Chapter 1 The Godfather
Remus Lupin was sitting in his study tired and exhausted. It was nowhere near his time of the month, the full moon was at least two weeks away. For the last 3 1/2 years he has been doing anything and everything he could think of to find a loophole so he could adopt his five year old Godson Harry Potter. ( His beloved Godson was placed in the care of his mother's magic hating horrible muggle sister) Remus was just about to get up to make himself a cup of tea and take a break from the book he was reading on french law. Finally he found what he was looking for, unlike like British law in the wizarding world in France a werewolf can adopt and have a family of they own. With his new found energy Remus ran to his fireplace and flood to his former Headmasters office.
A few seconds later Remus walked out of the fireplace in the office of his former Headmaster office Albus Dumbledore. Albus looked up from what he was reading to find a very excited former student of his desk. Remus stepped up to the headmaster's desk and said I figured out how to adopt Harry. Albus stood up from his chair walked around his desk to stand by Remus, then Remus told the headmaster his plan.
20 mins later Remus explained his plan to Dumbledore that he can move to France and with James potters will, he can adopt Harry free and clear. After Remus finished speaking, Albus looked at him with amazement then spoke. I have three questions and one favor to ask. Remus looked at Albus and said I will answer your questions and may do your favor , but nothing you say or do will stop me from adopting Harry. Albus looked at him with the most caring eyes and said understood.
Remus then said with a smile said ask away, Albus said
1. Where will you live?
2. Where will Harry stay during your time of the month?
3. How will you financial support you guys?
Those are all fair questions Remus said,
1. We can stay with my Mom till I find a place, she has more than enough space.
2. He can stay with my Mom during my time of the month.
3. When James and Lily died they left me a considerably amount of money to me because they know how hard it is for me to find jobs, it was stated in James will.
Good now on to that favor. All I ask is for you to take time to get to know young Mr Potter before you adopt him and take him away from the only family he has ever known. That's fair Remus said, but how do you expect me to do that and for how long, you know how Lily's sister is about our kind.
The headmaster said I can arrange for you to stay with our mutual friend Miss Figg. She lives across the street from Harry and babysits Harry at least a couple times a week. At least two months I think is fair. Remus said ok, but not any longer I have been out of Harry's life far too long already.
