As he sat down in his office near the window gazing out through the quidditch pitch and the hogwart's grounds tears tricled down his cheeks. He know's he has failed yet again, in his duties. Lily and James shouldn't have died they deserved to live their life happy with harry and that too a very long one but his protection failed. Sirius has not proved himself to be trustworthy but it is so unlike him. Voldemort killed James, he killed lily and their only son Harry is alive. He defied the killing curse. Voldemort fled. But what will happen to harry? Where will he live? All these questions are running through his mind. To any outer person who would have been watching dumbledore right now would think that he is planning for his next holiday. Such is the mind of the old man who is the most powerful wizard known of all times.

Since the attack on his parents harry had been under the care of hagrid and for one once Dumbledore was sure that harry is safe because he will trust hagrid with his own life. But that's not the only reason. He knows that voldemort is weak. Very weak and knew that he won't return soon. At least it will take some years to return but when he will return his power will be more stronger than ever before and it is only harry who could stop him. Suddenly bursting through the door entered the man wearing black robes quite contradictory to Albus's nature with dark eyes full of pain, remorse and anger.

"Ah, Severus my boy I believe you have visited Godric's Hollow?" asked the old man. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Severus nod his head, unable to speak. But Severus did not come here for that. No, Severus came here to confront the great Albus Dumbledore and albus knew it.

"You told you will protect her! You told that you will save her from him. You promised me that if I follow your orders and act as a spy then she will be safe. You lied to me. She's gone now. Dead . She won't ever come back" cried the man. He has to know why he has been used and why hasn't she been protected. Why should she be killed? He had to know what went wrong and he knew that the only person who knew what happened is the man standing in front of him , shoulder's slumped and feeling remorse himself. But him being a slytherin didn't care for any emotions showed. He is here to ask his questions and determined to find his answers.

"Alas, my boy it seems that lily and James trusted the wrong person. The secret keeper of the house was Sirius black and he betrayed James to Voldemort by revealing its existence. As soon as voldemort came to know of their residing house he went and tried to kill the boy. I think james first tried to protect harry and Lily but in vain as Voldemort took his life away and Lily on the other hand protected Harry by giving Harry the best protection she can give. She sacrificed herself to protect her son and by doing this she created a protection. And when voldemort turned towards Harry it so happens that the curse rebounded and hit voldemort himself and having no power left himself he has fled away"

"So he is gone now? The boy is safe isn't he?" , said severus.

"For now, my boy. The boy is safe for now! Alas I am sure that Tom will return again. It may not be today or tomorrow or next year but he will surely return. I am afraid that tom sunk himself so deeply in dark arts that he surely found a way to survive the killing curse my boy. So that means the boy is still in danger and he needs your help my boy." Said the head master looking directly into those cold dark eyes of Severus Snape.

Severus lost for words didn't know what to say. He knew that what dumbledore says is true. He himself had a feeling that this war did not end here. No this war will continue, it's just a break. An intermission similar to the ones in the muggle movies. And he knows that he needs to help the boy. Not for the sake of the boy but for the sake of lily. Lily died giving the boy the protection he has now but that wouldn't suffice. Once the dark lord joins the field he will be more powerful than he was now and the boy will have to stand alone and fight the dark lord. He has to protect the boy with all he has. His remorse for killing lily, for being the reason for her death is not the only thing which Is making him do so. But its his love for her. The boy has her eyes. He himself saw it. The boy should survive. The boy should kill the man who killed his only love. Avenging dark lord is what he wants.

"So what will happen to the boy now? Where will he live? Who will look after the boy now? " asked severus .

"Ah my boy that's a question to which I have been pondering over. I think it is the best idea to hand over the boy to the only blood relative he has left." said Albus.

To the only blood relative he has left? Who is this man talking about? As far as I know james didn't have any brother or cousin whom the boy can be handed over to look after. So is he talking about any living relatives of lily? MERLIN, the only living relative of the boy is petunia, lily's sister. "Old man, have you utterly lost your brain? Are you pointing out to me that the boy will live with that jealous, good for nothing , unobtrusive sister of lily's? Are you implying to me that the boy will live with Petunia Dursely in Privet Drive? In a muggle house? If that is your decision then old man you might as well visit 's right away and check your brain. Has the attack on potters caused you to loose your only brain? The boy will die there. Petunia absolutely loathed lily for the magic she had in her! Do not act as if you didn't know that Albus. I think it's the most inane idea you ever had."

"My dear boy there is no other option. The protection lily gave harry while her death is the blood protection. It will be strong if harry is placed under the same blood protection line. Harry will be safer there my boy. When harry lives there, tom himself can't touch him. Not that he can touch him now but the protection will be a hundred times stronger in privet drive. And more over if harry grows in the wizard world then the fame will get to his head. He is famous for nothing just at the age of 1 my dar boy , if he knows all of this while growing up he will be spoilt, head strong my boy and I don't think he should let it all get to his head I think its safer for him in privet drive No.4 . "says albus scrutinising the face of severus snape as he accounts his theory about harry's stay.

While snape gathers all this information in his head to think about it really, he understands at once that no matter what he thinks but albus is saying the truth. And moreover, the boy is james's child he should already have ego beyond anything placed in his head. But petunia is bound to make the boy's life a living hell and her husband will be with her. They'l make his childhood not worth living. They will abuse him he was sure of it. Severus knew what it was to be abused after all his father made sure he didn't have childhood. Though he hated the boy already he knew that the boy doesn't deserve that kind of treatment but how will the boy be safe? How will he get blood protection? If wards are placed around the house the boy lives, then the boy will be proteced will he not?

"Albus I am sure that you have thought about evry reason as to why you are placing the boy's care in those hands but I have every reason as to why the boy shouldn't be placed in those hands. They are unscrupulous muggles, they are not the normal muggles you think. They will ruin his child hood and abuse him albus. They merely will give him any food to eat. Petunia will ensure that the boy won't get any love. They will ABUSE him for Merlin's sake albus. The child will surely not have a proper adult life but it's the best we can do by atleast making sure he has a proper childhood. Don't deprive him of his childhood albus. Did you forget what my childhood was like? Or are you wanting the history to repeat itself? This time it will not be me but the boy who lived. Think albus. Am sure that we can give him the protection but for the next coming years its not the protection the boy will need but it's the love and a proper childhood."

Merlin's beard whats gotten into me? why am I acting so sappy? This old man will drive me nuts. Why do I care if the boy doesn't get his childhood? "Okay, I think I need to go now. I have a lot to do and I am not at all feeling well . After all I've said to you old man it will be really good if you re-think the idea of the boy's care takers. For now I am going." And swiftly he left his head master's office leaving dumbledore to think about what snape said .

He knew that if snape said something like that then it's really something to think about.

Ummm sooo how is it? be honest please i would really like what you think about it ! :D :D :D
