Chapter 9. Birthday
Harry was standing at Kings Cross Train Station waiting for the train to arrive. He couldn't help but smile when he thought about his 14th birthday...
(Flashback)
It was late morning, around 10:00. Lucius and Severus had kicked Harry, Draco, and Blaize out of the house and said that none of them were allowed to enter the house until one of them said so. Harry sat on the back porch watching as Draco and Blaize played a game of one-on-one soccer. Harry found it funny that even though Draco was the better player out of the two, Blaize was kicking the blonds ass.
He chuckled and stood up. As he was walking towards the plants, he heard a shouted "Lookout!" He quickly dodged the soccer ball that barely missed his head and glared at the two boys who were looking sheepish. He bent down and gathered the soccer ball in his arms.
He smirked as an idea came into his head. He continued walking towards the garden and he heard a slight "HEY" from Draco. When he got to the garden, he set the ball down and looked back at the two boys. They got his unspoken request and moved out of the way.
Harry started by moving the soccer ball between his feet, then he used the toes of his right foot and picked the ball up. The ball traveled from his foot to his chest to a shoulder into his head and back to the ground where he started running towards the goal. Draco and Blaize joined in, trying to get the ball away from the raven-haired boy.
But it was no use. Harry was too fast for the other two. At one point, Draco managed to barely get the ball but just as he was aiming towards the goal Harry popped out of nowhere and stole the ball back.
In a matter of moments the raven-haired boy had made his way to the goal and shot it passed Blaize's head.
The two boys just stared at the Raven for a moment before they heard clapping. When they looked, they saw Draco's father standing on the back porch watching them. He smiled at the three boys and motioned for them to come inside.
When the three boys walked in they were bombarded with smells and decorations, Draco turned to his father and asked, "What is all this?"
Lucius just chuckled and gazed at the small raven-haired boy who unbeknownst to anybody, was trying to leave the room. Draco turned and also looked at the raven-haired teen.
Lucius asked Blaize and Draco if Harry had informed them what today was. The two boys shook their heads no.
"Well boys, today is Harry's 14th birthday, and we thought that we could have an early lunch before opening Harry's presents."
Blaize looked at Harry and signed, "Why didn't you tell us today was your birthday?"
Harry just blushed and looked away from the people in the room. He took a deep breath before signing, "I've never had a true birthday. My birthdays were always me doing chores. My relatives never really cared for me. So my birthday was never in knowledge." Harry explained in a rush. after Harry's explanation the three boys and the two adults sat down and ate a delicious meal that was cooked by Severus.
After lunch Severus went back into his bedroom and gathered the few presents that they had bought for their little beauty.
Lucius and Severus had surprised Herry with three new books, a pair of cleats and shin pads, a subscription to Soccer Monthly, and three tickets for the tryouts for Harry's favorite soccer team, the Flyers.
This wasn't the first time that Lucius and Severus had seen Harry playing with the soccer ball. If the boy wasn't reading or having other entertainment he could most likely be found outside kicking around the soccer ball.
(End Flashback)
Hary was pulled from his thoughts when Draco and Blaize grabbed his arms and dragged him towards the train.
Draco signed to Harry, "If we want good seats we better get on the train now." The three boys waved goodbye to Lucius and Severus before climbing on the train to look for a compartment.
