1 Chapter One
Harry awoke suddenly, he had another dream about the night he witnessed Voldemort's "rebirth". He must have had this dream at least 50 times since he came home from Hogwarts. He looked around his room, Hedwig cage was empty because she was delivering a letter to Sirius, his books, quills, and parchment were scattered across the floor from Harry trying to do his summer homework, the book "Qudditch through the Ages" was lying open on his bed, and his calendar told him his birthday was today and that he only had a couple more weeks till he would be going back to Hogwarts.
He heard a soft tapping on the window, there were four owls at his window, he let them in, there were two brown owls, a small overly excited one who Harry recognized immediately as Pig, Ron's owl, and Hedwig. He relieved all of them of their parcels, gave Hedwig and Pig some food and water, and then began to open up his gifts. Hagrid gave him a stash of candy that contained: Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans, Chocolate Frogs, plus other types that Harry knew Hagrid must have gotten in Hogsmeade. He reached for Sirius parcel next, Harry was surprised to find that Sirius hadn't only written a letter but had also given him a smaller version of the clock that the Weasly's had which told what every person was doing. However this one had Hermione, Ron, Dumbledore, Sirius, and Lupin. They were all currently pointing to home. In his note Sirius told Harry that he had had this specially made for him and that he had wanted to put Voldemort on there but the shopkeeper said that they had to have the person's consent to be able to put them on the clock. Harry wished Voldemort could have been put on there so that he would know where he was at all times, now that Voldemort was stronger Harry kept wondering when Voldemort would try to come and kill him. Harry decided to focus on Ron's present instead, it was a radio. He read Ron's letter:
Dear Harry-Happy Birthday! Hope its not to boring over at the muggles. Fudge isn't doing a very good job so far of keeping people not knowing that you-know-who is becoming stronger. My dad has gotten a lot of other people at the Ministry to realize the truth, no matter what Fudge tells them. However the Daily Prophet and the WWN both have been talking about it. The Radio is connected to the WWN its to help let you know what is going on in the wizarding world. Mum said I could invite you and Hermione over for the last couple weeks of vacation! We will pick you up around 2:00 on Sunday alright? Oh and guess what? George and Fred bought me some new dress robes, how they got the money and when I might need dress robes again I don't know. –Ron
P.S. Fleur sent me a letter thanking me again for helping save her sister!
Harry opened Hermione's parcel last. He had been thinking a lot about their last meeting when they were leaving Platform 9 and 3/4 , when Hermione had done something she had never done before, give Harry a kiss on the cheek. He kept wondering what that kiss meant to her, was it a just a kiss for a friend or was it a kiss for someone who might be more than a friend. Harry was hoping it was just a friendly kiss because he didn't have "those kinds of feelings" for Hermione. She was one of his best friends and her liking him might make their friendship more awkward since he didn't like her that way back. However, he decided to talk to her about it when they got to Ron's house. He looked at the book she gave him: "Qudditch: Learn the pros moves" and the note she had written him: Harry- Happy Birthday, I hope you haven't spent the whole summer worrying about you-know-who. I'm sure Dumbledore is taking what ever precautions he can to defeat you-know-who and keep you safe. I have spent the last couple weeks in Bulgaria with Viktor, he has been extremely sweet! He showed me all around their wizarding village: horizant ally and introduced me to all his friends. He tried to teach me how to fly, it looks a lot easier when you and him do it but found that it is rather quite hard. I must say I would much rather watch quidditch than play it! Anyways I'm sure you know about going to Ron's in a few days, I will see you soon Harry! –Hermione
From the sound of her letter it seemed as if nothing had changed, maybe he was worrying to much about what that kiss meant Harry thought to himself. Light was shining through his window and he heard the Dursleys stirring, so he decided to get up and start breakfast…
