4.- HARRY'S BIRTHDAY
The birthday came really fast. That morning, noone said anything about Harry's 15th year alive. Hedwig wasn't back yet. He felt sad. Not even Mrs.Weasley remembered. While breakfast, everybody was quiet. Suddenly, the head of Seamus Finnigan appeared in the fireplace. -Hi Ron, Harry, Hermione! I was wondering if you all would like to come to my house today. Dean, Neville, Parvati and Lavender are going to be here. Ginny can come too. -Sure- said Ron, looking at Harry and Hermione that nooded-let me ask my mom. -OK honey- just give your father the address, he can take you. After Ron got the address, Seamus' face disappeared. Harry remembered that nobody knew it was his birthday and he felt so angry that even started feeling sick. -I am not going- he said strongly. -What?? Why??- Said Ron and Hermione at the same time. -I'm not feeling very good- he answered. He was so mad. -Oh, I think I know what it is...-said Ron. Harry gave him a look full of hope. - You are still having those nightmares? Harry was about to explode in anger- Yes, that's it- he lied. -Please Harry, come with us- said Hermione-I wouldn't feel good leaving you here. We would miss you. After a while they convinced him to go.
Mr.Weasley took Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny an hour later in the ministry car to Seamus' house. They had an awesome time there; playing quidditch, talking, swimming at the pool... here Ron was practically drooling over Hermione, and surprisingly, the rest of the guys were too. All of them except Harry, who thought Parvati looked really pretty. Harry had been all day very quiet, thinking about how noone remembered his birthday. Noone remembered his birthday before Hogwarts, but now he felt really bad because in all these years they had remembered, and now it was like if they suddenly didn't like Harry that much... When they were playing "truth or dare", Parvati asked him in a worried voice: -Harry, are you Ok? Harry was surprised about Parvati asking him, because since the Yule Ball last year, when he was a "bad dancing partner" with her, she didn't really talk to him anymore. -I am fine- he said, and grinned at her. She smiled back and Harry felt something going on. Parvati stared at Harry and Harry stared at her too. Hermione was looking at them with her face all red. Suddenly, everyone else noticed this and laughed at them for the rest of the day.
When it was time to go, they said goodbye and returned to The Borrow in Mr.Weasley's car. When they got there, Mr.Weasley was opening the door when he said: -Oh!I left my hat in the car... Harry, can you go and get it, please? Here are the keys. Harry went towards the car and brought the hat. When he got back, the door was opened and everything was dark inside. He entered the room, with a scared expression. The lights turned on and everybody shouted: -Surprise!!!! Harry was about to faint. Everyone was there: Mr. and Mrs.Weasley, Percy, Fred, George, Ginny, Hermione, Ron, Seamus, Dean, Neville, Lavender, Parvati, and even Bill and Charlie. -How did you get here so fast?!- Harry asked Seamus and the rest of the guys, with a smile in his face. -Flu powder- answered Dean-. Very effective. -And that's why you were ignoring my birthday! - He said to Hermione and the Weasleys, that strongly nooded at him and laughed. -When did you two get here???- Harry asked Bill and Charlie. -Today-Charlie said-. We needed to get you out of the house so we could plan everything, and Seamus offered his house. Harry had the greatest time of the whole summer. He got loads of presents from everyone ("that's the good part of parties, Harry" said Ron). Harry was dancing with Parvati, Ron was dancing with Lavender, Dean danced with Ginny and Hermione was dancing with Seamus. Suddenly, Hermione told Seamus that she had to go to the bathroom. She grabbed Harry's arm and took him apart. Luckily, noone noticed. -I need to talk to you. Meet me in the kitchen at 4 o'clock. Don't ask any questions. Harry thought that was very weird, so he was a little anxious to see what it was about.
