Savannah Black: The Girl who Lived

Why Him?

Savannah stepped outside the front door expecting to hop on some giant broomstick or flying carpet or, at the very least, a dragon.

She wasn't expecting a rusty old motorcycle.

"Jump in then!"

She looked at Hagrid.

"Aren't we travelling by something, I don't know, more magical?"

Hagrid chuckled good-naturedly. "It ain't getting more magical than this ol' boy!"

Savannah was about to ask how a motorcycle was magical in any way whatsoever, but bit her tongue. She wasn't going achieve anything in the magical society if she angered some giant of a man who could probably break all the bones in her body without a second thought.

So she jumped into the motorcycle sidecar wondering what on earth the other intuitive witches, like her, would think when they saw her in this old thing.

"So we'll be heading straight to wherever we are shopping, presumably?" She politely asked.

"Oh No," Hagrid replied "I think that 'arry Potter is worth a detour!"

She groaned inwardly. Why, Why, why did Harry Potter have to be a wizard?

As Hagrid started the engine, Savannah was distracted from her thoughts as the motorcycle slowly rose into the air! It was like magic! Wait, no, it was magic. She was still getting used to that.

As they were flying, Savannah had an idea for a last prank on Harry before she completely disconnected with him at Hogwarts. It wasn't much but it was something just to price that she was better than him.

"Hagrid," Savannah said, trying (successfully) to sound innocent,"You know, it'll be both Harry's and my birthday by the time we reach Harry."

"Yes..." Hagrid responded.

"Well since it's our birthday could we please have a cake? One each,because Harry has quite individual tastes which I don't like. You can share mine!"

"Alrigh' cause you two are special! What are ya favourite flavours?"

"Well," Savannah spoke, trying not to burst out laughing," Harry absolutely loves Brussel sprouts sponge cake with cabbage and mushroom icing topped with radish sprinkles"

Hagrid looked at her questioningly.

"Honest!" she replied," anyway, I would die for a honeycomb cheesecake. Oh, and one last thing, don't mention what the flavours of Harry's cake are to him, I want it to be a surprise!"

Hagrid didn't object.

When they reached the cake shop, Savannah took the lead in ordering the cakes. As expected, the worker gave her a strange look but obliged.

They left the shop with one more stinky cake than they left with. Savannah almost regretted doing the prank just because of the putrid smell, but she quickly changed her mind when she remembered the Harry's reaction would DEFINITELY be worth it.

About an hour later, Savannah stepped out of the motorcycle and onto land again. They were on a rather rocky island with a wooden shack, which looked like it could fall off any minute, planted unstably on top.

She knocked. No response.

She pounded. No response.

Then Hagrid knocked and pounded over and over again. No response, but a faint whimper, which, presumably, came from Dudley.

Hagrid sighed as though he expected the Dursley's to actually answer the door, then kicked the door down and stood in the doorframe.

He wished Harry a happy birthday and handed him the cake.

"Savannah picked it. Says it's ya favourite!"

Harry began to speak.
"If you don't mind me asking, who are you and what's in this cake?"

"The cake's a surprise,"She interjected, before Hagrid could ruin the prank," And about who he is, let me explain..."

So she told him about Hagrid and magic.

"And what does this have to do with me???"

"Harry, yer a-"

Then Mr Dursley spoke for the first time.

"Stop, I forbid you to tell him!"

Hagrid responded with "you can shut up!" And he "magicked" a tail onto Dudley.

"Harry, yer a wizard."

Harry gasped. He gaped. Then he said
"Can I try the cake now?"

Savannah grinned as he took a bite.

He spat it out, disgusted.

"Eurgh! What's in this???"

"That's for us to know and you to never find out!"

And they left, with the Dursley's shaking their fists over Dudley's tail.
