Harry Potter and the Amazing Green Eyes

Chapter One Harry's 16th Birthday

It was a hot day at number four Privet Drive. In fact, it was the hottest day it had been in Britain for exactly sixteen years. The last time it had been this hot was July 31, 1987, the day Harry Potter was born.

"Come on Lily, puuuush! One more good push and our beautiful baby boy will be out!" James said encouragingly to his sweating wife.

"Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh! James, do you have any idea how hard it is to deliver a baby under any circumstances???? Let alone 130 degrees Fahrenheit!! Stop being so damn encouraging!!!!!!!"

"Okay, I'm sorry, what can I do to help?"

"Stand there silently!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

An adorable baby boy emerged within Albus Dumbledore's arms. He is magically cleaned off with a flick of James' wand. The baby had a tuft of jet black hair, identical to his father's, and emerald green eyes, which matched his mother's perfectly.

"Would you like to hold him Lily?" Albus asked gently.

"Of course Albus. He is simply beautiful. James and I have already settled on a name, Harry James Potter."

"That name suits him perfectly, Lily." Dumbledore replied.

No normal Privet Drive citizen would be outside in weather as hot as 130 degrees. Harry Potter was not normal citizen though. Harry was an orphan who had grown up with his Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia, and cousin Dudley. None of which cared very much about him. He also happened to be wizard who attended Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He could be seen outside that day. It was his sixteenth birthday but nobody cared, at least no muggle cared. Mrs. Figg had gotten him a nice set of apothecary items but he had not yet received gifts from his friends.

That was why he was outside to begin with. He was scanning the sky for owls. He had just sent an owl to Hermione who was vacationing in Egypt. She had bushy brown hair and was at the top of their year at Hogwarts. He was inquiring as to whether she had received her OWL results, and if so, how she did. This was the other thing he was awaiting, his OWL results that should come at the end of July. He had also received an owl from Ron a couple of days ago telling them that Fred and George were having tremendous luck with their joke shop, The Weasley Wizarding Wheezes. Ron was Harry's best friend. He was tall and gangly with vivid red hair. Fred and George were Ron's twin brothers, also with flaming red hair. They had left Hogwarts in the middle of their seventh year to escape the Hogwarts High Inquisitor, Professor Umbridge.

"Oh well," sighed Harry. " I guess my results will just be late." he told himself as the sun set.

"Get in here and wash up for dinner now!!" yelled Petunia.

Harry had been hoping that Dumbledore's howler would have made her act a bit nicer towards him. "Fat chance, if anything it had made her more bitter" he thought as he trudged inside.

"Boy, hurry it up, we're hungry!" Uncle Vernon yelled.

"Yes Uncle Vernon," Harry replied. At that moment, he was so infuriated with his life, especially now that he knew he would stay with his aunt and uncle every summer until he finished school, that as he peered into the mirror, he saw something that caught his eye. He thought he saw Sirius in the mirror Hermione had repaired for him on the train. Just for a second, but Harry was sure he had seen him. Harry had not thought he would ever see Sirius again, for he had tried the mirror many times that summer with no luck. "I must be seeing things," Harry thought as he looked back at the mirror and nothing but his own reflection was there.
