Most unbelievable element: the site that gave me the link to this story rated it 3 out of 5. Merlin, what to the 1s read like?
At breakfast Dumbledore decided to talk to Minerva about his dream and checking on Harry. He called her into his office and closed the door. "Minerva, I had a strange dream last night, only it wasn't really a dream but a vision." "Albus, are you sure you should be tell me this and not Sybil?" "I'm sure, in my vision the young Harry Potter was being abused by his uncle." "The poor dear." "That is why I am asking you to check on Harry at number four, Privet Drive." "But Albus, why me?" "Because of your anamagi as a cat, you can see in the house without suspicion." "When shall I leave?" "As soon as possible."It's the Albus/Minerva/Severus rescue plot, only told very quickly (too quickly for trivialities such as paragraphs!).
Harry was able to be under the care of Minerva by the next morning. (Wednesday, I believe trying to go logically by the story) Snape and McGonagall took turns passing Harry back and forth. If one had a class the other would take him. On Saturday Severus took him for the day and he made arrangements for Harry to spend the night with Hagrid. Harry loved playing with Hagrid. To Harry he was like a big kid. So Harry would have no objection to it. Minerva left the grounds to Hogsmeade that morning at around 6 o' clock and apparated to number four, Privet Drive. She then transformed into the cat again. When Vernon left the house to get the milk (They can have milkmen in England right, if not the do in this story.) and saw the cat again he let her in. "Oh, there you are Fur-Face. My boy has been looking for you. You must have escaped when those people took that ungrateful nephew of mine back to his world. Didn't think we treated him well enough. Well ha; lets see if those people can do better. Well in you go." At this point Minerva was furious, but she had to keep her cool, she had to keep up the act that she was a real cat.FF.net is overrun with author's notes (generally of the type begging for feedback), but author's notes within the story? This is a truly inventive writer.
