Hagrid and Harry walked up to the edge of the forbidden forest.
"Be careful Harry", said Hagrid, "Stick close to me and watch out for some orange clusters of berries along the path."
"Okay", replied Harry, "but I have one question."
"What is that Harry?"
"Umm...what exactly are dragon berries, and why do you need them?"
"Well, Basically dragon berries are delicious, and I just wanted some for myself. They taste like string cheese and bacon", Hagrid started drooling onto his beard, "I can't wait to get some! Lets get going!"
'String cheese and bacon!' thought Harry, 'that is the most delicious combination that I have ever heard of! I can't wait to taste some'
For a moment Harry just stood there imagining the sweet bliss of tasting such a wonderful berry, but then he realized that Hagrid was leaving him behind so he ran to catch up.
Harry and Hagrid had been searching for dragon berries for about a half an hour when Harry saw something orange through the trees.
"Hagrid!" Harry exclaimed, tugging on Hagrid's cloak and pointing at the orange thing, "Are those dragon berries?"
"They sure look like it Harry", said Hagrid, "but I think we should keep looking, I don't like to go into that part of the woods. I always feel uneasy when I go in there, sort of like someone is watching me. Either that or I feel constipated. Neither is good."
"But I'm getting tired of looking Hagrid", whined Harry, "I want to taste some dragon berries!"
"Harry, I'm sorry but I don't want to risk taking you into that part of the forest", retorted Hagrid, "You shouldn't really be here with me in the first place!"
"But Hagrid..."
"No Harry", interrupted Hagrid, "You stick with me, and that's final!"
With that Hagrid continued down the path. Harry started to follow, but the urge to taste cheesy, bacony goodness was much too strong! Harry tried to resist the urge and follow Hagrid.... but something was pulling him towards that orange bush, and he couldn't resist it any longer! He broke out into a run towards the orange berries.
"HARRY, STOP!" yelled Hagrid
"NO, NEVER!", yelled Harry, " I MUST GET TO THE BERRIES! I MUST!"
"WHAT'S COME OVER YOU HARRY!"
"GET AWAY! I MUST EAT THEM!"
With that Harry reached the bushes and started grabbing handfuls of berries and shoving them into his mouth.
"Mmmmmmm....", sighed Harry, "This is even better than grilled Salmon with mayonnaise."
Hagrid finally caught up with Harry. "Harry....", he puffed, "Let's get out of here, I'm getting that uneasy feeling."
"But this is heavenly", said Harry, "I don't ever want to stop eating these berries!"
"I should have never brought you with me Harry, please just come on, lets go!", pleaded Hagrid.
"Not until I'm done eating these Berries", growled Harry.
"Harry, you aren't acting like yourself", said Hagrid as he grabbed Harry's arm, "let's go now."
"I'm not leaving!" yelled Harry as he bit Hagrid's finger.
"OUCH!" exclaimed Hagrid, "You know what, I am going to get help! I don't know what's got into you Harry!"
With that Hagrid left Harry alone by the dragon berries bush.
