Hey! Here is the first chapter to the sequel to "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix". Yes I know I said I was not going to do a sequel but I got this idea in AP so you know how it goes. Right now this is going to be a half year fic, and it will probably stay that way so whatever. I hope you enjoy this story and I would suggest reading HP and the OoP before reading this one! Please R/R!
The sun was coming in attempting to wake up the sleeping boy in the bed. The birds were also trying as they chirped near the open window. The boy however was still sleeping but not for long as a small creature jumped on his bed in an effort to wake him up.
"Mr. Potter wake up," the house elf started the shake the boy. "You have a guest."
The creature waited for the boy to wake. She kept shaking him and calling his name. Finally the boy started to stir, though very slowly, "Huh?" he mumbled.
"Mr. Potter must get up, you have a guest," the house elf said again.
The house elf satisfied that he was going to get up because he had spoken got off the bed. She walked to the door but as she reached up for the handle, she heard soft snores from the bed.
"Mr. Potter," she went back to the bed. She shook him for a few minutes.
"Who?" Harry Potter asked waking up again.
"Come Mr. Potter," not revealing who the guest was she pulled the sheets off the bed.
"I'm up, I'm up!" Harry put a hand through his black messy hair and sat up. He yawned loudly.
"Come Mr. Potter," the house elf, Rosy said again and put a clean towel and bathrobe in his hand. "Quickly now." She pushed him into the bathroom that connected with his room and then left the room. Outside two men who were leaning against the wall greeted her.
"Is he as bad as James?" one asked.
"Just as bad," the house elf sighed tired from waking him up.
"Thank you very much Rosy," Sirius Black patted the house elf on the shoulder.
Fifteen minutes later Harry emerged from his room, his hair still wet and all over the place. He yawned again as he looked and saw a house elf pulling on his robes.
"Tell me what is-" Harry started but they had reached the top of the stairs and Harry gaped.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARRY!"
He stood there his mouth opened wide gaping. There in the Entrance Hall was Ron, Hermione, and the Quidditch team, Sirius as a dog, Remus, the rest of the Weasleys, the other 5th year boys, Dumbledore, and some members of the Order.
"Wow," Harry laughed weakly.
"Lunch is being served," Rosy came up next to him.
"Er right," Harry looked down and nodded at the house elf. He walked down to where everyone else. Ron clapped him on the back followed by the other boys in his dorm. He received a hug from the former Chasers and jokingly the twins pinched him cheeks and cried that he was getting so big. He received a smile from Dumbledore and some of the members of the Order who included Fletcher, Simon and Arabella Figg. Remus hugged him and Snuffles jumped up on him. Harry ruffled the top of his head as a greeting. Mrs. Weasley gave him a motherly hug and then putting one arm around Hermione and the other one Ron's shoulder they made their way to the dining room.
"Your chair Mr. Potter," Rosy pulled the head chair out for him and when he was seated everyone else sat.
"This is a surprise," He smiled at Hermione knowing that she had planned this.
"It was your godfather, who planned most of it," She smiled back. "He thought you should have a proper birthday party."
Dean Thomas, who was sitting next to Hermione, had heard although Hermione had been talking softly, "You have a godfather Harry?"
Hermione looked from Dean to Harry and then at Ron. She bit her lip.
"Of course he does," Remus called from down the table a little bit. With a look at Harry and then Snuffles who sat on the floor next to Harry he continued, "I'm his godfather. His parents and I were very good friends."
"Cool!" exclaimed Dean.
Just then food appeared on everyone's plates and they started to eat. The house elves brought out a plate for Snuffles who ate it right away. Remus from his seat could see Snuffles and he shook his head, "Snuffles I did feed you before we left."
"Is that your dog?" Seamus asked Remus.
"Yes I found him about a year ago on the streets," Remus nodded. He looked at Snuffles who now had his head on Harry's lap. "Harry took care of him for me when he first got on vacation and it seems he likes Harry very much." He smiled at Harry.
"Enjoying your summer Harry?" Dumbledore called from the other end of the table.
"Very much so," Harry replied.
"I'm sure that will last," Dumbledore chuckled, "your O.W.L results are being send out tomorrow."
There was a groan from five people. Ron shook his head miserably.
"I've been meaning to ask," Harry asked but stopped as he drank some pumpkin juice. "How many O.W.Ls did my parents get?"
Remus laughed aloud, "Too many." He took a bite of his sandwich. "James got 20, one of our friends got 19 and Lily got 18."
"20? Ron gaped at Remus. "Bill got 12 and he was Headboy."
Remus shrugged, "They rewrote some spells, added in some background information and their essays were really long."
"How many did you get?" Charlie asked.
"15," Remus shrugged again.
"That's good," Charlie nodded.
"How long did they study for?" asked Harry.
The adults laughed and Snuffles pretended to look hurt, "The Marauders study? Are you kidding me? They never picked up a book! They spent the whole week in detention."
"They were talented," Dumbledore's eyes twinkled as he looked down at Snuffles who wagged his tail.
There was silence as the group ate. Harry was marveling at the number of O.W.Ls his father and Sirius got. For about an hour they ate only making small talk.
When they finished they all got up and went into the seating room. There was a pile of presents in the center of the room. Harry gaped at them and then looked around at everyone in the room.
"Happy Birthday Harry!" everyone cheered. Laughing at Harry's face they all sat down and nudged Harry to open his presents.
He first opened a box that had a tag on it that said, "To Harry from Remus and Snuffles." It had a paw print next to Snuffle's name. Harry smiled at his godfather and Remus. He opened it up to find a box full of things. He took out a small book.
"Lily Marie Evans"
"Its her diary," said Remus. "I found it in a Mansion that one of our friends owned, it was with other items."
"Thank you," He looked back in the box to find some schoolbooks, random pieces of parchment, and some pictures. He smiled and put the box down wanting to go through that privately. He went on to his next present, which was candy from Ron. He smiled at his friend, put it down, and went on. Charlie gave him a new pair of dragon hide gloves; Mrs. Weasley gave him a new sweater with the Potter crest on it. Fletcher gave him some Dark Arts detectors, and Dumbledore a book about curses. He then opened a box from Hermione and it was a book. He laughed and picked it up, "A book of course."
"Open it," she scolded him.
He did and on the first page was a picture of Ron, Hermione and himself from their second year. He looked up at her surprised. She was grinning. He looked back down and flipped through the pages, it was full of pictures of them.
"Thank you," he said softly. He held it tight in his hands and looked back at her. Their eyes locked and both smiled.
"Okay Quidditch time," Ron got up and everyone laughed. The twins came over and grinning pulled Harry to his feet.
"The Pitch is calling you," they said. Ron ran out of the room and met back up with them in the Entrance Hall holding the Firebolt and spare brooms for everyone else.
Dumbledore, Mrs. Weasley, Arabella, Fletcher, Simon and Snuffles stood in the stands as everyone else mounted their brooms. The twins and Harry had begged Remus to play making their number 14. Snuffles practically nudged him all the way to the center of the Pitch with his nose until he gave in. Throwing up his hands and warning that he would get Snuffles later, he mounted. It was a weird game. The teams were Harry, Hermione, Dean, Remus, Fred, Ginny and Katie against Ron, Neville, George, Charlie, Bill, Alicia and Seams. Harry and Charlie were the Seekers and even with a Comet 260, Charlie made some good moves on the broom. He did some moves that Harry had never seen before and had to remind him to ask Charlie about later.
Remus was the big surprise of the game. Harry had never been able to picture his former Defense against the Dark Arts teacher on a broom and good at it. He was a Chaser and he surprised everyone by scoring three goals for the team. He smiled when asked when he learned how to fly. Hermione and Neville were hopeless at flying. Ginny was a Keeper and a good one.
It was in the middle of the afternoon when Harry caught the Snitch. He and Charlie had been taking turns trailing each other and diving pretending, they had seen the Snitch. The Snitch was flying near Ginny when the two Seekers went after it. When the other players realized that the two Seekers were really going after it they all stopped and watched as they went into a huge dive following the Snitch. Playfully they hit each other a few times. Mrs. Weasley had to shut her eyes unable to watch as Charlie and Harry dove. Neither pulled out and it was only because of Harry being on the Firebolt that he won. Everyone cheered when he pulled out of the dive with the Snitch in his hand. Everyone landed.
"I didn't know you could fly so well," Harry said out of breath to Remus.
"He played Chaser for Gryffindor for 5 years," Dumbledore's eyes twinkled at his former student.
"A talent lost in the years," Remus shrugged. "That was the first time I have been on a broom in 20 years."
"You are full of surprises aren't you?" Fred nudged Remus.
Remus smiled, "You could say that."
They went back inside to get something to drink. They talked about Quidditch all the way back to the house and Charlie gave Harry some pointer and explained some of the moves. He listened very interested.
They had been inside for awhile when the twins stood up, "Would everyone excuse us for a minute? We need to see the birthday boy privately."
"No tricks," Mrs. Weasley warned.
"Wouldn't dream of it," George said innocently.
"Come Snuffles," Harry said and he got up and followed the twins up to his room.
Up in Harry's room Sirius transformed, "What do you have to show me?" He asked very much like a child expecting candy.
"Well," Fred took some things out of his pocket, "The Amazing Bouncing Ferret Chocolate." He showed some candy to Sirius. "Eat it and you will turn into a ferret and bounce along like Draco Malfoy."
George picked up something else, "Quills. Ordinary quills expect they shoot water, ink and pumpkin juice at anyone."
"Um," Sirius picked it up and shot some water out of it, "I've only seen these things shoot water."
"We fixed it up a little bit," Fred grinned.
"Ah, our newest creation, puff cakes," George said picking up something and showing it to Sirius.
"They make you blow up," Fred continued, "much like Harry's aunt."
Sirius was looking at it when he heard this. His glance went over to Harry; "You blew up an Aunt? Who?"
"Marge, Vernon's sister. She was insulting my parents and she kind of puffed up," Harry said shyly.
"These are good," Sirius commented and smiled at the twins. "I'd love to see them in action."
"That can be arranged," the twins grinned at each other.
"Anything else?" Sirius asked hopefully.
"That's it for now," Fred said sadly.
"Its good boys," Sirius nodded. "Try these on Moony, watch out for Fletch though he'll curse you into next year."
The twins packed up their stuff and headed back downstairs. Sirius transformed into a dog and followed them to the kitchens. They gave the stuff to the house elves and then proceeded into the seating room where everyone was still talking.
The house elves came in a minute later and offered food to everyone. Remus took something as did Dumbledore, Charlie and Bill. The twins and Harry passed, as did Mrs. Weasley. With a smile at the twins, Harry waited and in a second, there was three bouncing ferrets and Remus blowing up. Everyone expect Mrs. Weasley and Fletcher were laughing. Hermione was trying not to but the memory of Draco Malfoy bouncing along cause her to laugh out loud. Snuffles was rolling on the floor as though laughing. In about 10 more seconds Dumbledore, Bill, Charlie and Remus turned back into their normal selves and by this time Snuffles was banging his paws against the floor.
"Is Snuffles laughing?" Bill asked trying to get the attention away from him and the other victims.
"Ah well he is a very strange dog," Dumbledore looked down sharply at Snuffles. The Quidditch team and the fifth year boys were looking at Snuffles as though he had grown another head. Snuffles seeing this put his paws on his head guilty.
"It's almost as he is human," Charlie commented.
"Ah Fred tell me what that was," said Dumbledore changing the subject.
"Puff cakes sir," Fred grinned in a winning way. "We got the idea from Harry, he blew up his aunt once!"
"Yes I do remember hearing that," Dumbledore glanced at Harry.
"Vernon's sister was making fun of my parents and I er got upset," Harry explained.
"You almost got expelled for that," Mrs. Weasley scolded him.
"I know but Sirius Black the murderer was after me," Harry shook his head.
"We haven't heard much from him Harry," Seamus spoke. "Maybe he decided to stop going after you."
"Maybe," shrugged Harry.
"Well it's getting late," Dumbledore stood up. "I'd better go."
"And so should we," Mrs. Weasley agreed.
"Hey we will be around in a few days," Ron clapped Harry on the back.
"You're not staying?" asked Harry disappointed.
"We thought you deserved some time with your godfather," Mrs. Weasley told Harry.
"Thanks for coming then," Harry hugged Mrs. Wealsey, "Thanks for everything."
He hugged Hermione and then shook hands with everyone else. The boys left, as did the Quidditch team. He was soon left with Snuffles and Remus. Snuffles checked to make sure everyone was gone and then transfigured back into himself.
"How long will you be staying?" Harry asked him.
"Until the end of the week," Sirius told him.
It was about dinnertime and they sat down to eat. They talked long about James, their days at Hogwarts, and what was happening in the world now. Harry was never so happy, first he had the best birthday of his life and now his godfather would be staying with him for a week. He smiled at both of them glad they were around.
