Ch-3 Harry at the burrow
"Hi,Harry!!! Happy birthday!!!",shouted three redheads altogether .It was Ron,Fred and George .
"Hi Ron,Hi Fred and Hi George! "Harry said back. As he took a look at George and Fred he noticed their eyes were glinting mischieviously, he knew in his bones that something was to happen soon .
"But someone was missing ,who was it?Yes where's Ginny? ",he thought to himself."Maybe hiding from him as usua......"
He was pulled out of his thoughts when Mrs.Weasley said ,"Now children take Harry inside , I have to see what's happening in the kitchen ,I hope Ginny has finished what I had told her to do ."
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When Harry entered the burrow his eyes popped out of his head .The whole burrow was decorated with tinsels, fairies and not to mention huge banners which said,"Best birthday wishes to the Gryffindor seeker!!"
But as he took five steps inside the living room, a loud blast and confetti was thrown all over the place.He was sort of drenched in confetti within a few seconds.
As he was shaking out the confetti from his hair he saw Ginny helping Mrs.Weasley , set up the table for lunch , which looked really inviting.
Fred suddenly with a flash of that same mischievious glint suddenly announced acting as if he had an invisible mike ,"Mike testing ,hello,hello.........., ok, Now for the actual announcement : Dearest Harry ,We, the Weasleys formally invite you to the birthday part of a certain messy haired boy who is celebrating his fifteeenth birthday."
Fred took over from there,"The celebration starts from this moment till the clock strikes 12!!!!!, I hand over the mike to Ron."
Ron continued,"Thank you Twins, Harry since you are our guest of honour you should inaugrate this party by receiving a Weasley tradition memento .So ,Dad are you ready to do it."
Mr. Weasley was smiling broadly stated,"Yes son , You know Harry that I have always considered you as one of this family so I'll tell you of this tradition.On all our birthdays, the girl of our family gives a special gift to the guest of honour which obviously is the person celebrating the birthday.This is not a gift exactly but a tradition so I ask Ginny to come forward and do the honours."
Ginny came forward carrying a cake , she was really blushing red from all this attention,she just said two words ,"Sorry Harry ...." and dumped the cake she was carrying on his face. All the Weasley were applauding .But Fred and George were both whistling and clapping wildly .
Fred remarked winking to Harry who was wiping his face clean,"Harry I was really worried she wouldn't do it because she does have a soft sport for you . If it was us , she'll use this chance to get back on us for all the teasing we do to her ."
George added, "She even gave you a towel to wipe but if it was us she'll make sure we go around make loads of fun at our crazy state of attire.You are really lucky chap,I envy you!"
Ron asked him,"How is our yearly birthday tradition?"Harry answered grinning,"It was COOL!!!!"
"Harry dear ,go upstairs and change, I don't want my child walking in clothes smelling of cake",Mrs. Weasley emphasized.
As he went along with Ron to change he saw Ginny was looking really embarassed .He guessed she was really sad that she had to do something like this to a person who she never ever wanted to offend. He noticed it and vowed later that he'll make sure to tell her he didn't feel offended for her doing the dumping ,after all it was a Weasley tradition and he enjoyed to be a part of this cheerful family.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As Harry changed into another top, Ron started talking to him about the upcoming party and stuff about Quidditch especially the Chudley Cannons who did brillantly that season .Harry didn't forget to thank Ron over and over again for the ' broom holder'.They were so involved on their talking that Harry didn't notice a note for him under his pillow nor the packet beside it .
Suddenly Fred and George barged into the room carrying a packet. "Harry, Mom told me to deliver this to you ,you are supposed to wear this for the party tonight ."Harry took it and saw it was a real nice looking suit .
Fred added grining,"She also told Harry dear to come down for lunch if he finished changing and not to mention chatting.With this, Messr.s Weasleys make their exit !" Laughing loudly the twins left.
Ron suddenly recollected something and said,"Oh ,I forgot to tell you that Mom and Dad have invited some mysterious guests for the birthday party.We all are supposed to be dressed formally and enjoy ourselves tonight .Can you believe a party dressed as muggles?It'll be real fun, Ah!! I wish Herm...."Ron said stopping himself.
Harry knew what Ron was thinking ,it was surely about Hermoine.He wished he could do something but for the present they had to go down to lunch.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Lunch could be described in just a word it was ,"sumptuous." It consisted not only of the food but also Fred and George's jokes, Mr and Mrs.Wesley's parental behaviour towards him ,Ron's continuous chatting and not to mention Ginny's change in attitude . She joined in the chatting without any sign of blushing and embarrasment. She was sort of more confident but she certainly went red at the comment that Mrs.Weasley soon made.
It was, "Harry ,how were the dishes? Did you like it ,because I had a doubt that if G....?Harry soon answered not giving a chance for Mrs.Weasley to finish , "It was the best lunch I ever had , I really wish I could marry you Mrs. Weasley thinking of such daily luncheons except for the fact you are already taken , frankly Mr. Weasley you are really lucky to get such a good wife! . "
Mrs.Weasley laughed along with Mr.Weasley hearing the statement and said , "But Harry dear, I didn't make it, Ginny prepared this for you."
Now it was his turn to go scarlet and when he looked at Ginny he felt there was not another inch of her left to go red .She had totally turned into the colour of a beetroot!
Fred and George had taken advantage of the joke to slip a canary cream into Ron's plate. Harry broke out into a loud laugher at the person who was sitting beside. It wasn't Ron but a red coloured canary which soon started chasing George and Fred around the table.Altogether the lunch was a ' BIG ' success!!!
After the lunch was over Harry wanted to help Mrs.Weasley clean up.But she shooed him away saying that she has never heard of the birthday boy cleaning dishes !!!
Ron and Harry were going up to Ron's room to start a game of chess but Mrs.Weasley wanted Ron and the Twins to make the garden look perfect for the party .So Ron had to go leaving Harry behind. Mrs.Weasley wouldn't hear of Harry helping them so he didn't have a choice but to go back to Ron's room and unpack his trunk.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
He closed the room and started to unpack arranging everything as neatly as possible .He watched the boys cleaning, grass- cutting and so on .
After some time he got tired and went to the bed to have a small nap . He removed his glasses and put it on the small bedside
table .But as his head touched the pillow he felt something hard underneath.He got up and lifted his pillow ,it was a small gift with a note attached . He read the note first . It said the following :
Dear Harry ,
"May the good Lord
Bless you and
grant your wishes
on this beautiful day!
May every day you live
bring joy and happiness
to people around you
as you always have!!!"
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
from
Ginny
Next he opened the gift and found that it was a small scrap book with lots of his sketches like him riding the firebolt ,etc . It was all very artistically done .He couldn't believe this, that Ginny herself had done it for him. Suddenly he noticed the pendent turning green then red then back to normal.Unfortunately,he didn't know what all this meant !
He sat there looking through the book , he had never known that Ginny could draw beautifully. Now thinking did he really know Ginny as a person?Suddenly ,he was brought to earth by the noice on the stairs . Someone was coming to the room .He hurriedly put the book and note in his trunk and turned around .
It was Ron not anyone else.
"So what's up ,Harry are you getting ready the party .It begins within an hour ?"
"Not exactly , umm.... what were you doing all day long ? Couldn't you come earlier?" Harry replied .
Ron put on big lashes and joked,"What ,Harry were you waiting specially for ME?"
"Oh , shutup !!Aren't you also suppose to get ready like a muggle?So where's your suit?", Harry asked Ron.
Ron answered brightly,"My suit is in the cupboard ,it looks good.Mum transfigured Bill's old cloak to that piece.By the way , Fred and George are coming up to give you their present.So be ready to have some fun."
Harry knew that this certainly meant ' DANGER ' and red lights were blinking in his mind .The twins rushed into the room brought out a big gift .Harry gulped at the size of the gift. He looked at Ron while Ron smiled encouragingly.The twins winked their eyes at him and said,"Oh!! don't worry it won't explode or something. Open and try your luck !!"
Harry carefully opened the gift and saw a wide range of different items from the 'Weasley's Wizard Whezees.' Harry was naturally surprised and thought of the large amount of tricks he could do specially to the Slytherins.The twins started explaining the uses of each item and finally left Harry feeling really wicked!
Ron was amazed that the twins for once didn't give something that blasts ,while you open it !!!
After this Ron decided that it was time for them to have baths and get dressed for the party .So ,Ron left to take his bath .
While , Harry took the twins' gift, carefully packed it and placed it in the trunk . He took his soap and towel and waited for Ron to come back .He couldn't help but think how nicely everything was going .He looked at the pendent it was turning silver and then back to normal gold.He soon forgot about the colour changing because all he could think was of the 'mysterious guests' coming for tonight's party.
Harry knew his resolution of keeping others away was not at all working , infact it was like he was actually being a part of the Weasley family by interacting more and more.He thought it 'll be better if he start tomorrow after a day of excitement and joy .......
But Harry forgets that ,'Tomorrow NEVER Comes !!!!'

[Wytil -This fic is supposed to be a sort of a belated birthday present for my friend who loves H/G fics .I had actually written five chps. at one go to apologise for forgetting her birthday. She said she'll forgive and forget if I publish the fic the same day which I did in another site {SIYE} , so I didn't get much of a chance to really sit back and check the spellings and punctuations . I regret that but all I cared that time was to make her happy .I had published this chp earlier for her but after she finished reading I deleted it . Now I am slowly updating again .Another fact is, by mistake my small cousins did something to my computer and deleted a file .As a result ,the whole Microsoft office premium is not working and I have to reinstall it again .So till that time please forgive my spellings and bear with me !
