Once I got my nerve back on track, I continued on from where I paused at mid sentence. "Also, I am really sorry, but I cannot give an honest excuse for why I had these fake phoenix teardrops, instead of the real ones."At that utterance of the statement, I hung my head low in defeat and sorrow. A particular thought was coursing through my mind, and it was a tragic and sad one.
Goodbye forever, to my great business relationship with Hagrid, goodbye forever cheap and affordable ingredients, and goodbye forever to my potions experiments.
Well, to be totally honest, not all of my thoughts were sorrowful. There was a few gushing in like; h.e.l.lo to my revenge, h.e.l.lo to long hours of schemings.
Yes, long hours of scheming, man! What people do not know is that a good plan takes hours on ends, a perfect one takes days. Oh, and those that are especially brilliant, they take years in the making.
Now back to my cheerful and happy thoughts, h.e.l.lo to bringing Professor Dumbledore down a notch, and h.e.l.lo to stealing Professor Dumbledore"s phoenix? Now I do not know why, but that idea has been stuck in my mind like forever. It has been prancing around in there, and I do believe that if I do not do it, one of these days, I think it will be there permanently.
Arghh! That would honestly drive me f.u.c.king insane. You have no idea how maddening it is already. This d.a.m.nable idea is right at the forefront of my mind, and just keeps on replaying in there.
Now if I had it for all eternity, let"s just say me raging out on people for no absolute reason, right out of the blue. That is going to be the least of our problems.
Anyways, whatever I was thinking, that Hagrid would do. You know like scream and shout... things I would totally do for sure. Well, it did not happen. Which was a real shocker to me!
The half giant just smirked as he shook his head from side to side. Hagrid then spoke up to clarify things. Thank G.o.d for that, since I am just bewildered and confused with what is going on with the guy.
"Look here, Caelum. I have known yeh for quite some time now. Plus we even have a business dealing with each other.
During that time, we were dealing with each other, yeh never cheated me or skimmed me- to my knowledge." I rolled my eyes at that small commentary that Hagrid added.
"Now, here we are today. Hmmm?"
As Hagrid was taking, I held my breath at every word he has said. Still, once I heard that last part, I nearly stopped breathing right then and there. But I controlled myself from having a coughing fit, and let him continue on.
Hagrid sighed then moved on, "Like I said, I have known yeh very well for some time. And I am a pretty good judge of character... most of the time." When he said that last part, there was pain and... anger in his eyes. Something you do not see that much in the good natured, half giant.
I knew immediatly who he was talking about. Sirius Black!
Before I could put more considerations into Sirius Black, Hagrid proceeded on. It was like nothing was wrong at all since the anger was gone from his eyes, or it is just hidden well, waiting for it to materialize when the time calls for it.
"I know that you are a good person, deep down inside. Yeh just do not know what to do with it. It is funny seeing yeh struggle so hard to do the things in yeh nature.
I do not know what pains yeh so greatly, that yeh are suspicious of every one and every thing. But what I do know is that, at the end of the day, yeh principled nature always wins out."
I just stared at the half giant, with my mouth gaping wide open. Did he just get deep and philosophical with me? Wow, I never expected that from him. And the way he reads people, you would never expect that the large lumbering man, had it in him.
I say this many times. Now I am going to say it forever. People really underestimate the half giant!
Before I could process this shock any more, the next few words of Hagrid filled me with another dosage of shock... and glee.
"Anyways, what I am trying to say is that yeh a good person. I know that yeh did not do this on purpose. Whatever the story is, behind all this, I do not care. Yeh are forgiven."
At that utterance of that sentence by Hagrid, relief poured through me. My business deal is safe, was the only thought that played in my mind.
Although I do not see this deal, we just stuck coming through. Still, you cannot win them all. I do totally regret not getting my hands on those three other remains today. However as long as Hagrid hangs on to them, there is still hope, that I might get them one of these days.
I quickly got up from my chair, and straightened out my robe. Smiling brightly to Hagrid, I said to him, "Thanks for the second chance, Hagrid. I promise this will never happen again on my watch. Also, I will seek out the proper retaliation against the mastermind behind this... false phoenix tears."
Hagrid nodded his head along as he heard me, "Good, teach that b.a.s.t.a.r.d a good lesson or two!"

I smiled at Hagrid tumultuous reply, and it was not a pleasant one at all. With a deep chuckle, that was not filled with any mirth at all, I added. "I might just steal their Phoenix to teach them a good lesson."
