Let it be noted that on August 11th, 1981 the souls of a Mister Harry James Potter and a Miss Genevra Molly Weasley were bonded as of birth. The effects of said bond may not be felt until actual contact is initiated between the two.
The ministry official entered the room, making sure that all was as it should be, that is to say the records were the same as they had been the day before. He was terribly surprised to see that there was indeed something out of the ordinary. The book that hadn't been updated...or rather hadn't needed updating, was in the process of updating itself as he looked on in wonder. The ancient quill was moving upon the yellow pages of the book as if an invisible hand had taken it upon itself to write in the antique looking book.
He was even more stunned when the headlines showed later on that the Potters had been attacked. He recognized the name almost immediately. It wasn't often that a new bond was formed, especially so early on in one's life. He had immediately questioned his boss about the effects the bond would have on the children. The last thing anyone needed was for the children to be diagnosed with schizophrenia or some other mental disorder. Fortunately, it was extremely unlikely that the bond would be discovered until the two somehow triggered the bonding process. The two decided it would be best to keep the bonding a secret until it became absolutely necessary for the information to be revealed. The ministry work was especially glad they had reached that decision upon the news release about Voldemort himself targeting the Potter family.
Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore looked out at the peaceful lake over the top of his now read newspaper. He had to think this over quickly. The boy had to be kept safe, that was the number one priority. However, the safest place for him to go would be to his muggle relatives' house but those people were barely worthy of being called human beings. He could not allow that, There was no telling the horrors Harry would face there. Maybe he should just take the boy to the Weasley house. It would certainly be better for him to grow up around magic...and it was most definitely what the Potters would have wanted. However, if anyone were to attack the muggles and Harry wasn't living with them, then the muggles would be completely open and easy to attack.
Dumbledore strode quickly away from the window to the magnificent moving stairway that was indeed one of the entrances to his office. He would go talk with the people that were involved, except for young Harry of course, and then he would consider both opens carefully. He could then decide precisely where he should take the young one.
It didn't take long to apparate to the Burrow. Unfortunately, though, when he was heading to Little Whinging, he wouldn't be able to apparate straight to the house. He quickly rapped on the door, this was in fact a rather important topic to discuss. Action had to be taken as soon as possible. Hagrid went to grab Harry to take care of him for the time being until it was decided where he would be.
"Albus! I wasn't expecting you so early in the morning. Do come in." Molly Weasley said, holding the door open and stepping back to let Dumbledore into her house. She was still wearing her robe but had obviously been up for a while. "I was just making breakfast. Would you like anything?"
"Oh. Eggs and toast would just be lovely." Dumbledore commented. "I must speak with you and Arthur as soon as possible. Perhaps over some breakfast before the kids get up."
"Certainly. Let me just go fetch Arthur..." Molly replied, all ready walking toward the stairs. She crept her way up the stairs being careful to step as lightly as possible to make the least amount of noise that she could. She sensed that it would be best if she didn't wake the kids yet. They could have a bit of a lie in today, they would certainly be fine with that.
"Arthur. Arthur wake up! Albus needs to talk to us." Molly shook her husband to wake him.
Downstairs, Dumbledore was sitting, drumming his fingers on the table. He really needed to do this as quick as possible. He understood that obviously Arthur hadn't been up when he had arrived. The Weasley parents could be heard walking down the stairs together.
"All right. Albus what do you need?" Molly said, setting a big plate of eggs, bacon, and toast on the table.
"I'm sure you heard about what happened to the Potters..." Dumbledore said somberly, slowly chewing on the food.
"Yes. I just found out this morning." Molly stated.
"Well...as I believe you have probably all ready figured out, Harry will need a new place to stay." Dumbledore replied.
"Nonsense. He'll stay here." Molly replied.
"There's more to the situation that. There are things that need to be considered. However, I may have to ask you to do just that." Dumbledore responded.
They all heard the sound of a baby crying upstairs. It was almost as if little baby Ginny could tell that something was wrong in the world. Molly Weasley went up the stairs to attempt to get her youngest child to stop crying. It seemed to work after a rather short bit of time since Dumbledore and Arthur could not hear the crying anymore.
Dumbledore had to make yet another decision. It was not, however, as big of a decision as the one about Harry. He figured that he could just stay here and eat a fantastic breakfast. In a round about way, the only thing he was really doing was putting off his meeting with the Dursleys. He didn't always appreciate having to interact with muggles. It was not that Dumbledore, the wise man that he was, hated muggles simply because they were not wizards, rather, it was more that they saw all the signs pointing to magic being real and simply chose to ignore them. It didn't entirely make sense to him. Why would one not see what was directly in front of them for what it was?
Molly had traversed down the stairs by the time Dumbledore emerged from his thoughts and was now handing Arthur their daughter. She then started over to the oven taking out the ingredients she needed on her way. It was not long before the banging of pots and pans awoke the kids still upstairs and the rumbling of feet on the stairs started.
The breakfast was filled with jokes and good natured talk. The adult Weasleys decided that they would tell their kids of the events of the night before after they had had their breakfast and they were filled to contentment. Dumbledore finished eating and stood to leave. His action was responded to with a resounding "Bye, Professor Dumbledore" from all of the kids seated around the table. He waved goodbye to all of them before heading out the door.
