Sprung 1-Harry's pleasant surprise
Don't have a hard time on me its my 1st Fan Fic…id like your reviews so I can no if I need to bother wasting my time.
It was still dark when Harry woke up…he looked at his clock-it read 3:04-he had been 17 for 3 hours and 4 minutes.
he got out of bed and walked over to his window he looked out hoping to see owls from his friends, that's when he saw it in the distance. it was a beautiful snowy white owl somewhat like his own-for a moment Harry thought it was his Owl but Hedwig was in his cage-it entered through the open window, dropped a fairly large parcel then left.
Harry opened the parcel to find a chocolate mud cake and a letter, he opened the Envelope and the letter read:
Dear Potter,
I'm very sorry about the way that I have treated you over the past 6 years and this cake is a peace offering for your 17th birthday, perhaps we can start the year afresh as friends.
Draco Malfoy
Harry re-read this letter a few times before 5 more owls came, he had a present from Hagrid, Ron, Hermz, Dumbledore and Mrs Weasley. Hagrid sent his usual rock cakes-which Harry daren't touch-Ron sent Harry a book on Quidditch, Hermz sent 2 tickets to a concert for a rock wizard band called 'The Suspects'-which Harry couldn't believe-Mrs Weasley sent a box of home made cakes and muffins from Dumbledore he received the usual Hogwarts letter.
Harry was not made head boy 'what a relief' he thought. he didn't doubt that Hermz would get head girl. Mrs Weasley said in her letter that they sent a letter to my aunt and uncle asking if I could stay at her place with Ron for the rest of the holidays.
At 0700 hours or 7 am Harry went downstairs and was surprised at what he saw the Dursleys where all dressed up. Vernon said to Harry well if that's what you want to wear out for your birthday fine-Harry went upstairs and got changed into some decent looking clothes-they went out to a very posh restaurant and Harry got presents from lots of people, he even got a birthday cake.
When he got home Harry went upstairs to write a letter to Ron and Hermz to tell them what had happened but when he got into his room Harry found a broom shaped parcel on his bed. a piece of Parchment was attached to it-Harry couldn't believe it. it wasn't possible but he recognised the handwriting to be Sirius's-the parchment read:
Harry, Happy 17th Birthday I cant believe your so old listen Harry I know you think im dead…well im sorry to have to spring this on you but im not and my name will be cleared very very soon. DON'T send Hedwig with any mail its too risky
Snuffles
his present was a Firebolt 3000 which hasn't even been released in England yet. he was amazed he sent a letter to Hermz and Ron straight away. all he said was
'Snuffles is alive he sent me a Firebolt 3000 Dursleys took me out for my bday
