Aunt Addy

That stormy night, a tall house, on a rock island somewhere out at sea. The Dursleys, including Harry have moved there, due to the chaos with the letters. 

"He was so close!" James whines as he thinks about how close Harry was to reading his letter. 

The family is sleeping, with Harry on the cold, dirt floor and Dudley sleeping on a sofa. Harry has drawn a birthday cake in the dust on the floor which reads, Happy Birthday Harry. Harry looks at Dudley's watch from his arm that was leaning over the couch, which beeps 12:00. "Make a wish, Harry." Harry says to himself before he blows the "candles" on the drawn birthday cake.

"That's so sad." Alice comments.

Suddenly, the door thumps, in sync with the thunder flashing. Harry jumps. The door thumps again and Dudley and Harry jump up and back away. Harry hides behind a wall, and Dudley cowers on a windowsill. Petunia and Vernon appear, with Vernon holding a double barrel gun. "Who's there?!" Vernon squeaks out as everyone cowers away from the door. A final boom on the door and the door flies off its hinges, landing harshly on the floor. 

In the darkness outside they can see a small, female figure standing in the doorway with what looked like a stick in her hand. She steps more into the light and what can be seen is an older looking Adelaide Potter. "Oh Merlin, it's freezing out there." She complains as she walks more into the house, highlighting her soaked hair and wet clothing, as the others continue to stare at her in slight confusion, Vernon still pointing the gun at her.

"Addy!" The Marauders and future children cheer causing the girl to smile and blush lightly. 

"Sorry about the door." She says with a slight wince before she flicks the object in her hand and fixes the door. "But I did knock so you can't be mad at me." She explains with a shrug. 

"I remember this." Harry says as he laughs lightly. Adelaide turns in her seat and winks at him before turning back.

"I demand that you leave at once!" Vernon orders causing Adelaide to look at him and the gun keeping a completely neutral. "You are breaking and entering."

Adelaide looks at him and tilts her head before making a motion with her hand holding the object and suddenly, the gun is in her hand. She analyses the gun with curious eyes. "What is the purpose of this?" She asks as starts moving it around, suspiciously. "It seems useless." She decides before she chucks over her shoulder making it land harshly on the ground. Adelaide then turns her attention to Dudley who is shaking in fear. "And who is this? Because when I thought of how Harry would grow up I didn't expect him to look like this." Adelaide comments.

"Adelaide!" Euphemia scolds her daughter as many other people laugh. 

"What? With what we have seen is it really out of pocket?" Adelaide asks as she turns to look at her mother. Euphemia stares at her for a second before nodding in agreement and sitting back in her seat. 

"I'm not Harry." Dudley quivers out. 

"Well I know that." Adelaide agrees as she puts the object that was in her hand in her pocket.

"I am." Harry says as he walks out of his hiding spot. 

Adelaide turns her head towards Harry and smiles at him. "That makes a lot of sense." Adelaide says as she walks over to him and crouches down in front of him. "I haven't seen you since you were a baby but, you look so much like James." Adelaide explains with a chuckle. "Except for your eyes, you have your mother's eyes. She also had really kind, beautiful eyes."
