Spoiler warning: The text below is about parts of the story or how it ends.

After accidentally inflating his Aunt Marge, Harry leaves the Dursleys, and catches a ride on the street on a magical bus. While on his way back to Hogwarts, he learns of Sirius Black, a mass murderer, believed to have killed thirteen people with a single curse. Black has escaped from the wizard prison, Azkaban. This is only a single clue as to where he might be headed: Harry's defeat of Lord Voldemort was Black's downfall as well, and the prison guards heard him saying in his sleep "He's at Hogwarts...he's at Hogwarts." Harry is not safe even within the walls of his own school where he is protected by Dumbledore and his loyal friends. The traitor is closer than he thinks.
