Chapter 2: Hagrid, help!

"Hullo Harry, hullo Ron. C'mon in. Where's our Hermione?" greeted Hagrid cheerfully.

"Hey there, Hagrid!" responded Ron ignoring his question as they entered the hut.

"Hermione's still having class." said Harry, having a seat in Hagrid's huge couch.

Harry looked around. It's been a long time since they'd visited the place. Because there are no more dark stuffs around the castle, maybe? Or it's due to their hectic class schedules, for they are graduating really soon. It looks a little less filthy around the small space and despite all this, Harry still considers it home.

"Oh. Where else could she be, right? Uhm, tea?" asked Hagrid walking towards a huge pitcher.

"Yeah, sure thing." said Ron even though he'd just eaten. It's been a routine already. Talk with Hagrid? Tea. Just to visit for a few minutes? Tea. Hiding at Hagrid's? Tea.

Hagrid placed three huge tea-filled cups on the table, and then he relaxed himself on a seat.

"Whut bring ye here, guys? Havin' a rough day er somethin'?" asked Hagrid curiously.

"You see, Mr. Potter here needs some fatherly advice." said Ron grinning.

"Ron! It's not really that kind of-"

"Aww Harry, ye think of me as dad?" sniffed Hagrid then he stood up and gave Harry a bone-crushing hug.

Ron was chuckling heartily. Hagrid chuckled as well and went back to his seat.

"Ugh, yeah." muttered Harry, trying to breathe after the hug.

"But actually, all I need is uhm, ideas. Because it's that...you might not know that I, uhm, like-"

"He wants Hermione to be his girlfriend." said Ron, helping out Harry.

Harry and Ron looked at Hagrid, and his face was completely blank. He just stared at them for a while then finally stood up, gave Harry another bone-crushing hug and cried, "Ohh our Harry is big man now, I'm very happy fer ye! Don't ever forget to invite me to yer wedding, alright?"

"Hagrid! I'm only asking her to be my GIRLFRIEND. We're not close to getting married!" said Harry, trying to chuckle while being crushed.

"I know, but one day ye two will get into that." said Hagrid finally letting go of Harry. He went back to his seat once more, sipped some tea and said, "So Harry, when did ye come to yer senses huh? It's been a while already."

"What do you mean, it's been a while already?" said Harry, looking confused.

"Ehm, it's been years right? Ye've been likin' her fer years." said Hagrid.

"Is it that obvious?" said Harry, quite shocked.

Ron and Hagrid looked at each other then laughed.

"Yer eyes says it all." said Hagrid, still laughing a bit.

Harry looked puzzled as ever.

Sensing Harry's confusion, Hagrid added, "It's in the way ye look at her."

'Ohh. So my eyes are that romantic huh?' Harry thought.

"Let's get started then?" said Harry gladly.

"Yeah right. Before your Hermione finishes her class." said Ron, reminding Harry.

Harry nodded and looked at Hagrid, "Well, Hagrid, I thought you might have some ideas on how I should ask her."

Hagrid sipped from his cup and said, "Ye know Harry, ye're quite one lucky lad." He smiled and continued, "I'm a bit inspired now really, do ye guys know that I am officially-err-dating Madame Maxime."

Would one ever thought that Hagrid have a romantic side? The only person who brought this side of Hagrid was Madame Maxime. He's just this huge man-obviously-with a huge heart.

"Why are all the happenings around bloody brilliant?" exclaimed Ron.

Harry felt happy for Hagrid, and despite his thick beard Harry could tell that he is definitely blushing.

"Let me tell ye Harry, I know what's perfect for ye. Unicorns! Hermione'd ride one and it'll bring her to ye!" exclaimed Hagrid excitedly.

Harry looked at Ron, and he received this I-told-you-so look.

"How about more romantic ideas..or, ugh, creatures?" said Ron because Harry seemed speechless.

"Uhm, how about this. I have this female hippogriff out there in the forbidden forest, and she is what ye're looking for!" said Hagrid, smiling.

"What? I don't want it to sound like a bad idea but-"

Harry was interrupted by Hagrid, "I know it might not sound romantic at first. But a hippogriff is a symbol of love. Isn't that cute? Both of ye ride that creature after the proposal! Explore the sky during nighttime. Wander off freely."

Harry sank to his thoughts. He and Hermione alone together at night while having some privacy. Riding a hippogriff once again sounds perfect. Maybe it was a good idea after all!

"Oh Hagrid. You are absolutely amazing!" exclaimed Harry, now having his turn to hug Hagrid though not really tight. It's time to give Ron this I-told-you-so look.

Ron gave his defeated smile at Harry, then looked at his watch.

"Ten minutes before Arithmancy ends, mate." Ron informed Harry.

Harry gulped down his tea. He don't like to disappoint Hagrid with still tea-filled cups. He gave Hagrid a pat on the back and said, "Reckon it's time to get going. Hermione's not going to know my plan. Not ever."

Hagrid smiled and said, "I'd prepare Starkly, the hippogriff ye know. Ye should get to know her soon though." This reminds them of Buckbeak very much. "And if ye need more ideas, I suggest ye go to Dumbledore." added Hagrid, opening the door for them.

"All right. Thanks Hagrid! For the time and the idea and all." said Harry gratefully.

"And for the tea as well." said Ron, waving a hand. Hagrid waved back and slowly closed the door.

Harry and Ron quickly went back to the castle, before Hermione start looking for them.
