Chapter 1 – The Birthday
Harry had turned 15 exactly 5 minutes ago. As he lay in bed staring up at the ceiling, he heard Hedwig poking the window.
"Finally!" he whispered as he opened the window to let Hedwig in. He quickly took the letter of her leg and let her nibble on some cake before she went to rest in her cage.
He tore open the note, and saw Ron's familiar handwriting.
Harry!
Happy 15th Birthday! How you've been? Sorry if your present is a little late, but Pig has been bickering at me to give her a job so it might take a while for your gift to get there. This is why I sent Hedwig with the letter. I asked her to hang around a bit just in case Pig fainted or something.
Just then Harry saw a small little gray ball shoot strait to his head. It was Pigwidgeon.
"Oi, calm down will you." He said as he caught the little gray fur ball in the air as if it was a golden snitch. Harry took the package off his legs, which made him weight many lighters and let him fly off towards Hedwig, whom didn't look very pleased. He set down the package on his bed and went back to the letter.
I hope you like the gift! Anyway my mum agreed to let you stay over here for the last week of vacation. Ask the muggles if you can come. If they say no, we'll go pick you up by floo powder anyway, late one night. If they say yes we'll go pick you up the muggle way with a ministry car.
Hermione said she could come, but she's arriving a bit early to help Ginny with something they wouldn't let me in on. Eh…I better spy on them…just for their safety not that I like spying on Hermione or anything…
"But I'm sure you don't mind Ron…".
Harry thought.Fred and George got me new robes! They're amazing! Where'd you reckon they got the money? Well I don't really care. I'll show you them when you get here. Answer with Hedwig, I don't think Pig is ready for another job,
See you soon,
-Ron
Harry's attention directed towards the package. He opened it and found a variety of sweets, from Bertie Bott's Every Flavored Beans to Chocolate Frogs. As he nibbled on every bit of sweets he had gotten, a new owl came fluttering in looking rather confused. Harry let her sit on his arm and waited for the owl to calm down. He then took a letter and a package from its legs and let it fly off. Harry looked curiously at the package and then at the letter. He opened the letter and recognized Hermione's hand writing.
Dear Harry-
Happy Birthday! I hope you're alright. Sorry if my new owl frightened you. That's right! Well it's not very new, my dad found her on a tree and I decided to train her like a magical owl. She hasn't had much experience and when I sent her to Ron's, Pig kept bouncing onto her. I don't think she was very pleased of her welcome. I do hope she's arrived alright. Her name is Augurey, you know after the Irish Phoenix, I read about it in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. The name was rather appealing. Anyway has Ron told you about his mum letting us stay at the Burrows? I can't wait to get there. I promised Ginny to help her in something. Don't ask what I won't tell you either. I know Ron has already probably told you about it. Ginny caught him reading one of the letters I sent her. Really!
Have you heard about the Christmas and End of Term ball happening this year? It should be a blast. I do hope Ron doesn't get all angry if someone else asks me before he does…well if he does. Oh my, please don't mention to him that I said that.
Hope to see you at the Burrows
Love,
-Hermione
Harry folded the letter and took the package from his bed. He opened it carefully, and saw, to his surprise, that it was not exactly a book but a 'picture book'. More precisely it was "The Quidditch World Cup Picture Book". Harry opened it in the middle and there he saw Volkov, one of the Bulgarian beaters from the last and only Quidditch World Cup Harry had attended. Volkov had swung hard at a passing Bludger with his small club, knocking someone Harry could recognize as Moran, an Ireland Chaser. Harry closed the book quickly as he saw the bludger was heading towards him. He smiled as he saw a large barn owl swoop in through his window and drop a heavy package on his legs followed by a rather small barn owl dropping a letter on top of it. Harry opened the letter first and saw that it was from Hagrid.
Harry-
A very happy birthday to yer! I made yer my own homemade rock cakes! How'd yer like 'em? I hope yer well. Professor Dumbledore has been nice nuff ter let me use one of the school owls ter send yer this gift. Great man Dumbledore…Well nuff I don't want ter get emotional.
Hope ter see yer soon
Love,
Harry closed the letter and opened the package, inside lay about a dozen of Hagrid's rock cakes which Harry didn't dare touch for he knew Hagrid's cooking all too well.
Harry lay back down in bed eating Bertie Bott's Every Flavored Beans ("Oh no sardines!") and looking down at his letters. Suddenly a very minute snowy white owl that looked like Hedwig's twin in a much smaller size came fluttering past his head and landed on Harry's bed. It was Cecilia, Sirius' owl. Harry jolted up and took the package and letter Cecilia had tied on her leg. She then flew out to Hedwig's cage where she rested her head on Hedwig's open wing.
Harry tore open the letter and read.
Dear Harry-
Happy 15th Birthday. I hope your enjoying yourself. Sorry I couldn't get you anything better, as Snuffles I couldn't well ask for a gift so I tried to do my best and go my way into getting you a cake. I hope Cecilia was up for the job she wasn't very pleased when she saw me turn into Snuffles and I accidentally stepped on her. Oh my well, everything is fine here. I can't wait to see you again and yes I am close enough to do that. I was thinking for you to meet me in Hogsmeade on your first visit back. You know where. Hope you have a nice time. Enjoy the cake its chocolate.
Love,
-
Harry re-read the letter and then opened the package where a perfectly round chocolate cake lay there. He nibbled a bit of it and then put all his present in his trunk.
"Happy birthday to me…" Harry sighed as he rolled over on his bed finally falling into a dreamless sleep at around 2 o'clock in the morning.
