Chapter 5 Dumbledore Chapter
October 31st 1981
It was a dark cool evening and a lone man stood on the dark street known as Privet Drive. The man had a long gray/white beard and dark purple robes, he also had an outlandish hat to match. He stood impatiently on the street awaiting his late companion, tapping his foot in aggravation. "Where is that damn cat woman?" he wondered aloud.
Just after he'd said a word a cat jumped out of the bushes and transformed into a pinch faced woman with a very tight bun. "ah Minerva, a pleasure to see you" the man said faking a smile.
"not very nice on this night I'm afraid, Albus" Minerva replied solemnly. Albus shook his head sadly.
"I'm afraid that your right Minerva, any night that we lose two of our own is not a good one" Minerva nodded and the two headed towards a house on the road marked number 4. Minerva looked at the house intently from the street side.
"Do we really have to leave him here Albus? These muggles are the worst kind" Minerva glanced at Albus pleadingly.
"I'm afraid so, it's for his own safety" Albus said aloud but inwardly thought "and to make him a perfectly willing tool by the time I get him" further thoughts on Albus' part were interrupted when a sputtering sound came from a sky and a large dark mass on a motorcycle came to a screeching stop on the street. "bumbling fool" Albus thought.
"Hagrid! Must you always make so much noise?" Minerva seethed.
"Sorry Professor McGonagall! This bike must not just be used to me, you see I borrowed it from young Seri-"
"Enough rambling Hagrid, do you have the boy?" Albus asked anxiously.
"'Course I do Professor Dumbledore!" Hagrid pulled a bundle from under his jacket. "The little tyke fell asleep just as we were flying over Surrey" Dumbledore grabbed the child from Hagrid and walked quickly over towards number 4 Privet Drive's doorstep when the babe in his arms opened it's eyes and looked at him. It had the deepest emerald green eyes that he'd ever seen, but it looked at him with such malice for a 1 year old.
"ah you're a smart one" Dumbledore said mainly to himself, McGonagall ran him to him holding a basket in her arms and presented it to him. He placed the babe who still looked at him angrily into the basket, withdrew a note from inside his cloak and placed it into the basket, he then placed the basket onto the doorstep. The warmth of the covers soon caused the babe to fall back asleep.
The duo on the doorstep took one last look at the babe in the basket and turned and left the house's yard and went back into the street. Once there Hagrid looked at the both of them, nodded to each of them and then got on the bike and left via the air. McGonagall looked at him, repeated the same motion as Hagrid, Turned into a cat, and then leapt into the bushes.
Dumbledore took out his Deluminator and started whistling as he headed down the street, thinking on how his plan was falling exactly into place.
October 10th 1986(day Harry ran away)
Today was a quiet day for Albus Percival Dumbledore, there had been no incidents with any students all day, it was a first! He walked into his office after having returned from an uneventful dinner in the great hall, he walked slowly over to his desk and plopped down in his chair. Everything was going as planned and he just needed to sit down and prepare for that faithful day to come five years from now.
Dumbledore looked over at his phoenix Fawkes who gazed back at him and trilled a happy tune. He smiled warmly at the phoenix, "yes today is going to be a good day" he thought. His silent staring at his bird was interrupted when he heard the sharp knock of Severus Snape at his door. Dumbledore glanced at his door and then spoke.
"you may come in Severus" An anxious looking Severus Snape came into his office and nervously took a seat. He warily looked up at Dumbledore and opened his mouth if to say something but then he quickly closed it and looked away.
Dumbledore pondered, this behavior was odd for Severus he was usually calm and collected, "he must know something" Dumbledore determined. He then offered Snape a Veritaserum laced lemon drop which Snape quickly declined.
"So, Severus, what is it that you have come to my office for?"Dumbledore asked.
"well sir… it's just…" Severus started but then trailed off awkwardly.
"it's ok Severus, you can tell me anything" Dumbledore heartily assured him.
"it's just, you know how today you sent me to check on Potter?" Snape asked warily. Dumbledore nodded.
"yes I remember, it's been a while since we've checked on him, so I sent you to see if he's ok" "and thoroughly miserable" Dumbledore added at the end in his head.
"well I went there as you asked and when I arrived the place was abandoned" Dumbledore shot out of his chair and glowered and Snape who kept a relatively calm face.
"WHAT! What do you mean abandoned?" he yelled at Severus.
"Abandoned as in there was no one on the premises at all, it was empty, no one home" by now Severus had regained his composure and had put his emotionless mask in place.
"Are you sure that Harry wasn't there? Maybe in a side bedroom, in the basement, or maybe even a closet?" Dumbledore insisted.
Something in the headmaster's word's had clicked inside of Severus, he replayed what it was that the headmaster had said and then he realized, "the closet!" Dumbledore had specifically mentioned it. It was now Severus' turn to jump to his feet.
"You knew that he lived in a closet!" Severus yelled at the headmaster "You knew that his relatives abused him and locked him in a closet all day! How about the blood! Did you know about that!" Dumbledore's face had a mask of calm in place and there was a small smile on his face.
"why, Severus, I didn't know you cared about Harry" Severus was in full rage mode now.
"Not care? What I don't care about is that he's that buffoon James Potter's son! He's Lily's son too! Besides, no child should have to suffer what he's been through all of these years! So you know what? I do care about him! At least a hell of a lot more than you do!" Severus huffed , turned around, and stormed out of the headmaster's office.
Dumbledore stared after him as he left, "well that was quite interesting" he thought. He then turned his attention to the problem at hand, Harry Potter was missing, without a trace, and he now had no way of ever returning the people's faith in the light side. "Wait a second!" suddenly an idea formed in his head "Neville Longbottom! Yes he's perfect! He was born around the same time as Harry so no one will care either way! He can take on the mantle of the boy who lived and everyone will once again have faith in the triumph of the light over the dark!" Dumbledore laughed gleefully at his idea and then quickly apparated to Neville's grandmother's house to inform Neville's Grandmother of the news of her grandson's sudden status in the wizarding world.
June 8th 1995(day Obsidian met Voldemort)
Dumbledore sat in the great hall watching two of his teachers bicker back and forth between one another. They were his Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Sirius Black, and his Transfiguration teacher Minerva McGonagall, they were debating about whether some spell used for controlling a broom was considered light or dark, The conversation itself was complete nonsense so the headmaster just tuned it out.
He occupied himself with thinking of the wizards and witches who had sat in this dining hall, the founders, he himself as a student, the many teachers of Hogwarts, the Dark Lord, the many famous students of Hogwarts, and lastly who could forget the famous boy who lived?
Dumbledore had made it his job to "guide" Neville down the right path, leading him to selflessly put himself in the face of danger for others, giving him a sort of hero complex, all so that in a few years he may defeat the dark lord or offer a diversion so that he himself could kill Tom. His pawn had been doing well over the past few years, not as well as Harry Potter would have done, but still so far his life was an achievement.
Longbottom had destroyed the Philosophers stone so that one of Voldemort's followers couldn't get it, he had killed a Basilisk, gotten all of the charges dropped on Sirius Black, and had this past year won the TriWizard tournament. Even though Neville had done all of these great things Dumbledore's thoughts sometimes travelled to the subject of Harry.
He wondered occasionally what it would have been like if Harry was still his weapon and not Longbottom. Harry had so much promise but somehow he had disappeared off the face of the earth, without anyone knowing.
Dumbledore sighed, he had had to bribe the sorting hat to put Longbottom in Gryffindor, it had insisted that he be put in Hufflepuff, but Dumbledore would not have the wizarding worlds golden boy be a Hufflepuff!
Dumbledore slowly wandered the halls of Hogwarts, empty save for the occasional ghost. He kept walking deep into the night, wondering what surprises Neville Longbottom would bring this school year. He continued walking until he saw the light of day from outside a window, only then did he return to his office, humming a haunting tune all the while.
AN: I am not fond of Dumbledore if it's not obvious already, so this chapter is not too long because of my hatred for him.
BTW: I won't post another chapter until I have 30 reviews or above!(yeah I'm kind of becoming a review whore, but that's only because I don't know if this story is being appreciated unless you guys review!) also don't forget to check out my new story Serpensortia!...it's not very popular…but if some of you guys check it out maybe it will be!...hopefully….
