Petunia screamed when she opened the door the next morning and found a baby boy wrapped up in a blanket on her doorstep. The first thought that came into her head was 'What will the neighbors think?' and then 'Who would leave their son out on MY front step?'
Then she noticed a note carefully tucked into the folds of the blanket. 'Who put that here?' she wondered as she picked up the note and began reading it.
Mrs. Petunia Dursley,
We regret to inform you that there has been an accident and your sister, Lily, and her husband, James, were found dead in their house last night. This is their only son, Harry who we have put under your protection since you are his only family left.
A spell will activate when you agree to take this child into your home and treat him as your own. In return for keeping Harry safe and giving him a home(since we do not expect you to do this without some sort of favor on our part), we will watch your house and keep it safe from intruders as much as for Harry's safety as your own.
Albus Dumbledore
Headmaster
With a sob Petunia picked up her only nephew knowing that now she would never be able to say she was sorry for all the things she said to Lily. She couldn't very well treat him as well as she wanted because of her ranting about what a freak her sister was. 'Oh, well,' she thought to herself. 'At least I'm giving him a home and blood relatives.' And carried him into the house.
No one saw the cat sitting on the fence post smile when she saw Harry had been accepted into the house.
Likewise, no one saw snoopy Mrs. Fig watch the boy grow up from then on.
A/N: What do ya think? R&R please.
