Later on a run down shack came into Harry's field of vision. Laced with straw tumbling down its roof, the diminutive cottage looked more like a construction site that had been abandoned than an actual home. Making an educated guess that this was the hermit's house, Harry plodded into it and started shouting:
"Hermit! Hermit!" At that moment a thick layer of grumbling was picked up by Harry's eager ear. Straining his eyes through the clogging smoke, he managed to pick out an entangled beard dangling off a shrivelled head. Soon more of the hermit's body came into view. He wore baggy jeans, a hippy-like t-shirt and finally, a tie that had definitely seen better days.
"You were calling me?" He muttered making a barely audible sound.
"Yep. I wanted to know if you could advise me about becoming the sun. I know it sounds quite far fetched but it would really make my day, or life, if you could at least give me a hint on how it is done." Harry replied, a touch of hope in his voice.
"Well... I don't exactly know but I might know somebody who probably will." The hermit said mysteriously. It was like a riddle that Harry couldn't be bothered to solve so in a fairly grumpy tone he grunted:
"Who is this person."
"She is named Lady Eatblue, a nun that happens to have more knowledge than all of the libraries in the world," Told the hermit. "She is located on the other side of the forest in a small town called Lumpyville. You might want to hurry if you want to catch her before dawn as she usually gets quite ratty by then."
"Thank you very much, your help will not go un-noticed." Stated Harry, so excited about leaving the shack that he looked like he was about to burst.
