Chapter 2 Books and Dragon Trainers
Hagrid taped the bricks that lead them in to Diagon alley. The wall melted away and they walked though as everything materialized before them.
"Does 'nyone need to go to Gringotts 'or money?" asked Hagrid
"Nope I have some money" said Harry
"I have some." Said Ron
Hermione shook her head
"All set!"
"Hagrid you said you'd tell me how your Breeders test went" said Harry. Ron and Hermione's eyes bulged
"What?!" they both yelled
"You didn't tell them..?" asked Harry
"Well, I didn't wanna 'ell all ya all cuz' I didn't know 'ow I would do." Said Hagrid
Harry looked down, he didn't think of that.
"I'm so.."
"But I 'ot my 'ermit!" said Hagrid
"Wow Hagrid that's great!" said Hermione
"Way to go!" said Ron
"What do you want to breed Hagrid..?" asked Harry
"What 'o ya think I wanna Breed 'arry! I wanna Breed dragons!" said Hagrid
"Wow, that's soooo cool" said Ron.
Hagrid Grinned and swelled up.
"Yup, Dumblodor was pretty 'appy too!, and he convinced the ministry to let me teach care for magical creatures again!"
Ron, Hermione , and Harry all Jumped.
"REALLY!?"
Hagrid stepped back.
" yeh..."
"WOOHOO!" they all yelled and jumped, hugging him around the middle.
"Oh yeh guys are 'o great!" said Hagrid
"Wait till Malfoy hears about this!" said Ron. Harry imagined Malfoy sulking and telling his dad everyday new things trying to get him fired.
Harry pulled out his school list
"We only need two new books this year.." said Harry "How to care for an Antipodean Opaleye and other breeds of Dragons, by Lainda Nogard and Protection Against unwanted evil- human and beast by Edward Las Mush'ead"
Harry looked up at Hagrid.
"The first one is 'or my class, this year yeh guys are going to raise a Opaleye from an egg!" said Hagrid
Harry could just imagine 20 5years running around crazy trying to catch a run-away dragon.
"C-cool" he said
"Well I guess will be getting a new Defense against dark arts teacher this year,…" said Hermione " do you know who it's going to be Hagrid?"
Hagrid grinned
"Yup!"
"WHO?!" asked Harry
"Not telling, but I'm sure you'll like 'em!" said Hagrid. But then Hagrid stepped back looking at Ron and Hermione, they were holding hands. Harry had noticed it and thought it was cute, but Hagrid look like he was about to yell at them. Hermione started to blush and Ron was just as pink as her. After a moment of silence….
" Yeh look so cute together!!!!!!" Hagrid yelled, " Yeh guys are finally growing up! How darlin'!"
They all started to laugh as they walked into Flourish and Blotts.
Hermione had already gotten hers but Ron still needed Protection against unwanted evil. They bought their books and went window-shopping.
When they were too tired to walk anymore they went to get ice cream. They all got chocolate with sprinkles and sat down at a table wail Hagrid went to buy a newspaper.
"Is your House really getting re-done Ron?" asked Hermione
" Yeah kind'a, were getting a new floor and patching up things, it took almost a day to get the ghost out of the attack!" said Ron.
"Well that's good, but Harry have you been staying with the Durslys all summer?" asked Hermione
"Yup" said Harry Gloomily
" I'd let you guys stay at my house but I don't know what my parents would say about having to guys sleeping in my room."
Harry and Ron laughed but then Ron lowered his voice
" Have you heard from Sirius?"
"Yeah he's ok but people are still kind'a spooked about him." Said Harry
" Well I'm sure people will be like that for awhile…." Said Hermione sadly
Just then Hagrid came back carrying the new Daily Prophet. He sat down at the table and opened it up.
"Wow says hear, there's been some strange activity and rumors that some is trying to rob Gringotts." Said Hagrid
"Well rumors are rumors, it was most likely just some drunk wizard or kid trying to get in to one of the vaults." Hermione said.
"I don't know..It says there's been a lot 'o strange activit.whatever that means." Said Hagrid still looking wide-eyed at the paper.
Ron and Hermione exchanged nervous glances, they got up to through out there spoons and dirty napkins. Hagrid stood up.
" Its getting late, I don't wanna scare yeh muggles Harry." Said Hagid
"Yeah ok..I still have to pack for Hogwarts." Said Harry
Harry said good-bye to Ron and Hermione, who were leaving by Floo powder at the Leaky cauldron. Him and Hagrid had to take the subway home. By the time he got home it was 8, and Aunt Petunia refused to feed him for being late. So Harry went up stairs and had cake for dinner, and some of the candy Cho sent him. He looked at the calendar, only a few more days till Howarts…..
