A/N. Thanks again to all those who reviewed. I am eternally grateful. Sorry
this took so long, a distracted week.*I HATE PHYSICAL FITNESS!*. Umm, the
last chapter didn't turn out as bad as I thought it would, I so happy! One
of my reviewers, JJ, gave me a nice review (thanks!), saying that the
Dursleys wouldn't abuse Harry, well, I think that they would, and I also
think that the night the first chapter, uncle Vernon was in a almost blind
rage. I'll include more of what happened in a later chapter. For other
matters, yes, I think I will do something to Fudge.*grins demonically*. I
have the basic idea I want for this chapter, but I think it might turn out
weird on paper. I'll try. In your reviews, please give me your critique; I
would like to improve myself. And as for the pairings, thanks for everyone
who gave me some, I think that I have everyone I want now. I
want to make the summer last for a while, so bear with me, okay? All right.
I was thinking of an 'explanation from Dumbledore' chapter, but I figured
I'd put that off 'till later.JerseyGirl03, no, I don't really like slash
either.*no offence! * Thanks to ALL my reviewers, this chapter is for you!
Oh and don't mind the length of this chapter, to make it longer I would
have had to put something in which I want to put in the next chapter, and
if I put it here, it will screw it up.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything that is anyone else's.YAY!!!
Mela En Coiasira Chapter Three Birthday
Dear Dumbledore, I am owling to tell you that something happened this morning. I woke up at midnight, and had a weird feeling, so I went into Harry's room. There was an extremely bright white light in there, which only lasted for a minute or so. After that there was that feeling of magic lingering in the air. I went over to wake up Harry, so I could see if he was all right, and he knew and remembered me, he said he was 'really tired'. I thought I should lat you know, Thanks, Snuffles.
Sirius finished the letter with a sense of anticipation. Harry had been better this morning, then when he had remembered them the first time. Sirius felt he couldn't fall asleep, so he went downstairs, with the objective of watching some TV. He went up to the TV and changed the channels, he settled on an infomercial about soap. He was asleep on the couch within minutes.
Remus woke up at seven. He went to cook some breakfast, but he found Sirius fast asleep on the couch, watching some early morning talk show. Grinning, he walked over to him and roughly shook him. No response whatsoever. He tried to get him awake by making loud noises, nothing happened. He was about to let him sleep in, when a small sound was heard behind him. He turned around to see Harry, with a huge smile plastered on his face.
"Good morning Professor, er, I mean Remus. Here, let me try to wake him up." And he walked off out of the room, looking for the kitchen. When he got there he filled up a bowl with ice water and went back into the living room. Remus was still dumbfounded (A/N.I love that word.) at Harry's behavior. Harry walked over to Sirius, careful not to spill the water, and dumped it on Sirius' head.
Sirius immediately jumped up, pale blue eyes still groggy from sleeping. He quickly picked up on the fact that everyone in the room (except him) were laughing. He saw a bowl in front of Harry and walked up to him. He picked Harry up off the floor and stared very seriously at him. "You did this? Well, Griff, you should never try and prank a Marauder, especially not me." By now Harry and Remus were in hysterics, laughing their heads off. "But-Sirius-I-I just woke you up, that's all." Harry managed to get out. Sirius put him onto the couch and started tickling him. "Say sorry Sirius, king of the universe!" Sirius said, while Harry was yelling at him. Harry was about to say it, when he wasn't there anymore, in fact, now he was right behind Sirius. He had no idea of what had happened. He just decided to poke Sirius on the back. Sirius turned around and stood staring, aghast at Harry. "How did you do that?" "Do what?" Harry asked. "You disappeared!" Remus said, staring at Harry too. "Oh, did I? Sorry?" Harry said uncertainly. Remus and Sirius still looked puzzled, but put it aside. They were going to talk with Dumbledore tomorrow anyway, so they would bring it up with him then.
"Hey Griff-" Sirius started, but Remus cut in. "Why do you call him 'Griff'? Don't you think that you could come up with a better nickname? You made ours." Harry now spoke, "You made the nicknames? Wow! I thought Remus would have made them." "Yeah I made the nickname. And," Sirius started, with a false hurt expression on his face and said "Why? Oh, come on Harry, you don't think I'm clever do you. Well, you'll learn" with a impish grin. "Well, why did you pick that name for Harry? 'Griff' is quite an odd name you know." Remus said. "I don't know. It came to me, and it seems to fit him, right Harry?" Sirius asked. "Um, yeah. At least I think it does." It seemed that just then a lightning bolt hit Sirius. "Hey Griff, today's your birthday! Maybe later we could do something. You don't mind, do you?" Harry, who had never had anyone to really spend his birthday with, thought this would be great "Mind?! This will be the best birthday I have ever had! Spending my birthday with the Marauders!" Remus and Sirius lit up. "Well Harry, if you're up to it, we could go out back and play some Quidditch." Harry was ecstatic.
Everyone changed and went outside and Remus went over to a shed and pulled out two Nimbus Two Thousands and one Firebolt. Sirius and Harry called out at the same time "Hey! When did you get his (my) stuff?" Harry didn't care, as long as he had his Firebolt. He went over with Sirius and thanked Remus and took off. It felt so good to fly again, though he was careful to not fly too high incase a muggle saw him. Harry looked down and saw Sirius arguing with Remus about something. He moved a little closer so he could hear their conversation. "Moony, why did you get his things without me?!" Sirius asked angrily. "I had thought that answer was simple" Remus answered calmly, his eyes full of entertainment. "I knew that if you went with me, you would have killed the Dursleys, and since you already have a charge with murder, I thought it best not to add to that. Not that I didn't give them a few hexes." Sirius' eyes lit up. "You, Moony, the 'all knowing, forever patient' Moony, hexed the Dursleys?" Harry was heaving with laughter on his broom now. "Of course I did. Now lets just drop the subject and play Quidditch. I have a set around here somewhere." he trailed off, looking in the shed for something. He brought out an old looking wooden box. "Here it is. How are we going to play with three people Sirius?" Sirius answered. "Well, we could set up goalposts and have a team of two against one. We could have me and Moony try and score goals at ten points apiece, and Harry can go after the Snitch. Harry has to catch the Snitch before we get more then one hundred and fifty points, otherwise we will win. Got that?" everyone nodded. "Good. Lets go." And everyone took off into the air.
Remus released the Snitch and took out the Quaffle. Sirius and him started passing to each other, while Harry scanned the sky for any sign of the Snitch. Then he heard a small flutter of wings and turned around to see the snitch flying a good hundred feet below him. He didn't stop to think about how he heard it; he just took off in a dive. He was going really fast, judging by the gasps he heard, which obviously came from Remus and Sirius. He was just feet from the ground when it changed direction and started flying upwards. Harry, not missing a beat, took off right after it. He flew straight up, outstretched his hand and felt the tiny ball in between his fingers. "WOW! Great catch Harry! We only got twenty points!" Remus called from the other side of the yard. Harry was about to touch ground when he was tackled from behind by Sirius. "Ah! Sirius, what are you doing!" Harry asked while laughing. Sirius didn't answer, he just started to float down to the ground with Harry and put the Snitch back in box. "That was really great Harry! I have NEVER seen a Seeker catch the Snitch that fast before! It's really good to be able to play again, haven't been able too in a while. But it's a nice day" and it was. It was really sunny and warm. "Hey, Harry, wanna have a party today? I mean, it is your birthday after all." Remus had now joined them, "Yeah. We could call the Weasleys over, and Hermione too. I think that they know you're here, just not why." Sirius was now really excited. "Remus, we have stuff for a party, right?" Remus was also really excited. "Yeah, I think so. Well, except a cake." Harry spoke up "I could make a cake while you guys get things ready, you have mix and potions and things, right? I could make individual cakes for everyone." Remus and Sirius nodded and after they put away their brooms they walked back to the house. Remus showed Harry around the kitchen; where everything was, how everything worked. Then Sirius and Remus went off in the house to do something else.
Harry was mixing cake mix with some strange thing that, when you stopped stirring to add an ingredient, would keep stirring on its own. Harry had never experienced these magical inventions, and thought they were wonderful. Just as Harry was about to pour the batter into the many pans for the oven, he had an idea. Since it was his birthday, why not have a little fun with everyone. He quietly went upstairs, thankful that Sirius and Remus didn't notice him. He went into his room and looked for a moment until he found it. His trunk. Luckily it was unlocked, so he opened it and rummaged through it looking for his potions book. Once he had it, he ran back downstairs and opened it, looking for the perfect tricks for everyone. Once he found one that suited someone, he would quickly add the ingredients to their cake and put that cake into the magical oven, which make cooking the cakes take only minutes. He then would take the cake out and frost it, putting the person they were meant for's initials onto the top. He did the same thing until he had everyone's cake ready. He looked down and admired his work for a minute and left to go and sit in his room until Sirius or Remus called him.
_____(While Harry was making the cakes.)_____
Sirius and Remus went into Sirius' room and started wrapping Harry's gifts, which they both insisted on buying because they were so confident that he was getting better. That, or the more likely one, they really wanted him to get better. While they were wrapping, Remus asked about Harry's out-of-the- blue recovery. "Hey Sirius, how is it possible that Harry is fine now? I mean, I'm really glad and all, but he was practically in a coma." Sirius looked up and realized that Remus didn't know about what he had witnessed earlier that day. After he explained it, Remus was in shock. "What do you mean 'magic was in the air'?" Remus asked after he recovered. "I mean that you could feel magic. It was weird. There was like a dim light, just enough to see in, that was fading away." Sirius explained. "Was there anyone else in the room? Maybe in a corner or something." Remus questioned. "No. I would've seen them. It was dim in the room, yeah, but not where I wouldn't notice someone bring there." Sirius stated. "I wrote to Dumbledore. He'll know what happened. He's meeting us tomorrow, remember?" Sirius said. "Of course I do!" Remus said, as though it was an insult. They continued wrapping in silence, lost in their own thoughts.
Once finished, they brought everything downstairs and put up party decorations with flicks of their wands. After that, Sirius went to get Harry. When he went to his room, he saw Harry finishing up some homework. Hey Griff. We Moony is summoning everyone, so we should go downstairs." He stopped talking and took a look at what Harry was doing. "Umm, Harry? Why are you reading 'advanced transfiguration'?" Harry looked up from his book. "Hmm? Oh, this! Well, I finished my homework and thought I would just read a little. This is actually really interesting!" Sirius stared at him for a minute and then motioned for him to follow him downstairs. Harry put a piece of paper in his book to save his place and followed him.
They walked downstairs and immediately Harry was enveloped in a gut- wrenching hug from Mrs. Weasley. "Oh Harry! How are you dear! Happy Birthday! I do hope you are feeling better from last year!". Harry managed to sputter out an "Hello Mrs. Weasley. I'm okay." When he was finally released, he saw that Ron and Hermione were looking at him cautiously, but happily none the less. "Hey mate, how are you? Like I said, its madness in our house!" Ron said "Hey Ron, Hermione! I've missed you guys so much!" "Harry, we've missed you too!" Harry took a look around. Sirius and Remus were grinning like mad, Mrs. Weasley was saying something to Ginny, Ron and Hermione were sitting on the couch, gesturing for him too follow, the twins were in a corner, looking at something, which couldn't be good, and Mr. Weasley was looking at the TV as if it were pure gold. Harry sat on the couch and started talking about Quidditch, even Hermione talked about it with them. After a half an hour, everyone got up to have something to eat. They all sat at the magically expanded table and started eating. Harry was looking around at everyone. It seemed that his cakes were taking effect.
