The Keeper of Keys

Dudley jumped awake.

"Where's the cannon?" he asked stupidly. The giant man stepped inside and into the light. Y/N and Harry were frozen in fear. The giant had a bushy beard, an overly large overcoat, and kind black eyes.

"Sorry 'bout tha'," he didn't sound half as scary as he looked. He put the downed door back into the doorframe. Uncle Vernon came into the room with a rifle aimed at the giant. Now Y/N knew what the long package was.

"Who're-" Vernon started.

"Couldn't make us a cup o' tea, could yeh?" asked the giant, looking at everyone. "Hasn' been an easy journey."

The giant walked over to the couch where Dudley was standing. Dudley squeaked and ran behind his mother.

The giant looked directly at Y/N and Harry.

"Ah, there's the twins!"

Y/N and Harry looked at each other in utter confusion.

"Las' time I saw you, you both was just little babies," the giant smiled. "Y/N, yeh look a lot like yer mother. Harry, yeh look like James. Got Lily's eyes though."

This made Y/N and Harry even more confused. 'Our parents knew giants?' Y/N mouthed.

"I demand you leave at once! You are breaking and entering!" Uncle Vernon piped up. The giant turned around.

"Oh, dry up, Dursley, yeh great prune," he reached back and grabbed the end of the rifle's barrel. He bent it straight up as though it was made of rubber.

Uncle Vernon let out a funny rasping noise.

"Anyways - Harry, Y/N," the giant turned back towards the twins. "a very happy birthday to yeh. Got sommat fer yeh here - I mighta sat on it at one point, but it'll still taste alright."

From one of the pockets in his black overcoat the giant pulled out a squashed brown box and handed it to Y/N, who had his hands out. Y/N and Harry opened it together to find a chocolate cake that said 'Happy Birthdae Y/N and Harry' in green icing. The 'and Harry' was very close to the edge of the cake. Y/N thought that this giant was probably not very good at planning.

Harry looked up at the giant.

"Uh...I don't mean to be rude, but...who are you?"

"True, I haven't introduced meself. Rubeus Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts," the giant responded.

Harry nodded but Y/N still looked at Hagrid with confusion.

"I still don't really know who you are," Y/N admitted.

"You can calm me Hagrid, everyone does. I'm the Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts - yeh know all abou' Hogwarts, o' course." Hagrid said.

"Sorry - but we don't," Harry said. Hagrid looked shocked.

"Yeh - yeh don't?" Hagrid gasped. "Yeh don't know anything about - about ANYTHING?"

Y/N thought that this was going a bit far. He had been to school after all, and his grades weren't bad.

"We know some things," Y/N said. "We know math and stuff."

"No, no," Hagrid shook his giant bearded head. "About our world. My world. Yer parent's world. Yer world."

"Stop! I forbid you to tell them any more!" Uncle Vernon plucked up the courage to talk again. Hagrid and the twins ignored him.

"What world?" Harry asked.

"The Wizarding World! Didn' you wonder where they learned it all?" Hagrid inquired.

"Where who learned what all?" Y/N was more confused than ever.
