Standing at the top of the stairs, Honey demanded, "What do you want?"
Honey saw that there were two men and three women. The woman smiled wickedly when she saw Honey.
"If you don't want to get hurt mud-blood, you'll just hand over the boy."
Honey's response to that threat was to leap straight down the steps at the three intruders. The three black robes were startled by her actions and pulled out their wands.
Okay, I guess I'll have to do it to protect Harry," Honey mumbled to herself. "Honey Flash!"
The intruders winced at the sudden flash of light. As they cleared the spots before their eyes, they saw that the blonde woman had changed into a red-haired woman wearing a one-piece red and blue outfit.
One of the men said, "Heh. So you're a squib. You are no match for three Death Eaters."
Honey ripped off her armband and tossed it at the Death Eaters. "Honey Boomerang."
The boomerang flew through the air and struck the two men and they fell to the ground clutching their throats. The woman smiled nastily and pointed her wand at Honey.
"Don't feel too bad, we we're going to kill you anyway. Avada Kedavra!" The woman said, and pointed her wand at Honey.
The green sphere of light struck Honey. The android girl shook her head and then glared at her attacker. The woman backed up in shock.
"That should have killed you! No one has a counter to the Killing Curse! Only Harry Potter survived it!" The woman babbled
Honey raised her hand in the air. "Silver Floret!"
A silver sword appeared in her hands. She dropped her sword arm and pointed the sword at the woman. Without saying another word, Honey spun and swung her sword in a series of arcs. Once she was done, the three Death Eaters lived up to their names. They had tasted death.
Looking down at the corpses, Honey said, "Normally, I would have gone into one of my speeches, but I have a child to care for."
Honey went over and called the police to let them know of the attack. She went back upstairs and made sure Harry was okay. She gently tousled the baby's hair.
"This isn't the first time I've stood up to a spell that could kill humans. Considering I was switched on instead of born, spells aren't going to work right on me."
Before the police arrived, Honey shifted back to her normal blonde haired appearance. After a question and answer session with the police, Honey was left alone. The police had taken the corpses away. Holding the door back in place, Honey used her ACU to repair and strengthen the door.
Honey sat down and thought. "Okay. Maybe the idea of hiding my abilities from Harry isn't going to work. I had to hide them from the police due to other reasons. I guess I really can't follow Dumbledore's wishes for Harry to grow up a normal boy."
Before long, she heard a knocking at the door. She prepared herself mentally, before opening the door. When she did, she saw an old man wearing green robes. Just by the expression on his face, Honey could tell that he was worried about something.
Taking a chance that this wasn't a trick, Honey asked, "Who are you?"
"My name, young lady, is Albus Dumbledore. I was hoping that Harry was all right."
Despite being an android, Honey had a good feel for people and could tell that this person was telling the truth. Honey opened the door a bit wider.
"Come in. Harry's fine. I just had to repel some cultists. Well, kill would be the better term. They called themselves Death Eaters."
Dumbledore looked at Honey. "I know. The Ministry of Magic was quite upset when they heard about the attack. I was able to get part of the story from the Dursley's. The only part I don't have is yours."
Honey explained how she got involved with Harry. She went on to say that she was now Harry's adoptive mother. Dumbledore told Honey of the war against Voldemort and his Death Eaters, but left out the prophecy.
Dumbledore said, "I can put wards up to protect this house. How are you going to handle raising Harry?"
Honey thought about it and then replied, "I'll answer his questions truthfully. I'm not going to fill his head that he is better than others are. I will let him know that there is a world of magic out there."
"Thank you, Miss Kisarigi. I know that you'll be a good mother to Harry."
Honey inwardly thought, "At least one of us thinks so. I'm still not sure I can do this. I'm an android that only had a 'father', never a mother."
Dumbledore stood up and said, "It shall have to do until Harry is eleven and can attend Hogwarts."
