Chapter Five
Mistaken
The three of them made their way through the school grounds towards Hagrid's Hut. They were rather early for their CFMC (care for magical creatures) lesson, but they wanted to talk with Hagrid. Harry rapped him knuckles on the door and waited, ignoring Hermione and Ron's squabbles.
" Who is it?" A voice asked gruffly from inside.
" It's us!" Ron bellowed so loudly that Harry covered his ears. Hagrid opened the door and smiled.
" What are yeh doin' here?"
" To see you of course." Hermione said sweetly.
" We need to talk." Harry put in urgently. Hagrid looked puzzled but ushered them inside. Hermione knelt down and rubbed Fang behind the ears.
" What's the matter?" Hagrid took off his apron and sat down at the huge table.
" Want a fudge trifle? Made 'em meself." Hagrid offered Harry a plate full of little brown lumps. Harry refused, remembering the stomach pains from the last time he had eaten Hagrid's homemade sweets. But Ron gladly scoffed them down. Stopping only when he found what looked disgustingly like a feather inside one of them.
" Have you seen that new kid, Toby Armolo?" Ron asked, pushing the plate away.
" Avolorm." Hermione corrected.
" What ever." Ron grunted.
" Yeh.fer some reason he looks familiar." Hagrid rubbed his beard in thought, " them eyes." Hagrid stopped abruptly as he realised just WHO he reminded him of.
"Who does he remind you of?" Harry asked with interest. Hagrid stood up and grabbed the boys by the back of their robes. Hermione followed him outside. The giant of a man flung the boys onto the grass and closed the door behind him.
" Hagrid!?! What are you doing!" Hermione pounded on the door with frustration.
" Go to yeh next class! Yeh don' wanna be late." Hagrid replied from inside the hut.
" Our next class is here!" Ron bellowed, shoving Hermione aside and kicking the door.
" Well. come back later." Hagrid said stiffly.
After lots of shouting and pounding, they left. Their class wasn't for another twenty minutes. They would be back.
Inside the hut, Hagrid sat down at the table, flicking through the pages of a book. An old year book. The year book from his last year at Hogwarts. At last, he stopped flipping the pages and inspected a photo. It was of a boy. A boy with black hair and grey eyes. Very much like young Toby Avolorm. His name was Tom Marvolo Riddle. Hagrid leant back on his chair and rubbed his eyes. Impossible. Tom hadn't had a son. had he? He looked up at the clock on the wall and stood up. He had classes to teach.
" Alright. We're workin' with baby dragons today." Hagrid shouted over the noise of his class.
" It won' be too difficult. Just do as I say an' all will be fine." He opened a crate next to him and pulled from out of it, a young Norwegian Ridgeback. The Gryffindors and Slytherins crowded around to see it.
" Alright, there's not enough ter go aroun', get in groups of three an' be very careful! Don' pull their tails, they don' like that." Harry, Hermione and Ron pulled on their Dragon hide gloves and took the dragon that Hagrid was holding.
" Um. what are we meant to do?" Hermione shrieked as the dragon tugged her hair.
" Eh? Oh! Try an' feed 'em." Hagrid handed out bottles of milk and sat down to watch.
" You'd think these things would be on raw meat by now." Ron grunted as he tried to untangle Hermione's hair from the dragon's teeth. ("ow! Ow! RON!")
Avolorm smiled to himself. This was his chance. Without warning, he pulled his dragons tail. It screeched and let out a huge ball of fire straight at Harry. Avolorm smirked, his aim wasn't too bad. Not bad at all. Harry screamed in pain as fire crawled up his arm. He fell forward in panic, trying to put it out. As quick as a flash, Hermione grabbed her wand.
" Aquaria!" Water gushed out of the tip of her wand, extinguishing the fire. Ron, on the other hand, charged straight at Avolorm. He tackled the dark haired boy to the ground, they punched and kicked until Hagrid separated them. He held up a ranting, raving Ron in one hand and a sorely bashed Toby in the other.
" What's gotten in ter yer?" He boomed.
" He did that on purpose." Ron rubbed his head where Toby had punched him.
" Don't be stupid Ron!" Hermione snapped, hauling Harry up to his feet. " It was an accident and you know it!"
" I'm so sorry Harry. I didn't mean to, are you okay?" Avolorm said, Ron snorted and struggled to be put down. Hagrid put him down but held firmly onto his arm.
" Fine." Harry muttered without looking into Toby's eyes.
" Hermione, take 'im ter the Hospital Wing." Hagrid said, scooping up Avolorm's dragon.
" I'm fine." Harry said quickly, " I'll go myself." Without a word to any one, he made his way towards the castle. How could Hermione have stood up for Avolorm? Didn't she see that it was obvious he was pointing the dragon at him? Couldn't she see Avolorm's apology was fake? Couldn't she see Avolorm hated him?
Ok ppls how did u like it? I'll be writin mor chaptas soon. Plz review!
