Harry's Extratarrestrial Adventures

Chapter 3

Harry woke up to the sound of Ron's snoring, groggier than usual. Why was he groggier than usual?

Well, it had been a while since the centaur incident and while on a stroll through the Forbidden forest as Heatblast, it seemed the Acromantula wanted revenge, so he got tired out burning hundreds of Acromantula, big and small alike to a crisp.

That would usually tire quite a lot of people out and he was no exception.

'Ugh, what was I supposed to do today?' Harry thought drearily. After a few moments of thought he realised.

'Maybe I could visit Hagrid.' Harry thought as he got dressed into some casual clothing.

The Gryffindor Common Room was practically empty due to how early it was and he could see no-one he truly recognised.

He trudged down the constantly moving steps, careful to avoid the trick step and continued on to Hagrid's house. He passed Draco along the way, but neither were particularly were in the mood to converse or taunt each other, so they paid no mind to each other and went on.

Harry soon arrived at Hagrid's house where the gentle giant could be seen dandling some of those explosive slugs that Harry couldn't remember the name of.

"Oh 'ey 'arry! 'ows it goin'?" Hagrid greeted as he saw the boy.

"Eh, nothing much really. Just wanted to come and visit and see how you are doing." Harry replied.

"Tha's nice of ye 'arry. I'm doin' quite alrigh' m'self. Say 'arry, d' ye thin' I c'n ask yea 'uge favour?" Hagrid asked.

"Of course. What is it?"

"Well, since yer no' goin' on th' 'ogsmeade trip, I figured ye could 'elp me out with teachin'." While Hagrid didn't openly say it, Harry knew what he meant.

"Ok then. Just make sure to cover up the symbol and it's fine." Harry answered. While Harry wasn't too open to the idea of revealing himself like that, if the symbol was covered or concealed there would be no way it could be traced back to him unless someone saw him transform.

"Oh 'arry, thanks fer agreein' t' helpin'!" Hagrid said as he leaned down and enveloped Harry in a massive hug.

"Ok Hagrid, you can let go now. I need to turn into something first." Harry gasped as he started to lose air in his lungs. Hagrid let go as Harry took a moment to get his breath back before he pressed a button on the watch to make the face plate go up and reveal an unknown silhouette.

After turning the dial a few times it landed on a silhouette he recognised.

'Maybe this'll work?' Harry thought as he pressed the dial down. The familiar green flash was then accompanied straight after and died down just as quickly revealing Harry to be in his centaur form.

Harry stumbled a bit due to the chnge from two legs to four but quickly got his bearings, meanwhile Hagrid was staring in amazement.

"I'll never ge' use' t' tha'." Hagrid said with a smile. Harry smiled in return and trotted up to him. He was about just below to Hagrid's abdomen from ground to head but he didn't mind. the only forms he was the same height or more than Hagrid was his giant form, Humongasaur and Four Arms.

"So Hagrid, will this be ok?" Harry asked. He grabbed a piece of cloth and wrapped it around his waist as to cover the symbol.

"Perfect 'arry." Hagrid replied. "Oh, there come th' class now." He added as he noticed a bundle of 5th years come.

As the class got there Hagrid greeted them and said, "Good t' see ye class, t'day we'll be studying wit' a g'd friend o' mine."

Harry trotted away from Hagrid's back and in front of them. He may have been half a head taller then even the tallest student Harry was still shy of the fact that he would be studied, so he hid behind Hagrid again.
