A snowy owl soared through the open window of Number 4 Privet Drive to find her master, Harry Potter, lying on his bed gazing up at the blank ceiling. When he didn't look up she nipped him hard on the finger to get his attention.
"Ouch! Oh hi, Hedwig," Harry said, coming out of his trance and rubbing his finger. He had been thinking bitterly for the millionth time of the trap he had brought all of his friends into a few weeks ago and that which killed his godfather, Sirius.
Why did I have to be so stupid? he thought to himself. If only I had tried a little harder with Occlumency, none of this would have happened. I would still have Sirius.
Aah! said a voice in his head, but it was Dumbledore's fault. If only he had been truthful, you would have been able to figure out that it was a trap from the start.
But he was just trying to protect me, issued a more powerful voice.
Harry had been battling with himself like this for weeks. Whose fault was it that Sirius was dead? He own? Or Dumbledore's? It was hard for him to realize the truth that it was many people misjudgments that led to his death.
No, he suddenly realized who caused all of this grief inside him. Voldemort. He has caused all of these families to be broken up and through him I have lost my mother, father, and now my godfather.
Coming to this conclusion, which put the blame on someone whom he detested, he turned to Hedwig to see what she had brought. Tied to her leg was a small package with a note on it and in her beak was another message in yellowish paper with green ink.
"My O.W.L. results!" Harry exclaimed as he took the envelope from Hedwig's beak. He hastily opened them to find a single letter that read:
Dear Mr. Potter,
We are pleased to give you the results of you O.W.L. exams.
Charms: Theory-Acceptable Practical- Exceeds Exceptions
Transfiguration: Theory- Exceeds Exceptions Practical- Exceeds Exceptions
Herbology: Theory- Acceptable Practical- Exceeds Exceptions
Defense Against the Dark Arts: Theory- Outstanding Practical- Outstanding
Potions: Theory- Outstanding Practical- Outstanding
Care of Magical Creatures: Theory- Exceeds Exceptions Practical- Outstanding
Astronomy: Theory- Poor Practical- Poor
Divination: Practical- Dreadful
History of Magic: Theory- Dreadful
Total O.W.L.s: 12
Enjoy your summer! Professor Minerva McGonagall
"12 O.W.L.s?! Oi!" Harry couldn't believe it. He had done much better than he had thought. How he got Outstanding in both potions exams he'll never know.
Well, I knew that I'd bomb Divination and Astronomy. And History of Magic was a definite because I barely answered any of the questions.
He couldn't believe it. Not only did he pass the truly important subjects, but also he is now eligible to take classes that just might send him on his way to his dream of becoming an Auror.
In the midst of his new happiness, Harry had completely forgotten that Hedwig still had a package to deliver to him. He untied the parcel from her leg and took off the note on top. It read:
Harry,
Happy Birthday! All of us here at the Order wanted to get you something special but then Hermione came up with a great idea. Why not take you somewhere? Especially since you have been cooped up in the house with not being able to go outside. We will pick you up from Privet Drive tomorrow night at 5:30 and then for the remainder of the summer you can stay at headquarters.
See you soon! Remus, Tonks, Alastor, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and the rest of the Order
P.S.- This small present is a clue as to where we are going.
Harry finished the letter and suddenly felt even better. He was to be leaving Privet Drive much earlier than expected and he was going to be going somewhere as a surprise. He hurriedly unwrapped the present and found a green book. Turning it over he realized that it was a book he had already read a couple of times at Hogwarts, Quidditch Through the Ages by Kennilworthy Whisp.
Hmm. where could we be going? he thought to himself as excitement coursed through him while he flipped through the pages of his new copy of one of his favorite books. The World Cup isn't this year so where?
Harry got up off his bed and started bustling around picking up his items that had been tossed messily around the room and started putting them away in his open trunk. His mind started going over the different possibilities as to where they could be going, and for the first time this summer, he was not thinking about or feeling the pain that came with losing Sirius.
