Belle's POV

I followed Hagrid out to his motorcycle that was sitting out front. He handed me a helmet and lifted me up into the cart that could hold two people it was so big. I put the helmet on and buckled the seat belt.

"Hold on tight Miss Belle." He smiled and revved the engine. I waved to my family as the motorcycle took flight. I gasped.

"Hagrid, you never told me that this thing could fly!"

Hagrid gave a hearty laugh. "Don't worry about air sickness. We are almost at our next stop."

I frowned. "What do you mean next stop?"

       Hagrid smiled. "We have another person to pick up. His name is Harry Potter. It's his birthday today too."

       I raised my eyebrows and nodded. "A birthday twin? How old is he?"

       Hagrid sighed. "That's the thing. He's eleven too. He was born not five minutes after yeh, Miss Belle."

       I sighed. "Hagrid, I told you before. I'm Belle. No Miss before it." I smiled at him. Suddenly, as if we just turned it on, it started raining. We landed on the road next to the sea. Hagrid helped me out and leads me down to a boat. He climbs in, me after him and we float easily across the deadly waves. I frowned at the hut on the rock that we ended up at.

       "Hagrid?" I shouted over the wind.

       "Hold on, Belle! Let's go up." He climbed up the rock to the hut and helped me up. He knocked on the door. No answer. He knocked again. Suddenly he knocked so hard the door broke off. I jumped.

       "Hagrid!" I whispered furiously.

       He only grinned sheepishly before walking in. I walked in after him. I peeked around Hagrid and saw a very plump boy sitting on the couch, fright written all over his red face. A boy was on the ground and he looked exactly like the man from one of the picture frames. The man with the unkempt black hair and thick glasses. Except, this boy had a lightning bolt shaped scar. Two people came out from the bedroom and looked at Hagrid with fear in their eyes.

Hagrid smiled. "Happy birthday to yeh Harry." He pulled out a cake like the one he gave me but this box was smushed. "I might'a sat on it at some point but I reckon it'll taste just the same."

The boy, Harry, took the box and I decided now would be a good time to make myself known. I walked around Hagrid, standing next to him. I smiled at Harry who was looking at me with awe in his gaze. "Happy birthday, Harry. I'm Belle, and today is my birthday too!"

Harry looked at the both of us. "I'm sorry, but I still don't understand what is going on."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Yer a wizard Harry." I looked up at Hagrid, shocked. Way to lay it on him. The poor boy looked confused and lost. The same way I must have looked. I smiled.

"Don't worry Harry, I found out the same way."

The Dursleys, who I soon found out were terrible people, gasped. The old man looked outraged. "I forbid you to tell the boy anymore!"

Hagrid laughed, unamused. "I don't take orders from unearthly muggles like yourself, Dursley, you great prune."

I waved Harry over. He quickly ran over and sat next to me. "How did you deal with them for eleven years?"

He shrugged. "I'm actually not quite sure." He smiled gratefully and watched as Hagrid used magic to give the fatter boy a pig tail. I stifled a laugh. I looked over at Harry who also looked like he was trying not to laugh. All three Dursleys ran into the bedroom and Hagrid smiled smugly before leading us out to the boat.

"Alright, since I got the both of yeh, we had better get to London so we can get your school equipment." Hagrid said thoughtfully.

I smiled. "Okay! Let's go! I am so very excited!" I was bouncing with excitement. As soon as we got to the motorcycle, Hagrid helped Harry and I into the cart and we put helmets on and buckled the seatbelt before Hagrid took off into the sky. Harry was only surprised at the flying car as where I was air sick.
