CHAPTER 3 "HAPPY 15th BIRTHDAY HARRY!", everyone shouted. Harry stood gaping not knowing what to do. Before Sirius had given him his birthday present, Harry had completely forgotten his birthday, in all the night's events. As he looked out the kitchen window, Harry saw the first rays of sunlight and for the first time in weeks, he felt happy. Mrs Weasley came, over gave him a huge hug which he appreciated and a kiss on the cheek.. This made Harry turn very red. Next Hermione came over and gave him a hug too. "I heard about what happened. Are you ok?, she asked. "Yeah I'm fine", Harry answered. "Lets talk about this later on". Fred and George pushed him into the middle of the room and placed a massive cake on Harry's hands. It read in gold lettering, Happy !5th Birthday Harry and underneath the writing was a golden snitch made of icing. "Thank you very much", Harry said amazed. Harry jumped with a start and nearly dropped the cake, when Fred and George let of some Filibusters Fireworks. This prompted Mrs Weasley to scowl at Fred and George, but they looked away. Harry put the cake down and just in time as Ron came and gave him a rather unusual looking present. Harry ripped open the wrapping and inside was a very old book, containing none other than The Best Curses and Hexes To Pull On Your Friends Or Enemies. This prompted Mrs Weasley to scowl even more. After about an hour of celebrating and trying out the curses and hexes, Harry pulled Hermione and Ron upstairs to Ron's room and slammed the door. "Harry exactly what happened last night?", Hermione asked worried. Ron nodded in agreement. So with that Harry started telling the story from when he had the nightmare, stopping occasionally to let Ron and Hermione take in the news. When Harry was finished, Ron looked scared and Hermione very concerned. Harry smiled as he saw their faces and remembered how they always looked like that. "Oh Harry, are you ok?", Hermione asked concerned. Harry could see that Ron was looking very strange indeed, almost like he was jealous, but he thought to himself that he was just seeing things and shook the thought out of his head. "So Dumbledore let you stay with us. Mum and Dad tried to convince him all summer but he said you were safer with the Dursley's. Good thing you left or you would have had to spend the whole summer there", Ron said smiling. Hermione looked very shocked and angry at Ron's statement and told him, "Ron, Harry could have been killed, you don't joke about things like that. Harry promise you will NEVER do anything like that again". Harry looked at her in a very reassuring way and she relaxed. "Look what Sirius gave me for my birthday", Harry said as he showed Ron and Hermione the amulet. "He said it had belonged to my father and that it gave him energy and strength". "I have never seen anything like this before. When we get back to Hogwarts I can look it up", Hermione exclaimed, taking the amulet of him. I'm afraid we do not know", Sirius replied. He was leaning against the door frame. Harry could see that Sirius was looking much better than last year. His face was brighter and he had lees lines around his face. "Erm Sirius?", Harry asked, "Why did I see Voldemort wish me Happy Birthday?" "I'm afraid I not know, it could be a dream controlling spell or just a normal dream. You would have to ask Professor Dumbledore. Now to bed with you all". He held the door open for Hermione to leave and closed the door. "Wow, I wonder what that amulet will do?", Ron asked getting undressed. "I have no idea", Harry replied sleepily. Both boys cuddled up in their beds, Ron in his and Harry on the camping bed. Harry had a good look around Ron's room. Hardly anything had changed, the walls were still bright orange and he still had Chudley Canons posters on the walls that moved. Harry relaxed and let himself fall asleep.
