Lily! It's Him! Run, take Harry and run!
Avada Kedarva.
No! Don't kill Harry!
Stand back foolish girl!
Stu-
Avada Kedarva.
Now for you… Avada Kedarva.

Albus, surely not with them. They will never understand!
They are his only family.
Maybe so, but I don't think this is wise.
Premonitions? You are starting to sound like Sybil.
If that's not an insult…
It wasn't.
I don't think he should be left here. There is obviously no way I can change
that though.
The Ministry has decided it. There isn't anything we can do.
Hmph.

You and your wife are positive there are no other living relatives?
None.
And, you are sure you truly want to do this.
Just because some child is dropped on our porch doesn't mean we are going to
take care of it.
Now, now. I must ask you this. Putting a child into an orphanage is a life
changing decision, not only for the child. You have no idea where the parents
are?
No clue. They were bums. Best way to describe them. Probably on all sorts of
drugs and didn't want responsibility anymore.
Hmm. Didn't want responsibility, eh? The child will be allowed to remain here
until we find his parents. If they are not located, he will officially become
part of the orphanage. We will contact you when anything is decided.
No need. As long as he won't be pushed back on us.
I assure you, he won't be.
Good. These papers were dropped off with him. Has his birth records and… That's
all.
Thank you Mr. Dursley.
