Chapter 1: prologue

For years Petunia Dursley had purposely claimed that her sister was a no good woman who had married a drunkard. Then to find their one-year-old spawn lying there in a basket, in front of their doorstep, a letter attached stating that she was to take care of it, was the day that their lives turned upside down. Well that is how they would explain it, at least to anyone who was willing to listen to their sad story.
Oh, how she prattled on to her neighbours claiming that she must be a saint, to put up with such a spoilt and bratty child, that she was afraid of how he would influence her poor saintly Dudley-kins and how the child had begun to bully her son, when it was obviously the other way around. Well let's just say that it worried some of their neighbours and caused more eyes to focus on their house than the Dursley's would have liked. In fact one pair of pale blue eyes had been keenly watching number four Privet Drive since Petunia Dursley's nephew had been dropped off, and these eyes had witnessed quiet a number of upsetting things. Such as the fact that the horse faced woman known as Mrs. Dursley, the sister of Lilly Potter nee Evens, would leave her nephew to cry for several hours at a time; not feed him proper meals, or change him, and on several occasions her husband, Vernon Dursley, had stuffed the child in the closet under the stairs to forget the toddler was even there.
Now you may be wondering how these pair of eyes were able to see all that through the bricks and mortar, and layers of insulation, and how the owner of these eyes went by un-noticed. Well the answer to that is magic.
Though it may not be common knowledge of the reality of magic that it does in fact exist, though very few people have the capability to use it in the first place. And this person watching the Dursley's home did in fact have the capability of using magic, and was using her ability to observe the goings on of the residents. What she was observing was not good, it was obvious that the horrid muggle had no intension of taking care of her nephew and she had only been observing for five days; this spoke volumes about the Dursley couple.
Actions had to be taken; it would not do to have the saviour of the wizarding world being treated so badly, and by his own blood no less. In fact if this were allowed to continue the child would most likely die due to child abuse, or malnutrition.
Decision made, the invisible figure waited till nightfall to make a move, at this time there would be less witnesses and the Dursely's would also be fast asleep, the poor toddler known as Harry Potter left in the closet under the stares to spend the night. Though it was a horrid this, it made getting the child easier as she wouldn't have to sneak upstairs, which was time consuming and risked creating more noise, this made her task much, much easier.
