The Heir of Hogwarts

The Half-Giant and His Flowery Pink Umbrella

Harry watched the time slowly for the next five minutes as he sorted out his thoughts on what had just happened. Then, as soon as his clock read 12:00am, a big, ugly man burst down there door. Harry crawled into the corner where he hoped not to be seen.

"You're a lot bigger than I thought you would be. You definitely have grown a lot, Harry." The big man said.

Dudley was scared out of his mine. "M-Mommy! Daddy!" He ran to his mother who hugged him tightly.

"If you're not Harry, then who is?"

Harry stayed back but spoke up quietly over the raging storm outside. "I-I am. M-my name's Harry." The big man turned around and smiled with his ugly yellow teeth.

"Ah, well, I have something for you. Well, two things actually." He reached into his pockets until he pulled out a box and opened it. Inside of the box, there was a pink cake with green writing that read, Happy Birthday Harry.  While Harry was examining the box, the man pulled out a pink, flowery umbrella and pointed it towards the fireplace. Then, out of nowhere, flames appeared.

"Is that for me? I've never had a birthday cake before. But, who are you? And how do you know me?" Harry went from happy to concerned quickly.

"The name's Hagrid. I know you, 'cause I delivered you to your aunt and uncle when you were just an itty bitty little baby." He continued to rummage inside of his pockets. "Here you go. Your letter to Hogwarts." He handed the small boy the letter.

"Hogwarts? What is that?" Harry knew exactly what Hogwarts was. The founders told him. But, he couldn't show them that he knew, it would be suspicious.

Hagrid laughed, angering Harry. "The school your parents attended! Where do you think they learned it all?"

"Learned all.. what?"

"Magic of course! Didn't your aunt and uncle tell you?" The Dursleys backed away from the two wizards.

"No. They didn't. But that's because I can't be a wizard."

Hagrid grew angry. "Well, your parents were wizards, and so are you. Anyways, we better leave now. We need to get all of your school supplies."

With that, Hagrid grabbed some blue powder from his coat and threw it into the fire. Hagrid then grabbed Harry's arm and stepped in. "Daigon Alley." With that, the two wizards were gone, and the Dursleys were scared out of their minds.
