I was dreaming, Harry is trapped somewhere in the castle and I need to save him. I have no idea where he is or what I need to do to save him all I know is the distant hissing in my ears will lead me to him. I run down corrider after corrider trusting the hissing person or thing to lead me to my true love. Whoever it is leads me outside and across the grounds until I reach a rooster enclosure. I can't see Harry but I just know that he is somewhere past all the roosters, in order to get to the love of my life I need to get past the roosters and the only way to do that is to kill the...

"Fang, ge' back here," I here a voice shout and all of a sudden I'm on the ground with a gigantic black dog on top of me, licking my face.

"Fang, ge' off," the dog is pulled off of me and I can see a giant of a man standing over me holding the giant of a dog back.

A hand the size of a dust pan lid reaches down, I grab it and it helps me to my feet. I look up at the man and realize it's Hagrid, the man who stopped the fight in the bookstore.

"Who migh' you be?" Hagrid asked.

"Ginny Weasley,"

"Oh, another Weasley, I should have guessed when I saw your hair."

"Here come 'nside and I'll make yeh a pot o' tea," Hagrid said gesturing at a building that I assume is his house.

"Sure," I might as well I forgot why I was even out here anyway, in fact how did I get outside? Last thing I knew I had been up in my dorm writing to Tom. What happened? Maybe some tea will help me.

I followed Hagrid inside his house, which was really cozy, a gigantic bed with a gigantic patch-work quilt took up most of the room, pot and pans were everywhere, a fire blazed in the grate. I love Hagrid's house, it reminds me of the burrow and I don't feel so homesick anymore.

"So yur Ron's little sister," Hagrid said while setting a huge mug of tea down in front of me.

I nodded my head and sipped my tea.

"The last of the Weasleys and the only girl, mus' huv been fun growin' up with all the' brothers,"

"It was okay, I mean I love my brothers and all but they non stop tease me, especially Fred and George,"

"Yeh, I know Fred and George, biggest bunch o' troblemakers 'Ogwarts 'as ever seen. I spent 'alf my life chasing 'em away from the forest."

"Figures that Fred and George would want nothing more than to explore the Forbidden Forest. The Forbidden is what calls to them, if there told they can't do it, they will do it."

Hagrid chuckled, "Yeh, I figured that was their rule of life. Seems to be the opposite of yer' brother Percy's rule of life."

"It may seem strange but I prefer Percy over the gruesome twosome. Although Charlie is my favorite brother."

"Charlie was my favorite too, never seen anybody work with animals as he did,"

"He was your favorite?"

"Yeh, I think yur' my new favorite Weasley but don't tell Charlie or Ron."

"I promise,"

"So how do yah like 'Ogwarts?"

"It's okay. I like my teachers, will not Professor Snape but he hates me. Today was my first lesson with him and he picked on me for no reason."

"That's Snape, he likes to pick one student out of each year to be his target. You must be his target for your year, probably because your a Weasley."

"I hate being singled out for being part of a family even more then I hate the other students picking on me for my second hand clothes and books. The worst thing is having my brothers, my family, my own flesh and blood tease me non-stop for..."

"For what?"

"Nothing," I said, shaking my head. I had been about to say 'for liking Harry Potter' but I don't want to tell Hagrid about that especially since he is good friends with Harry. I looked out the window for something to distract Hagrid from what I was about to say. "Hagrid your pumpkins are gigantic. How do you get them to grow that big?"

"Uh... I just... use a lot... uh... of... fertilizer. It helps them out like you wouldn't believe, it's almost like magic... but it isn't... just regular old muggle fertilizer."

"You use muggle fertilizer?" I raised my eyebrows at this, Hagrid defiantly uses magic to grow his pumpkins. Why would he lie about it though, he's a wizard, it's normal for wizards to use magic." I looked out the window again and saw a rooster pen in the distance, I all of a sudden remembered what I was supposed to be doing.

"I have to go Hagrid," I said, getting up in a daze and putting on my coat.

"It was nice meeting you Ginny, come and see me again some time."

"I will Hagrid," seeya later and with that I walked out of his cabin.

"Ginny! Ginny!"

"What?" I sat up, my face ripping off of paper. I rubbed my cheek and looked down at the diary. I fell asleep while writing to Tom, I hope he doesn't think me rude for not responding. Maybe I did finish writing to Tom because I remember going for a walk and talking with Hagrid... then what? I must have come back up here to tell Tom about my tea with Hagrid when I fell asleep only to be woken up by...?

I looked up to see Hermione hovering over me.

"Ginny are you alright? Percy sent me up here because you said you would be down for dinner and you never showed, he is really worried and mad at you?"

"Why didn't he come up and check on me himself if he was so worried?"

"Boys aren't allowed in the girls dormintory."

"Really? What happens if they try?"

"The staircase turns into a slide. Angelina and Katie told me about it last year, they discovered it after Fr... Never mind."

I looked at her funny, why didn't she finish her sentence.

"Anyway where have you been?" Hermione asked, sitting down on my bed.

"I wasn't hungry so I came up here, wrote in my diary," I said gesturing to the black book lying open on my bed. "Then I decided to get some fresh air, I met Hagrid and had some tea with him then I just came back here and must have fell asleep."

"Will I'm glad your okay and you met Hagrid, how did you like him?"

"He was really nice, I like him a lot." Hermione and I continued to talk about school and the teachers.

Katie came though the doorway after a while, "Hey Ginny, your brother, the one with the glasses sent me up here to ask about you and Hermione? He wants to know where you have been and if Hermione got lost."

"Oh, I forgot all about Percy," Hermione said, jumping off of my bed. "I will go down and tell Percy your okay Ginny."

"Alright thanks Hermione," I said as Hermione left the room.

"So that's Hermione Granger," Katie said, sitting down on my bed. " I heard she is the smartest girl in second year and she is a muggle-born. Wait she is the girl you mentioned who is best friends with your brother and Harry Potter.

"Yeah, she is really nice." Katie got up to get ready for bed and I turned to my little black diary, picked up my quill and started to write.

Tom, I think I fell asleep while writing to you, I hope your not mad

Oh, don't worry Gin, I figured something important came up when you didn't respond

I think I fell asleep and then I woke up and went for a walk. While I was out on a walk I ran into Hagrid and had tea with him and then I think I came back here and fell asleep.

Do you mean Rubeus Hagrid?

Yeah, did you know him?

Yeah we were classmates when I went to Hogwarts, he was two years younger than me.

What house was Hagrid in?

Gryffindor but sadly my fifth year, Hagrid's third year, he was expelled.

He was expelled, why?

I caught him raising werewolf cubs under his bed and wrestling trolls in the Forbidden Forest.

I don't believe Hagrid would do that... yet I don't know him very well.

It's sad but true.

I'm not going to tell anybody about this, Hagrid is probably just trying to forget what happened and I don't want to make him relive it.

Your a sweet girl Ginny Weasley.

Thank you Tom. Goodnight.

Goodnight.

I closed my diary and noticed something gray lying underneath it. I picked it up and realized it was a rooster feather, why do I have a rooster feather in my bed? Where would I pick up a rooster feather? It must have been when I was out on my walk, I probably just walked by a chicken coop and somehow it landed on me. Yeah, that has to be it. There's no other explanation.
