Boom!! The front door gets busted down and in the door way stands an abnormally large figure. Uncle Vermon comes running in with a riffle with Aunt Petunia at his heels. Pig has backed away into a corner.  

Vermon: Whoever you are, I warn you at once. I am armed.

Dudley: It's the elephant man!!

I giggled at that

Ivy: Pig don't be daft of course it's not the elephant man.

Dudley: Do the roar

I laughed again. 

The giant man now walked into the room. His face was almost completely hidden by a long, shaggy mane of hair and a wild, tangled beard, However you could make out his eyes, glinting like black beetles under all the hair.He bent down, picked up the door, and fitted it easily back into its frame. The noise of the storm outside dropped a little. He turned to look at them all then slowly made his way over to the corner where Dudley was. 

???: Ahh Harry there you are. You're a little further along than I expected.

Dudley: Daddy he's fat shaming me.

I laughed again

???: Well you are the one who called me the elephant man. And you

He turns to look at me 

???: you must be Ivy

Ivy: Yea and that's not Harry that's Pig. This is Harry.

I shove Harry forwards.

???: Well thank goodness for that. sorry about  that Harry. Hang on I have something for the 2 of you. It might be a bit squashed. Ah ha

The strange man produces a squashed cake that read Happy birthday Ivy and Harry!!

Ivy: Thank you but who are you?

???: ahh yes I probably should induce myself I'm Hagrid, Gamekeeper at Hogwarts.

Hagrid beams at us. We just stare back confused.

Harry: Game - what

Ivy: of ....What?

Hagrid: Gamekeeper keeper of the keys you know what I mean At Hogwarts.

Ivy and Harry: at... where?

Hagrid: Hogwarts don't tell me you've never heard of Hogwarts.

Vermon: I forbid you to say anymore

Hagrid :Ah, shut up, Dursley, yeh great prune 

He reached over the back of the sofa, jerked the gun out of Uncle Vernon's hands, bent it into a knot as easily as if it had been made of rubber, and threw it into a corner of the room.

Hagrid: Think about what I could do ter you. 

Hagrid  turns back to look at us

Hagrid: Yeh know all about Hogwarts I suppose

Ivy: Err no

Hagrid looked shocked

Harry: sorry

Hagrid: sorry it's those Dursleys that should be sorry! I knew yer guys weren't gettin' those letters but yer don't even know what Hogwarts is. Well where d'ya yer parents learned it all

Harry: Learned what all.

Hagrid looked livid

Hagrid. Learned what all. now wait jus' one second

He was so angry you could feel his anger from a mile away. He turned to the Dursleys and right then I knew they were gon' get it.

Hagrid: Yer mean to tell me. Tha' they don' know anything!!
