THE KEEPER OF THE KEYS
BOOM.
They knocked again. Dudley jerked awake.
"Where's the cannon?" he said stupidly."
"... Let's be honest here. Anything he's said has either been stupid or downright bratty," Nico says, earning a grin from Will.
There was a crash behind them, and Uncle Vernon came skidding into the room. He was holding a rifle in his hands - now they knew what had been in the long, thin package he had brought with them.
"What in the hell! You don't bring out guns in front of children!" Persephone rages.
"Who's there?" he shouted. "I warn you, I'm armed!"
There was a pause. Then -
SMASH!
The door was hit with such force that it swung clean off its hinges and, with a deafening crash, landed flat on the floor.
"Damn," Percy mutters at the strength shown.
A giant of a man was standing in the doorway. His face was almost completely hidden by a long, shaggy mane of hair and a wild, tangled beard, but you could make out his eyes, glinting like black beetles under all the hair.
"Hagrid!" Those who went/go to hogwarts cheered, bar Draco.
The giant squeezed his way into the hut, stooping so that his head just brushed the ceiling. 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.
"Couldn't make us a cup o' tea, could yeh? It's not been an easy journey...."
The wizards, as well as a few demigods, laugh at the contrasting behavior shown, breaking a door down only to politely ask for a cup of tea.
He strode over to the sofa where Dudley sat frozen with fear.
"Budge up, yeh great lump," said the stranger.
Dudley squeaked and ran to hide behind his mother, who was crouching, terrified, behind Uncle Vernon.
"Pussy," Clarisse sneered and many agree with her.
"An' here's Hyacinth!" said the giant.
Hyacinth looked up into the fierce, wild, shadowy face and saw that the beetle eyes were crinkled in a smile.
"Las' time I saw you, you was only a baby," said the giant. "Yeh look a lot like yer dad, but yeh've got yer mom's eyes."
Uncle Vernon made a funny rasping noise.
"I demand that you leave at once, sir!" he said. "You are breaking and entering!"
"Ah, shut up, Dursley, yeh great prune," said the giant;
"Hagrid!" Sirius gasped in mock outrage, before falling apart in laughter.
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.
Uncle Vernon made another funny noise, like a mouse being trodden on.
"The poor animals they keep getting compared to," Katie Gardener, daughter of Demeter, says with pity in her tone.
