15 year-old Harry Potter is lying at his Uncle's feet waiting for the beating that he knows is going to happen. His uncle doesn't disappoint soon there is a belt raining down on his entire back including; his legs, back, and bum. He knows that he should just keep quiet during a beating but he can't help but start whimpering at the pain. "Please Uncle, I promise I won't do it again. I'm sorry please!" He says all of this while thinking 'I have really done it this time. I won't make it through this one.'

Vernon hears the pleas and growls as he continues to beat his nephew with a renewed vigor. He starts to feel his stress melt away.

Meanwhile at Hogwarts.

Albus Dumbledore is busy doing the beginning of term paperwork that has to be done within these two weeks before school starts. He drops his quill and massages his wrist. He picks up his quill to finish up the last few documents when a shrill pitch courses through his office. Quickly his quill is dropped lying forgotten on the top of his desk as he makes his way over to the wall of instruments. "Shit." he mutters under his breath when he sees that the one going off is the one connected to the blood wards surrounding the house that Harry Potter lives in.

Albus makes his way over to his fireplace and grabs a handful of floo powder and throws it into the fire while saying, "Minerva's Bedchambers."

In the course of a minute Minerva is in the office looking worriedly at her old friend. "Albus what is the meaning of this?"

Albus quickly responds while grabbing a cloak; "No time. Harry is in danger." Without another word he disapparates away. Minerva sighing muttering something about an 'old man and his games' disapparates to Privet Drive hoping that is where Albus is.

Once they are both in front of Number 4 Privet Drive they make their way into the house not bothering to knock. Albus scans the house and sees nothing out of place so he heads upstairs. There is a door cracked open and they hear the distinctive swish of a bet swinging through the air.

Albus and Minerva don't even look at each other they just start running towards that room. The scene they walk in on makes them sick to their stomachs. Albus is deep in thought as to how he found Severus like this as well. Minerva is blaming herself for not figuring it out sooner.

They are both brought out of their musings by the sound of the belt hitting the flesh. Albus makes the belt fly out of Vernon's hands into his own so that the assault on the 'Chosen One's' back ceased.

Vernon roars when the belt is taken from his hands, "Freaks what are you doing here get out! I don't want anymore of your kind infecting me and my family."

"Mr. Dursley!" Albus yells upset by what he is hearing. "We are not freaks we are wizards. Second of all we couldn't infect you even if we tried we can't just give you the properties that make you a wizard because you are born with it not just given, what I would like for you to do is sigh over custody to Minerva and then we will be taking him. If you don't then we can take it to the Muggle or Wizarding authorities and have you sent to jail and then we gain guardianship over Harry."

"Who's to say you won't turn me over to the police after I give you the worthless freak?"

"We will not turn you over to the police after we gain the guardianship." Minerva jumps in with knowing full well that they will be answering to the Wizengamot for his actions towards Harry.

Albus nods in agreement knowing where she is going with this. Vernon thinks about this and then signs the papers giving guardianship over to Minerva.

Albus smiles and waves his wand making all Harry's things go into the trunk and then shrinks the trunk putting it in his pocket. Albus then picks up Harry and carries him out of sight with Minerva close behind and then the pair turns and apparates on the spot.
