Lightning streaked across the sky as a lone figure walked towards a small wooden hut that sat on the edge of a dark unwelcoming forest, this was no ordinary forest. It was filled with strange creatures that you've either never heard of or don't believe in any more. This was no ordinary hut either, well the hut itself is ordinary, but the person who occupies the hut is the complete opposite. The person who lives there is Rubues Hagrid, Keeper of Keys for Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry and half giant. He was an ex-Hogwarts student, being expelled in his third year, for a crime he didn't commit. Now, he settles with being Care of Magical Creatures teacher.

The lone figure knocked on the sturdy wooden door of the hut the sound echoed though the grounds the door slowly opened revealing a giant of a man was standing in the doorway pink umbrella held aloft, which contained the broken fragments of his wand. "What's your favourite pudding?" Hagird asked. A smile crossed the figures face. "Treacle tart," he replied, the smile still on his face. "Now then what's the name of the dragon you had in my first day?" It was Hagrid's turn to smile. "Norbert," he replied. "Well, now we're done with the formalities can I come in?" "Yes." Hagrid pushed the door open and the figure rushed inside. "HARRY!" a girl with bushy hair yelled out and hugged him. A boy with red hair and large ears punched him and a girl with flaming red hair and freckles hugged him also. These were Harry Potter's best friends. The girl with bushy hair was Hermione Granger, the boy with red hair and large ears was Ron Weasley and his sister, Ginny Weasley was the girl with flaming red hair and freckles.

The greetings where short and finally Hermione asked the question that they all wanted to know "Harry where were you? You left at Christmas and didn't come back when the holidays were over." "Um, I guess I should tell you. Before I left I was told to go to Dumbledore's office."

Harry knocked on the door that he had come to know very well over his six years at Hogwarts. "Come in Harry." Harry walked in to the large ornate office filled with portraits of the former headmasters/headmistresses "You wanted to see me Professor?"he asked quickly wondering why he had been called there. "Yes Harry please sit down there's a lot I need to tell you."
