Baby on a Doorstep: Toddler Harry wonders away
It was nearly one o'clock am on Privet Drive. The street was quite, with all of it's residence asleep. However the newest was beginning to stir, having been asleep since 10 o'clock pm, and having a scary dream, memory, of mommy screaming and the green light. The toddler on the doorstep of Number 4 Privet Drive woke with a startled cry, calling out for "mama" after the bad dream. He looked around himself, sight blurry, tears falling down his cheeks. He didn't see mama or papa anyway. And pa'foo' and moo' weren't there either. He began to cry more now, and began squirming where he lay, trying to get mama or papa's attention to come get him. In the struggle, the letter tucked in the blankets with him came loose, and fell to the step. When he was finally free he sat up, arms raised to the air and grasping hands at the air, still crying for mama and papa. But they still did not come. He began to crawl, and when he reached the edge of the step used it to help him stand, still crying.
Once his feet were under him he began to walk on unsteady feet, wobbling as he went in search of mama and papa. His cries getting louder and more high pitched the longer it took. It was an hour, and half a block when someone finally came out to see what the commotion was. Finding an unknown toddler at nearly 2 o'clock in the morning was not anyway to start a day, and the couple called the police station. Privet Drive was child lightly windy, as the London area tended to be on November nights, and the child was rushed to the nearest hospital, to prevent hypothermia from setting it.
Further down the street, at Number 4, Mrs. Dursley slept on. In the morning, she would hear about how a toddler had been found the night before, and Mrs. Number 6 would mention the baby blanket she had found in the hedges between her and Mrs. Number 8's house. The letter, being lighter and sleeker, had been blown more than three blocks away, and would be discarded as litter by the person that would find it torn and dirty in some bushes a few days later.
