Rubeus Hagrid; Keeper of the Keys

"Brother--

"Don't Harry, don't want to hear anything right now," Tyson said sitting there cross-legged with his eyes closed meditating.

"But--"

"I know you want to ask about what Uncle said right?" He said, "I don't think I can explain and even if I did it'll only create more awkwardness between us."

Harry fell silent looking at Tyson weirdly.

"But I just wanted to ask how did you do that magic without a wand?" Harry asked what he really wanted to know.

Tyson raised his eyebrows in surprise. He had been thinking that everyone wanted to ask him about what Uncle Vernon said the day before yesterday but guess he was wrong. "Oh!- that? Well, I too don't know." He said (maybe because he got reincarnated. Who knows?")

"Do you happen to believe in rebirth and stuff? Like one dies in past and comes back in future?" Tyson said thinking.

Harry thought for a while but could not make anything out of it (isekai is not introduced yet). He shook his head in denial and was thinking is it really possible? like the time machine seem nothing but a fantasy much less this rebirth thing.

"Thought so, well anyway I think that it has to do something with one's soul or something." Tyson nodded not surprised and said, "In my opinion, it's all about how you interact with magic you don't really need a pencil to write, you can simply dip your finger in ink and do the same but we still use pencil for better results so maybe we can use spells without wands but use wands for better effects? maybe I am not sure either."

Tyson said sketching something on the wall with the chalk, something like a formless smoky ball of light and a few other things.

"This is a soul and these are magic in my opinion. Let's look at it this way. you have a mind that produces commands and your physique reacts to them creating results like lifting, walking, thinking, etc. in the same way our souls give commands and this magic reacts to it creating reality not results in this case." Tyson explained. Unknowingly or knowingly something changed inside Harry. It was as if some kind of binding was loosened as his scare started to ache the same way as it did when Tyson cast those spells.

"Ah- brother it hurts," He said, "I feel like I can feel something clutching on my soul Ah-"

"This-- what do you mean?" Tyson asked supporting him realising that he had a fever and a very bad one.

"Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia hurry Harry has a very high fever come fast," Tyson called and put Harry on his mattress and covered him in blankets (two of them) and lit a small fire near him with the woods he found near the forest.

Uncle Vernon hurried inside with his fat jiggling as he tried to catch his huffing breath. Aunt Petunia also came near Harry to check and was scared by how his temperature was (She could literally roast meat.). Tyson put a wet cloth on Harry's head.

"What happened now? I told you boy no funny business what's all this! Do you think I won't beat you?" Uncle Vernon suddenly yelled looking at the wall filled with strange explanations, realising what would have happened.

"Uncle Vernon I--"

"Thud*!" "Thud*!"

He was about to say when suddenly someone kicked the gate of the hut. After their house was burnt Uncle Vernon took them here in this hut in the sea. It was nearly impossible for anyone to come here unless-- unless some special circumstances like theirs but now someone was on their door trying to break in aggressively.

"Who? Who's there? Tell me your name. What do you want from us, here?" Uncle Vernon unknown when but suddenly had a rifle pointed at the gate, "I am armed! One more time you do that I will shoot."

"Thud*!"

His question was answered with yet another kick to the door, "This the las--"

"One more time and I'll shoot," Without Uncle Vernon realising his rifle was already in Tyson's hands and surprisingly he handled it like a professional who had years of experience with them. Sure enough, Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia were amazed by the boy's talents and were terrified as well. "Whoever is there, doesn't matter one or two or even ten, last chance identify yourself or die!"

Tyson hurried towards the wall beside the gate standing there ready to act and signalled everyone to take cover behind something rocky and go back and hide. He paid attention to the window fearing that if it was more than one it'll be troublesome.

"Thud*!" "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" "Argh!--" to his surprise nothing happened to the windows but the gate was kicked again but with a huge force that drifted the gate standing out of its hinges to the wall opposite.

Surprised he shot five and all shots were almost accurate if were shot at a human's heart, head, neck, lungs and abdomen but the being who came inside was not a human but a giant.

"Hagrid!" He said surprised. How could he forget the giant who flew him and Harry on a bike, cried for the two and held the burning rumble on his shoulders to protect the two? Hagrid the giant is a very good and cool guy if you ask Tyson.

"Yo kiddo yer still as energetic as ya were before I see eh-" Hagrid said, "Ya know me? Ah never told ya about me?"

Hagrid came inside as Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia too walked out of their hiding places with Harry in Uncle Vernon's arms and Dudley standing behind Aunt Petunia.

"Sorry about that! Didn't mean to scare ya all!" Hagrid took the gate and shoved it back into the frame sitting down on the old sofa which sank and lit the fireplace with magic surprising Tyson.

He saw him do that without any spell but just a flick.

"Boy Tyson ya look fine what about yer Brother?" Hagrid said smiling looking at Tyson, staring at him, "He doesn't look fine does he?"

"Hagrid how did you do that?" Unknowingly Harry was fine all of a sudden.

"You-- are you fine?" Tyson asked only to see him nod.

Uncle Vernon seeing him do magic was terrified and yelled, "Sir please go back, I don't want the boys to have anything to do with you."

"Oh-- Ah forgot to introduce." Hagrid suddenly realised as he boiled his tea, "Ah'm Hagrid, Keeper of the Keys at Hogwarts, of course, ya lil fellas know everything about it." he said looking at Harry and Tyson completely ignoring Uncle Vernon's anger.

"Um, no we don't know much about it." Harry said.

"What? How much ya know then?" Hagrid said in surprise.

"Only that it's a school that teaches magic," Harry replied.

Hagrid fell silent for a while then said in a low voice, "How much more do ya expect to know as a fresher?"

Harry dumbfounded looked at Tyson who only shook his head. "Hagrid what are you here for?"

"Oh! Tyson ma boy ya've always been strong. Tell ya what when ya were a baby boy ya were stronger than a baby giant. Of course, our Harry is good too but more like girls." Hagrid said looking at Tyson. He was very fond of the boys. "Of course to help ya buy yer stuff and do Hogwarts business too."

"Sir did you not listen I said that I don't want my boys to have anything to do with that cursed world of yours and they will go to the schools they are accepted into." Uncle Vernon suddenly pushed Tyson and Harry behind him pointing his rifle at Hagrid (he just snatched it from Tyson).

"But uncle--" Tyson tried to say.

"What?"

"I just shot him and he doesn't even have holes in his cloak." Tyson reminded.

"This--"

Hagrid again ignored him and looked at Harry, "Harry don't ya want to know why yer parents are so famous? Why do ya have that scare?"

Harry again looked at Tyson and Tyson looked at Uncle Vernon who was almost nearing Hagrid's limit of patience.

And soon what he feared really happened Uncle Vernon insulted Albus Dumbledore which angered Hagrid who threatened him giving the last warning. Angered Hagrid told Harry about how their parents died and Harry like a buffoon blamed Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia.

"Brother, why are you not saying anything?" Harry asked after Tyson stood there silently, "Do you not--"

"Shut up Harry! We cannot blame anyone here. Everyone is different, you like something doesn't necessarily mean that others will like it too. They don't like this witch and stuff so they hid it from us don't go saying it's wrong or anything." Tyson said, "Hagrid you said you'll buy us our stuff right? let's go."

Hagrid nodded and went out with Tyson and Harry as Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia huffed in anger.

"Uncle, Aunt thank you for everything these ten years. Don't worry I won't die out there like mom and dad, In fact, I already did once, don't want it again." Tyson ran back and said before running away, "Uncle let me and Harry go and study at Hogwarts and I promise that after all this is done I'll live a life of a normal man (hopefully)."

Hagrid and the gang arrived in London and walked the streets. This time there was something different. Tyson changed, he always had a smile on his face but now it was gone and only a blank face was there staring at everything as if remembering.

Harry and Hagrid also felt it and were afraid unknowingly. Hagrid especially felt that the boy was too cold, cold enough to kill his own brother if needed. There was this aura that radiated from Tyson that made it hard to even think about him.

"Brother-- you changed!" Harry said, "Just like Uncle Vernon said."

Tyson stopped then smiled, "Really? I guess this weather doesn't suit me huh! Don't worry Harry." his smile was back as the three of them walked on under the weird gazes of everyone.
