CHARACTERS Harry          — A student at Hogwarts Ron              — Harry’s friend Hagrid         — Half-giant and game keeper Snape          — Potions master

(Harry’s owl Hedwig brings a letter from Hagrid and drops on a plate. Harry opens and reads it. Hagrid is inviting him to a tea party at his home. So, Harry and Ron sneak out of Hogwarts School and go to Hagrid’s house. They knock the door. Hagrid opens and welcomes them.)

Hagrid: Hi, Harry, what’s up?

(Harry doesn’t answer)

Hagrid: How is your first week in Hogwarts?

Harry: It’s nice. But why does Snape hate me? 

 Hagrid: He doesn’t hate you. It’s just that he doesn’t like anyone.

Harry: But he always targets me and insults me.

(Harry feels very sad and his face looks very upset. Hagrid and Ron both try to console him)

(Hagrid goes to kitchen and gets some tea and cakes and offers them.)

(Harry and Ron starts to eat them, but they are very stiff. Yet they pretend to enjoy them.)

Hagrid: How is your brother, Ron?

Ron: He is fine.

Hagrid: Anyway, How are the cakes?

Ron and Harry (together): Nice! Very nice!

(Harry checks his watch)

Harry: OK. It’s time to leave.

Ron: OK! Hagrid, see you later.

(Hagrid gives them a pocket full of cakes and sends them back to Hogwarts.)
