Hark! What could it be? Another chapter from the fic of the Tree!
Hello!!!
Well, what a day! I didn't get to bed until half past seven this morning after being sat in the computer room since eleven! I managed to get an hour and a halfs sleep before I had to trundle over to edit my abstract music video... Locked in a little room on my own for 4 and a half hours - I started to turn a little *more* peculiar... I was talking to myself at one point.... Gah! But it's all finished now at least and I won't have to go back over tomorrow to finish it off!! Oh yes I have the skills! (Said video will be posted up here whenever I get a copy - it's er - interesting...)
So enough of my inane blathering and onto the good shit! lol! (I watch way too much Spaced for my own good *Simon Pegg - swoon!*) Here is as promised an update of my 'little' fic... Hope you like!!
Love ya guys!

Chapter 3
The hot summer sun continued to beat down upon me. Here there were no other trees to provide me with even the smallest amount of shade. My thoughts started to wander as I thought about why I had been moved. Surely it was something important. Something only a Whomping Willow could do, otherwise surely an Oak or a birch would have sufficed. Pride once again began to well up inside me as I remembered the large mans words. He had mentioned Dumbledore. Every creature, every tree, every living thing no matter the depths of the forest in which they lived had heard of Dumbledore. Would I finally get to meet this magnificent man, this powerful wizard? Oh I sincerely hoped I would.
Eventually night began to fall and I truly felt cold and alone. I bade goodnight to my family, though I knew they could not hear me, and settled down to contemplate the possibilities for the rest of my life.
As the sun rose the next day, a man with long white hair and a long white beard, clad in robes of periwinkle blue approached me. As he drew closer I noticed that the eyes behind the half moon glasses matched the colour of his robes. As he cast his eyes over me he looked friendly and relaxed. He turned as a noise sounded on his right.
'Ah, Hagrid', he said with warmth in his voice. 'A splendid guardian. Thank you for finding it.'
'S'no problem', the man, Hagrid, replied.
Splendid guardian. Now that was more like it. I wondered what it was I would be guarding.
'I trust everything is in place for the start of the school year', Dumbledore continued.
'Oh yes Dumbledore Sir', Hagrid nodded. ' Sorted. Nothin' teh worry about.'
So this was indeed the famous Dumbledore. He was even more awe inspiring than I could have ever imagined. Power exuded from his every pore along with a calmness that seemed to radiate from him. Oh yes, if I had, had to leave the forest I was glad it was for him.
'Well as you know the students will be arriving next week so everything must be secure', the Headmaster implored, his piercing gaze resting on Hagrid.
' 'Ave I ever let you down before?' Hagrid questioned.
Dumbledore's eyes crinkled as he chuckled.
'Very true,' he replied as he patted Hagrid's arm.
After a few more exchanges the two men walked up to the castle. Now that was something to think about. My purpose to guard something. Something apparently important.
