A/N this is my first fic so be nice
I woke up from the same dream I have been having for the past couple of weeks, Cedric's dead body just lying there emotionless just a blank expression. I knew it sounded silly it must have been a month since he had died but secretly he knew he was partly responsible for the death of his fellow triwizard
Champion. Suddenly he was snapped out of his dream trance by a loud hooting of 6 owls the first one he recognised as his own snowy owl hedwig the second one was Ron's owl pigwidgeon
But the other four he did not recognise as any he knew, there was
One barn owl and two screech owls. He untied the packages off the owls before letting them drink some water. Then it struck him it was his birthday so he untied the package from Ron and read
Dear Harry
I wrote to tell you 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' and that I am a prefect
And yesterday mum said that professor dumbledoor's allowing you to come over for the holidays so we will pick ya up tomorrow cool. Have you heard anything from Sirius and don't let the muggles get you down.
From
Ron
Next Harry opened the package that contained a cake and a green box with the words 'quidditch balls' "oh thanks Ron"
Harry admired it with a hooting hedwig in the background.
Next he opened the package his owl brought it read
Dear Harry
Happy birthday I brought you something I found in flourish and
Blotts last week I hope you like it.
From Hermione
P.S. I am a prefect
"I knew you would be a prefect" next he opened the other part of the package to find a book on animagus "oh thanks" he said to noone he opened the next package which was sealed with
The hogwarts crest, it seemed heavier than usual which was probably due to the fact that there were 4 pieces of parchment in there the first piece of parchment read

"Wow that man knows everything" he opened the next piece of parchment, which read

"Cool" Harry commented next he opened a package with the word "Harry" scribbled across the top 'hagrid' he thought but he opened it to find a book on quidditch called 'quidditch players the good the bad the ugly' "sweet" he whispered as he admired the cover of this glamorous book the next letter was a letter from Sirius asking how he was and attached to it was a pensieve "thanks Sirius" he said. Next he looked at the last letter, which was sealed with the dark mark he cautiously opened the next letter it read
The Dark lord IS AFTER YOU!!!!!
Harry was scared by this sentence even though it was not the first one he had been sent after this he went back to sleep knowing that he would be going to the Weasleys tomorrow.
