The big three at Hogwarts!

Harry

Harry's POV

I was laid on the floor of the old run down shack in the middle of the sea with nothing but a thin, ratty blanket to keep we warm. I drew a cake in the dust before counting down the seconds until my birthday. When the clock struck twelve, I blew the dust and wished, I wished someone would save me from the abusive people that call themselves my family.

Suddenly, a bang came from the door. fearing the worst, I hid by the fireplace. The door was on the floor shortly after. My cousin, Dudley Dursley, shot up and stupidly said, "Where's the cannon?". My aunt Petunia and uncle Vernon raced in. Vernon was holding a gun in his large, beefy hands.

The man in the doorway was large, like the size of 2 fully grown men tall and 3 wide. I stayed hidden. Vernon tried threatening the man with the gun but the man just ripped it out of his hands, tied it in a knot and threw it to the side. He then turned to Dudley. " 'Arry, yeh've grown, las' time I saw yeh, yeh was a baby." I almost laughed, Dudley, me ha!

Dudley just stuttered, "I-I'm not H-Harry!" and pointed in my direction "T-That's Harry." I saw no point in hiding any longer and stepped out. "H-hello, sir," I said to the man. "O'  'course 'Arry, yeh look exac'ly like yer father, but yeh've got yer mother's eyes," he said kindly to me.

Then he produced a cake from one of his many pockets and said, "Happy birthday 'Arry, I think I might've sat on it at some point but I reckon it'll taste fine all the same. It's not every day you turn 11!". he handed the slightly squished cake to me. It was covered in pink buttercream icing with the words; 'Happy Birthday Harry' piped messily in green icing on the top.

I took the cake and thanked the man. "um excuse me, sir, who exactly are you?" I asked politely to the man. "Oh, I'm Rubeus Hagrid, keeper of keys at Hogwarts. You'll know all 'bout Hogwarts I 'spect." he replied.

"What is Hogwarts Hagrid?" I asked. Then Hagrid asked, "Blimey, 'Arry don't you wonder where your parents learnt it all?". "All what?" was my next question. then Hagrid went into a huge explanation on how I'm a wizard and got really angry when uncle Vernon insulted a man named Albus Dumbledore, then he gave Dudley a pig's tail. It was hilarious!

 ~~~In the morning~~~

I didn't want to open my eyes in the morning. any minute, aunt petunia would come to my cupboard to wake me up so I would make breakfast. The softer-than-my-bed but the harder-than-most surface under me and the heavy, warm weight on top of me made me realise I was wrong, it wasn't a dream! This crazy reality was actually real! 

I re-read the letter that Hagrid gave me the night before. I couldn't believe it, I was a wizard and apparently famous for defeating the person who killed my parents before I could walk. I didn't want to be famous, I really didn't. I hate being the centre of attention, who wouldn't after living a life of abuse, neglect and bullying all the time.

Hagrid then woke to an owl delivering a newspaper and sent a letter to Professor Dumbledore. He made breakfast of sausages on a roaring fire. I could only manage one before being full but I appreciated the food greatly.

Thalia's POV

It was twelve 'o' clock on the 31st of July when the boys decided to play a prank on me whilst I was sleeping. Using Percy's powers, they pulled water out of my glass and suspended it above me before separating part of it and putting it up my left nostril, when that woke me up, Percy released the rest of the water effectively soaking me and my previously warm, comforting bed. They then just stood there laughing before I stood up summoning electricity to my fingertips.
