Rise of Hadrian D. Pendragon (Book 1)

Yer A Wizard Harry

"Make a wish Harry" Hadrian stated to himself looking at the cake with candles he just drew in the dirt on the ground. Thump Thump Thump.

Startling the entire family awake in their little shack located in the middle of nowhere on the ocean. "What could that be Vernon?" Petunia asked worriedly, holding onto Vernon's arm.

Thump Thump Thump, there it was again that pounding. Could it be the storm that's brewing outside? Getting up quickly Hadrian hid behind the pillar of the fireplace out of sight from everyone including the Dursleys. Thump Thump Thump CRASH! The door came tumbling down crashing onto the ground. A giant man bent over and walked into the shack. "Sorry about that." he mumbled. Bending over he picked the door up and reset it back into the doorframe.

"I demand you leave at once. You are breaking and entering." Vernon stated furiously. Well that door is broken for good.

The giant man walked over to where Vernon was standing, "Draw ye up Dursley ye great prune." The giant man glanced around, "Blimey harry the last time ey seen ye, ye wer a baby." The giant man was surprised looking at Dudley. "Yer a bit more round than ey expected particularly around the middle"

"I-I-I-I'm not H-H-Harry.." Dudley stuttered out.

"I-I-I am." Hadrian stated, coming out from his hiding space.

"Well of course ye are." The giant man stated gently, "Ey have somethin. Afraid ey might have sat on it a little. But it's all the same. Ey baked it myself words and all." He stated digging around in his pockets. He returns with a squished white box. "It's not everyday yer young lad turns eleven now is it?"

Hadrian opened the box and glanced inside. Seeing a cake with the words Happy Birthday Harry inscribed on top, he swallows. "Thank you." glancing up he sees the giant man light the fire only using an umbrella. Staring Wide eyed at the man. How'd he do that? "Excuse me, who are you?" Hadrian questioned.

"Rubeus Hagrid. Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts. Of course you know all about Hogwarts." Hagrid smiled a little. Only for the smile to fall off his face with Hadrian's next statement.

"Sorry no." Hadrian shook his head in the negative. Of course I know where mum and da learned their magic. I'm not an idiot. Shit I need to portray idiocy though. This drags!

"No?" Hagrid frowns. "Didn't ye ever wonder where yer mom and dad learned it all?"

"Learned what?" Hadrian questioned. I swear playing stupid is rather annoying. Just have to keep it up. Just a little longer.

"Yer a wizard Harry," Hagrid stated bluntly.

No shit sherlock! God this man makes me feel smart and yet stupid at times. Crap, don't lose the face! "I'm A What?" Hadrian stares wide eyed at Hagrid simply puzzled by the sentence.

"A wizard. And a thumpin good one at that. Once ye train up a little." Hagrid nods to himself thinking he managed to get Hadrian on board with just going to school.

"NO! I'm sorry. I can't be a-a wizard. That's impossible! I'm just Harry. Just Harry." Can I get a gold medal nomination just for my acting alone? God's this is impossibly easy to accomplish.

"Well just harry. Have ye ever done anything? When ye wer sad or angry? Somethin ye couldn't explain?" Hagrid gives a nod and stands up. Digging through his pockets again he procures an envelope and hands that to Hadrian.

This is an identical one to the one I got a few days ago... Who is my mysterious benefactor that warned me ahead of time about the events taking place right now? Crap I should probably start reading the letter.
