Serverus pov
Its summer and I can enjoy my time with out nosey kids watching you all the time. Or I hope. I have no idea why Grandfather wants me to meet him at ten but when do I ever know what he wants. I hope it's not to check on a kid. Everyone seems like they would be fine this summer so what could it be. Surly not my attitude again how many times have we already talked about it. No I'm not changing it. No one gave discipline when I was in school or not good enough anyway. It's good for them. And it's good that they know not everyone is going to be nice and caring to them in the world. Its not that I truly hate them. They are cute and can be smart sometimes but someone has to put their foot down. I have worn my mask long enough it is no longer hard to keep it up at all times. I do take it down in the summer when I'm with my grandfather. After all he already has a problem with it up around others he would be really upset if I had it up all the time. I'm not all lost yet.
Dumbledore pov
I sure hope he won't turn him down just because of James for that matter I hope he doesn't turn him down. I don't like what Hope (a/n Kari Dumbledore will refer to her as that along with anyone else for the wizarding world.) said at all. And Harry needs out but if she's not coming back with us I do not want Harry out in the muggle world with only her for protection. She was wonderful at her job as a hit witch but still not enough. She knows it to or she wouldn't have asked for help. She's only doing it for Harry. Even if I get Serverus to take him she will still have to contact Harry as he'll get attached to her. Oh how I wish I can get Serverus to take him. I do not want to take him as it would be odd to a lot of people. As it was no one knew they were related which was good. It will have to be for Lily as she was his friend through everything. For Lily.
"Come in Serverus." Dumbledore thought here we go.
"Hi Grandfather. How are you?"
"I'm fine. You?"
"I'm good. May we cut to the case? I know it's important or you would be doing good as it's the summer." Serverus wanted to pack to leave.
"Your right it is summer and I would nothing else than to go to the manor with you in a few days to catch up but I do not think that's happening so fast." Blow up time.
"Why not?" No fair I want to go! (a/n: could resist)
"Serverus I have been introduced to a problem."
"What problem?" Problem? Already? Come on don't we get a break too?
"Here read this letter." Dumbledore thought let him read what Hope said and he will it true as I'm sure he remembers her handwriting.
"What are you going to do?" What? Hate Harry? Even I didn't hate him. She didn't say what they did but if she suggested she would take him and never talk to anyone again it must be bad.
"Well my child, I really only have two choices and I believe you know them. Okay possibly three but I don't think I should consider the last one. It's only a last retort."
"Well what are they?"
"They are one I take him; two Hope comes back and stays in the wizarding world with protection and keeps Harry most likely won't happen, and three you take him." The blow up comes.
"Hope would probably never come back. She hates everything wizard anymore. Or the last time I heard. Me? You must really be off your rocker if you think I could take care of him. You really must be."
"no my dear boy, I am not. I do not want to take him and care for him as that will be suspicious. We don't really want that do we? Then Hope as I said probably won't happen. You said so yourself."
"No I won't you can't. won't people ask me about it? I mean yea some people knew James and I were brother but still not a lot."
"So not as bad as having me raise him. I'm not ashamed of any of my family and I would love to go out and say these are my grandchildren alas I can not and you know it. Our family has not shared and I will not either. So your choice we either have you take him or think quickly and find a way to hid him with me. Unless you think it's a better idea for Hope to take him and keep in the muggle world."
"No I do not think she should do that. I do think she should come back but she most likely will not come and stay. She might write to stay in touch with Harry and in a distance way be connected to the wizarding world but she will not have direct contact. But I do not think we can really hide him. To not let him go anywhere unless disguise and have to basically be locked up won't work well. I guess that leave two options I take him or we find someone else to take him who's as powerful as us and protective."
"No. I will not give Harry to someone else. I think not. So that leaves one that I see unless you can find a way to convince Hope to come back."
"We've been through that she will not so I guess that leaves me. How will I continue to work with him?"
"There are other professors along with myself we can keep tabs on him while your in class or busy. And depending on how many students stay during the other holidays we could all possibly go to the manor. More time there!"
"Yes the manor. That would be lovely wouldn't it? I suppose I can do this. Although he probably won't like me and oh he's going to be so much like James isn't he?"
"No my child he will not. Not if what we think because he has had to grow up to faster and when we bring him back he will have to grow up even more we will have to take what's left of his innocents soon maybe not all at once but it will happen before it should."
"Your right. I'm sorry."
"Don't be. Now shall I write a letter to Hope? I told her I would get back to her today."
"Yes you should and then we can have lunch as it's 12 and I'm hungry."
Dear Hope,
I have talked with Serverus and as the only option we see is if he takes Harry. That is if you won't come back with us and stay in the wizarding world. We would love you to but we both have the feeling you won't. Know you are always welcome to come back. We miss you. We await your response.
Love,
Grandpapa
"Is this suitable?" Albus asked Serverus after he wrote the letter.
"Yes it is. But I hope your not trying to get her to come by using childhood names." Serverus gave his grandfather a pointed glare.
"No but it was here favorite. But it might only sadden her. I hope not."
Dumbledore pov
I wonder what she will do when she sees grandpapa. She always love to say that for some reason. But Serverus is right. It will not work on her. She left the wizarding world for a reason and I'm not so sure it wasn't the right reason but not for the rest of her life. I hope she comes back. After all her name is Hope and we do hope on her a lot. But that's her destiny just like Harry has his own. I do fear that Hope will not come back right now. Not even for Harry. Maybe in a few years she will. Maybe after she realizes I'm not CRAZY!
Serverus pov
Grandfather sure has a crazy mind. I'm not so sure he really isn't off his rocker. Grandpapa. We used that when we were little kids. As young as Harry. It won't work. No matter what we wish it would. Although it was sweet. Hopefully she will come back later. But she will not at this time for Harry or anyone. Well that's not true but the one she would come for is not coming anytime soon if he ever does come. Oh why did he break her heart. Maybe he was trying to tell the truth after all he never did get a trail. So maybe it is Fudge's fault. Like most things anymore. Will life ever get better?

Thanks. Was that better?
