Naira had a very busy week. She was about to do something that would shock everyone. She was going to adopt Harry Potter. First she went to Gringots to obtain adoption release papers. Then she headed to the Dursley house. She knocked. Petunia opened the door.
"Hello?"
"Hi, I would like to talk to you about your nephew."
"Oh, yes, I know he's strange! We try to keep him under control, but he's a troubled boy!"
"I know that he's a wizard."
"Oh."
"Ms. Dursley, I want to adopt Harry. I know you feel him as a great burden, and I would be happy to take that burden off your shoulders. Having a wizard under your roof, when you are non-magical people, is quite a struggle, I am sure. I am giving you a chance to be free from him! What do you say? I even have the adoption papers."
"Oh, really?" Petunia said, her eyes glowing, as if all her dreams were coming true.
"That's right, Ms. Dursley. I just need you to sign."
Petunia grinned. "Oh! This has to be the best day of my life. Come in, come in!"
Naira took out the papers. "This is where you have to sign. Could you have Mr. Dursley sign also?"
"Of course, of course! VERNON!"
Vernon came bumbling into the kitchen.
"What's wrong, sweet pea?"
"Nothing! This nice lady has volunteered to adopt Harry! We just have to sign these papers!"
Vernon looked like a child on Christmas Day. He did a little jig. "Whopee!"
He quickly signed. The couple hugged and started dancing around the kitchen. "This reminds me of that line from Les Miserables! 'Free at last, how strange the taste, never forget the years the waste!'"
Then they sang together, "nor forgive them for what they've done. They are the guilty, every one!" They continued waltzing around the dinner table.
"Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Dursley. I'll be leaving now. Can I take Harry's stuff?"
"Of course! His room is up stairs."
Naira grew solemn at the sight of the iron bars and the locks. She quickly magicked his stuff into a box, then went down the stairs. The Dursleys hurried to the door.
"Thank you, thank you!" Ms. Dursley sobbed, pulling Naira into a crushing hug. Mr. Dursley joined the group embrace.
"We are forever in your debt!" He bawled. Naira was finally released.
"Thank you, have a wonderful day!" She said, beaming as she walked out the door. Not even the Dursley's cruelness could ruin her happiness. Harry Potter was now her son. Boy, will Dumbledore have a nice surprise, she thought, giggling. No more better good. Harry was official in her power. Now she could protect him. She sent a letter to Harry as soon as she arrived home. Harry was going to eventually face the Dark Lord, but Naira would make sure he was ready mentally, physically, and emotionally. No matter what happened, love would get them through.
