Petunia had been desperate when she went leafing through Lily's things. She shouldn't have kept them, but she could never throw them out. Hoping to find an address amongst her sister's correspondence that actually had a street number, and despairing that she never would she actually cried in relief when she found one.

Knowing that she had to have Harry gone and be back home with dinner ready by the time Vernon got home from work, she swiftly penned a desperate note to a man she didn't know from Adam and once again put her life in her hands by dropping Dudley off at Mrs. Figgs before racing to catch a train to London.

The apartment complex that she was going to leave Harry at wasn't in the best part of town, but it looked slightly better than Spinners End.

Using a bit of yarn, she tied Harry to the doorknob of the correct apartment and prayed that Lily's friend still lived there as she raced for the bus.

When Remus Lupin got home from work, he was completely exhausted and ill equipped to deal with what he found on his doorstep.

Finding a toddler with a note written on muggle paper safety-pinned to the front of a set of slightly ratty black robes tied to his doorknob had been a rather nasty shock.

It had only been the fact that the child had belonged to the best friend he had ever had that kept him from calling the police and leaving them to deal with it.
