The Girl who Lived: Hannela Potter and the Sorcerers Stone

Chapter 3: Hagrid

I do not own any characters other than Hannela Potter. All credits go to J.K. Rowling for the other characters. Now, enjoy!

We moved to a tall house, on a rock island somewhere out at sea. Everyone is sleeping but us. I and Harry lay on the cold, dirt floor awaiting our birthday. We drew two cakes on the dirt, one saying, "Happy Birthday, Harry!" And the other, "Happy Birthday Hannela!" I glanced at Dudley who was sleeping on the couch. I eyed his watch noticing 15 more seconds before our birthday.

"10"

"9"

"8"

"7"

"6"

"5"

"4"

"3"

"2"

"1"

"Happy birthday, Harry!"

"Happy birthday, Emma!"

"Harry, I got you something." I quickly took out one of the letters and shoved it to him.

We both blow the imaginary candles and we started opening the letters when all of a sudden,
𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐌.
𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐌.
𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐌.

Harry and I jumped. We quickly hid in a corner, while Dudley was petrified. Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia quickly came downstairs with a shotgun.

The door came flying down and a giant looking man came in.

"Sorry 'bout that, " the giant looking man said while attempting to fix the door.

"I demand that you leave at once, sir! You are breaking and entering!" Uncle Vernon aimed the gun at him.

"Dry up, Dursley, you great prune." the giant bent the gun upwards and a shot fired.

A million questions flooded my head. I was amazed. How can one have the power to do that? And who is that guy? What is he doing here?

He glanced at Dudley, "Boy, I haven't seen you since you were a baby, Harry, but you're a bit more along than I would have expected. Particularly 'round the middle! And where's ya sister?"

What? What did he want with us? No one wants us.

Harry grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the corner.

"U- um... we are Harry and Hannela Potter.."

"Oh, well, of course ya are! Got something for ya. 'Fraid I might have sat on it at some point! I imagine that it'll taste fine just the same. Baked it myself."

He hands us a cake box.

"Oh thank you." I said while elbowing Harry in the stomach, "Say thank you," I muttered.

"It's not every day that ya turn eleven, now is it?"

"Yeah, thanks and who are you?" Asked Harry.

"Rubeus Hagrid. Keeper of keys and grounds at Hogwarts. Course, you'll know all about Hogwarts."

"Um, actually.. we didn't get a chance to open the letter."

"No? Blimey, didn't you lot ever wonder where your mum and dad learned it all."

"Learned what?" I asked. "Math?"

"No! Ya are a witch and harry ya a wizard! Read ya letter!"

Harry opened the letter and started reading, "Dear, Mr. and Ms. Potter. We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts' School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"They'll not be going! We swore when we took them in, we'd put a stop to this rubbish!"Vernon shouted.

"Wait! You knew and you never told us!? Why?" I howled at them.

"Of course we knew. How could you not be? My perfect sister being who she was. Oh, my mother and father were so proud the day she got her letter. We have a witch in the family. Isn't it wonderful? I was the only one to see her for what she was. A freak! And then she met that Potter, and then she had you brats, and I knew you'd be just the same, just as strange, just as ... abnormal. And then, if you please, she went and got herself blown up. And we got landed with you." said Petunia.

I was furious. How could they!? "Wait, blown up?! You said they died in a car crash!"

"Well, we had to tell you something!" Petunia shouted. "They will not be going!" howled Uncle Vernon.

"Oh, and I suppose a great Muggle like yourself's going to stop him, are you?" chuckled Hagrid.

"Um, excuse me, sir, what's a muggle?" asked Harry and me in confusion.

"Nonmagic folk" answered Hagrid. "They are going to the finest school of witchcraft and wizardry in the world, and he'll be under the finest headmaster that Hogwarts has ever seen: Albus Dumbledore."

I smiled. I was so excited! I'm going to learn magic. I'm going to get away from the Dursleys! Can this day get any better? But that all vanished when I heard Uncle Vernon speak

"I will not pay for some crackpot old fool to teach them some silly magic tricks!"

I saw Hagrids face gone from angry to furious.
"Never, insult Albus Dumbledore, in front of me."

He then glanced at Dudley, who I've forgotten about, and pointed his umbrella at his rear. A magic spark fired out of it and cause Dudley to grow a pigtail.

I and Harry howled in laughter while the Dursleys ran out of the house screaming.

"Oh, don't tell anyone about that." he winked. We quickly nodded while he glanced at his watch.

"Ooh, we're a bit behind schedule. Best be off."

We just started at him till he said, "Well you coming or what?"!

"Yea!" we said in unison.

Hi, so I hoped you guys enjoyed this! Thanks for reading!
