Adam leaned on the doorbell waiting for Petunia to answer the door. He wondered if she would be as much of a bitch now as she had been when he had come to train Lily. God she’d been a jealous, spiteful little thing when she found out that not only was Lily a witch going to go to a special school while she had to attend Stonewall but Lily was also going to get to travel around the world for the next few summers with her “Uncle” Adam. But since Petunia had been adopted by Rose, when her husband’s sister died in childbirth and was not in fact of his line, he could not take her with and still teach the secrets that Lily had needed to learn.

“Sure to be on of those freaks, leaning on the door buzzer like that. No manners at all.” Petunia mumbled as she quickly walked through the house to answer the door.

“What!” Petunia snapped as she swung the door open. She took one look at the man standing on her front porch grinning at her and started to slam the door shut. Adam quickly shoved at the door causing it to swing back in.

“I’m here for Harry.”

“Oh no” Petunia shook her head back and fourth. “Absolutely NOT! I will not have you rewarding that little freak by taking him around the world like you did my sister. It wasn’t fair that I was left behind and I won’t have my son left behind just because you prefer green eyed freaks to normal people!”

“Mom?” Dudley question as he stepped out of his bedroom and into the hallway to look down at his mother. Dudley had changed a lot over the school year. He had stopped bullying the other kids, paid more attention to school and stuck to his diet; well mostly stuck to it, it was really hard not to have a burger and fries with his friends once in a while but the school nurse told him that it wasn’t a big deal once in a while just not every day. Despite sticking to the diet he was still overly obese and the nurse at school had told his parents that he needed to see a doctor but his parents hadn’t taken him. They said he was just big boned and had lost too much weight as it was. Dudley didn’t agree but he kept his mouth shut and waited for his cousin to come home from his school. Hoping that maybe their was a magical answer to his weight problem. But every time he tried to talk to Harry one of his parents would show up and make it impossible. Dudley had figured out that being a Wizard didn’t really make Harry any different, just that he could do stuff other people couldn’t. Like his friend Anton speaking a different language or Millie singing her songs. Neither of which were things he could do.

Adam cocked his head to the side and looked at the boy Petunia wanted him to include. Well, well, well… that was certainly a surprise. Petunia must have married a pre-Immortal. While only someone with magic could father a child after their first death, a pre-Immortal could father a child before their first death and if they did that it was most likely that they would pass on their quicking to the child leaving them mortal and the child a pre-Immortal.

“Alright Pet. I’ll take your son as well.” Adam gave Dudley a wink before grinning wolfishly at the woman in front of him.

Petunia was startled. She had begged to go with every summer that Adam had come for Lily and he had always refused with a quite ‘sorry Pet’ and off he went with her sister. Lily always sent postcards but never once had she received a souvenir from Adam.

“Take me where, mom?” Dudley question as he walked down the stairs towards the people in the entrance hall.

“I’m taking you and Harry to America for the summer.” Adam replied at the overly large boy standing in front of him.

“Who are you?”

“You can call me Adam.”

“You aren’t taking Harry anywhere. That boy has to stay here in the house for his own protection.” Petunia interrupted the conversation.

“Yeah I noticed the blood wards. We can take care of that easy enough.” Adam responded before turning back to Dudley. ”Go pack for the rest of the summer… Mind you not to much stuff we can buy you new clothes as you lose weight and trust me boy you are going to lose weight. You’re a heart attack waiting to happen at that size.” Adam said.

Yes sir.” Dudley mumbled with a blush before heading back up there stairs.

“yo… you! You bastard! How dare you! That’s my son and he’s already lost more then enough weight. To much if you ask me. Need to put some meat on those bones!”

“You’re the one who needs meat on your bones Petunia.” Adam stated as he began walking up the stairs to where he felt the magical presence. “A little more meat and maybe people wouldn’t notice your striking resemblance to a horse with a baby giraffe neck.”

Petunia sputtered a fumed as Adam knocked on the door to Harry’s room.
