Disclaimer: I am making money off this and I do own this!!! MUHAHAHAHA!!! Just kidding!!! I don't think you really believed me though and if you do then you should be trampled by a hippogriff!!!! HONESTLY!!! I DO NOT OWN THIS!!! *Takes deep calming breaths* inhale... exhale... inhale... exhale...
A/N: Nufin much really happens in this chappie either except Harry going to the Weasley's and Quidditch and a surprise for Harry...Thank you guys so much for reviewing!!!!
Harry coughed as he rolled out of the Weasley's fireplace.
"I can't wait 'till I pass my Apparation test," he said as he brushed himself off as he looked at Sirius, who looked no dirtier than normal.
"Harry!" He was soon embraced in a tight hug. He looked up to see Mrs. Weasley's face.
"Hello, Mrs. Weasley," he said struggling to breathe.
"Mum," she a girl's voice, "He can't breathe! Hello, Harry."
"Oh, right, sorry," said Molly looking rather embarrassed and let go of him.
"Hello, Ginny," said Harry rubbing his neck. He looked over at her. She didn't seem to have a crush on him still, for she was acting normal. That was good, finally. She did look very pretty though; he couldn't help but feel a little regret. Where did that thought come from???
Mrs. Weasley spotted Sirius. "And is that-"
"Snuffles," Harry said quickly, glancing at Ginny.
"Oh right... Well come on then everyone's here," she said as Harry followed her and Ginny into the kitchen.
He saw many people in there. There was all nine of the Weasley's, Arabella, and Hermione sitting around talking among themselves. They all looked up when Harry came in. Most of them didn't know how to treat him after what happen at the end of term and muttered, "Hello." Ron and Hermione however came over and gave him a hug.
"How are you doing, Harry?" asked Ron.
"Peachy, Ron. Just Peachy." He said. Suddenly Fred and George got up.
"Anyone for a game of Quidditch?" asked Fred.
* * *
So, several of them walked up to the group of trees that blocked them from view of the muggles. And after several charms from Bill and Charlie to make the Quidditch balls stay inside the designated area, the group could finally get up in the air and have some fun.
"Okay," Charlie said, once everybody was up in the air. "We have to pick teams and positions. Harry and I will be captains. Harry's team gets Quaffle first, if I pick first. Everyone agree?" There were some nods of heads. "Okay, I pick Ron."
Ron sped by Harry grinning evilly, and took his position beside Charlie as Keeper. Harry looked around and picked, much to his surprise as anyone else's, Ginny. She blushed slightly and moved over by Harry as she grabbed the Quaffle from Charlie. She was their Chaser.
They kept taking turns until the result of team-picking and position-finding went like this. On Harry's team, there was him, of course, as Seeker, Ginny as Chaser, Fred as Beater, and Bill as Keeper. On Charlie's team, he played Seeker, Hermione was Chaser, George was Beater, and Ron was Keeper.
Harry's firebolt was definitely the best broom. The others were on the Wealsley's brooms, which were um...pretty slow... Let's just say that when Fred was going as fast as he could to the opposite end and the worm on the ground got there before him...
"Ready?" asked Charlie. Everyone nodded. "Then let's play some Quidditch!"
And they were off, Harry rocketed upwards to look for the snitch. It shouldn't be too hard since it had a broken wing. Harry looked around for Charlie. Charlie was "zooming" around the bottom of the field. He looked around for the snitch and saw Ginny about to score, but was suddenly intercepted by Ron.
"Wow," Harry said to himself, "Ron's pretty good."
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Harry saw the snitch. (A/N: *GASP*)
He bolted downward. Come on, he thought to himself, beet the legendary Charlie Weasley. He was inches away. Then, finally, he felt the battered wings in his sweaty palms.
"Wow," said Charlie, dumbstruck, "You're really good! It was one thing against the Horntail, but wow!!!"
"Thanks," said Harry going red.
"Well, come on," said Bill, smiling exactly like Fred and George do when they're pulling a prank, "Let's go back up to the house."
"What's up?" asked Harry, confused.
"Nothing," said all the Weasleys and Hermione.
"Am I missing something?" said Harry, looking around at everyone.
"Come on," said Ron.
"um... OK..." he said still very confused.
All nine of them walked up to the house while Harry tried to ask what was going on.
They walked inside but no one was there.
"Hmm..." said George, " I guess no one's home..."
"SURPRISE!" Harry jumped and looked around. Dozens of people jumped out from closets, hallways, under tables, and behind the couch.
Harry looked up and saw a banner that read Happy Birthday, Harry.
"...me?" he asked Ron.
"Yup, Happy Birthday, Harry."
Harry looked around. He saw a lot of people from Grffindor. He saw everyone from the team (including Oliver Wood), Neville Longbottom, Dean Thomas, Seamus Finigann, Pavarti Patil, Lavender Brown, and several teachers. There was Professor McGonall, Professor Dumbledore, Professor Flitwick, Hagrid, and-
"Hello, Harry," Harry turned around to see his third year defense against the dark arts teacher- Proffessor Lupin.
"Hello," said Harry, smiling.
"Alright present time," said Mrs. Weasley as everyone brought him odd shaped packages.
Several minutes later Harry had many new books and broomstick accessories. Harry was actually happy. He wasn't worrying about what Voldemort was plotting next or the fact that there was a high chance this would be his last birthday. No, he was just a normal boy having fun at his party. He however was enjoying himself so much that he didn't notice that a certain dog was gone....
"Hey, Harry," said Ginny as everyone was eating a birthday cake that never got any smaller, "I've got one more present for you."
"What? You didn't have too-" Harry began but was cut off.
"I didn't buy you anything I did u a favor."
"What is it?" Harry asked, curiously.
"Hold on a second," she said as she left the room and went upstairs.
When Ginny came back down, she was accompanied by a large black dog- a very well groomed, large, black, dog. Sirius didn't have an ounce of dirt on him; he had a large pink bow around his neck and had painted nails. Harry chuckled.
"So, Snuffles, do you like your grooming?"
Sirius replied with a loud yelp. Everyone laughed.
* * *
That night Harry was getting into bed and Sirius at the foot (they were sleeping in Ron's room).
Suddenly Ron got up and said, "Sirius you can transform back now. I'll leave so you guys can talk alone."
"Thanks, Ron," Harry replied.
Immediately, Sirius changed back into his godfather.
"Hey I still have painted nails," he frowned. Harry laughed. Sirius looked under the bed , and pulled out a small wrapped box.
"Here," he said handing Harry the box, "This is my present to you. Well, actually it was your fathers, but I'm giving it to you. I thought you might like it."
Harry opened the box and saw it was a necklace. A gold chain, with a golden stag on the bottom.
"Wow," he breathed, "thanks, Sirius. This was my dad's?"
"Yup. We all had one. I had a dog, Remus had a wolf and," Sirius's face fell dark and spit out the last words as if it were vermin, "and Peter had a rat."
Sirius fumbled with his collar and showed Harry his gold dog.
"And see what else they do?" he took off the chain and put the dog on the table. The dog suddenly got up and walked around and sniffed things. Harry smiled.
"Well, you better get to sleep. Good night," and with that he hugged Harry, gave him a kiss on his forhead and changed back.
Then Ron came back in, turned off the light, muttered, "Good night," to Harry and they all went peacefully to sleep.

A/N: Hint: Remember the necklace!!!!! I'm soooooooooooooooo sorry it took so long. I've been busy and sometimes this evil torture device known as the computer wouldn't work and GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! I'm ok. Thanks to everyone who reviewed. Luv you guys. And does anyone know any forms of torchure that wouldn't actually kill this unlucky person that Voldemort gets his hands on...besides Crucio...
