Albus woke feeling refreshed, and as if his responsibilities lessened slightly. Once he had gotten ready he headed to his office to look over the new school curriculum coming this September.
As he sat down he glanced over to the little trinket that was tied to the well-being of Harry Potter. He was happy to see he was in good health. See Minerva had nothing to worry about, family will protect family.
Minerva McGonagall was many things, and foolish was most certainly not one of them. She thought as she sat on the wall near that horrid house once more. She trusted Albus, she really did...Just sometimes he does as he pleases, and has far too much faith in people.
Her ears perked up at the sound of loud footsteps, and the clinking of pots and soon followed by the shrill cry of a spoiled child. Her whiskers twitched in annoyance, because really if anyone needs a good thumping then it was that muggle boy. Honestly the boy nearly makes the Malfoy's look humble.
Just as a cramp was settling into her neck not even fifty minutes later she saw the door open, and the big man whom she believed to be Vermin...no Vernon...At his side was Lilly's sister, and their child who was wiggling, and flailing about clearly unhappy with whatever was going on.
She watched as they talked about mundane things, not long later she watched them get into the car and drove off.
...Wait...What...?
She stood with a panic. What about Harry! Who in their right minds leaves a toddler alone, she quickly scampered off the wall and over to the house. She jumped onto the windowsill and looked in. She saw nothing, she strained her hearing trying to listen for any sound of the small Potter.
Nothing.
She looked around to see if anyone was out, and looking. When she saw nothing she jumped into a bush just in case and shifted back into her human self. Crawling out of the bush with as much dignity she could she went to the front door. Looking around once more she whispered a quite unlocking charm and quickly slipped into the home. She closed the door behind her with a soft click.
Her eyes roamed around the bland room she was in before snooping about. As she was looking she took deep breaths through her nose trying to scent the young boy. While her nose was nowhere near as good as a dog Animagus her nose was still better than a normal magical's.
She frowned when she didn't smell his usual scent of Lilies, Forest, and that toddler smell that all little ones have. With one last sweep of the house she headed out.
Where could he be...did...did they give him away? Should she check the nearby Orphanages?
Minerva took a deep breath to calm herself once she was outside, but stopped quick and took another deep breath. "Wait these scents..."
Old blood, poison, the night sky. and the other was Cherry blossoms, magic, and something she has never been able to place. These scents...she has only smelt them lightly on Albus a few times, and a few letters that he had on his desk, That seem to irritate him once he read them.
She heard someone clear their throat, and she looked to see a handsome man in a driver's outfit in front of a long car. He bowed slightly to her.
"Hello Miss. I've been tasked to look over this house and depending on whoever shows up, am to take them too My Lord." He gestured to the car "If you will Ma'am"
She narrowed her eyes at him, and thought for a moment before she stood straight and held her head high. Once she was in the car The driver opened the door for her, and closed it once she was in.
Soon the car began to go, and the two were blanked by a tense silence. "Why would the Lord of Demon's be doing with a magical child?" she asked.
But the man just looked at her through the mirror, before looking back at the road. Minerva thinned her lips, and glared slightly at the man before looking out the window.
After driving through some woods for the last twenty minutes they came to a large and beautiful Japanese styled manor. Minerva gaped slightly at it before she pulled herself together. The door opened for her and a gloved hand helped her out of the car.
"Oh, Thank you..." She said to the Driver who just bowed a little before getting back into the car and driving off.
She stood there for a moment wondering what she would do, before the doors opened, and a small green creature came out.
"What are you doing here human!" It squawked at her. "BEGONE! Or I will send the guards after you!" It demanded.
Just as she went to reply another voice called out. "Jaken! don't be rude to guests."
She saw the thing called Jaken flinch and turned slightly to the owner of the voice. "But-"
"No buts! Now go help the others pack!" The black haired woman demanded...and was she glowing slightly...pink?
She watched as the green being scurry off. Her eyes then fell back to the woman who was shaking her head fondly.
"Sorry about Jaken. He doesn't like...well anyone really. Besides his 'Lord' that is."
Minerva was about to say something when a sent hit her, her green eyes zeroing onto the child in the woman's arms.
"Harry!" She breathed out as relief filled her.
The toddler turned to the sound of his name, and beamed at her. "MINI!" and made grabby hands for her.
"Oh?" The woman said as she looked from the wiggling boy, to the woman who looked like she was about to cry. She smiled kindly at Minerva and handed Harry over to her.
"How about we have some Tea?" She asked.
Minerva sniffed slightly trying to hold back her tears, and nodded. "Tea sounds lovely."
Here we are chapter 3!
Also I've when back and cleaned up the first two chapters to the best of my limited ability, lol.
I've never been the greatest as grammar and spelling.
