Arabella Figg was sitting in her brand new living room with the Albus Dumbledore sitting on her sofa with Minerva McGonagall beside him. Her cats gently rubbing their faces against Minerva's legs.

"Let me get this straight Arabella. Petunia Dursley has no idea about the whereabouts of her nephew." Dumbledore said

"She won't speak of him headmaster so I don't know if she does or not" Arabella said pouring out tea.

"Arabella I have told you many times to call me Albus." Dumbledore said taking another digestive.

"I'm sorry Albus but I've always been on formal terms with you since I was a young lass"

Dumbledore smiled. Arabella was only five when he graduated from Hogwarts; she always called him Mr Dumbledore. And then when he was accepted as transfiguration teacher, she called him professor and then headmaster.

"I told you Albus" Minerva said "I told you those muggles were no good, they've dumped him in the middle of London most likely."

"Minnie!" Arabella admonished "knowing the Dursleys they have probably left him in an orphanage far away, please stop snapping at the headmaster. I'm sure Harry has been adopted by a nice family"

"Even so Bella, Harry should have been raised by the Weasleys or the Bones not some prejudiced muggle family"

Dumbledore took a small sip of his tea "I shall interview the Dursleys and find Harry. Then I will consider leaving him with the Tonks'. After all Andromeda and Edward are good people and will raise him away from the fame"

"What about the Lupins?" Minerva said nibbling on a ginger nut.

"My dear Minerva, Remus is alone and jobless I don't think –

"You're wrong Albus. Remus has been a muggle primary school teacher since January and he's been married since November."

"Married so quickly after all the trauma his been through? Not a very good idea is it" Dumbledore said

"Remus married his girlfriend of four years. His mate for two years. I was one of the other witnesses"

"And you didn't inform me of this happy occasion?"

"Remus and Nymphadora wanted a low key ceremony. They then went on a search for Black's daughter"

Dumbledore slammed his cup onto the table "Hermione Black was left with her mother's sister Jane for safety"

"Nymphadora is the girl's legal guardian." Minerva snapped "but that is not the case. We are here to find Harry."

Dumbledore sighed. "Yes, forgive me for my outburst Minerva, Arabella." Dumbledore got up and transfigured his blue robes into a smart blue suite he then transfigured Minerva's emerald green robes into a smart skirt and cardigan.

"Albus, I look like a grandma!" Minerva said

"That my dear is the whole point"

"I can't look like a grandma; I'm not even a mother!"

"I will be seeing you soon Arabella. Come along Minerva we have an appointment with the Dursleys."

"But I'm not a grandma" Minerva protested weakly allowing Albus to lead her to the front door.

Number four privet drive, was a small and over the top neat house. Their garden was so neat that Minerva suspected that Mrs Dursley spent all day working on it. Their front door was painted a cheerful blue giving and in their drive way was the latest car.

Minerva sniffed "Petunia seems to be OCD"

Dumbledore smiled "you only met the woman twice, Minerva" he said softly

"And both times I felt like hexing her to oblivion. She was a horrible child and she never grew up, oh the nerve of her. Did you know she insulted my godson on his wedding day?"

"Minerva I was there and I thought James handled it perfectly"

Minerva merely snorted and allowed Albus to knock on the door. The door was answered by a large fat man that reminded Minerva of her old work colleague Horace. However unlike Horace he had the air of a selfish man that thought he was better than anyone else.

"Yes" he snarled

"Mr Dursley I am Albus Dumbledore and this is my colleague Minerva McGonagall. We're here about your nephew"

"Nephew? I have no nephew!" the man snapped

"May I speak to you and your wife away from prying eyes" Dumbledore said using Vernon Dursley's fear of looking bad against him.

"Yeah, come on in" he said roughly allowing them into the house. He showed them into the living room which was covered in pictures of a fat baby boy. Near the window the said fat baby boy was playing in a play pen.

Petunia Dursley entered the room, she took one look at Dumbledore and McGonagall and threw the nearest picture frame at their heads "you disgusting freaks, coming into my home" she snarled

"Mrs Dursley please calm down we are here to discuss your nephew's welfare"

"That little freak? Vernon got rid off him. We couldn't afford having our little Dudykins getting infected by that freakiness"

"Why you little –

"Minerva pleases calm down" Dumbledore said holding Minerva by the shoulders in fear she'll hex the woman.

"What did you do to the boy?" Minerva shouted struggling to get out of Dumbledore's grasp.

"Vernon left him at an orphanage. Coasted us five grand but it means they won't give him back. We promised them another two if they got him adopted. And they did" the woman look disgusted at the idea of giving money to an orphanage.

"Which one Petunia?" Dumbledore said

"I'm not quite sure, you'd have to ask Vernon" the woman said she blinked and then remembered what they were; she instantly threw a vase at them. "Get out!" she snarled

They were now outside of a gloomy orphanage in a busy street not that far from surrey.

"It looks horrible Albus" Minerva whispered

"Minerva dear I have learned a long time ago to never judge a book by its front cover. Now let's find Harry and not worry about the outside" Albus led her to the front door and knocked.

The door was answered by a teenage girl.

"Hello Miss…?"

"Susan, Susan Green." The girl said politely. "We weren't expecting anyone so please don't mind the mess"

"Not to worry Miss Green, we work in a school that's constantly messy" Dumbledore said cheerfully.

The girl smiled "follow me please. Auntie Jan is a bit busy with the five to six year olds." The girl led them down a bright hallway to a large, messy living room where children sat watching the TV.

"Hey kids move over and let this people sit on the sofa while they're waiting for Auntie Jan" Susan said cheerfully

The children on the sofa groaned but moved instantly. Dumbledore and Minerva sat down and the children watched them.

"Excuse me sir" a boy said no older that eight. "Are you a wizard?"

Minerva choked.

"What gave you that idea, my dear boy?" Dumbledore said cheerfully

"You look like Merlin" the boy whispered

Minerva attempted to smother her giggles.

"I am honoured that you thinks so. Now children would you like some lemon drops?"

The children nodded

Dumbledore reached into his pocket and pulled out a large pouch. "Share these with each other."

"Wow how did you fit that in your pocket?" the boy asked

"A magician never reveals his secrets young man"

"Hem, hem"

Dumbledore and Minerva turned to see a plump woman with chestnut brown locks and bright blue eyes. She was smiling down at the children. "You better save those lemon drops for pudding my sugarplums" her voice was loud and booming.

"Yes Auntie Jan" the children chorused

"good." Auntie Jan said she beamed at Dumbledore "Hello, I'm Jan Davidson matron of this orphanage. Are you looking to adopt?"

"Alas no. we're here for a relative of mine that might have been abandoned by their mother" Dumbledore said.

"Oh you mean the little blonde babe? Such a sweetie that girl was, I'm sorry but she's been adopted"

"No I mean Harry Potter, I'm his grandfather and I wish to have custody of him"

Auntie Jan smiled sadly "I'm afraid he's been adopted too. Lovely couple they were, they adopted not only him, but the blonde babe I told you about and another little baby."

"Could you please tell me who adopted him? I just want to see him"

Auntie Jan smiled "well, in that case I can. Strange names they had. But lovely people. Remus and Nymphadora Lupin I believe were their names."
