Chapter 4:
The First Birthday

He looked up and saw Ginny smiling down on him. She rolled off him and
helped him up with a chuckle.

"Sorry Harry I was just so glad to see you. They wouldn't let me go see you
or anything so didn't know what was going on." She told him

"Well next time don't run me over ok and I will talk to them about not
letting you come." He replied. She raised an eyebrow at him.

"But I did hear about you and Parvati." She remarked grinning. "Mom was
talking about it when she came home. She seemed upset by it for some
reason." She recalled. He laughed at remembering that day.

"Oh that was because she found out that me and Parvati were making out
while they were outside waiting to see me." He explained.

"Really." She asked him through her laughter. He nodded. "That is the best
thing I have seen since I met up with Dean in Diagon Alley and Ron saw us."
Now it was Harry's turn to laugh. He could just imagine the look on Ron's
face when he caught them. "Hey lets go tot he kitchen you must be hungry
with all that hospital food you had to eat." She implied. He nodded and they
made their way to the kitchen talking about how their summers have been
going and plans for the school year. They were laughing the whole time
especially when he told her his plan. She volunteered at once to be apart of
it. When they entered the kitchen an outsider to this group would believe
that Harry and Ginny were going out, but this was untrue as they both acted
as siblings that could rival the twins in mischief making if they felt the
need rise. When they both sat down still talking adamantly they didn't take
notice of Petunia helping Mrs. Weasley with the dishes and Remus watching
her every move.

"Remus put your eyes back in your head." Hermione told him. This made Remus
shake himself and Petunia giggle while still cooking. Harry just laughed at
them both.

"So are you and my aunt going to get together or what" Harry asked him.
Remus went red at this. This was no ordinary shade of red it was a Weasley
shade that seemed to come when a person was really embarrassed.

"Well...umm...you see...ah" he started to stammer on.
"Go on and tell him Remus I am sure he won't care." Petunia interjected in
a sweet voice that Harry had never heard her use. Remus nodded and took a
deep breath.

"Well you see its not when were going to, when we did get to." He told him
looking down at the floor. A grin swept Harry's face.

"You guys got together while I was at St. Mongos didn't you" he asked but
already knowing the answer. Remus nodded. "Bloody hell." Once he said this
everyone turned shocked at Harry, they all thought he would be happy. He
laughed a little by their reaction. "What is it with hospitals that make
people want to get together." He groaned, but still smiling. Everyone
started laughing finally getting what he was saying. Everyone except for
Mrs. Weasley.

"Speaking of that Harry." But before she could get anymore out he started
to make a beeline for the door only to be find that it had snapped shut and
he ran smack into the door, falling down on his back. He looked up to see
Mrs. Weasley standing over him. "You thought that you could get away from
me that easily" she asked him.

"Of course I did, I did survive Voldemort several times." Everyone
shuddered at the name. He just laughed.

"Well I had to deal with six children, including the twins." she chuckled.

"Now someone is going to have a talk with you." Harry just shook his head he
knew what this talk was going to be about. "Yes someone is." she told him
sternly. He turned and looked at his aunt for pity and help, but she just laughed.

"We had a Weasley in our school, so I know about their temper. So I don't
want to have to face the Weasley temper either. I also don't think I would
be that good of help seeing the way Dudley turned out." She told him then
turned to Remus "Remus I think you should do it." He shook his head also.

"Not a chance. I was corrupted by James and Sirius, so I am no good
in that category." He told her grinning.

"Ah yes James and Sirius were not so good on that category either." She
said laughing remembering the good old days. "Remember when Sirius and
James tried to give you pointers and..." but Mrs. Weasley interjected.

"Enough, someone still has to talk to Harry, because I can't do it I still
go to talk to Ginny." This made Ginny blush a deep red and groan a "Mom".
Then the door swung open as no one saw Harry leave. When he finally reached
the top of the stairs he leaned up against a wall and sighed heavily.

"Man I dodged one their." He thought to himself. "It was embarrassing
enough for them to know what happened, but wanting to talk about it is to
much." He got off the wall and made his way to Buckbeacks room. But before
he got their he felt himself being lifted off the ground. He turned to see
Mrs. Weasley with her wand out.

"Thought you could get away from me that easily did you" she asked him. He
simply nodded not knowing what to say. He couldn't believe he got caught
again. She levitated him back into the kitchen where everyone started
laughing the moment he came through the door. "So who wants to do it." She
asked them. Immediately Fred and George stood up.

"Mum I think we will." said Fred
"Do it for you guys." interjected George
"Since we." but Fred didn't finish either as both of them were hit with a
full body-bind.

"Not a chance am I letting you to of all people talk to him about that. You
two are hardly adults." she yelled at them for even the suggestion.

"Honestly I don't want to have a talk." he tried to tell them. They all
started to bicker, especially when Harry took the jinx off the twins. Then a
voice from the door made them all jump

"I will talk to him." they all turned to see Mr. Weasley standing in the
doorway. Harry's eyes widened. Molly just beamed.

"Arthur good of you to volunteer. I hope you have better luck then you did
with Fred and George." and with that Harry felt a hand start to pull him out
the door. With one last pleading look back, everyone, except for Mrs.
Weasley, about to burst out laughing he was gone.

Harry was still visibly disturbed by the 'talk' that Mr. Weasley had given
him. He now understood why Ron was so distraught after his 'talk'. He had
figured that he had gone this long with out on that it would be unnecessary,
but no leave it to Mrs. Weasley to spoil it. Mr. Weasley spent a better part
of a hour telling him how he should treat women and the worse was when he
got to the subject of sex. This made him the most embarrassed that he turned
most of it out. When it was finally over they left and went to the kitchen
only to find it locked. They knocked on it only to have Mrs. Weasley voice
call out.

"What do you want"
"I would like to come into the kitchen I am kind of hungry." Harry said
through the door.

"Ok one second." said Mrs. Weasley. The next second some food appeared
outside the door. "There you go. Just go up stairs were doing important
Order business in here." she told them. He just left after hearing the word
order knowing as long as Mrs. Weasley was around he wouldn't get anywhere
near a meeting. He trudged up the stairs into his room where he found his
trio of best friends waiting for him with identical smirks on their faces.
They looked like they were going to explode with laughter when they saw
Harry's face. Harry just rolled his eyes.

"Ok go ahead and get it over with, because this will be your only chance."
he told them while he started to twirl his wand in his fingers. They looked
at each other not knowing what to expect. "No takers" he asked. Then the
door burst open.

"Oh we will take." said Fred coming through the door and George following
him grinning.
"So Harry what part of the talk was your favorite" asked George
"Was it when he talked about proper conduct or." asked Fred
"When he told you of the precautions." but that was enough out of both of
them when Harry said "Sactatious" and both of their noses started to
get longer, but they didn't notice the other effect it had. Harry started
laughing at them along with the others.

"Harry what did you do to us." George asked with a squeaky voice.
"Oh I just tried a engorgement plus shrinking charm on you guys, but
designated them for certain parts." he winked at them over this part. The
twins both looked at him confused.

"I don't notice any shrinking." George said chuckling
"So I think it didn't work." Fred finished. Harry laughed at them both.
"Really" they both nodded. "Well the reason you think it didn't work cause
what I shrunk is something you don't umm show in public." Harry told them
looking down for a second. Their eyes widened in horror.
"No you didn't" asked Fred. Harry didn't answer
"Did you" inquired George. Harry just shrugged.
"Go look for your self.' he told them. They both ran out the door to separate
rooms. Harry started counting down from five on his fingers. Right when he
put down the last finger, they all heard identical shouts of "POTTER" and
he just started laughing uncontrollably.

"What did you do to them Harry" Ron asked him. He signaled for Ron to come
closer. He then whispered it in his ear right when the twins came through
the door. Both red with anger or embarrassment it was a close call.

"You change them back." they told him together. He shook his head.
"I just hope you don't have anything planed for tonight, well matter a fact
for the next week. Cause that's how long the shrinking charm lasts." he told
them both chuckling. "the noses you can change back now if you don't like
them." still shaking they pointed their wands at their noses and changed
them back. "If you try to fix the other thing" he heard Ron snort. "Then
the charm will last twice as long."

"MUM" they both shouted and ran out the room. Both Ron and Harry broke down
completing. The girls looked at each other confused.

"Um mind filling us in" asked Ginny. He walked over to them and went between
them and told them. Both there eyes widened in surprise that showed that
they were clearly not expecting what he said. Then they started laughing.
After a while they calmed down and Ron spoke up.
" So Harry did you like the talk you had" he asked him thinking Harry had
gotten over it. Harry raised his eyebrows and pointed his wand at him. Ron
backed away.
"Please don't I was just joking with you." he told him. Harry slowly
lowered his wand, grinning.

At around eight they heard the door to the front of the house open and slam
shut several times that they thought that their was a meeting going on till
they Heard Mrs. Weasley yell for them for dinner. When they reached the door
and opened it to find it all dark.

"Wands out." Harry ordered them. He pulled his out and extended it forward
and said "Lumos." the room lit up then there was a shout of "HAPPY
BIRTHDAY" He looked and saw the room filled with a lot of people he knew
including some of his teachers and friends from Hogwarts. Then he saw her
standing near the table with presents. She was standing looking radiant. He
didn't realize anyone else except her. He started walking towards her but
was cut off by Remus embracing him in a tight hug.

"Happy Birthday Harry. I know it is a couple days late, but I hope you enjoy
it. As you should." he told him patting him on the back. He looked back and
saw that she was gone.

"Damn it." he thought. He started searching all over the party while being
wished well by everyone their. He finally got taken to his presents by Mrs.
Weasley, he was forced to stop looking. He sat down and started opening all
of his presents. He got several stuff that was useful including a lot of
defense books from a lot of people and a pensive from Dumbledore and Remus. He
got to his final gift that was laying under all of the joke products that he
had received from Fred and George. It was just a note. He opened the note and read it.

Sorry Harry that I couldn't stay longer but I was needed at home my mom is
ill right now, but I will see you back at Hogwarts.
Bye,
Parvati

He smiled at it. She still liked him, but he felt sad that her mom was sick. He had been thinking badly about her when it had been her mom was sick he felt ashamed of himself.
He slid his note into his ropes. He returned to the party that only last a
few more hours. The party got a little out of hand when Tonks shifted her
form to resemble Fred Weasley and announced to everyone that he had a small
'member' and it was all Harry's doing.
"Hey you guys would of done the same thing." he told them all, but was
smacked in the head twice by two angry girls. He turned around and saw that
it was Alica Spinnet and Katie Bell.
"How dare you do that to are boyfriends." shrieked Alica.
"Turn them back to normal or we will hurt you." Katie told him. He laughed
at them.

"Like I told them. I cant it will turn back in a week." he chuckled at
them. Everyone started laughing and Tonks turned back into her self. He
shrugged and took a drink of his butterbeer. He took off his glasses
involuntarily to wipe the sweat from his eyes and he expected all of his guests to cringe at his scars, but none came. He felt around his eyes and found that they weren't their. He started to
panicked and went to find Remus.

"Remus their something wrong my scars are gone." He told him.
"Isn't that a good thing Harry" Remus asked him jokingly.
"They were their before I took off my glasses." he told him, but at that
point Tonks came over.

"What is this I just heard you say Harry you changed your apperance." he
nodded. "Ok stop thinking about what you changed and it will turn back."
"Umm it might not look to good." he told her but she just brushed it off. He
stopped thinking about his scars. He felt them appear again.

"Well that's interesting Harry it looks like you have the same ability as
me." she told him. "Well I guess I will start helping you to develop it with
you." she started looking excited. "This is going to be great. I haven't got
to help any one like me before. We are going to have so much fun." she said
while walking off still sputtering things out. He shook his head laughing. He
started to think of the cool things that he could with this new found
ability. The party slowly started to die down and he finally got up to his
room with all of his new things with the help of his friends. His friends
and him stayed up for a couple more hours messing around with the new joke
products he got and playing all sorts of games till one by one they started
to drop like a flies. Harry was the last one awake when Ron finally dropped.
He slid into his bed and fell into a deep sleep thinking about Parvati.
"Only fifteen days." he muttered "Only fifteen days."
