Synopsis
Deputy Headmistress Minerva McGonagall sat at her desk at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She was a thin woman, in her mid sixties, and dressed in a green tartan plaid dress. Her dark hair was pulled neatly back into a bun, and her rectangular shaped spectacles sat squarely on her face adding to her serious expression. Parchment and scrolls lay neatly stacked upon her desk, along with two bottles of ink and two quills. In addition to her deputy headmistress duties, she taught transfiguration and served as the Head of Gryffindor House. She was an unerringly tidy and strict woman, who enjoyed teaching and found she had a knack for paperwork even if she did not always care to do it. Over her many years of teaching she had grown fond of several students, and always enjoyed seeing her former Gryffindor students at the school or while out in the wizarding world. Her warm, hazel eyes reviewed the notes before her and added some additional notes at the end. She kept a meticulous schedule, writing in appointments and additional notes to make her often hectic schedule easier. As such, she had begun to notice a troubling trend regarding one particular appointment. She now knew the problem had not just existed for the last several months, but had apparently gone on for years, unnoticed by her, and the thought bothered her greatly.
With a sigh, she carefully dried the ink on her new notes, and then placed the notes to the side of her desk. This September, Harry Potter would beSchool of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As overseeing
the letters sent to each student regarding the
coming year was one of her responsibilities, she
knew that Harry Potter's Hogwarts letter would be
going out soon, and she wondered about how well
the young man was doing at his relatives home.
Albus had dismissed her concerns that day nearly
ten years ago, insisting that they leave young Harry
Potter at his muggle relatives' home. Minerva
had not been impressed with them, and had
questioned Albus over the years as to how Harry
was doing. He always insisted the boy was doing well. Minerva wanted to confirm this for herself. She looked back down at the papers on her desk. Apparently, she had meant to check on young Harry multiple times as reflected by her old calendars and notes, and each time something had prevented her from following through with it. The notes she had reviewed yet again documented her musings about that, and she had finally acknowledged that perhaps Albus had done something to cause that particular reaction. What she did not understand, was why? Why would someone not want her to check in on the child? This time, she intended to follow through on her desire to check on Harry Potter. A knock sounded at her door interrupting her thoughts, and she smiled at her own cunning plan to circumvent whatever it was that prevented her from traveling to Surrey.
"Come in, Septima," she called pleased as the young Arithmancy professor entered the room. Minerva had spoken to her several weeks ago to set this appointment, and was pleased that phase one of her plan was now proceeding.
Hello this is my first fanfic it is the Harry Potter story but different. Hopefully in a good way. Let me know what you think
chapter 1 the news
Vernon Dursley woke up on a dull gray morning nothing strange about the day. He got dressed for work and went down for breakfast. "Good morning dear" he said to his wife Petuina.
"I'm afraid it's not a good morning" Petuina said sadly. She gave him the paper. After a glance at the title he was amazed he thought it would never end.
"Why is this bad news dear" Vernon said barely containing his joy.
"Because...because" when Vernon saw that his wife was on the verge of tears he came to her and held her. Right now it doesn't matter if I'm late Vernon thought. He led her to the sofa and let her cry on han to a while. Sometimes you just need to cry. After 15 minutes Petunia calmed down and said
"The wizarding war is over yes but Lilly and Jarnes were killed." Vernon was shocked he thought they were protected. However Petuina continued" he also tryed to kill Harry but it didn't work he just vanished. After a long shocked silence Vernon managed to say
"What will happen to Harry?"
"Dumbledore will bring him to us we are his only family left"
