Hey guys Aislynn here! Welcome to the first chapter of Albus Potter and the Children of Prophecy. This is my first story here on fanfiction but it is not the first story I have ever written. I hope you all like the story and i would love if you left a review. I like to hear people's opinions whether they are good or bad. Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter although I wish i did. This applies to the whole story except for a few characters that are mine. Any character, place, or spell that were in any of the Harry Potter books or films all belong to the wonderful J. K. Rowling not me.
Hagrid awoke to the sun shining bright in his small hut. He blinked twice and stretched his arms out wide. Finally he stood up and walked to his calendar. The day was September 1st. New Hogwarts students would be flowing in at the end of the day. Hagrid had gotten all of his work done the day before. Giving a long yawn Hagrid got dressed in his usual attire.
Fang II awoke shortly after. She stretched and gave a long yawn. Waging her tail she ran to the door and waited for Hagrid to open it. Hagrid walked out of the hut while Fang II ran into the Forbidden Forest. Fang II was nothing like the original Fang. She feared nothing and attacked things head on. She was only two years old but was the size of a full grown dog.
Hagrid was heading to the log pile. The house elves had requested more wood for the fire so they can cook more for tonight's feast. He looked up at the school as he gathered the wood. Years ago the school was nearly burned down by 'He Who Should Not Be Named'. Now thanks to magic the school was good as new.
Hagrid had gathered the wood in his arms and headed to the school. He hadn't gotten far when he heard Fang II howling in the forest. This howl was different than most. It sounded alert like she was in danger. Worried Hagrid put the wood down and went to grab his club. After grabbing it along with his lantern he headed into the Forbidden Forest to see what was the matter.
Fang came pounding toward him. She jumped up and down frantically. "What is it Fang girl?" Fang grabbed Hagrid's sleeve and pulled him deeper into the forest. They were heading down an uncharted path. The sound of hooves was heard behind Hagrid. He lifted his club ready to attack when he saw it was an innocent satyr.
"Hagrid!" He yelled out of breath. "There's…in the forest…..the animals found…." The young satyr said.
"Show me what you're talking' bout." The satyr lead Hagrid further down the path. Fang II ran ahead trying to claim the discovery as her own. Finally they came upon a circle of trees. All sorts of creature; unicorns, centaurs, deer, spiders and many others gathered around a strange object. They broke apart when they saw Hagrid near. On the forest floor lay a small basket. Something was moving and making noise in it. Hagrid slowly walked toward the basket. He looked in it and was surprised at what he saw. A little baby lay in the basket. It looked to be not much other than a year old. The baby watched everything with curiosity.
Hagrid reached a finger toward it. The baby giggled and touched his finger. The young thing had light brown hair and blue eyes that looked at everything.
"A baby? In the forest? How did you find her?" Hagrid asked the satyr.
"I felt something pulling me toward this spot. I followed the other animals and we ended up here."
Hagrid picked up the basket. The baby smiled at him even more. "Do you have a name?" He looked around but found nothing that marked a name. "I'll take that as a no." Holding the baby reminded Hagrid of when he held little Harry so many years before. "I'd call you Harriet but you don't look like a Harriet."
It was then that Hagrid remember what the circle of trees was called. The circle was called Willow's circle. "How about Willow?" The baby's eyes widened happily and giggled even more. "I think you like that name."
He turned to the satyr. "I'll take her to the headmaster. She'll know what to do with the little baby. Good day." Hagrid bid fair well to the satyr and creatures. Fang II followed Hagrid and ran ahead. Hagrid held basket gently in his arms and headed toward the school. Baby Willow fell asleep in the half-giants arms.
