Well, this is my interpretation of the genealogy of Harry Potter. One fans thoughts on how it could have come to pass.

Chapter 2: The Legacy Begins

Harry Potter a wizard like no other was the Dursley's house waiting for his seventh and final year at Hogwarts to begin. His time was spent divided between his chores and doing his summer homework.

Meanwhile, Aunt Petunia had been called down to the bank to look over some papers. Uncle Vernon was at his company worrying about drills and knew nothing about this banking, was not worried. Dudley, or as he is known as the Big D was spending time trying to locate someone to beat up with his friends.

Petunia Dursley arrived at the bank and was whisked away to a private office. In this office was a goblin and three wizards waiting to speak to her. She was very confused and scared as she had had no previous experience with Gringott's Bank or Goblins.

Fortunately for Petunia the one muggle bank manager was the only one speaking to her this afternoon. Mr. Swimmer introduced Griphook from Gringott's Bank, Mr. Arthur Bodesley, Mr. Robert Sweatwater and Professor Minerva McGonagall.

During this meeting very little was said to her except to take these envelopes home and heed what they contain. Have each person open them in private, as the messages inside are different and private to each of them.

So Petunia went home and waited until everyone had dinner that night. Then with a little fear in her, she presented the envelopes and ask that they go somewhere private to read them.


Aunt Petunia stayed in the kitchen and opened hers as the others left the room.

Dear Petunia

Please understand this envelope could not have been placed in the muggle mail. We had to use these security measures to make sure you got the envelopes and not Vernon.

You are to take your family to the old Evans family mansion as soon as possible. Taking with you all of your possessions. The house on Privet Drive will be destroyed before dawn.

Do not worry about Harry, he will be moving to Hogwarts tonight.

Since you have read this – you have been hexed. You must leave as soon as possible for the Evan's family mansion. If you don't remember the address – call the bank managers office you should have his card.

It has been determined that your house on Privet Drive is no longer safe for you and your family.

With Love,

Lilly & James Potter


Vernon Dursley took his letter to the living room and opened the envelope.

Your family will soon have a chance to be rid of our baby. Harry is going back to school and you and your family will be going to the Evans Family Mansion. Petunia will know where or know how to find it.

Take everything you want from the house on Privet Drive – the house will be demolished before dawn.

Dudley took his letter to the park and opened the envelope.

Dear Dudley (Or is it Duddles?)

While we have never met, we would have loved too. As you are Vernon's son, we just want to say "We hope you aren't a fighter."

We are Aurors and we do fight (though not often with fists.) An Auror is the magical community's equivalent of a Policeman. Harry will begin training soon to become one of us. It is his destiny to join the Potter family business.

While Harry has made your father mad at him for various things, he is also the person that bought the house for your family. The year you were born, your grandparents died and each of you were left some money. Your Dad hadn't finished paying off your house. When Harry came to live with you, your family was on the verge of being evicted. The payment was to help you and your families have a great life.

We are very sorry for forcing Harry into your life. Normally magickal kids do not live well in a non-magickal home. We would like to thank you for any kindnesses you have shown to Harry over the years.

You must now go and pack your things. Yes, you are in danger and must move to a safer home – one that the magickal community will not disturb you on. It is the Evan's Family Mansion.

Ah, as to Harry – he will be moving to his school this evening.

Hurry and remember, the house will be gone by dawn.

Sincerely,

Aunt Lilly and Uncle James

Dudley stared at the letter and started to cry and ran home.
