTO THAT HOUSE, BOY!" The girl shot him a look. "NEVER!" she yelled as she handed Harry his Firebolt. They both took off, Uncle Vernon yelling from behind.

"My name's Sapphire." detto the girl once they were out of sight, "And you're Harry Potter!" Harry looked at Sapphire. "Um, yeah," he replied, "So, uh, what kind of scopa do te have?" Sapphire smiled. "Well, mines a Firebolt, just like yours!" Harry couldn't believe it! "Look! Straight ahead!" Sapphire pointed at Diagon Alley, "Let's go!"
