Chapter 35:
Harry spared Neville a look of slight trepidation and accepted, "Please."
"So then Harry, I bet you're wondering why I called you down 'ere?"
"Yes, sir," Harry said, taking a sip of his tea before carefully putting the toxic liquid down on the table. Shooting Neville a look of warning, the other boy quickly fumbled his cup in his haste to put in down.
"Well ya' see, originally I was going to come 'nd pick ya up for your school shoppin', but ya obviously didn't need it, so I just wanted to meet ya, really," the half giant said.
"Oh, that's nice of you," Harry replied.
A silence fell then, with Neville awkwardly patting Fang, who had come over and rested his giant head on his lap. Harry continued to pretend to drink his tea.
"So anyway, Harry, 'ow's school goin' for ya?" Hagrid asked.
"It's great, really," Harry said enthusiastically.
"I see you've obviously made friends," Hagrid said with a nod to Neville.
"Oh yeah, Neville's great," Harry said, happy to see Neville smile.
"Good, good, an' yer teachers?"
