Harry Potter The Unseen Heroine

When we reached Hagrid's I knocked on the large oak door, inside a dog barked and heard Hagrid's voice.

"No Feng-still can't let you out." He was saying then the door cracked open.

"Just a sec." Hagrid told us. He opened the door while struggling to hold back a large black boarhound.

We entered a large circler room, in fact it was the whole household. A large fire with a kettle overhead, a table near the center, and a large bed in the corner. Harry and Ron were sitting around the table with rock cakes in there hands, and a cup of tea each.

"Hey Harry, Hey Ron." I told the pair, as Hagrid closed the door behind him and let go of Feng's collar, who bolted straight for Ron.

"Not again." Ron said as he tried to fend Feng off.

"Sorry Ron. Feng's really taken a liking to yeh." Hagrid said as he handed us some tea.

"Thank you Hagrid." I said, then turned towards Lisa and Anthony. Lisa was taking another cup of tea from Hagrid, while Anthony was desperately trying to remain calm.

"I hope it's fine if I brought some housemates with me." I told Hagrid.

"O' course. Any friend's o' yours's are welcome." He told me.

"Allow me to introduce Lisa Turpin, and Anthony Goldstein."

"Goldstein? Your dad works for a Ministry right?" Ron asked Anthony as they shook hands.

"He does. Your one of the Weasley's right?" Anthony asked. Ron nodded.

"I'm Ron." He replied.

"And you must be Harry?" Lisa asked Harry. Harry nodded as the two shook hands.

"A pleasure." Harry told her, then turning to Anthony, who still was in a little shock.

"The pleasure is all mine." Anthony said clearly making sure he didn't grip Harry's hand to hard.

After everyone had been introduced Hagrid gave us some of the Rock cakes Ron and Harry had been eating. They were...not good. But nobody said anything as Hagrid asked us all about our first week.

As the conversation went on Anthony nerves seemed to drop. At first he hardly looked at Harry, however after Harry talked about him being late to transfiguration, and seeing how he was just a normal student he opened up. And I breathed a sigh of relief.

Hagrid went on a small rant about Filch and Miss Norris which made us all laugh, then he asked about potions.

"Snape hates me." Harry said firmly.

"He treats all student's like tha'." Hagrid told him.

"But he seemed to really hate me." Harry said firmly.

"Rubbish!" said Hagrid. "Why should he?"

I noticed that Hagrid didn't quite meet Harry's eyes there...Was Hagrid hiding...

"How about you Sarah?" Harry asked, startling from my thoughts.

"What?" I asked.

"How did Snape treat you?" Harry asked.

"He...mostly ignored me." I said. Then Harry looked at me confused.

"What?" He asked.

"Yeah, he asked me a question, I got it right, he moved on..." I began.

"He actually treated her quite decent." Anthony said.

"Decent?" Harry asked shocked.

"Yeah, he didn't just call on her out of the blue like everyone else. Then when we made the cure for boils he checked our potion without saying anything."

"That...that doesn't make any sense. I was sure...he was horrible to me."

"I mean you are a Gryffindor." I told him.

"But he treated you the best?" Harry asked.

"I don't know." I replied shrugging.

"Clearly 's jus because she got the question righ'." Hagrid interjected.

Again Hagrid didn't look Harry in the eyes. What was Hagrid hiding?

"How's yer brother Charlie?" Hagrid asked Ron. "I liked him a lot — great with animals."

Ron began to go over Charlie's adventures in Romania. Me, Lisa, and Anthony all looked at each other with expressions of confusion and doubt of Hagrid's answer, while Harry found cutting of the Daily Prophet under the tea kettle.

I couldn't make out much as it was upside down from my view, but from what I could see there was a picture of the goblins at Gringotts...didn't Harry mention something about it being robbed on the train?

"Hagrid!" Harry shouted, "that Gringotts break-in happened on our birthday! It might've been happening while we were there!"

For the third time Hagrid didn't look Harry in the eye and handed Harry another rock cake.

"Someone tried to rob Gringotts?" Anthony asked curiously. Harry nodded then began reading the article again.

"Supposedly on our birthday." I answered.

"Interesting." Anthony replied.

"That's the bank right?" Lisa asked.

"Yeah, you would have gone in the lobby to the exchange. Underneath the bank is a maze of vaults." Anthony answered.

For the rest of tea Hagrid continued to bring up new topics, and didn't mention Gringotts or Snape. Finally, with pockets full of rock cakes we couldn't refuse, we headed back to the castle.

"It was nice to meet you two." Anthony told the pair as we approached the entrance hall.

"You as well." Harry replied.

"We'll have do this again." Lisa said.

"Hopefully with less Rock Cakes." Ron groaned.

We split as Harry and Ron headed to the Gryffindor table, while we headed to the ours.

After dinner we arrived back at the common room. The three of us gathered around to do another of Lisa's packets from home.

"So...did anyone notice." Anthony began.

"That Hagrid was clearly hiding something." Lisa asked.

"Yes." I answered firmly.

"What do you think it is. What's he know about Snape?" Anthony asked.

"I don't know...But I'm not going to push him." I replied.

"Aren't you curious.? Lisa inquired.

"I am, but if he doesn't think me or Harry should know about Snape, or whatever going on with Gringotts...I trust his judgement."

"If you trust him. I'm still dying to know why Snape supposedly Hates Harry but is fine with you." Anthony said thoughtfully.

"As am I."
