Run, Dude
Harry stumbled slightly as he and Ron trotted down the lawns towards Hagrid's house. They had volunteered to help him set up his Halloween display, and both were not looking forward to it. Knowing Hagrid, he would have a number of strange, dangerous creatures in stock, ready for this.
They reached the hut, both sighing in unison as they knocked on the door. It swung open almost instantly, the half-giant occupant grinning down at them.
"Yer here!" Hagrid said. "Come 'round the back! Yer won't believe it!"
Ron and Harry exchanged apprehensive looks as they did so, slowly becoming more and more nervous. They reached the pumpkin patch, and both froze.
Firstly, Fluffy was out and about, connected to a wooden stake by a thin chain. Next to the large, three headed dog, was a number of Hippogriffs, all looking disgruntled at being near the dog. Blast-ended skrewts ran wild, blasting their way about the patch. A number of other creatures that Harry didn't bother to identify skittered well clear of the creatures.
"Harry..." Ron looked at his best friend, his face pale, making his freckles stand out. "Mate..."
"So, who wants to sort what?" Hagrid asked as he clapped his hands. Harry stared up at him for a moment before looking back at Ron.
"Run, dude."
