Harry Potter and the Dark Lord's Castle
Gifts and Kidnaps
Once Harry got to Hogwarts he had a meeting with Professor Dumbledore and it was decided that Harry would stay there for the rest of the summer to ensure his protection. It was also decided that Sirius being that he had no home and he didn't want to leave Harry would also stay at Hogwarts for the remainder of summer. Harry couldn't help feeling better no that he was at Hogwarts, he was unpacking his things in the fifth year Gryffindor boy's dormitory when the door opened and in came Sirius.
"Dumbledore said that I should stay in here with you until the rest of the school arrives." Sirius said looking around the room and picking the bed in the opposite corner from Harry.
Being as Sirius didn't have any possessions to unpack, he helped Harry unpack his things from his trunk. Harry was putting up his clock from Hermione when he remembered that he never opened the rest of his presents. He chose the one that looked as though it was from Ron. Harry opened the card and it said
Dear Harry
Happy Birthday, did you hear the bad news, Hermione was made a prefect! Looks as though hear years of making trouble with us has finally come to an end, it was too bad though because I thought that she was just starting to loosen up. Fred and George send their greeting and thanks, although they wouldn't tell me what for. Also did you hear, they got loads of money from somewhere but they wouldn't tell me where from, sounds a bit fishy to me but they bought me some new dress robes so I'm not complaining. Well hope you like my gift; I got it from Fred and George. I'll see you at Diagon Alley or Kings Cross.
-Ron
Harry opened the gift and was looking at a huge box that said across the top Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. He took off the top of the box and saw stacks upon stacks of all types of wizarding tricks. On top was a note, which Harry read
Dear Harry
This box contains all the inventions, tricks and toys that are now a part of our new joke shop Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. As our investor we are giving you a complete set of inventory before we begin to sell anything. Thanks again for the start up money.
-Fred and George
Harry smiled as he looked through stacks of canary cream, ton-tongue toffee, and other inventions that Harry didn't recognize.
Harry then reached for his next present, from the un-tidy scrawl on note it looked as though it was from Hagrid,
Dear Harry,
Happy Birthday, I can't tell you where I am of course but Madam Maxime and I are really making some progress. I wish I could tell you more but I can't, have a ruddy brilliant Birthday. Hope you enjoy my gift, I made it myself, but had professor Flitwick do some intricate charms.
-Hagrid
P.S I hope the muggles are treating you well
Harry opened Hagrid's gift and saw that it was a quidditch field that was carved out of wood. On the field though were seven people that were flying and scoring goals with the quaffle and hitting bludgers around. As Harry looked closer he began to recognize some of the players, one of the teams was the Gryffindor house team from two years ago. Harry recognized himself as he dove sharply to race after the golden snitch, which was almost invisible at this scale. The team that Gryffindor was playing against seemed to be the Hufflepuff house team. Harry's heart ached as he saw Cedric Diggory dive after Harry for the Snitch, the memory of Cedric's death was still fresh in his mind. He forced his eyes to turn away to open his last two presents. It was from Mrs. Figg
Harry grabbed the closer one and took off the card and started reading.
Dear Harry,
Happy Birthday, as I haven't had much time to explain who I am I felt that a letter would best explain it. I am a witch, as you probably have guessed by now, I was a friend of your mums and was named your godmother. When your parents were killed and you were sent to live with the Dursleys I volunteered to live by you and protect you. I am sorry that I could never tell you who I was but I couldn't have you telling the Dursleys who I really was. I also apologize for making you suffer through your poor experiences at my house. I would also like to say that my image doesn't reflect my age, when I volunteered to protect you I began drinking an aging potion so that no one would recognize me, I am really the same age as your parents. When your parents left me with these I knew that they would want you to have them.
-Arabella Figg
Harry opened the gift and was left speechless at the two gifts that rolled out on to his bed. On the bed were two wands, his parent's wands. They looked badly burnt and scorched but he knew he would treasure them always.
The last gift was from Sirius who had left the room when he saw that Harry was about to open his present.
Dear Harry,
Happy Birthday, I hope that you are doing well, if not remember I am staying at Arabella's for the summer. I hope you like that gift, it was originally meant to be for James but I know that it will be useful in the dark times ahead for you.
-Sirius
Harry opened the present and what fell on to his bed he recognized immediately. It was a foe glass. Harry recognized it because Mad-eye Moody had one last year, it was smaller than Moody's, but maybe that was because he didn't have as many enemies as Moody. When Harry hung it up though, a large group of shadowy figures came in to being.
Harry threw the wrapping paper away and started putting the rest of his things away. He decided to go and look for Sirius to thank him for his gift, he put the gifts on his bed and walked outside the room. If he had looked behind him he would have seen a pair of shadowy figures getting more in focus.
Harry couldn't find Sirius in the building so he went out on to the Hogwarts grounds. He was about to go back to the room when he heard a voice behind him that made him stop. He turned around and called out Sirius' name; he was about to call again when he saw two shadowy figures emerge from the forbidden forest. He pulled out his wand but before he could say a word the Death Eaters muttered a curse
"Stupefy" Harry saw the curse coming towards him, and then everything blacked out.
