Chapter two
When he knows everyone is asleep, he reads the next letter. The letter is addressed to him.
Dear Harrison (Harry)
If you read this, I’m sorry your father and I aren’t here anymore and I wanted to let you know no matter what we will always love you no matter where you end up your father and I wrote a bunch of letters that won’t open until the time is right for this letter to let you know, no reason reason whatsoever do you dress up as Dumbledore he is not who he seems the next letter you should read will explain it more. We love you, Harrison always and forever,
your mother and father, James and Lily Potter.
He didn’t even realize he was crying until he felt something drip onto his hand. He quickly put the letter away to not ruin it. He decided he should try to get some sleep because he knows he’ll have to be up early in the morning, but so many things were going through his mind like who is Dumbledore and why shouldn’t you trust him? He didn’t even realize he fell asleep until his aunt woke him up by banging on his cupboard door. Time flew by after that about a month and was close to his birthday. Actually, it was his birthday while he was cooking. He heard a knock at the door. His aunt answered the door while he was plating breakfast hoping he would get some today. “Hello are you Petunia Dursley?” And elderly woman asked
“ Yes I am can I help you?” Aunt Petunia asked nicely
“ My name is Minerva McGonagle, I teach transfiguration at Hogwarts. May we continue this conversation inside it could take a while.”
“ No you cannot when we took the boy in we vowed to end all of this rubbish” as aunt Petunia was trying to close the door the elderly lady put her foot in the doorway
“ this is nonnegotiable” The Stranger said as she pushed her way inside “ you cannot just walk into my home uninvited you and your freakishness can leave” Uncle Vernon said from the living room “I’m here to talk about your nephew coming to Hogwarts this year.”
“ we already said we’re gonna end all this rubbish so he’s not going to leave here he’s a freak and a freak doesn’t go to school to learn under some crackpot old fool” uncle Vernon, looking purple in the face said
Professor McGonagle did not deter from the situation and said” his name has been down since he was born. It is not your choice to let him go or not. He is going.”
“ Mr. Potter, can you come here, please?” The professor asked. Harry slowly walked into the room. As soon as the professor saw Harry she knew immediately he wasn’t treated right she tried to stay calm while looking at the Dursley. Her voice, cold and icy.” you were supposed to treat Harry like a son and he looks like he’s treated worse than a house elf. He will never come back here again, and that also means the protection on your house will be gone.”
He was surprised by that he didn’t know about any protection on the house and what was he being protected from Dumbledore? or something else? When Professor McGonagle looked how he was surprised she smiled softly and said “I will explain everything later for now go pack your things we will be leaving soon”
He quickly went over to his cupboard and opens it and grabs the bag of his letters and some old clothes of Dudley and put it in another bag professor “ is that all Mr. Potter” Harry nods” put it on the ground, please” she pulls out a stick and taps the bag and it shrinks Harry just realized he witnessed magic for the first time “ grab my arm we will be apprating it’s like teleportation, but for Wixson. We have one stop before we go get your school supplies.”
——
Apperating was very uncomfortable. It felt like he was going through a straw, and when they landed almost fell luckily before he did, professor McGonagle caught him. Once his vision stopped spinning, he looked up and saw a phone booth.” where are we?” Harry asked quietly
“This is the visitors entrance for the ministry of magic” professor McGonagle says as she opens the booth signaling Harry to get inside and she follows after once they’re both inside she types 26442 ‘clever’ Harry thought he started out of just thought when the phone will start lowering until it stops. Then he and Professor were gonna go walk out straight to the check-in desk.” Minerva McGonagall to see Amelia bones.” “ form of identification, please” The professor handover her wand(?) “ everything seems to be in order.” The check in person said as she hands the wand back to the professor. Professor McGonagle put a soft hand on Harry shoulder as they walk to the lifts when they entered professor McGonagle pushes a button, which harry assume is to Amelia‘s office. When they get off they walk to a door ‘Amilia bones head of DMLE’
Professor McGonagle knocks a soft ‘come on’ they walk in and the door closes on its own. “Amilia it’s good to see you, but I’m afraid I’m not here for a normal visit.” She and Harry sit down. “ I understand Minerva, your message sound urgent. Can you explain to me what happened?” The professor took a deep breath. “ when the letters for Hogwarts are ready to be sent out when, my eye was for young Mr. Harry Potter here” she handed the letter in question to Amelia. She was shocked at what she read.” that was my exact reaction so I decided to hand deliver the letter.” Amelia hand the letter to Harry so he can read it as the professor explained what happened with the Dursley’s.

After he finishes, reading the letter Professor McGonagle is then explaining what happened and Amelia speaks up” after we explained we need to make sure he never goes back there. Also, we need to see who his magical guardian is and have them removed for neglect.”
Harry was a little confused” what’s a magical guardian?” he asked.” a letter my parents left me explain I need to go to Green gods bank, but they never explained what a magical guardian is.”
Both women looked at Harry as Harry shrunk back into the chair. He was wondering if he said anything wrong.” do you have the letter with you Mr. Potter?” Amelia asked he nods and grabbed the bag out of his pocket, opened it and handed the letter to her. She put her monoline to read it after she read it. She requested to see it there will when it says they were blocked. She looks at the professor and said “ we need to go to Gringotts immediately” she hands the letter back to Harry. He put it back in his bag and back into his pocket. Next stop is Gringotts
