Surprise
Harry sat there silently for ten minutes or so, and then he slowly looked up at Cho. She sat there looking out the window at the passing scenery while raindrops softly hit the window. 'What should I say?' Harry thought to himself. 'She probably thinks I'm a total dork for not talking to her.' "Uhh, so how long did you stay with your grandma?" Harry finally asked. She smiled and replied, "Well, my parents are off traveling the world for a year, so I'm staying with my grandma until they get back." "Oh, well, that sounds kind of fun" Harry said, and then he thought to himself, 'I am such a loser! That sounded so dumb!' "Yeah, it would be if my grandma wasn't insane!" she laughed a little, "You see, she's a little, well, off her rocker. If you know what I mean? But she's not too bad to be around." Finally the ice was broken. Harry and Cho talked for the rest of the trip. When the train pulled into the station, Harry said "well, this is my stop. It was nice to see you again Cho!" "And it was nice to see you too!" she said, blushing a little. "Send me an owl sometime!" "O.ok." Was all Harry could say. 'Does that mean that she likes me?' he asked himself.
Harry gathered his things and got off of the train. He looked around for the Weasley family, only to find that not all of them were there. Bill was standing on the platform alone. He turned, saw Harry's confused look, and grinned. "Don't worry, you'll see." Was all that he said before taking Harry's things and turning away. They walked silently to the cab that was waiting for them and climbed in. *POP* They were at the burrow within seconds. "How did we get here so fast!?" Harry asked excitedly. "It's a new trick I learned. I can make just about anything apparate. You name it! People, cars, and even houses if I want to! Cool huh?" bill said animatedly. Harry nodded, and got out of the car. Before he could even take a step towards the house, people were running towards him. He was bombarded with hellos and hugs, the atmosphere was perfect. Just they way it always was when he was at the Weasley's house. "Harry, you won't believe who." *stomp* Mrs. Weasley tried to make stepping on Ron's foot look like an accident, and just said "oh, sorry dear." "What do you mean 'who'? Who what?" "Umm.I meant what. Yeah, what! What I got you for your birthday!" Ron said, his face turning red. "It's time to go inside! Harry, close your eyes and I'll lead you." Hermione said with a grin. He closed his eyes and she took his hand to lead him into the house. 'Wow,' he thought to himself, as his cheeks turned red. 'I've never noticed how.how perfect Hermione is until now. Wait!! What am I saying? This is Hermione we're talking about!' Just then he heard a familiar voice yell "SURPRISE!" He opened his eyes to find Sirus standing in front of him. The smile on his face was so big it seemed to go from one ear to the other. "Sirus?" Harry half stated, half asked. Sirus nodded. "But how? I thought you were.you know? And I saw you.I saw the light hit you.but you're here..how?" Harry was rambling. "Calm down Harry dear" Mrs. Weasley said, guiding him to the nearest chair. "Sit, and we'll explain." "Well," Sirus began. " I knew that voldamort would not be defeated that night. Dumbledore knew too. To tell you the truth, the whole order knew. Dumbledore told us that somebody close to you had to be removed from the picture so that voldamort wouldn't be able to read your thoughts and find you." "But how would that help?" Harry asked. "Maybe I should explain? Seeing that it was my idea." Harry saw Dumbledore walk out of the fire and sit on a chair across the room. "Sorry I'm late, Hogwarts business." "So, how would that help?" Harry asked again. "Well, of if you couldn't concentrate on anything but the death of someone you loved dearly, voldemort wouldn't be able to get into your head. All he would be able to see is the death of that loved one, and that's not helpful to him at all.. You see what I'm saying Harry?" Dumbledore asked with a slight smile. "Sirus volunteered because he knew it would devastate you if he was gone." Sirus had a very sad face at this point. "I hated to do it Harry, but I had to. I hope you understand that I did it to save you. Voldemore is weakening again because he can't get to his source of power." "And what's that?" Harry asked. "Not what, Harry, But who. You Harry, are the source of all of voldemort's power. He got to all of his victims through you. Through your memories and thoughts. That's why I had to do what I did." Harry thought for a second, while everyone looked expectantly at Harry, as if looking for approval. "Thank you Sirus. And you also Dumbledore. In fact, thank you all." Harry said looking around the room with tears in his eyes. This is the best birthday ever. "Okay, enough of that! Dinner's getting cold!" Mrs. Weasley piped in.
Dinner was great. Mrs. Weasley, Hermione, and genny spent all day preparing all of Harry's favorites. Everyone talked and laughed the night away. As soon as dinner was done, a big cake appeared in the middle of the table. "Happy birthday Harry!" everyone said in unison. This couldn't get any better' Harry thought as he blew out the candles.
