When Harry knocked, the sound of someone moving around and a large deep barking came from inside. Then Hagrid's voice saying "back Fang back"
Hagrid pulled open the door and let them in; he was holding the collar of a large boarhound. Cameron saw Dan's eyes light up. And Cameron remembered Dan mentioning that he had 2 dogs at home, 2 big massive dogs. So Dan looked like he was in dog heaven. Ron and Harry saw Dan staring, smiling at Fang too and began laughing.
"Make yerselves at home," Hagrid said letting go of Fangs collar, the big dog bounded over to Ron and Dan and promptly began licking both boys ears, trying to do this at the same time.
"This is Ron" Harry said pointing to Ron, "and this is Dan and Cameron" introducing everyone.
"Another Weasley, eh? I spend half me life chasing yer twin brothers away from the forest." He looked at Cameron "Knew yer dad when he was here yer uncle too. With out them glasses you look a lot like yer uncle, more then ya look like yer dad. Yer dad was a good man sorry to hear what happened."
Cameron nodded
Then Hagrid noticed Dan who was very content sitting next to Fang
"Yer Max Tomas's boy aren't ya?" he asked
Dan nodded shyly
"Knew yer dad when he was here. Yup you look just like him same mischievous eyes."
Dan went red and grinned.
Harry told Hagrid about Snape's lesson saying how Snape really seemed to hate him; Hagrid however just brushed it off. They told Hagrid about potions and Hagrid got a kick out of the Weasley Twins turning Professor Quirrell into a woman. As Ron told Hagrid about his older brothers work with dragons Cameron looked around the hut, he felt something on his leg and looked down, Fang had gone to sleep on his leg, a pool of drool was forming on Cameron's robes, he smiled and scratched the large dog behind the ears. He was used to dogs, since most dogs could smell wolf on him, they either acted totally fearful of Cameron avoiding him at all costs or totally friendly acting like Cameron was just another canine friend. And Cameron was very relived to see that Fang had decided that Cameron was a canine friend.

A sign posted up in the Gryffindor Common room informed the first years that not only would their first flying lesson would be Thursday but also they would be learning with Slytherin. Flying seemed to be all the first years could talk about. Many talking about flying on their own brooms or how they played Quidditch. Cameron joined in this conversation talking about the times he'd flown his broom, and crashing his old broom into the house when he was 9. Dan told everyone how he played Quidditch with his dad and had once collided with a large sheet that was hanging outside too dry. He told them how he had flown out of control with the white sheet on his head and crashed through the house scaring both his mom and a few house elves thinking he was a ghost. It was all those from Wizarding families could talk about, Quidditch. Ron and Dean had gotten into an argument about Football and Quidditch. And Dan had proven his American ness, when he told Dean that the players on his poster weren't football players, they where soccer players. Then Dean and Dan had gotten into an argument over what was soccer and what was football. Dan had even gone as far as to bring out his collection of football and soccer cards to prove to Dean that he had it all wrong. Cameron and Harry had laughed watching the 3 of them arguing over sports. And had laughed even more when they caught Ron prodding Dean's poster of the West Ham football team trying to make the players move. Hermione was desperately trying to learn all she could about flying by studying "Quidditch Through the Ages" she lectured to everyone who'd listen at breakfast, and Cameron sighed with relief as the mail came. He got a package from his uncle, a new book, which he was glad to have, since he had finished "Lord of the Rings" nearly a week before and was desperately searching for something else to read. Harry looked at the book curiously.
"You like to read don't you?" He asked
"Yup" Cameron said, "I'll read anything with chapters."
"Even if its muggle?"
Cameron nodded
"Especially if its muggle, I find that they do write very good books my favorite's are the older muggle books, the 1800s and 1900s authors. They wrote very good books. "Tale of Two Cities", "Oliver Twist", "Three Musketeers", "Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn" any of them" Cameron said smiling, he opened his new book up completely forgetting the food at the table, and began reading his new book, by a muggle named Sir Conan Doyle, the book was called "Sherlock Holms and the Hounds of Baskerville."
Dan glanced over at Cameron and nearly fell out of his chair
"I'VE READ THAT!" He said loudly the Gryffindors all chuckled as Dan turned beet red and sat down again. "Er I mean, that's a very good book, " Dan looked up at the ceiling thinking "Cameron if you like to read so much I've got some horror books up in my trunk, their by this American Muggle named Steven King its called "Cujo" and another one called "The Stand" you can borrow them when you finish that one." Dan said going back to his bacon and eggs.
Cameron had to laugh.
A small barn owl a little bigger then Dan's dropped a package in front of Neville. Inside was a Remebrall. Cameron's grandfather had once had one, and it worked fine, till Cameron and Remus had used it for a game of Quidditch and it was the smallest thing they could find to a snitch. Cameron chuckled at the memory of his uncle bewitching it so it flew and remembering how it had flown right into a tree, smashing into tiny bits. Suddenly as he walked by, Malfoy grabbed the Remebrall out of Neville's hands, Harry, Ron, Dan, and Cameron, jumped to their feet, but they didn't get the chance they where hoping for, because McGonagall came swooping down like a hawk, and Malfoy handed the Remebrall back to Neville.
