Dumbledore's protection part 53

"Right. You two freaks go up to your bedroom, leave your trunks and that bloody pigeon down here. You may leave sir, and I forbid you to enter my house."

"Mr Potter, Miss Potter stay where you are and keep your pets with you." Said Dumbledore authoritatively.

Harry and Emma were distinctly uncomfortable with Vernon's presence but felt reassurance from that of their headmaster.

"You sir, will not tell me how to…" began Vernon.

"Mr Dursley. What happens from this point on is your choice. Either we can take this conversation inside or I can take your niece and nephew back to Hogwarts and arrange for the Muggle authorities to have you and your wife incarcerated for child abuse."

Vernon glared at Dumbledore "We are not child abusers, and you have no proof."

"Mr Potter and Miss Potter have been extensively examined by the school Healer and there examinations show evidence of starvation and physical abuse. That is evidence enough: Both in Magical and Non-Magical legal systems. Now if you prefer, I shall take Harry and Emma back to Hogwarts and, as I believe the phrase goes, we shall see you in court."

Dumbledore turned to go and Harry and Emma, not wanting particularly to be anywhere near their demented uncle followed.

"Wait." Said Vernon. "You may come inside and I will hear what you propose."

Dumbledore turned. He had not smiled once in Vernon's presence and he now looked distinctly domineering, Harry and Emma could tell Vernon was intimidated by the sweat pouring down the side of his face.

The three of them followed the Potter's Uncle inside. Upon entering, it became obvious that Dudley and Petunia were watching from the top of the staircase.

"Petunia, you and your son should come and listen to what I am about to say, as this is going to affect all three of you." Said Dumbledore.

Emma and Harry walked through the threshold that led to the living room, just as Petunia and Dudley descended the stairs, they left their trunks in the hall and took only their pets with them.

Once they were all seated, Dumbledore did most of the talking.

"I cannot tell you how disappointed I am in both of you." Said the Headmaster, anyone else would have been scoffed at by the Dursleys for saying that in their presence. But Dumbledore's voice held such overwhelming calm that even Dudley wasn't stupid enough to react to it. "Petunia, when I asked you to take care of your niece and nephew, I meant for you to care for them like they were your own children. If you did not wish to have Harry and Emma under your care, then you should have simply written to me and I would have made other arrangements."

"You said that it was of the utmost importance…" Said Petunia angrily. "Your letter said that they would have been in danger had I not accepted. I normally wouldn't have cared but I know how your sort work; blowing up us normal people or else feeding us to these Dementor things."

"Petunia, I wanted Harry and Emma to grow up in a loving environment more than anything. If you were unable to provide that…"

"What about these protections." Said Vernon "Your letter said my family would be protected."

"The protections in question are for Harry and by extension Emma. They are for those who share the blood of Lily Potter. As other guests in this house, you would also have been protected."
