Harry Potter and the Ring of the Heir
Harry Potter walked into his room after a long day of doing chores outside for his aunt and uncle. When he entered his room, he smiled at the sight of it. The room was no longer the ugly beige colour it had been when he received it, but black with posters of his favourite punk rock groups, such as Korn, Nirvana, Limp Bizkit, Green Day, and more. Harry quickly slipped out of his black work clothes and changed into some of his new black pajama pants. In fact, all of his clothes were now black.
At the beginning summer, after the disastrous end to the Triwizard Tournament, Harry had felt that he needed a change. He had gone to Gringotts and exchanged some of his gold to muggle, non-magical, money. With the money, Harry bought a new wardrobe, all black clothes and shoes, a cd player w/ punk rock cds, the posters and black paint for his room, and even got his ear pierced.
Harry had also changed a lot physically over the last year. He had grown an amazing 8 inches since last summer, 3 of which had been in the last 2 weeks. He had also become a lot more muscular and tan from doing manual labour in the Dursley's yard, and his voice had lowered to the point where it made his uncle Vernon's voice seem high and squeaky.
Harry climbed into bed and quickly fell asleep. He instantly started having the same nightmare that had been haunting him every night since the Third Task. He would always find himself in the cemetery, watch Cedric fall to the ground because of the Death Curse. He would then duel the newly reborn Lord Voldemort. Right after he escaped the graveyard he would wake up in a cold sweat, afraid to fall back asleep. Tonight when he woke up he grabbed his glasses and look at the clock. It was already 2:30. He had been 15 for two and a half hours. As Harry was about to fall asleep again, must to his disliking, he heard a faint tapping sound on the window.
Harry climbed out of bed and opened the window. His owl Hedwig flew into the room first, followed by his best friend Ron's owl Pig who was carrying a large package with another family owl named Hermes. After the two Weasley owls came 6 unfamiliar owls carrying a long thin package. Finally, two more owls Harry didn't recognise flew through the window and landed on his bed. Harry quickly relieved the owls of the packages, and all except Hedwig flew back out the window.
Harry grabbed the package Hedwig brought him and saw that it was from his other best friend, Hermione. He opened the letter first. It read:
Harry~
Happy Birthday! How are you doing? I hope you aren't having too many nightmares. I found some information that I though you should read. I hope you like your present. See you soon.
Love,
Hermione
PS~ I've made Prefect!!
Harry opened the package and saw a stack of cds of some of his favorite bands and a small pile of papers about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Harry skimmed the packet and laughed. It described Harry's new attitude perfectly. Harry then turned to the package Pig and Hermes had been carrying. It was fairly large and heavy. He quickly read the letter, eager to see what was in the package.
Harry,
Happy Birthday! Hope the muggles are treating you ok. I think you might be able to stay with us soon. Dumbledore has been here a couple times putting charms on the house, and last time he said he was almost done. Did you hear Hermione is a prefect? Now we really won't be able to break rules. Have a good birthday and enjoy your present. (It's from the whole family, not just me)
Ron
Harry opened the package and gasped. It was a pensive. As he examined it, he found another note from Ron.
We thought you might need this after last years events. Use it well,
Ron
(And Family)
Harry carefully set the pensive aside and turned to the long skinny package. When he took the lid off the box he saw a new broom. On the handle it read "FIREBOLT2000". Harry searched for a note to see who would send him such an awesome present. He found the note at the bottom of the box and read it.
Harry~
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Sorry neither of us have written lately, but we have been doing jobs for Dumbledore. We'll be seeing you VERY soon, and if your scar hurts, remember to owl Dumbledore.
Love,
Sirius and Remus
PS~ Enjoy your present!
Harry put the Firebolt2000 by his Firebolt and moved on to the next package. He saw it was from Hagrid, and opened his card.
Harry,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope you like your present. It'll be useful in me class next year.
Hagrid
Harry glanced warily at the package and carefully opened it. A book emerged from the wrapping paper. The title read "The Most Dangerous Magical Creatures of Great Britain". At the sight of the title, Harry became worried about his fifth year Care of Magical Creatures class. He put the book down and looked at the last two letters. Both were from Hogwarts, but Harry chose to open the one that came with Hagrid's present. As Harry opened the envelope, a shiny prefect badge fell onto his lap. "Great, I'm a Prefect too," thought Harry sarcastically. He read over his book list and quickly set the letter aside. He opened the last letter and noticed a ring in the envelope. Harry pulled it out, and examined it. Harry took out the letter and saw it was from the headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore. It read:
Harry,
This ring was given to me to keep after your father's death. It belongs t the heir of both Godric Gryffindor and Rowena Ravenclaw, which is you. Your father had been keeping it for you until you turned 15. I have arranged a meeting for us on August 1st at 1:30. Just put the ring on and think of being in my office. We will discuss this and a few other things then. Happy Birthday Harry.
Albus Dumbledore
"Wow, I'm the heir of both Gryffindor and Ravenclaw? Scary." Harry thought. He put the ring on and instantly felt different. He felt more powerful and had more knowledge of spells curses, and magic all together.
After Harry cleaned up all the wrapping paper, he climbed into bed, excited that he would get to leave the Dursley's for a couple hours tomorrow afternoon.
