    Summary

    “They always were a little nuts over money. Thinking that being wealthy makes you respectable,” Harry says.

    ”They haven't changed,” Dudley snorts.

    ”So, honestly, I really just want to tell your mum to go to hell, no offense.”

    “None taken.”

    ”But, I want to know what’s in that safe deposit box. I have so little of my parents it would be worth playing their games to get access to it. And I think I could. You know, my fiancée is wealthy… very wealthy. They’re more loaded than the GDP of several European countries.”

    Dudley’s eyes widen. ”Well, that might just equal respectability in my parents’ eyes. What are you thinking?”

    ”Maybe inviting them to the Manor.”

    Summary

    Harry did not know this and would not know this until Mrs. Granger mentioned it casually over a Christmas dinner years and years later-- but she and Mr. Granger reported the Dursleys for child abuse and neglect, over and over.

    The reports got lost-- minds scrubbed down, papers vanished-- but they kept calling in reports. They considered kidnapping. They couldn't imagine why the wizarding world might want to keep their chosen one somewhere so toxic, why they might want to keep this underfed child and his messy hair with those people.

    "My mother left me a blood protection spell," said Harry, whose scar had not ached in years. He poked at his mashed potatoes under the focused attention of Mrs. Granger's stern little forehead wrinkle. "I had to live with family, blood family."

    "Then they should have made them treat you right," Mrs. Granger said, as though it was that simple.

    Mr. Granger gave Harry another helping of peas.
