"Robbie, when did yeh get so old?" Hagrid murmured to his seventeen-year-old son, who was starting his 7th and final year in Hogwarts.

"Ah, dad stop it." Robbie muttered, embarrassed – he was not one to express much emotion openly and badly wanted to stop this conversation. "Well, i'm off...you don't need help with the first years do you?"

"No, Rob. You go have fun, and get yerself something." and slipped a handful of gold galleons into his cloak pocket.

"Dad!"

"Yeh earned it." Hagrid said earnestly. "Prefect in 5th year, and now Head Boy! I'm proud of yeh, son." He thumped his shoulder and the force of it would have made most grown men's legs buckle but as Robbie was the son of two half-giants, that made him a quarter-giant so he was very tall (though not as tall as Hagid), well-built and well use to his father's 'affectionate' pats.

Robbie ducked his head, and quickly changed the subject. "Is Harry's son James starting this year?"

"No, next year. An' i tell yer something, when he does come that James will give Teddy Lupin a run for his money! A trouble-maker if i ever saw one! Remember when we visited them last year...?" and Hagrid was off reminiscating about their holiday they had last year in Godrics Hollow.

And Robbie was remembering it too. It'd been fun but Robbie had been envious of the happy family. He loved his dad a lot but he'd always wanted to meet his mum. Hagrid had always clammed up when he brought her up and looked murderous. The only things Hagrid had told him was that she lived in France, was Headmistress of Beauxbstons Academy and he lived with her and his twin brother until he was 2 years old.

His brother. He had also spent a lot of his life wondering about him. He'd always wanted a sibling and felt cheated out of one. He wondered if Frederic was more lovable than him and that's why his mother had taken him and then never contacted him or Hagid ever again...

"Rob? Robbie!"

Robbie snapped back into reality. "Eh?"

"Aren' yeh going to Hogsmeade?"

"Oh, oh yeah..."

"Well yeh better get going, or yeh won't have time to shop in Hogsmeade."

"OK, bye dad. See you at the Feast."

"Oh, son, remember when i said something was going to happen this year?"

Robbie turned around eagerly, he had been longing to know what his dad had meant ever since he told him a month ago. "Yeah?"

Hagrid laughed at his son's eagerness. "Yeh'll find out at the feast!" Robbie groaned and nodded, walking out of the cabin to the sound of his father laughing.
