Celebrations
It was 10:00 a.m. and Harry had yet to ask, well tell his uncle about Mr. Weasley coming to take him away for the rest of the summer. Everyone was settled in the kitchen eating breakfast. As soon as Aunt Petunia and Dudley went upstairs to get ready for their usual Saturday drive, Harry decided now was the best time to tell his uncle.
"Uncle Vernon, sir?" he spoke.
"What is it boy?" the beefy man said without looking up from his paper.
"Um.today Mr. Weasley is going to pick me up this afternoon and let me stay with him and his family for the rest of the summer."
"Sure. Whatever it takes to keep you and that squawking ball of fluff at of my house. He had better not be coming in the same way he did two years ago."
They both began to remember how the Weasleys burst through the fireplace. Harry was shaking with silent laughter and Vernon shuddered.
"He'll be coming the normal way." Or at least I hope he will be, thought Harry.
"Good. Finish the dishes, pack, then come straight downstairs and wait for him. We won't leave until the freak comes and takes you with him." Mumble Vernon as he sipped the last of his coffee and leaving the cup on the table for Harry to collect.
The emerald-eyed teenager dismissed the comment about 'the freak'. He was leaving this hellhole for the rest of the summer. He was going to spend it with people he cared for and loved.and Ron. He was the most important reason why he so desperately wanted to go.

It was around 12 in the afternoon; Harry and the rest of his so-called- family sat in the parlor. The three Dursleys sat gathered on a couch as far away from Harry, the door and the fireplace, just in case.
Harry didn't know how Ron's father would arrive.would he Apparate, use Floo Powder or use a Ministry car? Harry didn't know which one he would choose but all he thought about was what he and Ron would be doing tonight. This brought a small smile to his. He also made sure that his luggage, trunk full of the things he would need at Hogwarts and Hedwig's cage with Pig still here.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door; the Dursleys jumped in fear and Harry sighed with relief. He raced to the door, flung it open and was so overcome with emotions that he embraced the elder red head.
Wow, what a great guess I made. Or premonition.whatever that was it was better than what Professor Trelawney could ever conjure up, mused Harry.
"Well, it's nice to see you too. Let's go then." Mr. Weasley knew better than to speak to the Muggles, from what Harry told him.
So, Harry and Mr. Weasley were off on their way to the Burrow in a Ministry car.

Harry rushed to the trunk of the car as soon as it came to a stop. The elder of the Weasley clan came to the rear of the car to help out Harry. Mr. Weasley walked a few steps behind Harry. This boy, whom he always felt was apart of his family, was now making in youngest son the happiest man in the world. He always knew that Ron felt overshadowed by his friends. It got so bad one summer he found his son slitting his wrists. His son hadn't done that sort of thing since then but what kind of parent doesn't worry.
Now he was happier, doing better in school, he was even a little more confident. All because Harry was in his life and he could careless that this person who brings such happiness to his son was a boy.
They were soon in the living room. Something was slightly off about the room. Ginny was nowhere in sight, ogling after him; explosions were not going off inside the twins room, seeing that they were now running there own joke shop at Hogsmeade. What about Hermione? Where was she?
"Where is everyone, sir?" questioned Harry.
"Oh," smiled Mr. Weasley, "the kids should be in the back yard." Before he could finish, Harry had dumped his bags on the floor and was dashing through the kitchen to the back door.
Arthur beamed as Harry threw open the door.
"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARRY!" shouted the Weasley family, Sirius, Remus and the whole Gryffindor House.
Harry stood dumbfounded, glued to the spot. Everyone was here, on his birthday nonetheless. He had never had a surprise birthday party let alone a birthday party. He was in shock. There stood his friends and godfather, smiling up at him. Ron moving towards him.
"Happy Birthday, Harry." Breathed Ron, planting a soft kiss on his lips. This resulted in an 'Aww' from the crowd of on lookers.
"Wow! Thank you everyone!" acknowledged Harry.
The party was soon underway. "Did you do this Ron?"
"With a little help from my parents but yes." Ron leaned his forehead to Harry's and stared deep into his bright eyes.
"Thank you, Ron! You don't know how much I appreciate this."
"I think I have an idea." He wiped a tear from Harry's eye as it began to leave a silvery path in its wake.
"It's just that no one's ever given me a party for my birthday."
"I bet no one has given you so many gifts." Ron pointed to a table full of gifts. "No let's join the celebrating population?"
Harry obliged while letting Ron lead him deep into the crowds by the hand.
