That scene changes to that night, it's storming and a small house, on a rock island in the sea, is shown on the screen. The camera pans inside of the house and we see Vernon and Petunia sleeping on a bed upstairs. Downstairs, Dudley is sleeping on the couch, and Harry is lying on the floor. Harry is shown drawing a birthday cake with the words 'Happy Birthday Harry' written on it. When he's done, he looks at Dudley's watch, which beeps as it turns 12:00

"Make a wish, Harry." He says to himself before blowing out the candles that he drew on the 'cake'

Harry's friends and family watch sadly, silently promising to spoil him on his birthdays from now on

Suddenly, the door thumps loudly, in sync with the thunder flashing. Harry and Dudley sit up, in fear. Harry jumps. The door thumps again, making Dudley and Harry jump up and back away. Harry hides behind a wall, and Dudley cowers on a windowsill. Petunia and Vernon are shown, slowly walking down the stairs, with Vernon holding a shotgun

"Who's there?!" Vernon asks in a small voice, he doesn't receive an answer before the door is broken open and falls to the ground, making Vernon and Dudley scream loudly

A giant man comes in and as we get a clear view, he reveals himself to be Rubeus Hagrid, from the first scene, "Sorry abou' that," he says as he picks the door up and puts it back where it was before he broke it down

"HAGRID," The great hall screams, minus a few bitter people

Vernon aims his gun at Hagrid before speaking angrily, "I demand that you leave at once, sir! You are breaking and entering!" Hagrid walks over to Vernon and Petunia, making Petunia whimper in fear

"Dry up, Dursley, you great prune," Hagrid says before bending the gun upwards, making it shoot at the ceiling, blasting a hole through it

The purebloods gasped in shock, at the damage that was caused

"What is that?" Adeline asks, curiously

"It's called a gun. It's a muggle invention that has little metal things called bullets, and when you shoot it, it can cause serious damage, sometimes even death," Celestia explains to her mother, what Hermione told her, ignoring the looks she got for knowing about muggle stuff

Hagrid walks away from them, and moves towards Dudley, "Mind, I haven' seen you since you was a baby, Harry. But yer a bit more along than I would have expected. Particularly 'round the middle." he laughs slightly

"I-I-I'm not Harry." Dudley stutters in fear

Harry moves from his hiding spot, "I-I am"

"Well, of course you are! Got somethin' for yeh. 'Fraid I might have sat on it at some point, but I imagine it'll taste fine just the same." Hagrid tells him before reaching in his pocket and pulling out a package, handing it to Harry, "Baked it myself, words and all"

Harry opens the box, and sees a cake with pink frosting, with the words 'Happee Birthdae Harry' in green frosting

"Oh, thank you, Hagrid!" Lily exclaims in tears as she holds Harry close to her

"Thank you!" Harry thanks him

"It's not every day that yer young man turns 11, now is it? Aye?" Hagrid smiles at him, before taking a seat on the sofa, taking his umbrella out, pointing it at the empty fireplace, and starting a fire in it

The Dursley family gasps as Harry watches with wide eyes. He puts his cake down, and turns to address Hagrid, "Excuse me, who are you?" He asks cautiously

"Rubeus Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts. O' course, yeh'll know all about Hogwarts."

"Sorry, no," Harry replies nonchalantly with a shake of his head
