Disclaimer: I don't own anything, but the plot and a few original characters.

A/N: My second chapter! I would just like to thank everyone who read and reviewed... thank you. Now on with the show.

Harry slowly trudged up the stair, to his room. Aunt Marge's comments were still fogged his brain. He didn't want to think of them. He wanted to push them away, but they keep coming back full force. *What can you expect from an unemployed father and a mother who never went to an university?* The truth was Harry knew that both of his parents were employed by the Order of the Phoenix, but he didn't know much else. He didn't even know his mother's maiden name!

Harry entered his always messy bedroom and sat down with a sigh. He stretched, cleared his mind using occluemency and fell into a deep sleep.

"Click... click... click... squwack!" Harry sat straight up in bed, breathing hard, his wand out in front of him ready to attack. He breathed deeply taking air into his startled body and looked around and saw Hedwig and Erol, the Weasleys' ancient owl, ready to be let in.

Slowly pulling himself out of bed, he stretched and walked to the window. He pushed it opened and allowed Erol and Hedwig inside. Since Erol was so old, Harry took his package first and brought him to Hedwig's cage for a drink. He then took the packages, there were two, from Hedwig. She joined Erol minutes later.

The first present that Harry opened was from Hermione, he didn't even bother with the note, knowing that all it would say, would be to keep his nose clean and stear clear of trouble. Inside the package were two books. One was titled 'N.E.W.T.S., Pass or Fail'. The other was the new advanced copy of 'Quidditch Through the Ages'. He knew that he would start that book first.

The next package was from Hagrid. Harry did read that note.

Dear Harry,
Happy Birthday. I hope those muggles are treating you well. Contact me if they're not. I'll teach those fat, old Dursley's a thing or two.
You're gonna enjoy this birthday present. It's real good.
Hagrid

Opening the package Harry found a present wrapped in rough, brown paper. He opened that, too. Inside was an egg. Harry almost cried at the sight. *I hope it's not another Norbert.*

Gently laying the egg aside, Harry reached for the package from Ron and the other Weasley's. It was carefully wraped, obviously by Mrs. Weasley, and rather heavy. *Poor Erol, having to carry this.* Harry opened the red and gold paper. Inside was a box that Harry opened right away. A chocolate birthday cake, with lit candles and green writing. Harry took it out of the package and placed it onto his desk. He put all the things he had recieved into his trunk, and sat down on it, grabbing the cake in his hands.

Making a wish, Harry blow out the candles.

But he should of read the card... or atleast just the last line of it, the said, "Becareful what you wish for, it will come true."

*************************************************************

Harry's head throbbed and his side ached as he slowly pulled himself off the ground. He had no idea how he had gotten there, but right now he didn't care. All he cared about was getting into the Hogwarts castle that he saw before him, to give him a place to stay instead of out by the lake where he now was.

Harry grabbed his trunk that was laying next to him. He then looked around and groaned. All of his magical possensions that hadn't been in his trunk where lying around on the grass, including the egg from Hagrid.

As Harry bent to pick up the egg, it started to rain. *Just perfect!*

*************************************************************

Harry had slowly trudged his way across the castle grounds and was now on the stairs leading up to the castle. His trunk and broomstick where levitated behind him. The only thing Harry carried was the egg from Hagrid. That was only because he didn't want to offend it if it was a dragon's egg or any animal that could seriously hurt a person.

*Ugh!* Harry grunted as he pushed open the castle doors. The door knockers gave him a dirty look and mutterd to themselves that students that stayed out so late where evil and should be hung by there toe nails.

"They must be related to Flinch," muttered Harry as he closed the double doors behind him.

Harry had almost made it to Professor Dumbledoor's office he felt stunning spell hit him from behind. Harry had not be ready for it, or expecting it, and flinched as it hit him. *Damn!*, Harry thought as he fell down. *That is one strong stunning spell.*
