Diagon Alley
Harry awoke the next morning and suddenly realized that it was his birthday. He went downstairs for breakfast and was greeted with a chorus of "Happy Birthday Harry" from everyone. Harry thanked them and afterwards they all set off for London.
They arrived at the Leaky Cauldron and were greeted by a rather slow, carefully speaking, sort of man. They figured he must be new to that area of England because he had a slight accent that showed that he had to be from somewhere else in Britain.
As they walked around Diagon Alley they speculated who this mysterious man could be because his accent showed that he was new to the area. They were also speculated what he was doing in this area when he was obviously from elsewhere. They also spent some time at the Ice Cream Parlor, and Hermione told Harry how much she really enjoyed having him stay with them over the Summer.
Harry soon discovered that it was more than being one of Hermione's best friends that made him want to spend a lot of time with her, it was how she made him feel that made him want to be with her. He was beginning to fall in love with her more and more with each passing day. However, he knew that this would outdo him in the end as Voldemort was sure to take advantage of this if he knew. Harry had to be extra careful as he already knew that there was nothing he wanted more than to return at full power and for Harry to be dead. HE would stop at NOTHING to achieve that. Harry tried not to focus all his energy on that, school was going to start up again soon, and they were hoping to find out why Ron had to be in Romania all of a sudden for some secret reason. They were determined to find out why he communicate all summer. They looked forward to seeing him again and getting all things on their minds answered.
