BOOM!  The door shook as the person knocked again. 

    Dudley snapped awake.  "Where's the bulldozer?"

    There was a bang from behind them and Uncle Vernon came flying into the room, a rifle in his hands一Rayne didn't even bother to try and figure out where it had came from一she was more worried about the crazed look in his eyes. 

    "Who's out there?" he yelled.  "I'm warning you一I'm fully armed!"

    Rayne didn't think one shotgun counted as 'fully armed', but she decided that now was probably not the time to share that. 

She looked back at the door and started to say, "I think they're一"

    CRASH!

    The door swung clean off its hinge and landed on the floor with a deafening bang.

    There was a huge giant man standing in the doorway.  A wild mane of black hair covered his face and a bushy beard covered his chin.  Rayne searched and found a pair of warm black eyes under all that hair.

    The giant squeezed through the door and into the hut, crouching so he didn't break through the ceiling.  He picked up the door and set it back in the frame as if it were as easy as buttering a slice of toast.  Then he turned to the rest of them.

    "Wouldn't mind makin' us a cup 'o tea, would yeh?  It's been a hard journey . . ."

    The man moved to the sofa, where Dudley happened to be frozen in fear.

    "Budge up, yeh great lump," said the intruder. 

    Dudley shrieked and scampered一the fastest Rayne had ever seen him move一behind his mother, who was crouching behind Uncle Vernon. 

    "An' ther' they are!"  the giant said.  "Las' time I saw the two to you, you was only babies." Underneath all the wild black hair, the glinting eyes were crinkled with a smile.  "Yeh looks like yer dad, Harry, but yeh've got yer mum's eyes.  'Nd Rayne, yeh look like yer mum, but with yer dad's Potter hair."

    Uncle Vernon made a strange sound, like he was choking, so Rayne ignored him.

    "I-I demand you leave at once!" he said.  "You are breaking and entering on private property!"

    "Shut up Dursley, yeh great raisin."  The giant reached out and grabbed Uncle Vernon's gun, bending it into a pretzel shape, as if it were made of playdough and not steel.

    Uncle Vernon made another funny sound, as if he were a mouse being trodden on.    "Anyway一Harry, a very very happy birthday to yeh.  I got summat for yeh一'nd Rayne could use a bite in her, to一I mighta squshed it a bit on the journey here, but I'm sure it'll taste all right."

    A large, slightly deformed box emerged from one of the inside pockets of the giants' huge coat.  The sticky chocolate cake inside had Happy Birthday Harry written in the middle.

    Rayne looked up at the giant's face.  He looked pleased with himself, and Rayne was going to say thank you even though it wasn't her cake,  when Harry said, "Who are you?"

    Rayne threw a bony elbow into his ribs.  It was rude to be so impudent when someone had just given you your first birthday cake ever.  And equally as dangerous.  But instead of raising his hand, the man just laughed.
