Harry's Aunty
Disclaimer: Everything you recognize belongs to
someone and everything you don't recognize belongs to me.
A/N: Basically Harry finds out he has an aunt that he
never knew about, so basically the title.
As Harry walked up the stairs to his dormitory, he
thought about the conversation he had been having with Professor McGonagall.
The fact that she had just revealed to him that she was his aunt; he couldn't
get his head around it. If his aunt was still alive then why had he been sent
to live with the Dursley's? Why couldn't McGonagall have looked after him
instead of sending him to live with the Dursley's? When Harry finally got to
sleep he dreamt about what it would have been like to live with McGonagall and
not the Dursley's.
On the other side of the castle Dumbledore and
McGonagall were having a quiet argument over Harry.
"Why can't he come and live with me?" McGonagall was
shouting.
"You know perfectly well why Minerva. He is safer
living with his aunt and uncle," Dumbledore told her.
"I know, but I could look after him, he'd be
perfectly safe and he would be a lot happier, and he wouldn't have to live with
those muggles." McGonagall shouted at him in an exasperated voice. Dumbledore
looked at her with his blue eyes, as if considering his answer.
"If I said yes, we would have to ask Harry what he
wanted to do, and you would have to explain to him why he was sent to live with
his aunt and uncle" McGonagall shook her head with a smile spreading across her
face.
"Does that mean yes?" she asked with excitement in
her voice. Dumbledore shook his head, and McGonagall immediately threw her arms
around his neck.
"Thank you, thank you so much." She said over and
over again.
"I have to ask Harry first, and he will need to go to
his aunt and uncle's first to pick up any of his stuff and say good-bye," he
explained to her. McGonagall gave him another quick hug and ran back to her
room.
The next day Harry walked into the Great Hall behind
Ron and Hermione, he hadn't told them about the revelation McGonagall had told
him, or the fact that he had another aunt.
"Are you alright Harry you look tired," Hermione
asked in a concerned voice.
"Yeah I'm fine I just ended up going to bed late, and
I didn't sleep to well," Harry told her. Hermione nodded here head, and the
three of them set of to their transfiguration lesson. Harry walked into the
room and went straight to the back of the room where he wouldn't have to look
Professor McGonagall in the eyes. He still hadn't got over the initial shock of
what she had told him.
"Are you sure you're all right Harry," Ron asked him
with concern. Harry looked at him and nodded his head. Ron turned away to face
Hermione and they began to talk in whispers, so that Harry couldn't hear.
"Do you think his alright," Hermione asked in a
hushed voice.
"I don't know, but he seems to be in his own little
world," Ron replied.
"You don't think his worried about You-Know-Who,"
Hermione asked again.
"Probably, who wouldn't be though," Ron told her.
Hermione nodded her head and was about to say something to Ron when Professor
McGonagall walked in and placed her books on the desk.
Half way through the lesson Dennis Creevy came in and
told McGonagall that Professor Dumbledore wanted to see Harry in his office.
"Go on then Potter," McGonagall told him. Harry
grabbed his bag and walked out the classroom while McGonagall carried on
explaining. As Harry walked to Dumbledore's office, he was wondering what
Dumbledore wanted, maybe it was some news about Voldemort, or maybe he was in
trouble, but he wasn't sure what he'd done so he was quite certain it had
something to do with Voldemort. By the time he had decided he had reached the
goblin.
"Butterbeer" he said, and the goblin jumped out of
the way. He slowly walked up the stairs dreading what he would be told. He
knocked on the door.
"Come in Harry" came the voice of Dumbledore from the
other side of the door. Harry opened the door and Dumbledore indicated to him
to sit down.
"Now Harry, I hear from Professor McGonagall that she
has told you about being your aunt, am I right?" Dumbledore asked politely.
Harry nodded his head to his question. "Well Professor McGonagall and I had
words last night after she had told you about her being your dads sister."
Dumbledore told Harry, he was about to continue, but Harry interrupted.
"Why was I sent to live with the Dursley's and not
Professor McGonagall?" Dumbledore studied Harry carefully.
"You were sent to live with your aunt and uncle, because
they were muggles and many spells were placed around their house to keep you
safe. Professor McGonagall was with me when we dropped you off, the amount of
protesting, I didn't have a rest from her for months. She came and sat on the
wall quite a bit to check they were treating you o.k." Harry looked astonished.
" Yes she was extremely worried about you." Dumbledore told him. Harry couldn't
believe what he was being told. "Anyway back to the point of this conversation
Professor McGonagall visited me last night, and she told me that she wanted you
to go and live with her." Harry's mouth opened with shock. "Now the decision is
completely up to you, she won't mind if you would prefer to live with your aunt
and uncle." Dumbledore told him.
"No, if I went and lived with Professor McGonagall
would that mean I would leave the Dursley's for good." Dumbledore nodded his
head.
"Yes you would leave them for good, but you would
have to go to their house from the train station and Professor McGonagall would
pick you up from their house." Dumbledore explained to Harry. Harry's face now
had a massive grin on his face.
"Yes, Yes I would like to live with Professor
McGonagall, do you think Sirius will mind?" Harry asked.
"No I doubt he'd mind, as you'd be safe with Professor
McGonagall and he'd definitely visit. So I take it that you will be happy going
to live with Professor McGonagall?" Harry nodded his head. "Well I will tell
her, I'm sure you'll want to ask her some questions, but I think you should go
back to class, but as there's only five minutes left you may as well go to your
next lesson. Oh and Harry don't tell anyone yet" Dumbledore told him. Harry
nodded his head and walked out the door.
