Ch.4- My BIG friend,
Vernon and Petunia came down the stairs; Vernon's shotgun was ready to fire. The door fell down onto the ground and outside stood a large man; he had a long beard and hardly any face showing. He grunted and looked down at the door. Harry felt himself shake at the enormous size of the man.
"Sorry about that," his friendly voice rang out. He stepped inside and put the door back up. The large giant began to look around, "A might bit chilly in here, eh Harry?" he said. Harry's face grew white, how did he know his name. The large man walked over to the fireplace was there was no fire, no wood even. He stuck his little pink umbrella in front of the fireplace, flames shot out from it and a fire started. Everyone watched in shock. "Ah, that's better, now, there you are Harry, Last time I saw you, you were just a wee little thing, " The giant said humble. "Look like your father ya do, and you got your mum's eyes." The next moment Vernon made a strange noise, "I demand you leave, who ever you are, you're breaking and entering!" he exclaimed. The Giant was clearly not pleased with Vernon's sentence nor the tone. "Ah, shut it Dusley yah louse!" he spat at Vernon. The Giant grabbed his gun and bent it into a knot and gave it back to Vernon. "Anyways- Harry, a very happy birthday to you, sorry it might be squished, I think that I sat on it," said the giant. He pulled out a squished sand colored box. Harry opened to box and when he did there was his chocolate cake he hoped for and even the green icing reading "Happy Birthday Harry" the only thing missing was the many candles. The Giant chuckled as Harry took a bite.
He set it down and looked at the giant, "I'm sorry for asking but who are you?" Harry asked. "Rubeus Hagrid, Keeper of the keys and grounds at Hogwarts school." he said proudly. " A spot of tea would be nice, eh Harry?" Hagrid said. He pulled out a teakettle, a copper pan, a package of sausage, and several chipped cups. He set the teakettle and the pan over the fire put some water inside the teapot with tea (of cores!) and the sausage went into the pan. Soon the meal was done and Hagrid gave the sausage to Harry and some tea, he kept a cup of tea for himself. Harry munched on the sausage. "Dudley, don't take anything that he offers you!" Vernon said restraining Dudley so he wouldn't attack for food. "Don't worry, that fat heifer of a son don't need anymore food." Hagrid said coldly. Vernon was going to say something to Hagrid but thought better of it.
Harry set down half the sausages, he looked up at the giant, "Pardon me for asking but back to your introduction, what are you talking about keeper of the keys, and what is Hogwarts,?" he asked. "You mean you don't know?" Hagrid asked rather surprised. Harry shook his head. "Ya don't know, ya just don't know do ya?" he asked running his hand down his face. He stood up and looked at the Durselys in a discussed way. "Ya mean ya don't know were your parents learnt it all?" he asked. Again Harry shook his head. Hagrid seamed to boil with anger. "DURSLEY!" he screamed. The three of them shrunk up agents the wall. "You didn't tell him, a child like that should know about our world, he's famous for crying' out loud!" Hagrid screamed. "Hagrid..." Harry began but Hagrid waved him off. Vernon found his voice, "I won't allow him to learn magic tricks with some kooky old fart!" he yelled. That really hit Hagrid's nerve, he stuck his pink umbrella in front of Vernon's face, "Don't you EVER insult Albus Dumbledore, not while I'm alive!" he yelled. Hagrid looked at Dudley eating the remains of Harry's cake, he stuck his umbrella at Dudley, and a pig's tail came out from his butt. Petunia and Vernon screamed at the sight of their son with a pigs tail, Petunia almost fainted. "Well, Harry, we best be off, we've got a busy day ahead of us," Hagrid said and took Harry by the shoulder. "Oh, almost forgot, here, read your letter," he said.

"An owl?" was Harry's first reaction. "Ah, yes" Hagrid began. He grabbed a quill and a parchment from his large coat along with an owl. Harry was thrilled to see a real, live, owl come from someone's coat. He scribbled on the parchment-
Dear Professor Dumbledore,
Harry got his letter, taking him to Diagon Ally today when it stops raining! The Weathers bad here, hope you're all right.
Hagrid
He rolled up the note and gave it to the owl and by golly it flew off into the storm. "I don't care what you do, he's not going!" Vernon spat. "I have a question" Harry began. "What is it Harry?" Hagrid asked bending down to his level. "Why am I getting this? I'm normal," Harry said. "Harry, you're a wizard, that's why you got this letter, and you'll be a tooting good one." he said. Come, let's go and get your books, the suns coming up now," Hagrid said. Harry walked out the door with the large giant next to him and from that point on Harry knew his adventure had just begun, now will he be able to live it?
E/N- Oh, spooky. That last line gave me shivers, I'm sorry to inform you but their are more chapters, they'll be short, and I'm going to make the next one shorter than this one. It's Christmas in 18 days! I have to go shopping and get gifts for everyone, for 2 secret Santa's and some for my relatives, with only 1 to 2 weeks left at 10 dollars a week I need to borrow some money from the parental, I'll never live this down, I want to post the Christmas chapter on Christmas day. Marry Christmas to all and come to my homepage when it's up, I'm setting the date for the 16th of this month, Eastern Time!
