chapter 1:The boys who lived.
On a quite cold night at privet drive, number four's lights went out indicating that Vernon and Petunia Dursley were making their way up to bed.
It had been a strange day for Mr. Dursley, He kept seeing people in cloaks everywhere kept hearing the dreadful name of "Potter" nearly everywhere he went. He even had to ask his wife she'd heard anything from her sister lately. They made an uath to pretend that she never even had a sister, but she replied with, "Nothing at all." At that, the conversation was dropped.
Before Mr. Dursley went , he peered out of his bedroom window to see no the strrets and the the lights shining brightly in the distance. He disappeared from the window and crept into bed.
Only a few minutes later, an elderly man with a snow white beard appered from round the corner. He was wearing an emerald green cloak and hat and was merrily humming his way down the path of Privet drive while looking through his half-moon glasses.
He stopped at number 2 and then pulled out a strange sort of lighter. He clicked H e clicked a button, and the nearest light to him into the lighter. He clickedit again, and again until until it was nearly pight black. The only light that could be seen was from the moon.
A loan black cat was sitting on a brick wall nearby, watching the man intently. the cat made it's presence known and meowed.
The man turned, eyed the cat suspiciously for a few moments and chuckled lightly to himself. He walked over to the brick wall and carefully sat down on it.
"I should have known you would be here," The man started. He looked over ay the cat. It had markings around it's face as if it was wearing glasses, it's back was black with the very tip of it's chest as white. "Professor Mcgonagall."
The cat meowed again again. The crackand crunches could be heard from the other side of the street.
The man looked at the cat again, but… it wasn't a cat next to him anymore. It was a stiff looking looking.
"Evening Professor Dumbledore." The women called McGonagall got off of the wall wall and sighed "I've been sitting there all day…"
"All day? When you could have been celebrating?" Dumbledore said.
No, nobody's been celebrating, everyone's been raving mad. It may be joyful time, Albus, but you would have thought they would have been more careful. Owls have been flying left right and center in broad daylight, shooting stars all over Kent. I heard it all on the muggle news. I bet it was Dedalus Diggle! He never had any sense!"
"Calm yourself, Professor." Dumbledore said gently.
The woman sighed again and then muttered, "Are the rumours true Albus?"
I'm afraid so professor the god. The good... and and the bad."
"So... Lily... a-and James-" McGonagall was cut of by Dumbledore nodding silently. He began walking down the street again.
"And the boys?" McGonagall questioned again.
"Hagrid is bringing them." Dumbledore replied calmly.
Do you really think it's safe? Trusting in Hagrid with somthing as... as important as this?"
Dumbledore chuckled again and ended with, "I would trustv Hagrid with my life, Professor."In the distance, a white light in the sky could be seen. It was speeding towards the two professors at full speed and ended up crashing into the numerous flowers in front of the houses. The light belonged to motor bike, a flying motorbike. On tnis was a giant of a man with a great bushy beard and hair.
The giant took of the goggleshe wore and greeted the two of him. "Professor Dumledore sir, Professor McGoagall."No probles I trust , Hagrid?" Dumbledore said as Hagrid got down from the bike. Under both his arms, he carried two bundles.
"No sir. The pair of 'em wen' ter' kip as we where flyin' over Bristol." Handing one of the bundles to Dumbledore and the other to Mcgonagall." Try not to wake 'em... there we go.
Both the Profesors looked down to what was in the bundles. In the one Dumbledore was holding was with a small boy with a lightning bolt shaped scar on the right of his forehead and the one in McGonagalls arms was a slightly larger boy with a scar identical to the other boys on the left of his forehead. The one that Dumbledore was holding with Jet Black hair and the one that McGonagall was holding had dark red hair. Both scars were new and fairly deep. The slightly larger boy's eyes opened.
"Albus... he's awake," McGonagall said looking at the boy she was holding.
"Not to worry Professor."Hagrid said "Ran in ter young Sirius Black. Said the lad weren't much of a crier."
McGonagall nodded and smiled at the small boy in her arms. he cooed and gargled in responce.
Dumbledore started making his way down the path, but number four, the Dursley's residence.
"Albus? Do you really think it's safe leaving them with these people? I've watched them all day, they'rethe worst sort of mugles imaginable, they really are-"
"The only family they have left." Dumbledore said softly, resting one boy on the doorstep. He gesturedfor theother boyand McGonagall handed her to him.
"These two will be famous. There won't be a child in our world who wont know there names-"
"Exactly." Dumbledore whispered coldly. "They're far better being from all that, until they are both ready to take it all in, don't you think so?"
McGonagall just stared at Dumbledorrebefore saying, "yes... yes, your right."
Dumbledore leant dow and the slightly larger boy beside the other. He peered up at them with light shining eyes. His fathers eyes.
"Just like James." McGoagall whispered fondly.
From behind, Hagrid sniffled lowly, forbidding this threatening to drop.
There, there, Hagrid. It's not realle good bye after al." Dumbledore said.
Hagrid only nodded as Dumledore withdrew a leeter from his cloak.
"I have instructed Mr. and Mrs. Dursley to explain everything to them when the time comes." Dumbledore said. He bent downonce againand the letter on one of the budles. The lettersaid:
Mr and Mrs Dursley
4 Privet drive
Little Winging
Surrey
He got up and looked down at the babbies.
I'd better be goin' now. See you in Hogwarts, Professors." Hagrid said as he got back on the motorbike and kicked the it to life again.
"Farewell, Hagrid." Both the proffesors said.
"I'd better better be going too, headmaster."McGonagall said. She said goodbye to Dumbledore and soonthe woman was not there, but the tabby. The cat jogged down the street out of sight.
Dumbledore looked at the pair one more time and whispered. "Good luck Harry and Arnold Potter."
He then walked from the house and out of sight,
The two baby boys stayed there the rest of night. The slightly larger boy stayed wide awake, making surethat nobody would come near them and as the images of the previous hours ran through her mind. The other boy, however, slept peacefully well until the morning and was awaken by the screams of his Aunt Petunia.
