The presents
"Now it's time for Harry to open his presents." Mr. Weasley said over all of the talking. "Yes, and then it's off to bed for all of you! We've got a long day tomorrow!" Mrs. Weasley added. "Ron, go get the gifts from the other room." "Ok, mum! Be right back Harry!" Ron said excitedly as he ran out of the room. Not more than a minute later he walked in with an overflowing armful of presents. "Are those all for me?" Harry asked in a diminutive voice. "Of course they are silly!" Ginny said happily. "Who else would they be for?" "Open mine first Harry. I have to be going soon." Dumbledore said with a smile. "School is upon us!"
Harry took the small, oddly wrapped present from Dumbledore and unwrapped it elatedly. Inside the package there was a single key. "What is this for professor?" Harry asked curiously. "You will find the missing piece of the puzzle when you get to Hogwarts, Harry. Until then, keep this key safe. Now I must be off!" Dumbledore turned without another word and walked back into the fire. "Ours next!" Fred and George yelled. They handed him a bid box of new products from their gift shop. "This should be enough to last you until Christmas!" they grinned, but stopped when they saw the frown on their mother's face. "Now me and Arthur's Harry, dear." Mrs. Weasley said softly. "We thought you'd like it!" Harry took the large box and un-wrapped it enthusiastically. It was a small trunk, and inside was a quiddach set. This included all of the balls used in the game. "WOW! Thank you!" Harry said as he hugged them. "Now ours!" Ron and Hermione said together. "We spent all summer making it!" Harry opened the small, neatly wrapped gift. It was a ring. "What does it do?" Harry asked. "Well," Hermione said proudly. "It tells you if someone is in trouble. All you have to do is put it on and say the name of the person. It turns colors to show how the person is." "And you guys made it?" "Yeah," said Ron happily. "We both did!" "Thank you!" Harry said happily. Bill grabbed a box on the table and handed it to Harry. "This is more for all of you." He said. "I know how you all have a sweet tooth, so I thought the best thing for that would be sweets!" "Thank you!" Harry said.
Everything was still for a moment. Only two gifts were left sitting on the table. Sirus looked a Harry for a moment, and then smiled. You look so much like your father, but at the same time, so much like your mother. There are so much of them in you that it feels like they're still here sometimes. I thought you might like these." He said. He pushed the two packages towards Harry. When he opened them, he knew whose they were. There was no need to ask. He got a beautiful set of pearls that belonged to his mother, and an old pocket watch that belonged to his father. Harry looked up at Sirus with the biggest smile a person could have. Today really was perfect.
Finally it was time for bed. Harry helped Ginny and Ron clean up the kitchen and then started walking towards Ron's room, where he would be staying for the next two weeks. As he was walking up the stairs he ran into Ginny. She handed him a letter and a tiny box, then blushed and ran into her room. Harry just walked up the stairs to Ron's room and sat on his bed. He opened the little box first. Inside was a small golden snitch with Harry's name engraved into it. He opened the letter and all it said was:
Harry,
I hope you like this.
Love ginny
'love?' Harry thought to himself. 'she never signs love on her letters.' "Harry? Are you going to get ready for bed or just sleep in your muggle clothes?" Ron asked sarcastically. "oh, yeah." Harry said absentmindedly as he began to change his clothes.
