When snape took his leave, albus sat down by the fire in his room and was thinking about what to do and that's when he thought of the idea. He soon decided to wake up early the next morning and go to Privet Drive himself to see the Dursley's for himself before coming to a final conclusion of Harry's guardians. He knew that he had to do it for harry, to ensure his future. Finally making his decision, he called his elf Winky.

"Winky, will it be allright if you could bring me my breakfast at 6 am tomorrow morning? I have some urgent errands to run in the muggle world so I would be leaving early and I wish to have my break fast here before leaving." Asked the man to his elf.

"Sure, head master sir. Winky do anything for his master sir. He is so kind." said the elf.

To this albus smiled. He will never understand as to why winky always praises him but he never even says anything because he knew that his elf will feel bad. Albus listens to a lot of people praising him and he always ignores all of them. Its hard to be him. What with the minister of magic always wanting albus's assistence in decisions, and him defeating grindelwald. But he had his own shares of ups and downs and he knew never to let the compliments raise himself because as always if he started basking in his own glory then the mistakes he tends to make are not small. The reason he never accepted the position of minister of magic is because he never trusted himself with power.

There was one last job to do. He knew that if he was leaving hogwarts for the whole day tomorrow he needs to inform someone so that people wouldn't wonder about him. He can either send her a letter or rather meet her. He quickly decided on the latter. He got up from his chair and made his way to the door and down the stairs and quickly stood infront of her door and knocked it three times.

He stood there patiently for the door to open. As he stood there he heard a chair moving as if the owner of the room has been sitting on chair and suddenly the door opens. The old man smiled at the person standing there and looks at his ex-student, present gryffindor house head mistress and deputy headmistress of the school. Minerva Athena McGonnagal.

"Ah my dear minerva, how are you today? Am I allowed to come inside?" asked the head master as if minerva wouldn't invite him inside.

"oh Albus! Am sure we can find a way to talk while you are standing out. You know I don't exactly mind if you are standing out in the corridor in the night oh, let me check the time at probably 11 pm?"minerva said to albus in a playful manner continuing the banter which albus started.

Albus started laughing at the witty remark made by his colleague and started walking in as Minerva moved aside to let albus come into the room. Minerva's and his playful banter will continue absolutely till the end of the year if he did not end. He's not sure if it will even end at the end of the year but it was always funny for them both.

"Am sorry my dear to have disturbed you at this un-godly hour. I didn't look at the time when I decided to come and meet you. Am I disturbing you? " asked albus really seeming very serious that he didn't try to check the time.

"No Albus I was going through the assignments of the 5th years and am very glad for the break. The incompetence of these children started to get through my head. It wouldn't have been soon if I wouldn't have given them all an F or perhaps a T without even reading it." Said minerva grimacing.

Albus was chuckling to himself. It was true for a person who likes a subject very much to correct the assignments of those students who hate the subject and write fanatical essays driving the reader insane to that point which makes the reader wonder about his own sanity. He himself read many essay's similar to the one's though he was very "INSPIRED" by such essays he knew what effect it has on Minerva.

"So albus am sure your visit at this time is not without a reason?" said minerva dragging albus from his thoughts.

"Minerva as you very well know that james and lily died and harry's accomodation needs to be settled. Taking recet events into account some one has actually made it a point to notify me that harry shouldn't be sent to his aunt's home. The source said to me that harry will not be treated well because his aunt clearly dislikd her sister with passion. But as you very well know the protection which lies within that house I myself want to go and check on them. To ensure not only the boy's safety but even his growth. This means that tomorrow I won't be present in hogwarts . I think you are understanding my line of thought here dear." Says albus.

"Ah, yes albus its okay if you leave the castle tomorrow. You know I can look after them for one day. It sure wouldn't be a problem. But albus I am really glad to that 'source' who ever it is that you are re-thinking the option." Says minerva air quoting the word source so that albus wouldn't miss it.

"Ah minerva am sure you would" said the head master with the twinkle back in his blue eyes. "okay then dear , I am afraid I should go back now if I wish to continue my plans for tomorrow. Have a good night and – have fun correcting those papers."

As soon as albus reached his quarters that night he slept off. He was very tired and he sure was going to have a long day tomorrow. He needs to be up at his feet by half past five tomorrow because he knows he has lots of work to do.

Sharp at five albus woke up. He was restless. He soon got up from his bed and wore his silk robe and went into the washroom. He quickly washed his face and went to have a bath. He had quite a long and a warm bath. Many witches and wizards might find it funny but Albus actually enjoys his bath. It is the only time of the day when he is not sleeping and still he feels relaxed. But it is also the time when albus thinks a lot albeit this morning he didn't think. He just relaxed the whole time.

When he came out he picked out a maroon colour robe with gold embroidery lining the neck of his robe. It made his blue eyes pop. As he got ready he heard a sounf of a pop and went into his living room to see winky already setting the table for his breakfast. He noted that it was already quarter to six. And he has to quickly rap up to go and check on the Dursley's. He ate pancakes. His favorite dish for break fast. Everyone who knew dumbledore knows that he has a sweet tooth. And he did nothing to hide that impression he creates.

He quickly ate his breakfast enjoying it and then drank pumpkin juice. He was going to have a very long day indeed and was sure that it will be for the better good. As he completed eating his breakfast he quickly went on to add some glamour on him. He knew that the whole day he is going to be invisible but still he couldn't go into the muggle world looking like a wizard. That would raise some doubts.

He picked up his wand and started to head out of his quarters when he suddenly stopped. He seemed to have forgotten something. But what? Then he remembered. He turned around and went to his table and picked up a glass bottle full of lemon drops. How could he forget it? And then he started walking towards the door of his quarters, out of the great hall and out of the gates of the castle this time without turning back for anything.

As soon as he crossed the gates of the castle he apparated.

With no sound he landed on the plain ground before Number 4, Privet Drive.

So how's it? i hope you all liked it :) :)
