Chapter 2
Mrs. Bradshaw woke up, feeling very uncomfortable. She looked around groggily and realized that she was in the Living room sitting on a chair and there was a little boy in her lap. "Of course" she thought, "I remember, the poor kid was crying so I put him on my lap, I must have fallen asleep. The little boy had been waking up suddenly all night, seemingly having nightmares. Again she wondered if his parents were looking for him. Then she remembered the effect the word mom had on the boy. "Oh poor thing, maybe something happened to them. At any rate she had to do something with the little boy, as much as she wanted to keep him she at least had to make sure no one was looking for him. She sighed and brushed the raven bangs out of the little boys closed eyes. "What a cute kid" she thought looking very fondly at the small boy. Suddenly the he stirred, looking around him with a scared bewildered look on his face, his emerald eyes wide, looking wildly around him, his face such an image of innocence. Mrs. Bradshaw's heart practically melted at that look. She decided then and there to keep the child if he didn't have any parents, he was just sooo cute and helpless. Harry saw Mrs. Bradshaw then and his face relaxed into the first smile she had seen on his little face. She smiled back and led him into the kitchen. Once there she prepared a breakfast for herself and gave the boy some cheerios and juice in a sippy cup. Since she didn't have a highchair she set the boy in her lap and watched him eat. After they were both done she decided to take the boy down to the police station. There she would ask if there were any lost reports or if they knew who's kid this was. "If they don't then he will have to stay with me at least one more day." She thought. The police station was just a couple blocks away so she decided to walk.

After walking a block she saw the Dursley's house. Mrs. Figg, her neighbor was standing there trying to talk calmly to furious Mrs.Dursley and Mr Durlsey who were both yelling at the top of their lungs. Mrs.Figg looked very aggravated and a little scared, no doubt because Mr. Dursley looked like he was about to kill her. Mrs. Bradshaw hated the Dursleys and tried to hurry by without being noticed, but to no anvil. Mrs. Figg caught sight of her immediately and looked very relieved. She muttered something to Mrs. Dursley, who quieted down and stared hatefully towards the little boy. Mrs. Figg ignored her though and smiled charmingly at Mrs. Bradshaw and the boy. "Hello", she said to Mrs. Bradshaw, "how are you today?" Mrs. Bradshaw answered respectfully back then made to start walking again. Mr. Dursley stopped her however by saying in a horrible, murderous voice "that pathetic thing is supposed to be my nephew?!!" "Why look at him, he's so little and messy looking!" Harry shied away from the man, hiding behind Mrs. Bradshaw. Mrs. Bradshaw's temper flared up suddenly. She had always hated the Dursleys but picking on the poor kid, especially if he was his nephew was awful. She started yelling at him before she knew what she was saying. The Dursleys looked stunned, the little old lady was talking worse then a sailor!
Mrs. Figg though looked, if anything pleased "see, she thought to herself, "I knew she was strong-willed and they utterly deserve it also." Mrs. Bradshaw finally managed to control herself and stopped the string of cuss words threatening to explode again. Mrs. Figg was the first one to talk, "well, she said, Thank you Mrs. Bradshaw, I'm afraid I was about to explode also 'probably would have been lots worse she thought, considering I'm a witch' "but as you have heard this boy you have is the Dursleys nephew and has to go to them." Mrs. Bradshaw stared at her, horrified. "Surely she thought, "She couldn't let Harry go with those people. He will be miserable!" She said out loud, "well I suppose that is the law but they don't seem very happy about taking him." "No we most certainly are not!" Screamed Mr. Dursley "and furthermore, we will not!" Mrs. Figg looked desperate now. "Please, she pleaded, "He has no one else to look after him, no relatives. Still the Dursleys didn't give in. Mrs. Bradshaw hung to the only hope she had in keeping the boy, "Mrs. Fig", she said as calmly as she could, the Dursleys obviously don't want the boy, but I would be willing to take him." "I took care of him last night and he was fine."
Mrs. Figg seemed almost to give in, but then seemed to change her mind. "No, she said "as much as I want you to take Harry instead of them, and I know you could, I can't let you, I know that sounds rude, but please I have my reasons." Mrs. Bradshaw looked sad, but finally gave in for the time being. Then Mrs. Fig took Mrs. Dursley a little ways away and whispered something seemingly threatening in Mrs. Dursleys ear. When she came back Mrs. Dursley said quietly, "we will take him." Then she grabbed the boy roughly by the arm and pulled him inside. The boy looked back at the 2 ladies in an almost pleading way. Mrs. Bradshaw looked sadly back at the boy. She turned to Mrs. Fig, "can I at least see the boy sometimes.?" Mrs. Fig smiled at her and said "of course, in fact if you want to you could baby-sit for him. Mrs. Bradshaw smiled back, "that would be fine." She said and started to walk away, then turned, as if remembering something. "oh yes. She said "and I never heard, what is the boys name?" Mrs. Figg smiled almost proudly "Harry, she said, "Harry Potter...

A/N: Ok, was that chapter to boring? I tried to make it somewhat interesting but it was hard. Please tell me what you think about it, I really do want to know. Personally I think this chapter was worse than the 1st one but I think the next chapter will be better. I know it seems kind of like the book right now since Harry is still living with the Dursleys but it will be different soon. Thank you to all those people who reviewed, they were very nice. And all you people who didn't review, Please do this time, it only takes a minute and it really does give me lots of motivation to get this out faster. I still want to know if you want this to only be about 1st year or should it be about all the years? Please tell me! Thanks! R&R! Oh and yes I know it was short, I had to write it quickly, I will try to make the next chpt. Longer!
