===============================================================
It was a really dull morning at Number 4 Privet Drive. For one thing, today was Harry Potter's birthday and as always, the Dursleys couldn't care less.
'Harry!' yelled Uncle Vernon.
'What?'
'What did you do to Dudley's fish?' he asked, quite impatiently.
'Nothing, if the thing's dead, it must've died because he kept feeding it. I sure as heck didn't do anything,' he replied.
Harry seldom replies to Mr. Dursley like this, only when he goes over the limit. It's Harry's birthday today and Mr. Dursley still blames him for everything that goes wrong in the house.
'You watch your language, boy! Or I swear I'll,'
'You'll what? Lock me in the cupboard again?' he interrupted. 'My godfather would simply love the idea.'
Harry thought he saw Vernon stop breathing for a second. He turned around and told his son, 'Dudley, next time you have a pet fish, don't overfeed it!'
Harry felt slightly satisfied. Of course, that didn't help much. He still had so much in his mind. He wondered whom he could tell. Then, suddenly, he thought of writing to Sirius. He hasn't for some time now and with what and with what he's thinking about right now, he needs some grown up advice.
When he got to his room, 5 owls perched near his bed overwhelmed him. One of which, was Hedwig. 'So you've arrived from Hermione's then?' he asked the snowy-white bird. She cooed affectionately and he opened her letter.
Dear Harry, I'm sorry I'm a bit late but Happy Birthday anyway. I knew Hedwig wouldn't be able to make it by midnight so I let her stay here at Krum's. Anyway, your beautiful bird wasn't able to bring you your present so I'll just meet you in Diagon Alley and give it to you. Happy Birthday again. Till then! Love, Hermione.
He set the letter to one side and went to the teeniest owl- Pig. Once he caught him, he opened Ron's letter.
Hey Harry, Happy Birthday! I hope I made it just in time. I asked Percy if I could borrow Hermes but he kept saying no. So, I blackmailed him and now your present is with his owl. Hermione told me she's staying over at Mr. Hotshot's manor. She also told me that she's meeting you in Diagon Alley. I'm going too. I'll see you then! Hope the Dursleys are still at bay. Ron
He turned to Hermes and opened his present. It was a complete set of Quidditch Player cards. There were Quidditch members from Ireland, England, Bulgaria and more. Harry noticed that the Krum card had been drawn on. There was a note.
Here Harry, these are my extra cards. I have three complete sets so I thought my best bud would like one. Sorry about Krum. Ron
Harry smiled a bit and opened Hagrid's letter.
Dear Harry, Happy Birthday! I know those muggles aren't giving you anything sweet to munch on so I went down at Honeydukes and bought you some of these. Take care now. Hagrid
Harry looked at the owl that he took Hagrid's letter from and saw that it had a small bag attached to it. He opened the bag and found 10 chocolate frogs, 2 boxes of Bertie Botts every flavor beans and more sweets from Honeydukes. He felt really grateful for these presents.
Then, he went to the last owl. It was a barn owl. He opened the letter attached and he read it silently.
Dear Harry, Happy 15th Birthday! I attached a small key and an emerald green ring to this owl. The key is from Moony, Padfoot and Prongs. It opens any door with a lock. It even works when 'Aloha Mora' doesn't. Your mother gave the ring to me. She said that as your godfather, I should give this to you when you turn 15, as her godfather did to her. She said you'd know what it does when the time comes.
I'm still well hidden so don't worry. And as usual, contact me if anything peculiar happens. Take good care of yourself. Sirius
He took the silver key and the ring from the barn owl and put it aside with his other presents. Then, he picked up a role of parchment and a quill and began writing.
Hermione, I'll meet you on August 25th, around noon, say twelve? I'll be waiting for you and Ron in the Leaky Cauldron. I'm taking the Knight Bus. I know the muggles'll never drive me there under any circumstances whatsoever. So I'll see you then. Take care over there. And could you tell Ron? Thanks. Harry
He tied the letter to Hedwig's leg.' Now give this to Hermione, would you?' and gave her a treat. She nibbled on his hand and set off.
