Bang! Bang! Bang! It sounded like someone was trying to break the door down. Roman's heart was about to fall out of his chest. A lump was caught in his throat, what was he going to do? He had two friends over, he didn't need them getting hurt! 

    Suddenly the door fell down, and standing in front of him was probably the tallest and hairiest man he had ever met. 

   "Who are you?" he yelled. Roman could feel his heart drumming in his ears, all he had to protect himself and the people around him were his fists, and he didn't think it was going to be enough. 

    The man chuckled, "Well, it's nice to meet you too, Roman!" 

    Roman glared at the man, there should be no reason this man knew his name, or for him to be laughing at him. How would this man feel if a man ten times taller than him broke down his door? "Who are you?" he repeated. 

    "The name's Rubeus Hagrid, but you better get used to calling me, Mr. Hagrid! Just got meself a job at Hogwarts a few years ago! Isn't that existing?" the man beamed. 

    "Ok, Mr. Hagrid," Roman said slowly in a skeptical manner, "Why are you here?" 

     "Oh!" Hagrid exclaimed, "I completely forgot! My memory doesn't get better with age, that's for sure." The man reached into his giant pockets, pulling out an envelope. 

   "The owl sent it to the wrong house, the silly thing! In the poor owl's defense, you're aunt and uncle were the ones with magic. You're parents probably haven't heard about magic in a long time, huh?" Hagrid rambled, handing him the envelope.

"What on earth?" Roman mumbled, scanning over the letter. 

   "I'm sure it's a lot to wrap your head around kiddo, but we gotta go. That sleeping spell I put on yer parents and friends over there isn't going to last forever. Ah, I've been waiting forever to be able to say that," Hagrid said, a mischievous glint in his eyes, "You know I used to not be able to use magic? I've been using it for everything now that I'm able to!" 

   Roman looked over at his friends, completely forgetting that they were here. 

"You, you did what?" Roman stuttered. He walked over to his friends, who were both still passed out. You'd think that a door falling off of its frame is loud enough to wake up the whole house. There was no way magic wasn't involved. This guy was defiantly telling the truth. 

   "I'll explain later, but we have to go. It's going to worry yer parents, but I'll send yer aunt over to explain everything." Hagrid muttered, rubbing his neck sheepishly. 

    Roman stared at him for a moment, looking over his options. Was this really an opportunity he wanted to miss? 

   After a second or two of thinking, Roman made his decision. 

"Let's go."
