They walked outside and down the hill and soon reached Hagrid's hut.

"So why are we here?" Ron asked.

"Hagrid invited me over." Harry told him,"And you asked to come along."

"Alright." Ron nodded.

Harry then knocked on Hagrid's door.

"Get back Fang, get back!" Hagrid sighed from inside.

There was some crashes heard from inside before Hagrid appeared at the door, holding his dog by the collar.

"Make yourself at home." Hagrid sighed as he let them in, closing the door behind them and letting go of Fang.

"It's a very nice place you've got, Hagrid." Erica told him.

"Thank you Erica." Hagrid nodded at her.

Erica smiled and looked down at the rock cakes. They did not look appealing.

"Would any of you like one?" Hagrid asked.

"S-sure." Erica nodded, not wanting to upset him,"Right, Ron?"

"Of course." Ron nodded slowly.

Erica tried eating one but it was impossible to bite through.

"Good, ain't they?" Hagrid laughed.

"Amazing." Erica smiled, slipping her's into her pockets discreetly.

"So how was your first day?" He asked them all.

"I enjoyed it but I think I'm going to arrange a meeting later." Erica answered.

"A meeting with who?" Hagrid raised a brow.

"Malfoy,"

"And why is that?

"Because he's the worst."

"Well, that I can agree on." Hagrid nodded.

"So is Snape." Harry pointed.

"I'm sorry about loosing you guys that point, but it was quite funny."

"Next time I'll be losing you a point." Ron threatened his sister.

"Not my fault that Snape assumed was a Gryffindor." Erica shrugged, holding up her yellow tue, "I'm clearly wearing the right tie."

"I can clearly see that too. Snape's just a bit daft."

"And deaf."

"That he is." Hagrid nodded.

That's when Harry noticed a cutting of a newspaper, The Daily Prophet. The headline being, 'Gringotts Break In Latest!'

"Oh, what's that?" Erica began reading over his shoulder.

"Just the Daily Prophet. Word is Gringotts was broken into." Hagrid sighed.

"Hang on, that happened on my birthday." Harry pointed.

"How odd.." Ron nodded slowly.

"What's the time, Hagrid?" Harry asked.

"Hm, around 5:30, I'd say." He turned to a homemade clock.

"We need to get back." Harry sighed.

"Do we really have to?" Erica asked hopefully.

"Unless you want actual points taken from you." Ron crossed his arms.

"Fair enough." Erica got up,"We'll come see you again another day, Hagrid."

"Oh! Take some rock cakes with you." Hagrid pushed the plate towards them.
