Hey, guys. This is the official first chapter, and I hope to soon type up the second. Please review and tell me what you think. Don't be afraid to give me any suggestions or constructive criticism. I will gladly read it.
Molly Weasley was in London on the street of the Leaky Cauldron, looking in a muggle clothes store window. All of her kids were at home being watched by Bill. As she turned away from the display, she saw a family of four, walking down the opposite street. There was a tall, skinny woman with blonde hair whose lips were pursed out while her husband beside her was tall and fat. He also had blonde hair, but it looked like he was angry. There were two boys who looked to be about the same age. The one with blonde hair was short and chubby, and you definitely could tell he was the son of of the couple. The other boy had black hair that stuck up all over and green eyes with glasses that was tape around the nose part. The glasses were crooked and he had on clothes that were too big for him.
Molly frowned, looking at the boy. He looked familiar, but her thought process was interrupted as the boy with black hair said something and the man stopped. He turned behind to face the boy. His face started turning red, and he started yelling. He was so loud that Molly could hear him over the traffic.
"What did you say?! I told you to never speak of those things! Come with me!" The man yelled then grabbed the boy, pulling him into a nearby alley.
Molly's frown deepened and she quickly looked around, spotting an alley near her. She stepped into it and behind a dumpster then apparated over to the other alley. She appeared behind the man as he was spanking the boy with his belt. Molly gasped as she saw it. She knew some parents did this as punishment, but this man was hitting the boy harder than he should. The boy had tears running down his face, but was too scared to scream out.
She decided to take it upon herself to intervene. She tapped the man on the shoulder, and he stopped to look around. Molly was furious.
"How dare you beat that boy that way! No child deserves to beaten like that!" She yelled.
The man's face darkened to an another red. "Mind your business, woman! This child is my responsibility, and it's none of your business how I raise him!"
That only made Molly more furious. She glanced at the boy, and her eyes widened a bit as she saw a lightning bolt scar on his forehead. No wonder he looked familiar. This boy had to be Harry Potter. Why was he with this family?
Her gaze went back to the man as he yelled at her again. Molly had a steely gaze in her eyes. "You should be ashamed of how you're trying him. You should be reported, "she said.
This infuriated the man, and he started to grab her. Molly jumped back and brought out her wand. "Petrificis Totalus!"
The man fell over stiff as a board. The woman and her son were in the entrance of the alley, and she came running with her son following behind her. "What did you do to my husband?!"
Molly turned to look at her. "He can't move at the moment. That's all."
She faced forward and walked over to the black haired boy. She kneeled down in front of him. Her expression changed from one of anger to caring and worried. "Hey, sweetie. Are you okay?"
The boy sniffled and glanced over at the man. Molly noticed this. "It's okay. He can't hurt you."
The boy looked back at her. "N-not really..."
"What's your name?"
"Harry Potter."
Her expression stayed the same, but she was thinking. She was wondering why Harry was with this horrible family, and why they would treat him so badly. She stared at him for a moment then came to decision. "Harry, would you like to leave this family and never come back?"
He looked over at the man again then back at her. She smiled a little. "You'll never have to see him again. He won't be able to hurt you anymore."
Harry looked back at her, but still didn't say anything. Molly couldn't blame him. How could he be sure she wouldn't hurt him worse?
"I promise I'll never hurt you. You'll be safe. I won't let anyone hurt you, "She said, soothingly.
Harry stared into her eyes. All he could see was love and caring, He had seen that look in other parents' eyes at his school when they picked up their kids. He decided to take a chance. "Yes."
Molly smiled and stood up. She held out her hand and he took it. She looked back at the man and his family with a angry gaze. "You better not come after us. You'll never hurt him or touch him again."
The lady just stood there frozen in fear, glancing from her husband to Molly. The boy had a confused look on his face and didn't know what to do.
Molly looked down at Harry, smiling. "Let's go, Harry."
They walked out of the alley and later apparated after she explained what would happen. Harry had his second dose of magic that day, and he would always remember it as one of the best of his life.
