.Harry smiled and turned back to his bed and saw three owls and a flashy bird on his bed. He recognized his own Hedwig, Vivien (Hermione's new owl), a large tropical bird and a brown one (from Hogwarts)
Harry freed the birds from their parcels and let them take a rest. He sat on his bed and picked up a parcel that Hedwig brought which was from Ron. He tore open the paper and found a letter and a present.
Harry opened the letter and read -
-Dear Harry, I hope you are doing well at the Dursleys. I mean, if they bully you, just threaten them that Sirius would turn them into bats! Anyway, I wish you a very happy birthday. Don't let the Muggles get to you! I used your Hedwig, cause Pig was too small to carry the book.
P.S Can you believe it, I'm made a Prefect!!!
Ron.
Harry laughed and was very happy for Ron to be made a Prefect. He opened the present and saw a book entitled 'How to make Dungbombs and many more'. Harry laughed again and put away the book and opened Hermione's parcel. Out fell also a letter and a present.
-Dear Harry, How are you? I hope the Dursleys aren't still that irritating. I bought your present in Canada. Hope you like it. I'm made a prefect; I think Ron is also one. I'm glad for him, after all, he won't be that much shadowed by his brothers. I would be going to Diagon Alley on the Thursday before term starts, hope to see you there.
Love, Hermione
Harry smiled. He loved Hermione so much, that he discovered last year. It was not just friendship, but love. He picked up the present and took out a bracelet that was silver with a single diamond set in the middle. There was another note
-Harry, This is a communicating bracelet. I have one too. If you want to speak to me, just say 'Talnoma' and to stop, say 'Amamiya'. Hope you like it.
Hermione
Harry put on the bracelet immediately and decided to try it out tommorow.
Harry then picked up the parcel the flashy bird brought. It was long and thin.
Wait, is that what I think it is. Harry thought
He unwrapped the present and out fell.a broomstick. It was a very beautiful one, slender and fine. Harry picked up the note and read.
-Dear Harry, Happy Birthday! This is the newest broomstick called Swiftyflyer, only five in the world. Precious, but I hope you like it!
Sirius
"Wow."
He set the broomstick carefully down and picked up the last parcel, out fell two letters, a card and a parcel. Harry opened the card and read
-Harry Happy Birthday boy! Baked ya a cake myself. Ope ya like it!
Hagrid
Harry peered at the cake. It was blue with pink icing. Well, he would try it one day. He opened one of the letters, which bore a Hogwarts crest. It read,
Dear Mr Potter, I am pleased to inform you that you have been made a prefect. Term would start on September 1st and a prefect meeting would be held after the banquet on the first day. Due to your condition with your relatives, the underage magic law would be lifted on Sunday 30th of August at 12 noon and the fireplace would be connected to the floo network. Enclosed is a pinch of Floo powder, please floo yourself to 'Hogwarts Headmaster's Office'. Professor Dumbledore would meet you.
Professor Macgonagall
Surprised at meeting Dumbledore, he set the letter and picked up the other. It was a red envelope with a golden phoenix seal on it.
-Dear Mr Potter, You have been accepted into the Order of the Phoenix, Head being Albus Dumbledore. Please be at his office by 1 on the 30th of August.
Signed, Albus Dumbledore Head of the Order of the Phoenix
Question popped up in Harry's mind. Order of the Phoenix? Is that why I must go to the office? Harry turned and looked at the clock. It showed 12 midnight. Harry lay on his bed and fell asleep.
When he told his Uncle Vernon the next day that he had to leave on the August 30th by magic, he was simply furious. However, he gave in as if he did not allow him to leave, Harry would be stuck the whole year to him.
Finally, August 30th arrived. Harry woke up early and packed his possessions. His robes, school books, the Firebolt, the Swiftflyer, the Marauders Map, the invisibility cloak and his presents.
~Harry, can't you pack with magic~ Faye said
~No, I'm not allowed to, Faye~
By 11:55, Harry had brought everything with him and was waiting by the fireside. Suddenly, he thought of something and pulled out the necklace on his neck. He touched the diamond, which started to emit a glow, and said "Merlin?"
"Yes Harry, I'm here, you don't have to speak out loud you know, you could converse with us mentally"
"Oh" Harry said and sent a message mentally Merlin, you know about the time you mentioned the castle
Yes came the mental reply
Can I live there?
Of course, I must have forgotten to tell you. To get to the castle. well, actually it is King Arthur's castle Camelot, you must hold Faye on your arm and say 'Castle Camelotnado.' You would be teleported to your room in the castle. The door would lead you to many other places of my Camelot, so don't get lost. Faye would show you the way; it's easy to get lost
Thanks
Harry stopped the connection and looked at the clock. It said 12:01.
I could go now I guess
Harry stepped into the fireplace which was not boarded, pulling his trunk and Faye sat on his shoulder. He took the pinch of Floo powder and said 'Hogwarts Headmaster's Office'. With a flash and he was gone.
Harry spinned and spin, holding on to his trunk for support. Gradually, the spinning slowed down and Harry was threw out of the fireplace, his trunk crashing on him, Faye flying off. Harry heard a small laugh and the heavy trunk was lifted. Harry blinked and saw a pair of twinkling blue eyes in front of him.
Albus Dumbledore
Dumbledore pulled Harry to his feet and brushed the front of Harry's T- shirt.
"Well, I see you have arrived 'safely'"
"That was considered lucky"Harry replied.
"I see, Harry, you are here because of a very important issue"
"I know, Voldemort"
"Yes, please wait while the other members of the Order of the Phoenix arrive"
Harry sat down on a chair and looked around.
Tell your headmaster about your powers, he would help you Rowena's voice suddenly said
ok.
"Um.professor?"
"Yes"
"Um.would you care to look at this?" Harry asked uncertainly. Albus Dumbledore looked up. Harry closed his eyes and concentrated on unleashing his powers. The colourful aura formed again, swirling. Albus Dumbledore was shocked as what stood in front of him was not Harry Potter but someone with grey hair and eyes that held much wisdom.
"Well, what is happening?"
"Professor, actually, I'm the heir of, well.Merlin" Harry struggled to finish the sentence. He DID NOT LIKE being special.
"What!!That is very extraordinary.you better explain yourself"
Harry started launching his tale, of his dreams, his encounter with Merlin and the founders and everything. Albus Dumbledore slowly understood this extraordinary encounter.
"I see.I see. my boy, you better change back to your original looks"
Harry calmed himself down and took a deep breath. His hair shrunk back and turned back.
"Well Harry, I see now that you are very important to the order. Have you tested your powers?"
"Um, no. That's because we weren't allowed to use magic outside"
"Ah.why don't you try now? Could you produce a magic shield?"
"I'll try." Harry answered and drew out his hands. He placed them together, then drew them to the side with palms facing outwards. A bright blue-white light formed in between his hands and stretched as he pulled. In an instant, a shield was formed, glowing with light.
"Ah, I've never seen such a strong shield, let me try" Dumbledore said and drew out his wand "Stupefy!" The spell hit the shield and rebounded back straight at Dumbledore. He was hit as he was taken by surprise.
"Professor!" Harry shouted and ran at the headmaster. "Enervate!"
dumbledore stirred and opened his eyes.
"Ah.Harry, you are strong, stronger than me! That is no ordinary shield, that's an ancient shield that has been lost for centuries.That is the 'Merlin's shield'."
"Merlin's shield?"
"Yes, I suggest you do not tell anyone about your powers. Maybe only to Miss Granger and Mr Weasley. I would arrange for extra classes. You must master dueling and you must learn to summon the elements and guardians. It is important to the school, for the Dark Lord has rise again."
"Ok.Professor, um, could you close your eyes?"
"Certainly."
Harry put his finger on one of the quartz and concentrated to link it to Dumbledore. The quartz glowed and a ring appeared on Dumbledore's finger.
"You could telepathic to me now, using the ring. Just say 'Dakai' to telepath. To stop, say 'Guandiao'"
"Interesting" Dumbledore said. Looking at the clock, Dumbledore said, "I suggest you sit down Harry"
Harry sat on the chair and Faye flew to his shoulder. They waited for ten minutes and suddenly, there was a ring at the door. Dumbledore said 'come in' and the door opened. Two people stood at the door and Harry stood up.
End!!!
