"Minerva, you are serious correct?" Dumbledore said looking curious "You are putting your life in danger by doing this" McGonagall looked down at the baby with tears, "I'm sure. I have always wanted a family" He opened his thin, emerald eyes in surprise.
"he has Lilly's eyes". She now had tears flowing steadily down her cheeks but was careful to not get Harry wet. "Minerva, where will you keep him?" she thought for a moment, "he can live with me in Hogsmeade" He looked down like he was considering letting her go.
"And when you are teaching?" he asked "My house elf could watch him she used to watch her old master's children" Dumbledore tried to think of another thing to convince her.
"when he is sick?" "I'll make him food and take care of him during free periods and in between classes." She said lately. Dumbledore knew there was no way to convince her otherwise, "you are entirely sure about this correct?" he asked, she nodded softly,
"I'll protect him with my life", "Then so it is Harry, say hello to your new guardian"
A year passed and Harry was now 2 and could cause as much trouble as he wanted just like James.
He might have been little but he already had so many of the qualities that Lilly and James had.
He was brave, cunning, funny, and a troublemaker. But he also was smart, curious, kind, and sweet like his mother. McGonagall had raised him under magic but made sure to include muggle activities in his life to make sure he does not become cocky and mean to others who have muggle parents.
Dumbledore had convinced the Ministry that Harry was safe with McGonagall and was allowed to stay on Hogwarts property. "Minnie?" young Harry called, "yes, Harry?" McGonagall said coming into his view, "I just put you down for bed what are you doing up?" she asked him. He shrugged, "I had a nightmare."
Minerva watched the boy waddle on the balls of his feet, she knew that he wanted to go lay with her, so she bent down and picked up the child careful not to pinch hit small arms. She laid him down on her bed when they got back to her room where he immediately fell back asleep, snoring softly.
Minerva climbed back into bed making sure pillows was on the end of the bed so Harry wouldn't fall off the edge, when she knew he would be ok she fell asleep.
