Yes!
I am finally free from all those grueling hours of doing nothing and being constantly watched, not to mention the insufferable expressions the doctors made whenever they visited, with only the nurses for consolation.
Of course, they extended my stay to make sure I had fully recovered and to rule out any other illnesses. They had to make sure that I didn't have the AIDS as they had claimed now that I got miraculously healed, so I had to stay there until the end of June. Now I don't have much time—maybe a month at most—until the Hogwarts letter arrives.
All that preparations for a decade dissolved into nothing at last and now I have to make last minute preparations.
After reaching the orphanage, the matron, of course, grounded me because of my any future health issues. But that didn't matter to me, because at night I just left the orphanage through the window. Of course, I didn't just jump from the second floor; I used my "Spiderman" powers to stick to the wall and slowly descended.
I changed my appearance to look like Willem Dafoe and dressed in all black attire smilling menacingly and moving through the roofs occasionallywalking on walls. Did I just became green goblin and then started acting as spidermen?
I shake my head off of unnecessary thoughts as I focus on the task ahead, I had three missions to complete before the letter arrived:
1. Get money, preferably gold, or jewelry.
2. Acquire firearms.
3. Find a safe place to keep the gold and firearms temporarily; I definitely can't store them at the orphanage, a place with no personal privacy.
And so, my plans began.
The gold wasn't too hard to get. I could either steal it from a bank or from a rich person. The bank was challenging because, even if I impersonated the bank owner, I would still need the vault password, which would take more time and effort than I could afford. So, I ended up robbing a random rich guy from the wealthy district. It wasn't that hard I just had to sneak and climb the walls and just enter through the windows.
Ofcourse there are always elements that would not go according to plan, for me it was that the window I randomly chose to enter through was the bedroom and let's just say I witnessed things a 11 year old should not be witnessing. And yes it was better for both the party to not have discovered each other because I think it would be equally bad if they are having a good time and then they randomly see Willem Dafoe smilling face.
God! Why did I just imagine that! Oh, I will need therapy after that.
Atleast the couple won't need it.
Getting back on track, I entered through different balcony, before checking if there is someone in there ofcourse and then I just had to search and loot and I doubt that any noise I made would have alerted them. Then I just left.
Sigh, the theives have it rough.
For the firearms, I managed to get a handgun by breaking into a police armory. It wasn't difficult, as I just had to buy a donut box and impersonate the right person at the right time, distract them by giving them donuts and then stuff the handgun and some rounds into the donut box and escape...
And last but not least, I needed a secret hideout.
Finding a place was tough, but I managed to buy a house about a half-hour walk from the orphanage. This part was annoying because of all the paperwork, but most of it was handled through bribes. That cost me some money, but I figured I'd just steal a bit more from another unlucky rich person.
And so, the days passed in relative tranquility.

16th July
Yawn! I stretch my arms into the air until my whole body shivers.
"Ah!" I release a satisfied sigh, feeling that perfect body stretch.
I can feel it: today, I'm going to be lucky. Just based on that perfect stretch, you know, the kind where all the tension in your body just melts away.
I get up from bed, go to open the curtains for some sunlight, and then I see a brown-feathered owl perched on the window, staring at me with big dark eyes. I continue to head towards the bathroom to get fresh before suddenly halting. Taking a few steps back, rubbing my eyes to make sure I'm seeing things correctly, I watch the window and lo and behold, in all its majesty sits a brown owl with a letter in its beak.
I squeal in happiness, open the window, and let the owl in. It lands gently on my desk, drops the letter, and stares at me again.
Before picking up the letter, I dash to the kitchen to get some food for the owl. I remember that Hagrid, who has a penchant for dangerous creatures, raises the owls, so who knows if this one is aggressive. I won't let that cute face with those big twinkling dark eyes fool me!
After feeding the owl, I pick up the letter and see the Hogwarts insignia. I open it...

There was also a second letter detailing the books and various items I'd need to buy, plus a notice about not bringing my own broom...
I quickly grabbed a pen and paper, wrote a letter accepting their invitation, and mentioned that I'd need assistance because of my circumstances.
I sealed the letter, handed it to the owl, who accepted it and flew out the window. I watched until it disappeared into the sky.
future chapter may be late because I have appointment with my therapist...
