-Part 1-

Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore was a busy wizard. He spent most of his days as the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He also happened to be the Supreme Mugwump and the Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot. Not to mention the frequent letters he received from various magic folk asking for his counsel on all sorts of matters.

After all, the boy had been placed with family and their home warded against evil still present in their world. Minerva McGonagall, acting Deputy Headmistress, Transfiguration Professor, Head of Gryffindor and long-time friend, had cautioned him to keep a close eye on the boy but he knew his judgment was sound. There could be no better place for Harry James Potter than with his blood family.
