“Shhh!” hissed Professor McGonagall, “you’ll wake Fill in the blank 1 of 13 Muggles!”
“S-s-sorry,” sobbed Hagrid, taking out Fill in the blank 2 of 13 large, spotted handkerchief and burying his face in it. “But I c-c-can’t stand it — Lily an’ James dead — an’ poor little Harry off ter live with Muggles -“
“Yes, yes, it’s all very sad, but get Fill in the blank 3 of 13 grip on yourself, Hagrid, or we’ll be found,” Professor McGonagall whispered, patting Hagrid gingerly on Fill in the blank 4 of 13 arm as Dumbledore stepped over Fill in the blank 5 of 13 low garden wall and walked to Fill in the blank 6 of 13 front door. He laid Harry gently on Fill in the blank 7 of 13 doorstep, took Fill in the blank 8 of 13 letter out of his cloak, tucked it inside Harry’s blankets, and then came back to Fill in the blank 9 of 13 other two. For Fill in the blank 10 of 13 full minute Fill in the blank 11 of 13 three of them stood and looked at Fill in the blank 12 of 13 little bundle; Hagrid’s shoulders shook, Professor McGonagall blinked furiously, and Fill in the blank 13 of 13 twinkling light that usually shone from Dumbledore’s eyes seemed to have gone out.

“Well,” said Dumbledore finally, “that’s that. We’ve no business staying here. We may as well go and join Fill in the blank 1 of 19 celebrations.”
“Yeah,” said Hagrid in Fill in the blank 2 of 19 very muffled voice, “I’ll be takin’ Sirius his bike back. G’night, Professor McGonagall — Professor Dumbledore, sir.”
Wiping his streaming eyes on his jacket sleeve, Hagrid swung himself onto Fill in the blank 3 of 19 motorcycle and kicked Fill in the blank 4 of 19 engine into Fill in the blank 5 of 19 life; with Fill in the blank 6 of 19 roar it rose into Fill in the blank 7 of 19 air and off into Fill in the blank 8 of 19 night.
“I shall see you soon, I expect, Professor McGonagall,” said Dumbledore, nodding to her. Professor McGonagall blew her nose in reply.
Dumbledore turned and walked back down Fill in the blank 9 of 19 street. On Fill in the blank 10 of 19 corner he stopped and took out Fill in the blank 11 of 19 silver Put-Outer. He clicked it once, and twelve balls of light sped back to their street lamps so that Fill in the blank 12 of 19 Privet Drive glowed suddenly orange and he could make out Fill in the blank 13 of 19 tabby cat slinking around Fill in the blank 14 of 19 corner at Fill in the blank 15 of 19 other end of Fill in the blank 16 of 19 street. He could just see Fill in the blank 17 of 19 bundle of blankets on Fill in the blank 18 of 19 step of Fill in the blank 19 of 19 number four.

“Good luck, Harry,” he murmured. He turned on his heel and with Fill in the blank 1 of 15 swish of his cloak, he was gone.
Fill in the blank 2 of 15 breeze ruffled Fill in the blank 3 of 15 neat hedges of Privet Drive, which lay silent and tidy under Fill in the blank 4 of 15 inky sky, Fill in the blank 5 of 15 very last place you would expect Fill in the blank 6 of 15 astonishing things to happen. Harry Potter rolled over inside his blankets without waking up. One small hand closed on Fill in the blank 7 of 15 letter beside him and he slept on, not knowing he was special, not knowing he was famous, not knowing he would be woken in Fill in the blank 8 of 15 few hours’ time by Mrs. Dursley’s scream as she opened Fill in the blank 9 of 15 front door to put out Fill in the blank 10 of 15 milk bottles, nor that he would spend Fill in the blank 11 of 15 next few weeks being prodded and pinched by his cousin Dudley… He couldn’t know that at this very moment, people meeting in Fill in the blank 12 of 15 secret all over Fill in the blank 13 of 15 country were holding up their glasses and saying in Fill in the blank 14 of 15 hushed voices: “To Harry Potter — Fill in the blank 15 of 15 boy who lived!”
