Harry's pov

July 31, 1991

As I lay on the hard, wood floor I peek a look at Dudely's watch. "12:00 am. Happy Birthday to me. Happy Birthday to me." I whisper-sing, as I blow the birthday candles I made from the dust on the floor. "I wish I would have been put with a family who cares about me." I mutter before cuddling into myself on the cold ground. As I am about to drift off to sleep, I catch a glimpse of a bright light outside the door. Someone started to bang on the door, quickly I got up and hid on the other side of the fireplace, out of sight.

Uncle Vernon comes down with a gun, right as he points it the door falls straight onto the floor revealing a very large and hairy man. "Dursely's, where is Harry?" The tall man asks, they immediately point to me behind the fireplace. "Ah! Hello Harry, I'm Hagrid! I have your letter from Hogwarts, as well as a letter from your godmother. Violet Lupin-Black!" Hagrid states cheerfully. "Violet! Dumbledore told us she wasn't supposed to be involved! A sick woman she is." My aunt Petunia sneered. Hagrid stood up and faced my aunt and uncle. "Don't ever disrespect Violet in front of me. As for Dumbledore he told them on his 11th birthday they have the full right to take him." Hagrid spit.

I ripped open the letter from my godmother, 'Hello Harry, I know you are most likely very confused on who I am and what is Hogwarts. I am your godmother, your parents James and Lily were very good friends with me. Lily wanted me to be your godmother, I do need to apologize in person about losing you. I will explain everything to you when I come and rescue you from your horrid aunt and uncle. I'll see you soon, Harry. I love you so much. Love, Violet Black.' As I read the letter I couldn't contain my smile. Dudley ripped the letter from my hand and read it. I took it back and shoved it in my pocket.

"Mom! His letter was calling you and dad horrid!" Dudley whined. "That sounds like Violet alright." Petunia sneered. "Hagrid, when will I see her?" I asked, he smirked at me before looking at my aunt. "Sooner than you think, Harry. You are going to love her." Hagrid smiled before handing me Hogwarts letter and taking off. I can't wait to meet her, and she knew my parents. My aunt and uncle were glaring at me, "As soon as she spends a second with you, she'll want to get rid of you." My aunt spoke harshly.

Later that morning we were back at their house, I was ordered to clean the house and do the laundry while Dudley slept and my aunt and uncle were making food. I slowly grabbed the broom to sweep the entry hall. As I made my way to the entry hall I saw multiple flashes of white light. Ignoring it, I continued to sweep. There were three knocks on the door, before I could open it my uncle ran to the door looking through the peephole. "Petunia, it's them." He whispered harshly. I smiled and waited for them to open it.

Violet's pov

As we waited outside the Dursley's home, Grace held Regulus' hand while Remus and Sirius were standing on their side as well. As we waited I heard Vernon whispering to Petunia, I scoffed. "Vernon, Petunia. I know you are there. I don't think you want me mad." I sneered knocking on the door once more. I heard Vernon groan before opening the door, he opened it and put on a fake smile. "Vernon, don't pretend you like me, because Merlin knows I don't like you." I sneered in a fake voice. "Now, where is my godson?" I asked looking around the house as I walked in.

"Ah! Violet, oh look you brought the mutt, the criminal, your lazy husband, and a child." Petunia sneered. My fake smile faltered as I glared at her. "Petunia, I see you haven't changed. And you still wondered why Lily wanted to make me his godmother not you." I sneered stepping closer to her. "Call my brother a mutt, my brother a criminal and my husband lazy one more time, and I'll turn your son into a pig." I spit looking at Dudley who hid behind his dad. "Last time I'm going to ask, where is my godson?" I looked at the Dursleys. "I-I'm Harry Potter." I hear a small voice from behind Petunia. I looked around her and smiled at the small face that resembles so much like James and Lily.
