Not Causing Trouble, Eh? -- Fall 1984
I was out tending to the pumpkin patch behind me hut when I heard some ruckus near the front of the forest on the other side. I shook me head and stood up to my lumbering size. Now this really was enough... I was getting tired of chasin' kids away from the forest after Dumbledore told them it was ou' of bounds. "Get away from there!" I yelled as I came aroun' the corner of my hut. I saw red hair and softened my look slightly when I saw it was one of the Weasley boys. They weren' so bad.

I jumped, rather startled by the booming voice I heard behind me. I turned around to see the gamekeeper standing there. "Er... I'm sorry, sir," I said, unsure what to call him officially. "I was just trying to get this injured bowtruckle to come to me so I could help it... but its scared you see." I pointed to the animal so he could tell that I was speaking the truth.

I looked at the lad, kind of startled by 'im calling me sir. I shook my shaggy head at 'im. "Nah, call me Hagrid, ev'ryone does," I said to him, smiling through my beard. "Wha' happened to it?" I moved closer to the Weasley boy, gettin' concerned 'bout an injured creature.

I smiled at him. "Okay, Hagrid," I said, nodding at him. "And I'm not sure... I can't get close enough to it... it won't let me."

I nodded sligh'ly and sighed. "Well, it looks ter me like yer goin' 'bout it all wrong," I told 'im. "Follow me ter me hut and I'll show yeh how to catch a bowtruckle..." I turned and headed back toward me hut, lookin' back ter see Charlie followin' me.

I hesitated only a moment before following the gamekeeper to his hut. "What's the trick that I'm missing?" I asked, nearly struggling to keep up with his big strides.

"Yer going after it withou' any wood lice," I said ter the boy simply. "It won' let you look at it if it thinks yer tryin' to hur' it more." After grabbin' some wood lice I had, I motioned fer Charlie to follow me back ter the edge of the forest. We would see if the bowtruckle would let us look at it.

I was nearly out of breath keeping up with Hagrid, but I followed him quickly. I wanted to see how this was done. "This... is... so cool," I said, panting slightly. I watched him as he lured the bowtruckle with the wood lice to be able to check it over. I stayed quiet, just watching in awe.

I smiled over at Charlie and put a finger to me lips. I helped the bowtruckle and noticed tha' it had broken one of its claws. I shook my head and le' it go. "Tha'll grow back, it will," I explained to the boy. "Nothin' ter do abou' it at the momen'." Which, to me, was a bit depressin'. I looked at Charlie. "Wan' a cup o' tea?" I asked him.

I smiled at the gamekeeper and nodded. "Thanks," I said, following him back to the hut. I was grateful when we finally sat down. "How do you know all that stuff about the animals?" I asked him as he set some cakes in front of us while the water boiled over his fire for the tea.

I smiled through my bushy beard at the redhead. "This here is me life," I said simply. "I love 'em all... they tend ter need someone ter look after 'em." The whistle started to go on the pot, and I took it off the fire. I poured us each a cup o' tea and added some tea bags. "Sorry, I on'y have the bags."

I smiled at Hagrid. "That's fine, thank you," I said, remembering my manners that my momma taught me. "I would love working with animals." I looked at him and smiled again. "Want to know what creature I really want to work with?"

I was rather surprised by Charlie. He was quite friendly. I smiled at him. "Me passion is dragons," I said ter him simply. "Aren' they beautiful?" I looked at the redhaired boy and could see that he had a passionate look in his eyes.

I grinned broadly at the game keeper. "I love dragons!" I said to him enthusiastically. I was so upset that some people spoke ill of Hagrid. He seemed pretty cool. I liked him a lot. "I would love to work with them. I know all about the different types of dragons."

Of course there was a reason I liked the Weasleys... especially when it came ter this one here. "Really?" I asked, knowin' how ter interact with the younger students. "Which is yer favorite species?"
