Hagrid had began with searching for the boy on 4 privet drive, but the Dursley's had all pretended that they had no idea who Harry Potter was. Hagrid knew that he wasn't allowed to use magic, especially on the Dursley's, and had decided to just leave them alone. He at least now knew that Harry wasn't at the Dursley's; he had searched through their whole house before leaving them alone.
After that encourter, Hagrid had realised that he had made a gigantic mistake in trusting Dumbledores false words 'that Harry was taken care of by Arabella Figg'.
Harry wasn't.
Hagrid had walked to Arabella Figg after his encounter with the Dursley's.
'Were is Harry?' Screamed Hagrid to the squib. 'Have you ever, ever looked out for him the last years?' He screamed in Figgs face.
'What?' She said suprised.
'Do you even know what i'm talking about?'
Arabella had realised that she hadn't looked after Harry in years, she had always just kind of asumed that he was still at the Dursley's. She was so buzy with her cats everday.
'Is he gone?' She asked scared.
'Yes, of course he is gone woman!'
-o-o-o-
Harry woke up.
Last week had been the strangest week of his life.
-o-o-o- 5 days ago:
'Just go away!' Screamed Harry.
Owls landed all around Harry's dump, they brought more than 20 letters.
After the owls left, Harry immediately trew all the letters they had brought in the trash can.
He hoped they would just eventually stop with bringing new ones.
-o-o-o- 3 days ago:
'Leave! Just leave!'
More than 100 Letters were falling from the sky. The stream of owls that were bringing the letters never seemed to stop.
After more than 500 Letters had fallen from the sky, the last owl finally flew away.
Harry had felt so relieved after the letters finally stopped coming.
It had took Harry hours before he finally had trown all the letters away.
He had to search for trash cans that weren't already filled with the letters after some time.
-o-o-o-
Harry quickly dressed himself and fed his dog some food. The first few months he had his dog, she didn't really have a name. But after some months, Harry had decided to call her Lily, he had seen a beautiful Lily on the whey that day, but he often still called her just girl.
He knew that he had to go begging again; he had spent all the money he had on food.
The young boy decided he would go in 30 minutes. He decided to spend the 30 minutes he had left reading.
-o-o-o-
Hagrid was still walking through the forest, hoping for even a sight for the boy.
'Harry please! I won't hurt you.' Screamed Hagrid in the forest.
The half-giant began to be scared that he would never find the boy again; he had been searching for days now.
He noticed a dump standing in the distance and decided to take a look in it.
'Hello? Anybody home?'
Harry was startled by the voice coming from the outside of his dump, thinking he had been all alone. 'What?' Shouted Harry frightened.
Hagrid had no idea from who the voice from inside was. 'Can i come in?'
'No leave, please!' Shouted Harry.
Hagrid didn't listen to the words Harry had told him and walked into the dump. 'Hello?' He greeted friendly.
He was shocked to see the condition the boy sitting in the dump was in. The boy looked like he hadn't eaten in 5 months, and hadn't taken a shower in a year.
'Leave!' Screamed Harry, trying to sound intimidating. 'Freak!'
'No, i'm not leaving Harry.'
'How do you know my name?' Asked Harry is shock.
Harry kicked Hagrid in his knee, Hagrid barely felt it. 'You're name is Harry?'
Harry realised what he had done. 'No?'
'You're name is Harry.' Said Hagrid word for word, still shocked that he had found the boy.
Harry swallowed, regretting what he had told the man. 'Who are you freak?'
'I'm Hagrid. I'm the gamekeeper of Hogwarts.'
The boy who lived was shocked that the freak knew of Hogwarts. 'You are the freak who send the letters!'
Harry kicked Hagrid again, but Hagrid, again, barely felt it.
'No,' Hagrid laughed.
'Why are you laughing at me freak?'
'I'm not laughing at you Harry,'
'What's the name of the dog?' Said Hagrid, trying to bring the conversation on another subject.
Harry thought to himself that telling the name of his dog to the strange man wouldn't ruin his life. 'Lily,' he said.
'You named her after your mother, that's nice.'
Harry looked at Hagrid, he had never known the names of his parents. 'Her name was Lily?' The boy who lived thought to himself that the strange half-giant was probably lying.
'Yes, of course Harry.'
'What was my fathers name?'
'The Dursley's didn't tell you?'
Harry shook his head. 'How do you know about the Dursley's?'
'Of course i know about the Dursley's Harry! They're the worst kind of muggle to exist.'
'Muggle?'
'Non-magic folk,'
Harry realised that he was named after his father, and that thought made him smile for the first time in a very long time. 'I'm named after my father.' Harry smiled. He tried to convince himself that the man wasn't lying about this.
He had spent hours and hours imagining the names of his parents, now they finally had a name. They seemed so much more like real people now.
'Yes, you are Harry.' Hagrid smiled and looked at Harry.
Hagrid couldn't believe that Harry didn't even knew the name of his parents. He had no idea how he should start with telling Harry the rest of the story. 'Do you know what happened to you're parents Harry?' Hagrid looked at Harry, hoping the boy knew something.
Harry looked at Hagrid, how could this random man ask such a personal question, he couldn't believe it. 'Why do you want to know that freak?'
'Don't you get it Harry? Muggles? Hogwarts?'
'What do you mean?'
'You're a wizard Harry.'
'Just shut up, leave!' Harry pointed with his finger at the opening in the dump.
'I am not leaving Harry, Dumbledore send me take you to Hogwarts.
'What do you mean? A wizard? I'm no one.' Harry looked at Hagrid. 'I'm just Harry, just Harry.' He said.
Hagrid pointed his pink umbrella at the mattress in the dump; the mattress changed colour. Harry looked with his mouth open at the mattress, shocked at seeing what he had just seen.
'What?' Harry starred at the mattress.
'That's magic Harry.' Hagrid laughed.
Harry couldn't believe it.
Minutes went by before someone said something again. 'How?' Gasped Harry. 'What happened to my parents?' Harry decided to trust the man for now.
'Uhhm, i don't know if i can tell you everything about that, but i can make a start. Years ago a wizard became very bad, worse than you can ever imagine.'
Harry rudly interrupted Hagrid. 'Worse than i can ever imagine?'
'You don't want to know it Harry, and Dumbledore says you're too young. I'm sorry.'
'Go further.' Instructed Harry.
'So, You-Know-Who searched for you and you're parents, wanting to kill you and your family. But something weird happened, he couldn't kill you.'
Harry stared at Hagrid. 'Why did he want to kill my parents?'
'I don't think i can tell you that boy, i'm sorry.'
'How do i know if i can trust you?' Said Harry. The strange man seemed honest, but he had been betrayed by so many people who seemed honest.
'You need to trust me Harry.'
Harry looked at Hagrid. 'Why couldn't they kill me?'
'Love Harry, you're mother's love protected you. I don't think i can tell you more at the moment, i'm sorry.'
'Vernon always told me that my parents were bad people; alcoholics who died in a car accident when i was still a child.' Said Harry.
Hagrid looked with compassion at Harry. 'That's not true Harry, you're parents were great and are still missed till this day.
Harry smirked. 'Oh,' He said suprised, being suprised by the fact that someone talk positive about his parents.
'Do you want to go with me?'
Harry nodded his head. He quickly leashed his dog and did all his books in a bag Hagrid had given him.
Harry and Hagrid walked out of the dump, they walked together to the metro.
'Happy birthday by the way Harry,'
'Thank you,' Harry smiled.
Harry and Hagrid went on with buying school supplies voor Harry. Harry kept his dog close to his side. 'How did you actually get that dog Harry?'
'Oh, i just uhm found him i guess.' Answered Harry.
'Here!' Hagrid pointed at Gringotts. 'We're gonna get you some money at Gringotts.'
Hagrid and Harry walked together into Gringotts. Harry was shocked by the creatures that worked in the bank. 'Hagrid, what are these?' Harry asked to Hagrid.
'That are Goblins Harry, they work hard, but aren't very nice.' Answered Hagrid.
After the ride to Vault 687, a goblin opened the door to Harry's vault. Harry's was shocked by seeing how much money he actually had, his mouth formed nearly a perfect o.
'Is there something wrong Harry?'
Harry didn't answer.
'Harry?'
'The Dursley's always told me that my parents were alcoholics.' Harry swallowed. 'They were poor.'
Hagrid nodded his head disapprovingly. 'They are really the worst kind of muggles.
Harry looked at Hagrid. 'Why did Dumbledore leave me with them?' He said gloomily.
'I can't tell you that Harry, i'm sorry.' Said Hagrid. 'Dumbledore is the one who needs to tell you about that.'
Hagrid got some money from Harry's vault and explained wizarding currency to Harry. After hours, they were finally done with buying school supplies for Harry. Fortunately, Hagrid had brought a list of supplies that Harry needed with him.
After they had bought Harry's school supplies, Hagrid and Harry ate an ice cream together at Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour. Harry couldn't believe that someone bought him an ice cream.
When he was still at the Dursley's, he was often forced to eat their food scraps. Sometimes, if he had been very bad, he was forced to eat the leftovers from the ground, like a dog.
-o-o-o- 5 years ago:
'eat it,' instructed Vernon
Harry didn't react. Uncle Vernon had placed a bowl full over leftovers on the ground, everyone else was already done with eating.
'now,' said Vernon.
Harry went on his knees and started eating the food with his mouth. He knew that he didn't have another choice. He would probably be beaten up again, if he didn't ate it. It didn't taste too bad, he thought to himself. Harry tried his best to ignore Marge and Dudley, who were laughing at him.
-o-o-o-
'Is there something wrong Harry?' Asked Hagrid.
Harry was looking spaced out at the wall.
'Harry? Are you doing alright?' Hagrid looked worried at Harry.
After Hagrid tapped Harry on his back, Harry finally noticed Hagrid and became aware of his surroundings again. 'Yes, i'm fine.' He said.
'Okay,' Answered Hagrid, but he still looked worried. 'There is something i need to talk with you about Harry. Hogwarts starts over a month, you need somewhere to live until then. I wanted to ask you if you maybe wanted to live with me?'
'Where do you live?'
'I live a Hogwarts. 'My place is not much, but it's something at least.' Hagrid laughed.
'Okay,' said Harry.
Hary knew that he had to live on the streets again if he didn't agree, this was his best option.
