Harry Potter sat cross-legged, attentively listening to his dead godfather, parents and Remus Lupin, along with Remus' wife Nymphadora as they blurted out stories. Sirius black would often give away rather embarrassing stories, which would award him a smack on his head. James and Lily were happy telling him various bits and bytes of their lives. Suddenly, the deads noticed something, which Harry did not. They smiled to each other, and finally, Lily said, "Happy Birthday son. I think you should go now. You have a long day ahead."
...
As Harry woke up, Lily Luna Potter jumped on her father and shouted, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!"
Rubbing his ears, he said, "Merlin Lily, you will make me deaf!" Just then, Ginerva 'Ginny' Molly Weasley-Potter came in the room, balancing a cake in air. James Sirius Potter came in behind her, grinning. With his newly acquired spectacles, he looked like a splitting image of his grandfather. James too jumped on the four-poster bed.
Half asleep Albus Severus Potter entered the room. He looked like a younger version of Harry, minus the glasses and scar. He rubbed his eyes. Along with the others, he went and sat down on his fathers' bed. The little family of five sat down and sang a pretty long Happy-Birthday song at midnight. Harry pulled everyone in a hug. Thankfully, Al did not try and break free. After the events of the last year, Albus and Harry had managed to be on a same page.
As soon as the little celebration was over, the three childrnen went back to their rooms. Ginny kissed Harry gently and said, "Amos Diggory was found dead three days ago. They have his funeral the day after tomorrow." Harry smiled and said, "Looks like he is finally happy with Cedric."
...
Harry climbed down the stairs in the morning. He smelled bacon and eggs. Going into the kitchen, he gently kissed his wife, which was followed by groans.
"If you don't like it, don't see it!" Ginny stated, and went back to her cooking. She had taken the day off especially for Harry's birthday. Last three ones had been quiet a disaster.
Harry ruffled James' hair (who hated it when anyone except himself did that), and sat down. As Ginny reached out for and egg, he saw a twinkle in his eldest's eyes. Albus grinned, and Lily snorted into her food. Before Harry could make out what was happening, Ginny broke the egg.
Soon, the whole kitchen was engulfed into laughter, fireworks, and a Happy-Birthday song by all the people ever knew. Harry took out his wand and stopped everything at once.
"JAMES SIRIUS POTTER!" Ginny bellowed, but James was nowhere to be seen. But Ginny knew better. She pulled away the invisibility cloak. James at once started to run, but taking out her wand, she said, "Accio James." At once James was dragged back into the room.
Unable to hold it any longer, Albus broke into fits of laughter, along with his sister and father, as James heard a long lecture, and the only part audible was, "It was Al's and Lil's idea!"
...
Ronald was grinning. Harry was going to love this. Actually, he was going to hate it, but Ron was going to enjoy this. And as he thought, it was precisely what happened.
Harry was dumbstruck. Where once stood his desk, was a pile of letters and presents. Even a few howlers. He looked at Ron and sat down on the floor. Ron eagerly started going through the gifts.
"Even twenty years later? I am soon going to run away!" and Ron continued grinning like an idiot. Harry hit him on the head.
"Ouch! What was that for?"
"For being a jerk! Now help me clear this mess up." The two friends checked all the gifts for curses, and finally, Harry sent a few of the parcels to his house. One of them was a boggart, which first turned into a spider, and then in the dead bodies of their loved ones, and when both the best friends stood in front of it, a dead Ginny with Spider Legs. Ron promised he was going to kill the person who sent it,after laughing like a maniac.
After Harry had done enough, he sat down on a couch, and with Ron opposite to him. They started talking about old times, how Chudely Cannons made it almost to the finals, when Ron suddenly asked, "Do you think Scorpius has taken a liking towards my daughter?"
Harry sat stupefied for a second, and then asked, "What?"
"I don't know. I just have a feeling." Ron said, and began thinking about something.
"You are thinking. That's unusual!" This time it was Harry who got hit on his head. Just then, the door fling open, and Hermione enetered the room.
"Happy Birthday Harry!" she went on to hug her best friend and pulled out a package. Ron went up to her and was about to kiss her when she pulled back. He rolled his eyes and said, "I am not Albus in disguise! i do not want another kid or a holiday!"
Hermione smiled and kissed him. Meanwhile, Harry smiled and opened the package, finding yet another book on spells. "You are coming to tonight's party, aren't you?"
"Yes, wouldn't miss it for the world. But, just in case." Harry nodded. She looked around and said,"It looks clean!"
"I did it!" Ron said, and Harry grinned. The Golden Trio sat on Harry's couch as more Owls swooped in. Soon, Hermione left, muttering something about 'werewolf legislation' and Ron left as he got a call from George to look after the shop.
As Harry was left alone, he couldn't help wondering how good his life was.
...
Teddy Lupin was having one of the worst days ever. It was his godfather's birthday, but because of the stupid Dementor attack in South, he had to rush there. He looked at his father's watch, and wondered if he would be able to make it for the party or not. Because if he didn't, Victorie and Lily were going to kill him!
Maybe a gift for them would cheer them up? Shaking his head, he said to himself, "Almost all your life you have been with them, and this is a plan you come up with?"
Just then, he heard one of the other Aurors shout, "They are this side!" Shaking his head, he went towards the other direction.
