A Potter and a Malfoy ✔️

2| Letters

I woke up to Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon yelling and arguing. I listened carefully and heard something about more letters for Harry and I.

"Natalie are you awake?" Harry asked groggily.

"Mhm." I responded trying to hear more of the conversation.

"What are we going to do about this? It's getting out of hand!" Aunt Petunia yelled.

"We are just going to have to block all ways of entering this house." Uncle Vernon walked off and came back about five minutes later with power tools and began using them near the front door.

"What is he doing?" Harry asked sitting up.

"I think he's blocking the mail slit." I also sat up. We got dressed and knocked on the door. Aunt Petunia opened it and we left.

We didn't have to make breakfast this morning so Aunt Petunia got the eggs out and began cracking them but instead of an egg coming out, it was a letter.

"What the..?" She tried again but same thing. She tried until all the eggs were gone. The house suddenly rumbled and the chimney started flooding with the same letter. Harry and I tried one to read but Uncle Vernon dragged us away.

================================

We spent the rest of the night in a small shed-like building. It was nighttime and it also happened to be Harry and I's birthday.

"Happy birthday Natalie." Harry whispered.

"Happy birthday Harry." I whispered back.

There was suddenly a loud knock at the door. Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia, and Dudley sat up in shock as the door fell down.

A big shadow looked over the dimly lit doorframe. Uncle Vernon demanded that he left at once but he just walked past him and came over to Harry and I.

Harry shielded me from the man. "Hiya Harry and Natalie." The man gave us a warm smile that illuminated the room.

"H-hi." I managed to get out.

"My name is Hagrid Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts." The man, Hagrid, introduced himself.

"Hogwarts? What is that?" Harry asked.

"Hogwarts. The school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Ring a bell?" Hagrid asked and we shook our heads.

He turned around and started talking to Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon. I couldn't concentrate on what was going on because I still couldn't get over the part about a school for magic.

I snapped back to reality when Dudley screamed. He had grown what looked like a rat tail! "I almost forgot!" Hagrid turned back to us. "Happy birthday!" He took out a cake in a while box and we opened it. "Might be a little smushed." He added.

"No, it's perfect." I smiled genuinely.

"Yeah thank you Hagrid." Harry thanked him.

"Right well ready to get going?" Hagrid asked.

"Going? Where?" I asked.

"Off to Hogwarts of course!" He turned and began leading us out of the small shack.

================================

Hagrid had taken us to this place where there were tons of magical shops. At first, it was regular shops then we went into a bar and met one of the professors at Hogwarts.

In the bar, we went into a back room and Hagrid tapped on a brick wall with his umbrella wand thingy.

The wall opened up and now we are in this place. Hagrid was reading a list of things we will need for our school year but I was in awe and didn't hear. He had told us the story of our parents and how we were as famous as we are.
