Harry and Emma were sitting on the softest bit of floor with the worst blanket. The past few days had been awful. After Harry's letters kept trying to get to him Uncle Vernon had told them to get in the car and had drove them who knows were changing direction every few miles to "shake em off." They had continued to drive until they had gotten to the seashore and Uncle vernon had left the four of them locked in the car. He had come back with a long slim bag and rations, which consisted of a bag of chips and a banana for each of them.

But once they had crossed the oceanside and reached a little Island with a small shack Uncle vernon seemed at peace. So after they had eaten their dinners they all were told to go to bed. Harry and emma just couldn't sleep.

Harry looked at the wristwatch on Dudley's arm, which was hanging over the couch. "Ten minutes till my birthday." He whispered quietly to Emma.

"I got you something hold on." Emma crawled across the floor to her bag and rummaged through her bag. When she crawled back it was five minutes till Harry's birthday. Emma handed Harry a small box. It was an old box certainly not new. Harry slowly opened it to reveal a silver wrist watch. "Surprise." Emma said smiling slightly.

"How did you get this?" Harry asked 3 minutes till his birthday

"It used to be Dudley's but he broke it so I fixed it up. It works fine now just had to fix the hour hand and the glass piece.

"Thank you Emma" Harry said giving her a hug. He put the watch on and together they counted down to Harry's birthday.

"10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1..."

BOOM

The whole shack shivered and Harry and Emma turned to face the door. Someone was knocking to get in.

BOOM

"Where's the canon?" Dudley said stupidly as he woke up.

Uncle vernon came out of the back bedroom holding a rifle. That must have been what was in the package. "Whoever you are, I warn you I'm armed."

There was a pause - then

SMASH

The door fell right of its hinges and Harry stepped right in front of Emma. He would protect her.

A giant of a man stepped in through the door way picked up the door and put it back as if nothing had happened. The man had shaggy black hair and a mess of a bears which covered his face so that you could only see his black eyes. He turned to look at them all.

"Couldn't make us a cup a tea could yeah? It's not been an easy journey..." He strode over to the couch where Dudley was frozen in fear. "Budge up you great lump." He said and Dudley scurried behind his parents.

Harry and Emma looked into the fierce face and saw that his eyes were crinkled in a smile. "An' here's Harry" said the giant. He peered around Harry and saw Emma. "An' there's Emma. Last time I saw you two you were just babies." Suddenly hagrid looked annoyed. "What could possibly be making that clicking noise?" He asked. Emma raised her hand slowly.

"It's how I see things." She said sheepishly.

"Ah yes you got the scar on yer eyes."

Uncle vernon made a raspy noise.

"I demand that you leave at once." he said. "Your breaking and entering.

"Ah shut up you great prune," Said the giant he reached over the back of the sofa, jerked the gun out of Uncle Vernon's hands, bent it into a knot and handed threw it to the back of the room.

Uncle Vernon made another Funny noise.

"Anyways- Harry " said the giant turning back to face the potters. "a very happy birthday to yeh. Got summit for yeh here - I mighta sat on it at some point, but it'll taste all right."

From an inside pocket of his giant's coat he pulled out a white box. Harry opened it and saw a cake with green lettering saying "Happy Birthday Harry"

Harry meant to say thank you but instead he ended up saying "Who are you?"

"Harry, thats rude!" Emma said.

"Sorry Emma." Harry said looking down at the floor.

"No it's alright I haven't introduced myself. I am Ruebus Hagrid, Keeper of keys and grounds at Hogwarts." He said.

Hagrid put out a large hand and shook Harry's whole arm.

"Now how about that tea?" Hagrid looked at the empty grate with the chip bags in it and he snorted. Hagrid leaned forward and got to work and when he pulled away there was a roaring fire. in the grate. Harry and Emma moved closer.

Hagrid sat back down and began rummaging through his pocket pulling out a copper kettle a squashy pack of sausages, a poker, a teapot, several chipped mugs. He was about to start when Emma rushed over and began to take it from Hagrid so she could do it.

"Thank you Emma." The giant said.

"I'm sorry but I really still don't know who you are." Harry said. He sat down on the chair next to the couch.

"Call me Hagrid everyone does. An' like I told you I'm keeper of keys at Hogwarts - of course you'll know all about Hogwarts o'course."

"Er - no," Said harry.

Hagrid looked shocked.

"Sorry," Harry said quickly.

"Sorry?" barked Hagrid, turning stare at the dursleys, who shrank into the shadows. "It's them that should be sorry! I knew you weren't getting yer letters but I never thought yeh wouldn't even know abou' Hogwarts for crying out loud! Did yeh never wonder where yer parents learned it all?" Emma pulled the sausages out and poured the tea into the mugs. She gave Hagrid and Harry a mug and a few pieces of sausage each. Emma took what was left and sat on the floor leaning against the chair Harry was sitting on.

Dudley shuffled. He was hungry no doubt. "Don't eat anything he gives you Dudley."

Hagrid chuckled "Yer great puddin' of a son don' need fattenin' anymore, Dursley don't worry."

"All what?" Asked Harry.

"ALL WHAT?" Hagrid thundered. Emma flinched. "Now wait jus' one second!'

Hagrid jumped to his feet and seemed to fill the whole hut. The Dursley's cowered against the wall.

"Do you mean her tell me," Hagrid Growled, "that they know nothin abou' about ANYTHING?"

"We know something," Harry said "We can do maths and stuff."

Hagrid simply waved his hand and said, "About our world, I mean. Your world. My world. Yer parents' world."

"What world." Emma asked.

Hagrid looked like he was going to explode.

"DURSLEY!" he boomed.

Uncle Vernon, who had gone very pale, whispered something that sounded like "mimblewimble." Hagrid stared wildly at Harry .

"But yeh must know about yer mom and dad," he said. "I mean they're famous. You're famous."

"What - our parents weren't famous where they?" Emma asked.

"Yeh don't know what you are?" he said.

"Stop!" Uncle vernon said suddenly.

Hagrid turned towards him. "You never told them? Never told him what was in the letter Dumbledore left for him? I was there! I saw Dumbledore leave it Dursley! An' you've kept it from him all these years."

"Keep what from us?" Harry said Eagerly.

"Stop! I forbid you!" Vernon yelled in a panic.

Aunt Petunia gave a gasp of horror.

"Ah, go boil your heads both of yeh," sat Hagrid "Harry, Emma - yer wizards

"We're what?"

"Wizards an' I reckon it's abou' time yeh read yer letter." Hagrid said and Harry stretched out his hand and he finally opened his letter.
