OMG! thanks for the reviews and follows. Anyway enjoy the new chap.
ch 3
Minerva Mcgonagall was having a cup of Earl grey tea when her fireplace flared. "Minerva , I need to speak with you about one of your lions." came Severus' voice. Minerva sighed.
"Come through Severus." she said. When he stepped through she gave him a stern look.
"Who do I have to comfort now,how many points did you take?" she asked.
"None. It is something to do with Potter." he started handing her a file before he wandessly cast a Silencing spell and sat down in front of her waiting for the explosion. For several minutes he waited before Minerva closed the file and gently on her desk and Severus saw silent tears running down her face.
" I told Albus that those were the worst muggles." she said. Severus nodded.
"I remember, Poppy showed Albus that same file but Albus has insisted Potter returns." he said. He didn't expected her to stand suddenly knocking over her chair and heading for her door. He could feel the power rolling off of her as she walked toward the Headmaster's office. he managed to catch up with her at the gargoyle.
"Move now, I have no paience to figure out what insane sweet that fool has come up with for the password or would you like to be a little figureine." she said. The gargoyle moved fast as they went up to Albus door. The door blasted open as Minerva shouted his name. "ALUBUS WOLFERIC BRAIN DUMBLEDORE! Are you completely out of your mind! THAT sweet boy should not return to those-those- those miserable creatures!" she said. Albus looked at her in shocked before he smiled at her sadly.
"Minnie my dear-"
"Don't 'Minnie' me Albus. How could you send Lily's child back there after you found out what their doing to the boy. The boy needs protection from those vile monsters and not just the Death Eaters. If you send that boy back there i swear on my magic I will remove you from this Earth." she said.
"Minerva, I have no choice but to send the boy back. He has no family other than them, the ministry wil take him for publicity. If someone could come forward to take the boy who generally cares for him not for the spotlight I will gladly remove him." Albus said. " I would do it myself but with my old age but i dont know how to care for a child that has gone through something like this." he said.
"I will take him." Severus said. "but it will require me to quit my other 'duty'" he added. Albus looked at him and smiled.
"Of course you can take him but I'm afraid you can't. I have another suggestion. Get a second guardian one who you trust that can watch Harry in case you have to return to your other 'duty' plus you have to tell the boy your role not all of it just some if you wish. " he said.
"So it is up to me to tell him my role in the demise of his parents?" he asked Albus nodded.
"Before I choose the second can the boy spend some time with the two I have in mind?" he asked. Albus nodded in agreement.
"That is fine my boy, There is just one thing though. You have to get the Dursleys to sign over their rights to the boy. " He said handing Severus a small stack of papers.
"May I dish a little justice on the behalf of Mr. Potter for their treatment?" He asked with a gleam in his eye.
" Just as long as I don't have to visit the one I consider a son in Azkaban ." He said. Severus nodded and started for the door.
"Severus I would like to accompany you if you don't mind?" Asked Minerva. Severus nodded then turned back to Dumbledore.
"We will be back by dinner, Headmaster." he said as he opened the door for Minerva then followed behind her. Albus leaned back in his chair before popping a lemon drop.
"Yes the boy will be safe with you my son." he said softly.
