Hagrid's first day with Harry - Part 5

By -
After they had left Eeylops Owl Emporium, Hagrid looked at Harry, who was carrying the sleeping snowy owl that Hagrid had just bought, in a large cage. Harry wouldn’t stop thanking him for the best birthday present ever received, the truth was that it simply made Hagrid happy to see Harry happy. "Don' mention it," said Hagrid. "Don' expect you've had a lotta presents from them Dursleys. Just Ollivander’s left now - only place fer wands, Ollivander’s, and yeh gotta have the best wand."
