"Good, yer awake." Said a gruff voice.

"Hagrid?"  I asked, feeling drowsy.

"I came ter see if ye was alri'" He said cheerily.

"I'm just feeling a little sore, that's all."

"Madame Pomfrey came by ter tell ye ye can leave, bu' ye was still asleep."  He gave a small laugh.

"Hagrid, how long have you been there for?"  I asked him.  I wasn't keen on the  idea that he was watching me sleep.

"Ony' bout five minutes or so." He responded.  I gave a sigh of relief.  That wasn't too bad.

"I was wondering if ye wanted to come down ter my hut fer a cup o' tea."  He said, sounding rehearsed.

I was a bit hesitant, not sure if I was up to going down to his hut.

"Ter be honest, I've got something ter show ye."  He added in a whisper.

Now I was more hesitant, but I agreed.  "Meet me at my hut in 10 minutes." He said, as he got up to leave.

"See you then Hagrid" I called after him.

Madame Pomfrey noticed I was awake and hurried over to tend to me.

"You can leave the hospital wing today dear, but you've got to  take this first."  She handed me a bottle of chunky liquid.  I wasn't sure what was floating in it, but I wasn't too keen to find out, so I swallowed it as fast as I could, trying not to taste it.

"Now y/n you need to take it easy.  I can tell your still sore, so don't go overdoing it.  That's an order." Her stern voice echoed through the hospital wing.  I nodded and hurriedly left the room.


I met Hagrid at his hut and saw that Sam and Abbey were there too.  When Abbey saw me, she gave me a big hug.  I grimaced.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry y/n.  i didn't mean to hurt you."  She squealed.

"I'm okay, just a little sore is all."  I replied.  

"Arch and his goons got detention for what they did."  Sam said.

"We better get going then!"  Hagrid boomed in his usual cheery voice.  We followed Hagrid uncertainly, taking 3 steps for every 1 of his.

We looked at each other nervously.  We were headed towards the forbidden forest.

"Hagrid," I asked. "What exactly are you taking us to see?  You know the forest is off limits."

"You'll see soon enough, just be patient."  Hagrid said.  I could tell eh was grinning.

Faint rustling came from deep in the forest.  Hagrid had taken us into the forest many a time before, but something about the way he spoke told me the thing he was going to show us, was big.
