Beauty and the Death Eater

Chapter 1

The Beginning

Imagine the shock my brother and I shared when Hagrid came bursting through the door of that miserable shack. His size and appearance were shocking enough, then he told my brother he was a wizard and that I was a witch. However this wasn't the most surprising.

"You knew all along and you never told us!" said Harry.

"Of course I knew! How could either of you not be? My perfect sister being who she was. My mother and father were so proud the day she got her letter! And then she met that Potter! And then she had the two of you and I knew you would be just as strange just as….abnormal! And then, if you please, she went and got herself blown up! And we got landed with you two!"

My eyes widened.

"Blown up!? You told us our parents died in a car crash!" I shouted.

"A car crash killed Lily and James Potter?!" shouted Hagrid.

"We had to say something!" Our aunt said.

"It's an outrage! It's a scandal!"

"They will not be going!" said our uncle.

"Oh! And I suppose a great muggle like yourself's gonne stop em?!"

Harry and I looked at him in confusion.

"Muggle?" we asked.

"Non-magic folk!" He looked back. "These two have had their names down ever since they was born! They'll be going to the finest school! And they'll be under the greatest headmaster that Hogwarts has ever seen! Albus Dumbledore!"

"I'll not pay to have some crackpot old fool teach them magic tricks!" said uncle, spit flying everywhere.

Hagrid pointed his magic pink umbrella at him.

"Never. Insult Albus Dumbledore in front of me."

I heard munching and I turned to find our cousin Dudley eating the cake Hagrid had made for us. Hagrid waved his umbrella and I watched as a pig tail grew on our cousin's backside. Harry and I held back our laughter and looked at each other. Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon started to chase Dudley around trying to get rid of the tail. Hagrid looked at us.

"I'd a appreciate it if you didn't tell anyone, at Hogwarts about that. Strictly speaking I'm not allowed to do magic."

We nodded and he looked at a small watch.

"Oh! We're a bit behind schedule. We best be off."

He walked towards the door and just pulled it forward. He looked back at us.

"Unless you'd rather stay of course."

He gave us a look and then walked outside. Harry and I looked at each other. I smiled and took his hand.

"Come on."

He nodded and we ran after Hagrid.
