A/N: Just so everyone knows I'm making it so that Marge visited late June instead of late July so there will be some things happening earlier and such.

"It seems we have an issue." Three people were gathered in a small office space, two of which had been summoned from their personal duties with an urgent Patronus.

"What now, Albus? I was in the middle of drawing up a list of books for the next school year. Which reminds me, Severus? I need you to send me your book selections for the students; you're the last one I need besides our Defense teacher, whoever Albus has chosen for that position."

Before the Potions Master could respond, the Headmaster cleared his throat. "I am waiting to hear back from someone for that position, Minerva, but that is not what I summoned the two of you for. Harry Potter is no longer at his relatives."

"What!" Minerva was out of her seat with a shout. "Was it Black? How did he get there so fast?!"

"That idiot boy, he was have gone chasing after Black, I've told you numerous times that you must keep a lock on that boy."

Albus raised his hand, cutting off the incessant rambling of the two as they yelled about what had happened. "Neither of those is correct. There was an incident with Harry's Aunt on his Uncle's side; it seems the two got into an argument, and Harry… Blew her up."

"Blew…"

"… Her up?" The two teachers mirrored each other.

"Like a balloon." Albus mimed the expansion with his hands, "The Ministry has already been through the neighborhood, making sure to Obliviate anyone who witnessed the event. No one was injured, but Harry has run away from his Relatives in fear of retaliation."

Severus scoffed, "Maybe if the boy actually faced some kind of punishment for once in his life, he wouldn't be such a dunderhead."

"Severus, mind your tongue when discussing students in such a manner; you should be ashamed holding a grudge with a child."

"Enough. Harry is currently staying at the Leaky Cauldron; however, alternative accommodations must be made for the boy."

"Just send him to the Weasley's; I'm sure the brat will be ecstatic to be fawned over for the rest of the summer."

"If only it were that easy," Albus sighed, "Not only are the Weasley's in Egypt right now, but with Sirius Black on the loose, I fear that the family would be put in danger should Black find out where he is staying."

"Then what do you suggest, Albus? What about the Granger's?"

"In France, for the next several weeks at that."

"I'm sure the Ministry could find an Auror to look after the brat."

Albus removed his glasses and began rubbing the bridge of his nose. "And do what, when Black arrives? For the first time since Azkaban was taken by the Ministry, a man has escaped. Even Voldemort would be hard-pressed to escape."

Severus winced at the name of the Dark Lord as Minerva pressed, "But he would still be weak. 12 years in Azkaban would surely have weakened him."

"I refuse to take the chance of Sirus gathering forces under his Lord's banner. Even Severus has informed me of whispers from the dark. Unless Harry was kept in the center of the Ministry under constant guard or protected here in Hogwarts, there are few places to keep him."

"Well, what do you suggest we do, Albus? I'm sure Harry would be able to stay in the Castle, I-"

"Absolutely not! What makes you think the rest of the Teachers or I would want to watch over that brat all Holiday? He gets in enough trouble during the School year; he'll bring the whole Castle down around our ears if left alone to 5 minutes. Most likely less!"

"Now, now Severus, I have already found a place for the boy to stay. Hopefully, I hear a favorable reply from them soon."

"Then what are we doing here, Albus?" Minerva asked.

"Well, it is as you said, my dear. Hogwarts is the safest place for the boy, at least until we find a better solution."

"Albus!"

"Severus, I'm sure you will be able to get along with young Harry. He should only be here a week at most. Truly I feel you can set aside at least some time to watch over the boy in shifts with the other Teachers wh here during the Summer. Filius will be back in four days, and I'm sure Hagrid would love nothing more than to watch over the child."

"I-"

"Yes, I believe this is a fine solution, do you not agree?"

"I'm not allowed to say no, am I?"

"We all have a choice, Severus."
