CHAPTER 1: Harry's Birthday
Harry looked at his clock radio (no not his but Dudleys old one that doesn't play music due to him throwing it out the window) it showed 11.59. One more minute and Harry would be 15! It changed to 12. For Harry he couldn't really be excited, he would have to wait till Hogwarts before getting any presents. But he was wrong just then Hedwig accompanied by Pig and another owl entered his room. Hedwig went and sat in her open cage followed by Pig after dropping a letter and a parcel. The other owl also dropped a letter and parcel that then flew out the window. He opened Ron's first. Dear Harry, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! How's life at the Dursleys? All is well I hope. I've had just about enough of Percy. He is still very upset about Crouch's death. Every morning before he goes to work he says, "All my work today is for you Crouch" looking at the ceiling. He's flipping mental. Mum is thinking of taking him to a doctor. Do you want to come here for the last few days of you hols? If so reply ASAP! Ron P.S. I hope you like your presents, George and Fred put a few lollipops in there. Don't worry they are safe.
Harry ripped open the parcel to reveal a cake and Fred and George's lollipops. GRED AND FORGES LOLLIPOPS THAT MAKE YOU GO HIGH. The second letter was from Hermione.
Hi Harry, Hope your well. Here's a little present for you. Don't worry there only bewitched to do that, they taste good. I'm in France at the moment I'll be back in two days. Yesterday Crookshanks (yes I took him with me), after going for a walk, returned with a black star on his back. Its not paint I've already tried to get it off. Oh well! He is acting so... strange lately, he so active. See you at the platform. Love Hermione P.S. Don't you just love the look of the owl. There's a great owl office here.
Harry opens Hermione parcel and there is a transparent box full of what looks like lips. He opens the box and takes one. It starts making smooching noises. Quickly Harry crams it into his mouth. He can still hear the Dursleys snoring. He grabs the letter Hedwig brought with her. From the look of things it was from Hagrid.
Hi ya Harry, Happy Birthday. Those muggles better be treating right. Here's a little present for ya. Oh a letter should be in there from Professor McGonagall about your school books. Hagrid.
Sure enough a letter from Professor McGonagall about books was in there. Harry opened Hagrid's parcel. "How to protect your wand from bewitching crimes" book. That should come in handy, thought Harry.
