[June 1991]
Pomona Sprout, the Head of Hufflepuff House, Herbology professor and Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts, looked through the list of muggleborn first-years and called out one single name that earned her a few raised eyebrows.
"Dudley Dursley."
"Pomona, are you serious about this?" The redhead Muggle Studies professor, Lily Potter, asked, trying her best to ignore the snickering of the DADA professor next to her. "My sister and that oaf she calls her husband hate magic with all they are. There's a chance they'll abandon the poor boy if they find out he's a 'freak'. And I won't stand for it." Her green eyes grew cold for a moment before she spoke again. "If they hurt my nephew, I'm going to take him in."
The Headmistress, Minerva McGonagall, nodded in approval and said "You may do that as you please, just try to discuss the matter in your quarters later on. We shall continue."
-(Later, in the Potter's study)-
James Potter summarized the plan. "While Padfoot's off roasting some muggles tomorrow, I hop in at Diagon Alley to make a few transactions at Gringotts so my nephew can afford his school supplies. Then we meet there to get an adoption going and then we go our separate ways. That's it?? I get to do NOTHING??!!?"
"Exactly, James." Lily seemed annoyed by her over-exaggerating husband but kept her temper at level.
"Really? No hexing? Not a single ounce of fun?" The Marauder asked, obviously eager to 'discipline' his in-laws.
"Exactly, James!" came the prompt and sharp reply, to which the animagus just pouted, knowing it was best to be silent at that moment.
An excited yelp interrupted the six teachers and they turned to look at a nine-year-old girl who looked practically like Lily's clone, well, except for her hazel eyes which were no doubt her father's.
"Mum! Dad! Uncle Padfoot! I did it, I transformed!!" The young redhead was bouncing through her parents' study, squealing in excitement and wrapped her addressed relatives in a bear hug.
"So what animal did you turn into, Mia?" Sirius Black asked. The witch replied "An Australian Wedge-tail Eagle!
|AN: those oversized chickens won't take anyone's crap, please don't ever get near one|
It was SOOO epic!! Even Harry and Ian were impressed, well at least they told Draco to not mess with me if he wanted to see the next day"
At this statement, a clearly embarrassed boy with curly platinum blond hair barged in and shot back "Well they know that a polar fox can't put up with a bird as huge as Dad's motorcycle! Come on now, we need your brains for the next big prank!", took Mia's hand and ran back with her, only to the laughs of James and Lily Potter, Godric Flint-Black (responsible for the Dueling club), Sirius Black and Remus Lupin (the History of Magic professor).
-(next day, Privet Drive)-
Sirius Black made his way to Number 4. He knocked on the door and stepped back, waiting for someone to open.
He didn't have to wait.
A tall, bony woman with a face resembling that of a horse greeted him. |AN: no offense to any equestrian out there|
Her smile faltered the longer she stared, recognizing the robes, the wand and, most importantly, the letter in the man's right hand. "Good morning, Petunia. I would like to speak with your son Dudley. You might recall the occasion."
Before Petunia could close the door, the man had already made his way inside. He looked around and, finally, turned to face the woman who had denied the existence of magic so vehemently that it cost her the only family she had left.
The time it took her to overcome the shock of having another wizard in her house was already well used by Sirius, who had analyzed the situation and went over to knock on the door of the cupboard under the stairs.

Cliffhanger. Yes, I know I am evil, but like all authors, I want my readers to suffer. I know it's a short chapter but the next one will be longer. If you have ideas for the plot, just DM me or comment it. Don't forget to vote!
