The woman sighed loudly as slammed the door behind her. Oh you should have seen the orphanage. It was horrendous. Paint was pealing off the walls. The floors were covered in urine, poop and mouse droppings. The lights throughout the whole orphanage were very dim. It was a struggle to see. The curtains remained closed even during the most bright and sunny days of the year. There was an awful stench, something seemed rotting or decaying, but what could it have been? The woman carried Harry into a loud crying dark room full of infants and toddlers. She threw Harry into an empty crib and turned and walked away, not looking back. These poor children only ever wanted was to be held and loved. But unfortunately the woman had things on her mind. The state paid her double the amount for infants and toddlers as they needed full time dependent care, whilst the children and teenagers were pretty much independent.

"Shut up, you crying turds of man kind! You are here cause your mommies and daddies didn't want you anymore. You belong to the state and the state give me some good money" said the woman as she slammed the door to the room to a close.

Harry didn't understand what was going on. He knew he was in a new surrounding with unfamiliar noises and smells, and especially the loud cries of other babies and toddlers that were either left her from their unwanted parents or were abandoned on the streets. The woman walked to her office and sat in her chair. It seemed as if the nasty smells didn't bother her. She knew what she was doing but didn't give a shit about the children. She was just money hungry of the orphan's state care payment each month. She never bought a single toy or stuffed animal for the children or toddlers. She decided to keep the money for herself and to only pamper her.

Four years later...

Severus was chilling in the headmaster's office and his mind was wandering to the night of Lily's death. He has been thinking of Harry ever since then and can't help but wonder if he is alright or not.

"Something on your mind Severus?" asked Dumbledore as he raised an eyebrow.

"Yes there is. I keep thinking of Lily's son, Harry. Is he living with his aunt and uncle?" asked Severus.

"I didn't think it was a good idea for him to live there, so I decided to take him to an orphanage instead." said Dumbledore as he looked at Severus.

"You did what? Why the fuck would you do that? That should only be done when there is no other relative to look after the child. Your such an idiot!" said Severus in an angry tone.

"If it helps here is the address you can find Harry at. I think he is a few years older by now." said Dumbledore as he handed Severus a note.

"Sunshine Smiles Orphanage, promising a brighter future for our little one. We are located at 1538 Poorman's Drive." said Severus as he read out loud.

"I am not so sure what the hell you are so worked up about." said Dumbledore as he got up from his seat.

"I decided to raise Lily's child, not for me but for Lily." said Severus.

"Still have love for a woman who's dead eh?" said Dumbledore.

"Shut up. I don't want to talk about it okay?" said Severus.

Severus folded the envelop and stuck it in his pocket. He then apparates to the orphanage. Severus couldn't believe what he saw what the orphanage looked like. it was beaten down and needed a lot of maintenance work. He walked up the steps to the front door of the orphanage and knocked loudly. A woman appeared as she opened the door.

"Yes?" she said with a snotty attitude.

Severus was quite shocked with the woman's attitude but shook it off.

"Hi I am looking for a little boy who's name is Harry." said Severus.

"Ah, um are you adopting?" asked the woman.

Severus knew what Lily would have wanted so he had to lie to the woman. Boy was this going to be a challenge for him to deal with.

"Yes." said Severus as he was about to walk into the orphanage.

"Actually, wait here I will bring him out for you." said the woman. She knew if someone seen what the orphanage looked like she would lose her job and be living on the streets. She brings Harry out. Severus looks at Harry with a surprised look.

"Is this Harry?" asked Severus.

'Yes." said the woman.

"Um thanks. Bye." said Severus.

Harry was quite thin, he look malnourished and had scabs on his hands. Harry kept biting his fingers. Severus knew this wasn't the Harry he saw in the crib that unfaithful night.
