[That stormy night, a tall house, on a rock island somewhere out at sea. The Dursleys, including Harriet have moved there, due to the chaos with the letters. The family is sleeping, with Harriet on the cold, dirt floor and Dudley sleeping on a sofa. Harriet has drawn a birthday cake which reads, Happy Birthday Harriet. Harriet looks at Dudley's watch, which beeps 12:00.]
Harriet: [to herself] Make a wish, Harriet. [She blows the "candles" on the drawn birthday cake]
[Suddenly, the door thumps, in sync with the thunder flashing. Harriet jumps. The door thumps again and Dudley and Harriet jump up and back away. Harriet hides behind a wall, and Dudley cowers on a windowsill. Petunia and Vernon appear, with Vernon holding a double barrel gun.]
Vernon: Who's there?! Ahh!
[The door bangs again and then falls down, and a giant man appears. As he comes into the clear lighting, the giant man himself reveals to be Rubeus Hagrid.]
Hagrid: Sorry about that. [He puts the door back up]
Vernon: [aiming his gun at him] I demand that you leave at once, sir! You are breaking and entering!
[As Petunia quietly gasps in fear, Hagrid grabs the gun and bends it upwards.]
Hagrid: Dry up, Dursley, you great prune. [The gun fires upwards, blasting a hole in the ceiling, causing the two to shriek in fear. Hagrid notices Dudley.] Mind, I haven't seen you since you was a baby, Harriet. But yer a bit more along than I would have expected. Particularly 'round the middle.
Dudley: I-I-I'm not Harriet.
[Harriet reveals herself]
Harriet: I-I am.
Hagrid: Well, of course you are! Got somethin' for yeh. 'Fraid I might have sat on it at some point, but I imagine it'll taste fine just the same. Ahh.
[Hagrid hands Harriet the cake]
Hagrid: Baked it myself, words and all. Heh.
[Harriet opens cake, which reads "Happee Birthdae Harriet" in green frosting.]
Caroline: ok that was cute and have you never celebrated your birthday?
Harriet : no
Klaus : why?
Harriet : because my parents died after my birth and my aunt have never gave me anything
Hayley and hope eyes teared...
Harriet: Thank you!
Hagrid: It's not every day that yer young woman turns 11, now is it? Aye?
[Hagrid sits down on the sofa, takes out an umbrella, and points it at the empty fire. Two sparks fly out of the umbrella and start a fire. The Dursley family gasps.]
Harriet: [puts cake down] Excuse me, who are you?
Hagrid: Rubeus Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts. O' course, yeh'll know all about Hogwarts.
Harriet: Sorry, no.
Hagrid: No? Blimey, Harriet, didn't you ever wonder where yer mum and dad learned it all?
Harriet: Learnt what?
Hagrid: Yer a witch , Harriet.
[Harriet looks confused]
Harriet: I-I'm a what? Sir You just insulted me
Hagrid: A witch . And a thumping good one, and it's not like you think I'd wager, once yer trained up little.
Harriet: No, you've made a mistake. I mean, I can't be... a-a witch . I mean, I'm just... Harriet. Just Harriet.
Hagrid: Well, Just Harriet. Did you ever make anything happen?Anything you couldn't explain when you were angry or scared? [Harriet softens her expression] Ah.
[Dudley whimpers. Hagrid hands Harriet the same letter that has been sent the past while. Harriet opens it and she began to read.]
Harriet: "Dear, Ms . Potter. We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
Vernon: [to Hagrid] she will not be going, I tell you! We swore when we took her in, we'd put a stop to all this rubbish!
Harriet: You knew? You knew all along and you never told me?
Petunia: Of course we knew. How could you not be? My perfect sister being who she was. Oh, my mother and father were so proud the day she got her letter. "We have a witch in the family. Isn't it wonderful?" I was the only one to see her for what she was. A freak! And then she met that Potter. And then she had you, and I knew you would be the same. Just as strange, just as... abnormal. And then, if you please, she went and got herself blown up! And we got landed with you.
Tom : that how you learned of your parents death
Harriet : yes
Hayley was sad because she couldn't see her grandparents...
Harriet: [to Petunia, angrily] Blown up? You told me my parents died in a car crash!
Hagrid: A car crash? A car crash killed Lily and James Potter?!
Petunia: We had to say something.
Hagrid: It's an outrage! It's a scandal!
[As the Dursleys argue with Hagrid, no one, including Harry, is noticing Dudley taking Harriet's cake away]
Vernon: she'll not be going!
Hagrid: Oh-ho-ho, and I suppose a great muggle like yerself's goin' to stop her, are yeh?
Harriet: Muggle?
Hagrid: [to Harriet, calmly] Non-magic folk. [he immediately draws his attention back to Vernon and Petunia in anger] This girl's had her name down ever since she were born! [As Hagrid was talking, Dudley was munching on Harriet's cake.] She's going to the finest school of witchcraft and wizardry in the world, and she'll be under the finest headmaster that Hogwarts has ever seen: Albus Dumbledore.
[Harry smiles upon hearing Dumbledore's name]
Vernon: I will not pay to have some crackpot old fool teach her magic tricks!
[Hagrid whips out his umbrella and points it at Vernon, threateningly.]
Hagrid: NEVER – INSULT – ALBUS DUMBLEDORE – IN FRONT OF ME.
[Hagrid finally sees Dudley eating Harriet's cake and aims his umbrella at his buttock. He fires a magic spark at it, causing a grey tail to grow.]
Dudley: Ahh!
[The Dursleys shriek in both fright and horror as they run off out of sight. Harriet laughs at this, so does Hagrid.]
Hagrid: Oh, um, I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell anyone at Hogwarts about that. Strictly speaking, I'm not allowed to do magic.
Harriet: [Nods] Okay.
Hagrid: [checks his pocket-watch] Ooh, we're a bit behind schedule. Bes' be off. [he goes off to the door and pulls it down again before stepping out. He turns to Harriet] Unless you'd rather stay, of course. Hmm?
[He walks out. Harriet grins, looks back at the direction where the Dursleys are gone, and grins again, before grabbing her jacket and joins Hagrid on their journey to London.]
Kol : wow. Your life is like so interesting
Harriet (laughs) : yea
