It was now the following morning and Vernon Dursley was upon a ladder at the back of his house. Petunia and Dudley were stood a little way from the bottom of the ladder looking up at him as he was next to a window in some navy blue dungarees with a drill in his hand. He looked rather like an oompa loompa.
"He needs to be careful, climbing a ladder might be too much exercise for him." Nova sneered at the sight.
"Don't be horrible Nova." Andromeda scolded her.
Upon closer inspection, he was seen to be drilling bars on a window with a scrunched up, angry face beneath his grandpa cap. Once he finished drilling, he switched the drill to his left hand and used to his right to tug on the metal bars to make sure they were stable.
From inside the room, Harry was stood by the window looking harshly at him, not blinking. "You are never going back to that school. You're never going to see those freaky friends of yours again. Never!" Vernon said spitefully.
"We are not freaky!" Daisy huffed.
"Dumbledore How could you leave our child with a man such as this!" Lily shouted at him angrily.
"They are the only family he has left." Dumbledore told her.
"No they aren't! We specifically elected Sirius and Marlene as Harry's godparents which meant that if something were to happen to us then Harry would live with either of them! It was not put in place for you to blatantly ignore!" James said angrily.
"At the time, Mr Black was believed to be a traitor." Dumbledore explained.
"He wouldn't of been if you had fought for him and fought for a trial!" Young Remus said.
"You left my child in an abusive home where he slept in a cupboard for eleven years, was deprived of food, had bars out on his window, bullied, and down right tormented. How can you sit there and look so calm knowing that was because of you." Lily said angrily, pointing at him.
"Miss Evans I had no way of knowing Mr Potter's family would not care for him." Dumbledore told her.
"They're not my family." Harry muttered to himself and Nova rubbed his arm comfortingly.
"You wouldn't need to worry about knowing that if you had simply followed our wishes and left Harry with Sirius or Marlene." James told him again.
"Mr Potter the McKinnon family was murdered before your tragic death so therefore your son was not able to of been left with Miss McKinnon." Dumbledore explained.
