The Tales of Hogwarts

Ernie Macmillan (I)

"Why was I so stupid ?" Ernie asked himself as he strolled through the darkened grounds. "I mean, I'm a dork and she's…" Just four hours before hand he had asked out Lavender Brown and she had turned him down. He had been walking around the grounds since 8 o'clock and he was pretty sure it was now gone mid-night.

"Who would want me ?" He asked himself as he turned to walk back the way he came. He had walked his route between the entrance hall doors to the green houses and back many times but he had no urge to go back in.

"Oh 'ello there." Hagrid said as he made his way up towards the castle. "Ernie isn't it ?"

"Yes." Ernie, said sure he was in trouble.

"Well ya should go in," Hagrid said warmly, "Full-moon and all."

Ernie looked up, the moon was indeed a full-one.

"Oh, I forgot." He admitted, all students had lunar plans in there common room, but Ernie had not returned there that evening.

"Well," You'd better be goin--" But Hagrid was cut off because at that moment a large Hairy wolf man dived on Hagrid and pinned him to the floor. It tried to bite him but he held it's arms. The wolf scratched at his arms and chest with it's claws but after a moment of fighting Hagrid rolled over it and pinned it down.

Suddenly, after a moment of staring, Ernie realised what was happening and ran off.

"It's okay !" Hagrid yelled fearing Lupin would get in trouble if someone found out. "I've got him pinned down." But it was too late Ernie had ran off to get help.

"Oh dear."
