The Unexpected Present
After a very uncomfortable journey on the infamous Night Bus the three friends arrived at The Burrow. They were greeted by sleeping chickens and a bucket filled with some sort of liquid, which Harry was afraid to touch. Ron then knocked on the door and Mrs Weasley opened it excitedly. "Harry! Welcome back, I'm so glad your ok I was ever so worried." Mrs Weasley said to Harry. Almost at once she pulled Harry inside, shunting both Ron and Hermione aside.
Hermione and Ron walked inside and Hermione rushed upstairs to bed. Hermione was sleeping in a rather odd room, because Mr Weasley had added an extra bedroom onto the already weird house. She sat down on her bed and started to cry silently. Ginny who was in the room just down the hall had heard Hermione come up to bed; she got up and decided to visit her. "Hermione are you OK? I heard you come upstairs I was just wondering why you didn't stay downstairs with the others." Ginny said through the open crack in the door. "If you want to be left alone that's ok," she carried on. There was no answer. Ginny decided to go back to bed. Meanwhile downstairs Harry and Ron were chatting about Quidditch. Harry missed Quidditch; it was at least a whole year since he had played it. "I hope I'll be in the new team, I mean I am quite a good goalkeeper and an alright beater, but I don't suppose Fred or George would want to give up their places on the team." Ron said. "Yeah I hope you'll be on the team too, maybe even Hermione could be a Chaser seen as they've all left." Harry explained. "Hermione, be a chaser, are you mad? She doesn't know squat about Quidditch apart from the fact that there are brooms and balls involved." Ron laughed. "I'm sure she knows more than that Ron" Mrs Weasley but in. "And I think you two should get some sleep, big day tomorrow, hey Ron," Mrs Weasley winked. " Yeah Harry big day!" Ron said finally catching on. And they slowly walked upstairs to Ron's room with his heavy trunk in tow.
At about 12:30 pm Harry had finally woken up to find that Ron's bedroom had been covered in what looked like balloons.
But these weren't ordinary balloons they were floating in mid air and some of them shooting stars and zooming around the room. "Happy Birthday" Ron said. Harry had totally forgotten it was his 15th birthday today. He was so surprised and filled with emotion. "Wow thanks Ron, I've never had a party in all my life." Harry said. He jumped out of bed, and ran downstairs to find Hermione and Ginny giggling at the bottom. "Oi, Oi look what we have here the birthday boy, and what's this? He's wearing his birthday suit!" Ginny shouted. The two girls were laughing so hard their ribs started to hurt. Harry ran back upstairs to find that he was only wearing his boxers. "Crap" Harry said. "Well I was gonna tell you but I just thought it would be funny" Ron said still laughing. Harry then pulled on some jeans and a shirt and this time walked downstairs.
" Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Harry, happy birthday to you." Which was what Harry was greeted with when he walked into the kitchen. "Sit down Harry, please and here is your lovely birthday breakfast. Oh and I've got something her for you." Mrs Weasley said. Harry opened the present from Mrs Weasley and it contained a box full of old photos and school papers and badges and all sorts. These were from his Mother and Father. "Thankyou Mrs Weasley, I, I, I don't know what to say." Harry gasped. "Don't worry dear and call me Molly" Mrs Weasley offered. Harry started to eat his lovely breakfast of bacon, scrambled eggs, sausages, tomatoes, beans and fried bread. "Hey don't forget mine!" Ron said giving Harry his present. It was a new quill, which consisted of unicorn hair and a phoenix feather. "It's lovely, thanks Ron" " Oh Harry here's yours" Hermione reached over and gave him her present. Harry opened it and was guessing it was a book. But no, it wasn't a book but a little box. Harry opened the small box and it was a gorgeous golden chain. It sat there all neat in rich purple velvet. It just looked too good to touch, let alone wear. " Well put it on then," Hermione said. She then took the chain and put it round Harry's neck. Harry's neck tingled with pleasure, which was weird, very weird.
