The next morning Harry was the only one who was still asleep. Slowly and quietly a large amount of people crammed into the small orange bedroom and on the landing. The crowd was of Order of the Phoenix members, the Weasleys and a large amount of sixteen, and some seventeen year old teenagers.
Today was Harry's sixteenth birthday. This was the only birthday that Harry would be spending with his friends. They all got into position and then yelled at the top of their voices.
"SURPRISE." they all yelled.
Harry fell out of bed in shock and looked around quickly. He found many laughing faces and then Harry remembered about his birthday.
"Very funny guys. Jokes over, let me get dressed." said Harry happily, waving his hands for them to leave.
Everyone left the bedroom and allowed Harry to get dressed. Once he had clothed himself
he walked downstairs, where he was greeted by everyone, once again.
Harry sat at the table and wolfed down some breakfast. When he finished he thanked Mrs Weasley and entered the back garden, where everyone was sat.
They all said hello as he approached. Harry took a seat in between Cho Chang and Seamus Finnigan. Cho Chang was a very pretty girl, Harry use to have a crush on her, he didn't know if he still did. She had long black hair and a slim body. Seamus had a few freckles and had an Irish accent.
"So what we going to do, on Harry's birthday?" asked Dean Thomas curiously.
"We should do a sort of game. Something like truth or dare." said Cho Chang happily.
"Anyone heard of Seven Minutes In Heaven?" asked Seamus eagerly.
Nobody answered for a while, until Parvati Patil spoke. She had an excited tone of voice.
"I have. You have a bottle and a person sits in the middle, surrounded by the opposite sex. The person in the middle spins the bottle and they take the person it lands on, into a cupboard. In there they do anything for seven minutes." explained Parvati excitedly.
People muttered about this and some of the girls giggled. Every single girl looked at Harry eagerly. Harry pretended to not notice this.
"Couples or people who don't want to participate can sit out." said Seamus calmly. "Birthday boy first."
Harry choked on nothing. He looked at Seamus and then at the surrounding females. Most began to sit around him. Harry watched Ginny, Dean and Hermione go and sit on a bench. The boys all stood around watching.
Harry pulled a Butterbeer bottle towards him and then placed it on a piece of wood. Harry looked around at the surrounding girls and spun the bottle.
It span round and round. Then it begun to slow down. It slowed and made the surrounding girls hold their breath in anticipation. Then it stopped on, Cho Chang.
She gave Harry a hungry look and then stood up. Harry's heart stopped briefly. He wouldn't mind anyone, other than her. Harry stood up nervously and allowed Cho to pull him off, to a nearby barn.
Harry turned to Cho, once she shut the barn door. Cho walked over to Harry slowly and placed a hand on the back of Harry's head.
Cho pulled Harry towards her and then pushed him back against a wall. Harry felt Cho's tongue enter his mouth. Harry went with it. He kissed back and felt her body.
After seven minutes, Harry heard a loud knock on the door and then Seamus' voice sound.
"Seven minutes is up. Time for you to come out." he said happily, opening the door.
Harry left, with lipstick all over him. Cho followed all flushed and her top slightly twisted. Harry watched her sort her lipstick out and give a seductive smile to Harry. Harry smiled back, though wasn't sure why.
All the boys except Dean played Seven Minutes In Heaven. Strangely, no girl was picked twice. The game was over after a few hours. Hermione decided that Harry should open his presents.
The teenagers all entered a different barn, where a large mound of presents were stacked up high. Harry had never seen so many presents. Another shock to him, was that they were all his. Harry walked towards them and sat on a pile of hay, beside them.
The rest of the teenagers all sat around the barn, on large piles of hay. Harry looked at the various parcels and instantly knew that most of them were books. He thought that this was probably the best idea, as Voldemort was back and Harry would need as much knowledge as possible.
It took Harry an hour to open his presents and to thank everyone. Harry was right, most of the presents were books. Harry thought that every book was very useful. They were about powerful spells and other important magical things. Mad-Eye Moody had given Harry a seven compartment trunk, so he could carry everything.
Harry was reading a book about plants and their magical properties, when Mrs Weasley poked her head in the barn.
"Arthur will come and place some sleeping bags in here. You can stay here for the night, as there is so many of you. If you need anything, then please don't hesitate to ask." she said softly.
As soon as she left Arthur came in and gave a quick wave of his wand. Instantly a pile of sleeping bags appeared from nowhere. Everyone rushed forward and grabbed a sleeping bag each.
The girls took theirs to one side of the barn, whilst the boys took theirs to the opposite. This was the girl's idea, as they wanted to have "girl talk."
The boys laid around and chatted mostly about girls. Harry was shocked to hear that Neville had matured a lot. He wasn't a nervous, twitchy boy any more. He had become a person of his own age. He hadn't matured like Harry, who had become a young man. Though Neville had become a sixteen year old boy.
"I need to get a girlfriend. I haven't ever had one. If it wasn't for Harry, I would still be that nervous child. It was him who changed me. I looked up to him like a brother and in a strange way, a father. I know he is of same age, but he is older in his mind than any of us. He is a father figure to me. He changed me for the better." said Neville proudly, smiling broadly at Harry.
Harry was shocked to hear this. He could understand the brotherly figure, but was shocked to hear him as a father figure. Harry considered it. He had been like a father figure to Neville.
"Thanks Neville. That is the most amazing thing I have ever heard. I'm happy that you think of me like that." said Harry happily, patting Neville on the back.
For a few hours the boys played pranks on the girls, whilst they talked about the boys. They soaked the girls in cold water, before leaving for a walk in the garden.
The boys wrestled for a bit. Just having a laugh. When it went pitch black, Ron turned to Harry. Harry could only see Ron's flaming red hair.
"Harry, could I have a private word?" asked Ron seriously.
"Yeah sure. Hey guys, go back to the barn, me and Ron will be there soon." said Harry calmly, into the dark night.
"Harry, how do you feel about Hermione?" asked Ron quietly.
"What do you mean?" said Harry slowly, looking at Ron.
"I mean, do you like her in a more of a friend way?" asked Ron nervously.
"If I do?" said Harry calmly.
"It's just. I have liked Hermione since fourth year. I want to know whether you like her or not. There could be problems if you do." said Ron silently.
"Are you threatening me?" said Harry firmly.
"In a way. It's just, if you like her then we are going to be in competition for her heart. I don't want it, but if it occurs, then it may cause problems." replied Ron bravely.
"I have liked Hermione since third year. When we were rescuing Sirius, I thought that she was for me. I think we are the perfect match. If you are going to create problems, then it's on your head." said Harry coldly.
"Then I'm afraid, I have no choice but to stop you!" snapped Ron, withdrawing his wand.
Harry was too quick. He waved his wand at Ron, who flew back off his feet. Ron landed feet behind and then tried to get to his feet.
"Stupefy." yelled Harry aggressively, slashing his wand at Ron.
Ron was knocked unconscious. Harry heard quick footsteps behind him. He turned and lit his wand. All the girls and boys were looking at Harry's angry expression, and the unconscious Ron.
Hermione and Luna Lovegood ran forward and tried to revive Ron. Harry walked briskly back to the house and ran to his bedroom. He slammed the door shut and laid on the bed. No one bothered him.
