Part One
Professor McGonagall was not pleased with the decision the Headmaster had made. These muggles were the worst muggles she had ever seen and the more she saw the angrier she got. This was no place for Harry to be raised.
She kept watch for a few weeks as she laid plays to kidnap the baby boy and place him with someone who would look after him. After a great deal of thought, Professor McGonagall had decided to put Harry Potter in the most unlikely place imaginable.
Professor Severus Snape had just apparated to Diagon Alley when a shabby looking and harassed cat stepped in front of him making him pull up sharply.
"Damn stupid cat. Look where you're walking or next time you'll end up as a potion ingredient!"
The cat hissed at him and clutches its claws in the material of his robe and attempted to drag him to a secluded spot. Severus was not pleased about this delay but went almost willingly when he noticed certain markings on said cat.
"Well, well, well Professor McGonagall. What brings you in your cat form?" Severus almost snarled nastily.
In a flash the animagus was her human self again and seriously rattled. Her hair which was usually kept in a severe bun was hanging lose almost like an untidy ponytail.
"Severus, thank Merlin I've found you! The Headmaster will not listen to me, he believes it's the best place for him, and I completely disagree! You have to help me Severus, you're my only hope!"
The Transfiguration professor was pacing and gesticulation wildly through her entire speech and Severus still had no idea what she was talking about.
"Confound it woman, will you stop pacing and tell me what in Merlin you are raving about!" His pressed his lips together tightly to reign in any other comments that were likely to flee his lips at a moments notice.
"Potter, I'm talking about Harry Potter!"
The Potions Professor took a small step backwards upon hearing the name Potter, his startled look seemed to have frozen on his face and he was left speechless for several minutes.
