Part 6 – Chapter 4 - Dec. 21, 1991

It was proving much more difficult that anyone had thought to locate P. Dursley. There were too many Dursleys to count, running around the dratted country. Attempting to use spells to locate P. Dursley on a map didn't work. Gringotts was no help, either. They kept all of their client's affairs private and confidential. The goblins didn't care that the money transfer was part of a kidnapping. They weren't going to share who P. Dursley was, or even acknowledge that there was such a person or that such a transfer was being made.

Lucius was doing his best with his Ministry connections to try and find out if this person was truly a Muggle, or if it was a Muggle-born witch or wizard. So far, no one in the magical community was named Dursley at all. It wasn't entirely surprising, however, as too many Muggleborns dropped off the face of the Earth as soon as they had finished schooling, and most of their families wanted to nothing to do with magic.

Severus got the idea—born of frustration as much as anything else—to look into people that Dumbledore might know who would be willing to take in a child and hide him in the Muggle world. Those people would be quite capable of hiding from the Ministry and lying low. The number of Dumbledore's contacts who had any tact or skill for subterfuge was limited. It helped that Dumbledore trusted him implicitly and let leak sensitive information quite often. Running through his mental list, he hit upon his first choice. Arabella Figg, a little-known member of the Order of the Phoenix, was a squib. Since she was not well-known, she might be a good choice to hide something the old codger didn't want anyone to find. She was worth a shot, at least. He contacted her quickly and carefully, but she knew nothing of value. He forbore revealing to much, lest she inform Dumbledore of the conversation.

As far as he could fathom, no one else in the Order would be a very likely choice. Most of them were fairly high-profile witches and wizards. The addition of a child to their families would be noted in most social circles. Also, many of them were very firmly good and would not agree to the kidnapping of a child, even if Dumbledore had swore it was for “The Greater Good.” He knew that it had to be someone out of the box or Minerva would have found the boy already.

Thinking very hard, he sifted through thoughts and memories, trying to see something, some sort of rhyme or reason to the placing of Potter. If he didn't want someone to find something, he'd put it in the last place they'd assume he would. Someplace that seemed obvious--so obvious that most would discard it as too obvious. They would never bother to check. So he made a list of the people that were too obvious: Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Frank and Alice Longbottom...and Petunia Evans. He only added on that bint because she was technically Lily's sister and Harry's only other family. It would be a no-brainer that Dumbledore would put the boy with family, so most people would assume that, because it was so simple, that he wouldn't do it.

Going by process of elimination, he could take away Frank and Alice Longbottom—as they had been tortured by the Dark Lord's followers already—and Sirius Black wouldn't have prevented his godson from going to Hogwarts no matter how dangerous Albus had claimed it. Not to mention the fact that he would be telling everyone who would listen that he had custody of Harry and that the child wasn't dead after all. No, the mutt and the wolf had been told that Harry had died, just like everyone else. It was entirely possible that Lupin could keep his mouth shut about the truth—having had long years of practice hiding his lycanthropy from the world for his own safety—but not the mutt. So, two choices—Remus Lupin and Petunia Evans.

He went to his Lord and presented his thoughts.

"Evans...she's the older sister of Lily Potter, yes? It's been ten years since Lily lost her son...you wouldn't expect her name to still be Evans, would you?" Voldemort asked, as if Severus should have known better.

Honestly, the thought hadn't really occurred to him. His thoughts had been on the werewolf and what he might be able to do with his mouth. But, he took a moment now to think it through. It took much longer than it should have for it to click—P. Dursley. Not P. Evans.

They had a better jumping off point now.
