On another note, My brother and sister-in-law found their own place finally, now I'm just waiting for my sister and nephew to move out and it'll just be me at home with the mother haha …. On another/other note if you're reading Bloodlines than I'm almost half-way done and I wouldn't get your hopes up about it being posted anytime soon, amazingly I still have to do Christmas shopping and help my mum do hers, she's kind of hopeless haha. To those reading HPatMH then I haven't actually talked to my BETA but hopefully I'll be able to send her the rest of my chapters soon… Hopefully cos' theirs this one piece that just doesn't like me and won't let me write it. So it's unfinished.

Chapter One: I just wanna make you S W A G G E R

Humming slightly Sarah swaggered along the street with a bottle of Rum in her hands, her hair was down and blowing gently in the wind, her clothes were loose and ruffled and her heels clicked every time she took a step, she had been out on the town, drinking with some friends and she wanted to walk through the night, Well not exactly, she felt like she needed to take a walk during the night, so she followed her instincts.

Coming towards a street blacked out, Sarah comes to a stop before peering down the street, left and right she looked and it seemed that nobody was there, until that is, she sees a little light shining on one door step. Taking a step closer she sees an old man peering down at something on the door step while holding the light within his hands, an older lady was standing next to him doing the same thing while another guy was buy the road next to an old looking Motorbike.

Standing up straight she took a step just behind one of the houses and waited for the old man and lady to leave before watching as the lights suddenly flick back on and the motorbike go flying into the sky in the distance. Shaking her head at the carelessness of those foolish people, Sarah hummed as she walked closer towards the doorstep that those old people were standing on, coming to a stop suddenly she sees an old wooden basket sitting on the step, with a blanket wrapped tightly in the basket, taking a step closer Sarah lets out a gasp at the fact that a little baby was lying wrapped in a blanket on the step of the door.

Cooing slightly she plucked the little note tucked into the blanket before reading it:

Petunia,

This night your sister has come to an untimely demise, her and her husband have perished leaving behind your young nephew, I want you to take him in and make sure that he will be happy when we come back in 10 Years' time for him, I don't care what you do with him, but I want him ALIVE and BREATHING once he hits the age of 11, you will get your payment once a month, take care of young Harry.

Albus Dumbledore

Shaking her head slightly, Sarah silently picks the babe from the basket, taking another look at the note before snapping her fingers and letting it flare up in flames, making sure she had a hold on both the child and her bottle of rum she makes her way towards the end of the street, turning around she takes one more look before silently leaving the street and everything else behind, looking as if she had never been there.

Silently appearing in the entrance hall of Gringotts London Branch Sarah walks calmly towards one of the tellers sitting at the front desk waiting for the night time customers to appear, clearing her throat slightly she leans down onto the desk dropping her bottle of Rum letting it splash onto the top before jutting her hip out slightly and moving her package around to a comfortable spot.

Smiling slightly at the murderous expression on the teller goblins face Sarah slurs heavily for her bank account manager before picking her drink up and chugging the rest down letting the empty bottle clank when it hits the top.

Waiting as the enraged goblin talks to another one, she peers at the still sleeping babe, wondering why he hadn't woken up yet, shrugging slightly she holds the child in both arms, cradling him gently she suddenly turns and makes her way towards her accountants office, by passing all the other goblins who were lingering in the halls.

Knocking slightly on the door, Sarah waits until she hears the clear voice of someone telling her to 'Enter' before opening the door. Before she closes it she turns slightly to see the Goblin who had serviced her turn the corner, closing the door softly she smiles as she watches his eyes widen suddenly.

Turning around Sarah walks towards the old looking desk before dropping slightly into one of the seats, making sure her precious cargo is alright she kicks her heels up and waits to be acknowledged. "Sarah" Stonetooth says looking up from his work slightly, to see her comfortable in the chair across from him, despite the fact that those specific chairs were charmed to be as uncomfortable as possible, giving her his full attention when he sees her cradling something slightly Stonetooth can feel a headache coming on.

"What have you done?" are the words Sarah hears lifting her head slightly she looks at him before dropping her head down, humming slightly she stood up and deposited her cargo onto the desk, gesturing to Stonetooth to take a look she takes a step back and sits back in the chair watching as Stonetooth stood and walked silently towards the bundle. Watching as he cursed softly after taking a peek into the basket Sarah lets out a quite laugh throwing her head back and letting her hair fan around her shoulders, stopping slightly she sees Stonetooth glaring at her heatedly, waving his glare away slightly she takes another look at the babe, "He hasn't woken up since I picked him up" she says eyeing the child curiously "and I found a really funny letter within the folds of the blanket", she continues, "but I set it on fire" she says the last part sheepishly shrugging her shoulders and waiting for Stonetooth to say something.

Eyeing the child still asleep, she creeps closer to get a better look, he really was a cute looking child, he was kind of chubby, he had thick black hair with a little button nose, little plump lips and rosy cheeks. Lifting her hand slightly she points her finger at him before moving it closer towards the babe, poking him slightly she gets ready to jump back in case the babe decided to wail loudly, seeing not a twitch she decided to do it again, poking his side a little harder she watches and waits, still seeing nothing she goes to poke him one last time, hearing someone clearing their throat she jumps before turning and facing Stonetooth who stood to the side clearly amused by her childish display. Feeling a blush creep up she quickly turns away from him and makes a move to take another seat. "You said you found a note with him" Stonetooth says gesturing to the child, "What did it say?" he asked before taking a step closer to the child, tilting her head slightly Sarah watches him before answering, "It just said his name was Harry, that his parents had just died, that he was to be taken care of and that they'd be back for him when he was 11" she said turning her head towards the child, "Oh the note was signed by Albus Dumbledore" she hastily added.

"But there is something weird about what he wrote" she continued looking stonetooth in the eye, "He made to put 'alive' and 'breathing' in capitals, he also told them to make sure that the babe would be 'happy' when the save him from his relatives, as if he wanted them to break his spirit so that this Dumbledore person could lift him back up" she finished with a frown on her face.

Hearing him let out a sigh Sarah turns towards him arching a perfectly shaped eyebrow, "Albus Dumbledore" he says with a shake of his head, "He has been the bane of Gringotts existence ever since he rose to power so to say" he said before standing and starting to pace, "He declared that the self-proclaimed Dark Lord Voldemort was defeated on the night of Hallows Eve" Stonetooth said showing his razor sharp teeth as he snarled silently, "He proclaimed that the heir to the Potter fortune would be fine where he was and had the Potter's Will stopped from being read" he said before collapsing in his chair, "Potters?" Sarah asks softly gesturing to the babe.

"Mmm" he mumbles, "apparently the Potter's were attacked and now the child is the sole survivor" he continued
