It was late at night on October 31st as a cat was watching a particular house when the street lights 'mysteriously' went out. Oddly enough the cat seemed to expect this and relaxed its rigid posture as a man with long white hair, a beard that was tucked into his belt, and robes colorful and loud enough to stop a blind bus driver appeared beside the cat's position.
"You know Minerva, if you relax, I'm sure you could add years to your life." The man said to the woman who had taken the cat's place.
Said woman seemed to ignore the man's words as she spoke, "I've been watching them for a good part of the day, Albus. While I don't dislike them, something about them seems… off." Minerva frowned as if the inaccuracy left a foul taste in her mouth.
"Off, Minerva?" Albus asked amusedly.
"Yes," Minerva continued to frown, "I've seen the woman and the son, but I've yet to see the man. And earlier, the child was playing in the yard with a throwing toy, almost every time, it would hit me, or come near enough. I'd think he was doing it on purpose, except he never threw it at me. Yes, Albus, something is decidedly off…"
Albus frowned a moment before shrugging, "Off or not, the woman is still his only living relative left…"
Minerva sighed, "I can't say I object, but I'm not wholeheartedly behind the idea. What about his heritage? How will he learn who he is?"
Albus produced an envelope at this question, "I have a letter prepared—"
"Albus! A letter?! Really now. You can't expect to explain everything in a letter." Minerva interrupted, scandalized.
"It will have to do." Albus tried to assure the woman, "It also contains information on how to contact me should it be necessary."
Somewhat mollified, Minerva released her argument… for now. With no more to be said, the two waited for two more, and with a tearful goodbye on the part of one, three departed leaving but a babe behind to be taken care of by the 'Off' family.
On the morning of November 1st, the door to Number 4 Privet Drive opened to reveal a one Harry Potter on the front step of the home of a one Petunia Seekan.
