Chapter 1
It was a simple cold night at Private Drive as the first signs of winter frost were beginning to come in. There were no cars, people or many lights to be seen other than the street lights that filled it. There has never nor ever to be anything unexpected to occur here. So it would seem strange to see a cat siting stiffly still on a wall by number 4 private drive staring endlessly at the far corner of the street where a strange looking man appeared as if by magic.
He was a tall man wearing grey robes that touched the floor and a pair of slippers to match. His slim face was covered with a really long silver hair and beard. So long that he was able to tie it near his belt. His eyes were light, bright and shone brightly under his half-moon spectacles which rested on his slim, but broken nose. Which seemed to have clearly broken twice in his life. Overall, he seemed very old and very wise. This man was Albus Dumbledore.
Despite how out of place he looked in the street at this time of night he didn't seem bothered at all as he fiddled in his pocket and pulled out a lighter when clicked it turned off the light to the nearest lamppost. He repeated this eleven more times until every light in the street was off. Leaving Private Drive in total darkness for no one to see if they ever peeked through their windows. All except for the cat which still hadn't moved from its place on the wall. Albus just chuckled as he made his way to the cat.
'I should have known you would be here. Professor McGonagall' by the time he reached the wall the cat had been replaced by a thin woman also in spectacles as well as dark green robes and black pointy hat. To complete the look her face was pulled back tight in a high bun and had thin lips which completed her stern look the same as the cat.
'Good evening Professor Dumbledore. May I ask, what gave me away?'
'My dear professor I have never seen a cat sit so still'
'Well wouldn't you if you were sat on a wall all day' Dumbledore smiled as he sat down on the wall and pulled out a sweet.
'Would you care for a sherbet Lemon?'
'No thank you'
'Fair enough I find it has a fascinating form of taste for muggle candy' he said as he popped it into his mouth. There was silence for a while, but knowing he wasn't going to talk first McGonagall broke it.
'Albus, I couldn't join the celebrations with everyone else without knowing for certain—are the rumours really true about the Potters? Lily and James?'
'I'm afraid Minerva that it all appears to be true. Voldemort has been defeated and the Potters are indeed dead'
'Oh Albus' she quickly pulled out a handkerchief and dabbed the light tears that were threatening to spill.
'Yes, what is a happy hour for most is a sad one for so many who knew them'
'And the children?' she inquired
'The children are safe and are on their way here with Hagrid as we speak'
'Do you really think it's wise to trust Hagrid with such a matter as important as this? '
'I would trust Hagrid with my life'
The conversation was stopped as they turned at the noise of a grumbling roar that came from the sky. Which in turn turned out to be a motorbike that was indeed flying in the sky. The noise grew louder as it approached them until it finally came to a stop. Revealing the half-giant Hagrid as its rider.
'Professor Dumbledore. Professor McGonagall' he called in a booming voice
'There was no trouble picking them up where there Hagrid?' asked Dumbledore
'Just one really it seems that Ellie was damaged in the attack. I did what I could an' it seems the bleedin' has stopped. Other than that the two little tykes fell asleep as we were flying over Bristol' their attention was then drawn to two small bundles that had been attached to Hagrid's chest. They were both carefully removed and each placed in both Dumbledore and McGonagall's arms.
As soon as the girl was placed in McGonagall's arms, she carefully started looking for the injury that Hagrid had mentioned. It didn't take long for after the blanket had been removed there, as clear as day, was a blood stained handkerchief. She gasps upon seeing the deep blooded cut that was running down her arm. With a flick of her wand the stains had gone. And true to his word, the wound had indeed seem to have healed and quite quickly for a mark such as it was.
'Is that-?'
'-A scar. Yes it seems that both children have gained one from the curse. How she has gained hers it yet to be revealed. However, it does mean that certain changes have to be made' McGonagall began wrapping Ellie back into her blanket and out of the cold. 'Like what?' she asked. 'We are not aware of the power behind these scares, particularly together. So for the safety of both children it is wise that Ellie should stay with Remus as being her Godfather and only other remaining relative she has'
'But that doesn't mean that it would be wise leaving the boy with these muggles Dumbledore? I mean I've watched them all day and they are the worst sort of muggles I've ever seen' as he didn't respond she continued. 'They really are'
'They are the only close family he has' he began walking towards number 4 Private Drive. McGonagall and Hagrid in tow, who was silently crying.
'But this boy will be famous. After tonight there will not be a child in our world who won't know his name'
'Exactly. He will be far better off growing up away from all that' he glanced down at the bundle before looking back at her 'Until he is ready'. He then placed Harry down on the front porch and placed a small envelope within the bundle. Which Harry, self-consciously seems to cling onto as he turned within his blanket. Showing within his little patch of black hair a small scar in the shape of a lightning bolt. A sniff and deep cough echoed from Hagrid. 'There now Hagrid. It isn't really goodbye after all' he nodded and used his sleeve to wipe his eyes.
'I'll take her now Minerva' Ellie was carefully passed into his arms. And they all began to head back out of the street. Hagrid on his motorbike after he bid his farewells. McGonagall lingered by Dumbledore's side for a bit longer as they watched the motorcycle fly off into the night.
'Albus, I still don't understand. If both of the children are containing a scar wouldn't it be better for them both to be hidden away from their "fame" than split them up? And as much I know that Remus will surly do a good job of caring for the girl, but with a condition such as his won't she be in more danger?'
'My dear Minerva I do not think that Ellie has the same type of scar as Harry and I'm sure there are others whom Remus will be able to rely on when needed'
'Very well. Good night professor' with that she began walking out of Private Drive. Turning back into the cat as she did. With Ellie safely in his arms. Dumbledore too began making his way out of the street, but before he did he pulled out the lighter and clicked it once and the light returned to all of the lampposts.
'Good luck, Harry Potter' with a pop he was gone.
