The young mother ignored the 'cat' perched on the fence, even though she knew what it really was, as she walked down the sidwalk, the hand of her son in her own. When her son began to whine that he wanted ice cream she scolded him and told him he wouldn't be getting any ice cream.

At her scolding the child threw a tantrum which resulted with him getting a whack on his bottom and a sharp reprimed from his mother. The boy stared up at her in surprise after she spanked him. "You can't always get your way Dudley." Was all she said before she started off down the sidewalk once more.

Later that day, when he got home form work, she told her husband that their house was being watched then asked him if he had noticed anything weird during his day and he answered that he had. "What do you think it means?" He asked after he told her what he witnessed.

"I'm not sure but I think the magical Dark Lord has been defeated and if I'm right, which I hope I'm not, we might be receiving word that my sister and her husband are lost to us..." She stated, trailing off at the end of the sentence.

The family went about the rest of their day as they usally would so that nothing seemed off about them, the parents never letting their son know something is wrong as they kept to their normal routine.

As night fell the mother sang her son to sleep and laid him in his cradle once he was sound asleep then joined her husband in their bedroom, after she was done shutting off all the lights. The next morning she was the firt one up and hurried downstairs to the front door where she jerked open it, praying she would find nothing but the milk that was delivered to their home.

At the sight of her nephew in the elder wizard's arms she pressed a hand to her mouth, tears in her eyes, she quickly scooped the basket up and made her way quickly to the next door neighber, knowing the family that lived there would take care of Harry while Vernon was home.

Andromeda Tonks was in the process of cooking breakfast for her husband and young daughter when a frantic knock sounded on the front door. "Now what?" She mummered as she moved to answer the door and was shocked to see the tear-stained face of Petunia Dursley with a basket in her arms.

"What's the matter Petunia?" She questioned as she helped the other woman inside and over to the couch.

""Lily and James...poor Harry...can you watch him until Vernon leaves for work...I think it's time for me to sign the divorce papers and move into the wizarding world so I can protect myself, my son and Harry." She gasped through her sobs.

"Of course I can watch young Harry, Nymphadora would love to have him visit. You just go clean yourself up and head back home to care for your own amily so Vernon doesn't suspect a thing. Ted, Nymphadora and I will be over to help you pack as soon as his car is no longer in sight." She comforted Petunia as she took Harry from her.

Petunia nodded and stood up to do as Andromeda told her to, stumbling up the stairs to the bathroom where she could wash her face and prepare herself to face the day, though it would be hard for her to do so without breaking down.

As soon as she was sure Vernon wouldn't be ablr to tell anything was wrong she headed back to her house just as Vernon woke up. "Is that you Pet?" He called down the stairs.

"Yes dear, I was just getting the milk before I started breakfast for you and Dudley." She called back and headed ffor the kitchen to begin cooking.

Andromeda watched from the window as she waited for Vernon to leave for work and, as soon as his car was out of sight, she picked up the papers that her husband, Ted, had helped her and Petunia with and made her way over to the Dursley home.

The minute the door was open she was talking, "If you will take Dudley over to my home Ted will watch him so we can get started on moving you and the two boys out of Privet drive. While you are getting your son ready I will start packing and you can sign the papers then help me pack."

Petunia simply nodded as she let Andromeda in before she went upstairs to get Dudley ready for the day. The rest of the day found Petunia and Andromeda packing up all of Dudley and Petunia's things plus everything Petunia had left from when her and Lily where younger.

"Do you know where you want to go?" Ted asked Petunia as he joined the two woman and Petunia nodded.

"Lily and James informed me of the location of Potter manor and said that if I ever need a safe haven then I could go there and I...we are defintly in need of a safe haven."

"But Potter manor's not safe anymore." Andromeda protested.

"It will be once I have hired a few goblins to ward it. James intrusted me with the Potter family vault key before him and Lily went into hiding besides I need to make a trip to Gringotts to have my sister and brother-in-law's will read." Petunia replied as she watched ed shrink the boxes that contained everything she was taking with her and stuck them in his pocket before vanishing in front of them.

"You, Ted and little Dora could come live with us, heaven knows I'll need the help when Harry starts doing accidental magic. If you can think of anyone else who wouldn't mind moving into Potter manor with us then they're more then welcome to."

Andromeda blinked in surprise before a grin spread across her face. "I'll go start packing our stuff as soon as Ted's back. That way he can take you and the children to Potter manor. I'll see you there." With that she was out the door just as Ted returned.

"Do I even want to know?" He quipped as he helped his daughter onto his back and picked up Harry's basket while Petunia lifted Dudley into her arms then the five of them vanished. Once they arrived at Potter manor Petunia informed him what her and Andromeda had planned.
