As Harry was visited by Hagrid, Hagrid was in the company of another boy. Together those two face the mysteries of Hogwarts as Harry tries and solve the mystery around his first friend (No, not Ron) and Dumbledore tries to influence those two.

Disclaimer: I obviously don't own Harry Potter but they are still great books!


And the door fell, revealing a rather large or more huge man with a beard masking half his face. Harry didn't know how to place that entrance that has woken up the Dursleys as his pig of a cousin scrambled from the couch where he was previously sleeping and tried to quickly get up while Uncle Vernon with Aunt Petunia poltered down the stairs from their beds and Vernon pointing the gun at the huge bearded man, who seemed unimpressed as he entered leaving the door open but turned around as the soft voice of a child adressed him.


"Hagrid, you can't just barge in like that. At least hinge the door back properly." Harry looked from the man to the small boy behind said man and took in the not so normal appearance from the boy. He seemed to be Harrys age and had long black hair to his hips. His eyes seemed to mirrow the fight of ocean and heaven this night and as he locked his eyes with Harrys green one he grinned at him.


The man, Hagrid was it? Hanged the door in its place with just one of his hands and then sat down on the only mobilar in the room as the other boy strolled towards Harry and offered him a hand to stand up. Harry took the hand with mild curiosity and looked at the boy and man quizically before he proceeded to say what he and his relatives obviously thought.


"Who are you?"

"'m Rubeus Hagrid, just call me Hagrid and I'm the gamekeeper of Hogwarts which you naturally know all about..."

"Sorry but no."

"That's okay. You grew up with muggles." said the boy who came with this Hagrid and gave said man a look that clearly told 'what did you think' before speaking again. "My name is Cenka Feniks by the way. Also new student at Hogwarts. Hagrid picked me up before we came here collecting you to get our supplies for school."

"What school exactly are the both of you on about?" asked Harry trying to detect some kind of joke.

"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy. Didn't you got a letter?" asked Cenka calmly.

"I got a letter adressed to me precisley but I didn't get the chance to read it yet."

"Oh, explains a lot what happened with the letters?"


Harry was just about to answer Rico when he got cut off a shrieking Petunia and a very scared Vernon who pointed his gun towards Hagrid as he couldn't point a gun at just a kid. Cenkas head immediatly turned to the pair with a calculating look replaced the curious one he had as he looked at Harry.

"He will not go to that school! We have spend almost a decade to beat the freakishness out of him!" at the part where Petunia shrieked out the 'beat the freakishness out' Cenkas eyes narrowed dangerously even Harry could feel his anger at these words from the other boy while Dudley absolutley clueless grinned widley at Harry remembering although he stopped as Cenka proceeded with glaring at the fat pig of a cousin. Hagrid in the meantime didn't got angry he just bended the rifle so that you couldn't shoot out of it and made a fire with his pink umbrella.


"Deal with it, no one coul' keep Harry Potter out of Hogwarts. His name was marked since his birth and I doubt that a muggle coul' keep him from Hogwarts." as he reached down and seemed to search something then a moment later he pulled out a sausages paket and a tea can with cups and a glass and a bottle with alcohol and still seemed to search something till he looked to the boy he brought with him.

"Cenka you didn' steal again the letter?" at this the boy grinned innocently and reached down to one of his own pockets and pulled out a letter which he gave to Harry who saw it was adressed to him before Cenka answered Hagrid still with an innocent smile in place.

"Again? It was the whole time in my possesion you just didn't check. To my defense: It's just magic!" with this both Cenka and Hagrid laughed and Harry noticed while Hagrid laughed a rather rough laugh the boy was more just chuckling which still sounded melodic to him. When Cenka looked again at Harry he encouraged him to read the letter


Dear Mr. Harry Potter,

We would like to welcome you to our school. It starts on 1st of September and you would be starting the first year this year seeing as you have turned eleven. We would also like to mention that you can spend your holidays here at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy besides this letter is a list of the neccessary books and things you would need for this year.

We would like an acception letter per owl post.

Secondary headmaster of Hogwarts

Minerva McGonnagall


As it said there was a list of books and other neccessary items but Harry got interested in getting a wand.

"Hagrid I believe you should write a letter that Harry got the letter and that we would go tomorrow buying these things on the list?" Cenka stated and Hagrid immeadiatly searched for a owl in his various pockets and a piece of parchment. While Cenka got back to Harry, in his mind starting a conversation with the boy who still seemed shellshocked by it all.


"Hey I know your name from the later but still I think its better when you get the chance to intruduce yourself but I should warn you the name Harry Potter is pretty popular in the wizarding world."

"Why is that? I don't remember anything to do with a wizarding world..."

Cenka looked at the boy than tapped his forehead on the exact same spot were Harrys scar was and said with a somewhat apologetic look in his eyes but still a small smile on his lips.

"Do you know how your parents died?" at this even the Dursleys looked up panically to Cenka it was obvious that they had intended to hid it and Hagrid stood promtly up and got stright to the door with the owl and did throw the owl in the raging storm while Harry thought just to say what was said to him it would maybe be revealed to him tonight.


"They said" finger pointing towards the Dursleys "that my parents died in a car crash from which I received the scar on my forhead, they also said they were drunk when that accident occured." At this Hagrid looked wide eyed at Harry then looked clearly angry at the Dursleys while Cenka thought it was better to just tell the truth to his could-be friend.


"Well, it certainly wasn't an accident that led to the death of your parents who by the way were both magical and attended Hogwarts. I know because I asked Hagrid about that theme which is a pretty popular discussion in the magical world. They were killed." Cenka waited as he saw that Harry has to properly chew that through and rather gave the boy a comforting hug.

"W-w-who?" Harry asked weakly he couldn't believe that his family was killed that he was because of this murder left to his own deveices at the Dursleys. He hoped at least he learned who that murderer was but he was sure he has to formulate a longer question than that single word.


Cenka who caught up with Harry who was still in his arms leaning into the comforting touch said the answer as best as he can so that the little underfed boy wont break.

"The Dark Lord, the darkest wizard to exist till now but he was destroyed as he attempted to kill you and that left you with the title Boy-Who-Lived a symbol of the Light and his attack left you with that scar as you are the only one to ever survive the killing curse."


Harry gulped that was much information in one night but he also realized that even when Cenka knew what he was famous for he just saw him not an ideal figure of peace and light. He then realized that he was in Cenkas arms who was still hugging him like a good friend or even family memeber would do when he was let down, not that Harry exactly knew what to make of it. Maybe just maybe he gained a friend? His musings were interupted as Cenka suddenly changed topics as if it was common to do and strangley enough Harry was glad that Cenka did that.


"We still got to give you Birthday presents, don't we?" with that Cenka pulled out a leatherband in silver, gold, green and red "Happy Birthday, Harry. That is by the way a speciafically made item by me. I decided I would only give it to someone which I consider a real friend. I know we only know each other for minutes but I get the feeling we will get along quite good actually don't you think?"

"Wow... Thanks, Cenka. I think we will get along rather well in the future."

"Got somehtin' for you too, Harry." stated Hagrid as he pulled out a carton which contained a baked birthday cake for Harry who put it aside for now more interested in something warm. Harry thanked Hagrid too and as they have began to eat the sausages and drank little tea Harry felt himself welcomed and began relaxing.


Obviously the Dursleys didn't like it that Harry has found something to enjoy and disturbed the peace the three of them were having.

"Why do you think we will allow him to go to that school full of freaks with a completly dumb and barmy old man as headmaster!" Harry immediatly noticed that Vernon said the wrong as Cenka pulled his face in a frown and Hagrid stood suddenly in front of Vernon menancinlgy.

"You think that Albus Dumbledore is a complete barmy old fool?" asked Hagrid with a low voice that seemed to promise pain. While Cenka leaned towards Harry and explained quitly Hagrids outburst.


"Never try to drag Dumbledores name through the dirt. He is the headmaster of Hogwarts and Hagrid is very loyal towards him." Harry nodded slowley and Cenka gave him a reassuringly smile before he finished his sausage completely obvious towards Hagrids actions while Harry was intrested what would happen. Maybe he could see more of Hagrids magic.


"Yes. That old coot is completely mental leading a school full of freaks!" Cenka again narrowed his eyes when Petunia said 'freaks' again but choose to remain quit and Harry suddenly knew that he was slightely enjoying the show in front of him.

"Never and I mean never call Albus Dumbledore an 'old barmy coot' in my presence ever again!" let Hagrid out like the thunder of the outside world that seemed to have dampened since Hagrid and Cenka entered. Harry could see the Dursleys flinch when Hagrid rose his pink umbrella with flowery design again but against Dudley which was busy eating Harrys cake. Harry raised an irony quizically eyebrow and heard Cenka snort quitley but it was still good heard from all occupants and Harry whispered towards Cenka which he somehow associated with an older brother now.


"Trust my cousin to eat in a situation like that. Hell, I would even bet he would still eat even when the amagedon was in front of his nose." which Cenka this time responded with a quite chuckle.

"Sure he won't just eat the End-of-Days Day?" asked he sarcastically. This time Harry chuckled. The attention was drawn on Hagrid as he hexed Dudley and what Harry saw left him with a hefty laugh when he also heard Hagrid comment to his own magic and Cenkas respond.


Hagrid has given Dudley a little pig tail.

"Well, I intended to turn him into a pig... don't know what went wrong" said Hagrid with a little grin behind his beard as Petunia and Vernon were busy screaming about their 'poor Dudders' while Cenka just suggested somewhat that let those two pale and the other three with magic on their side roar in laughter.

"Maybe he was already close enough to a pig and just needed that tail?"


The Dursleys still in panic got to the ony bedroom while the other three let out a chuckling sigh and continued with their plans for tomorrow and so they also went to sleep Cenka close by Harry saying it was more comfortable when there was a person with one and that they were already close enough friends and wouldn't hear any protest that came suprisingly from Hagrid because if Harry were honest with himself, not that he isn't, he liked the idea and being close to someone which he came to consider a close family member than he could even have imagined to have.


And how was the first chapter? Good? I hope it was for you.

Personally I enjoyed writing it and will continue.

Hope despite that that I will get reviews.

By the way Cenkas name has a meaning in another language which will be revealed with deteails if you have the dire desire to know about just write me a PM and I will tell you what Cenkas name mean but nothing else!
