"Where is she" Hermione asked.
"She's probably looking for u" Ron said.
Hermione left to go find Lavender.
"So how u been mate" Harry asked Ron.
"I've been fair" Ron said "u".
"Excellent since Hermione and I started going out" Harry said.
"So is it true what it says in the paper" Ron said.
"What's in the paper" Harry asked.
"That u are Head Boy" Ron asked.
"Yes" Harry asked.
"That's excellent man" Ron said.
"Hermione's Head Girl" Harry said.
"Even more excellent" Ron said.
Together they left the shop to find Hermione, and Lavender.
"Over here u guys" Hermione yelled from the archway leading to the Leaky Cauldron.
They headed over there.
"SO did u guys rent a room here" Harry asked.
"Yeah we're in room 18" Ron said.
"We're in room 17" Hermione said.
"Sweet" Lavender said.
Together they walked into the Leaky Cauldron and up to they're rooms.
They played a couple of games and went to bed.
The next day was Harry's birthday.
Harry and Hermione woke up to find Dumbledore, Lupin, and Sirius waiting for them to get up.
They got dressed and ate breakfast.
"Before we leave" Sirius said "Open ur preasents".
Harry was handed boxes upon boxes.
He sat down and Ron, and Lavender came in with more boxes.
They piled them up in front of Harry.
Harry opened Sirius's present first.
"Sirius this is so cool" Harry said.
"What is it" Hermione asked.
"Harry lifted the present out of the box.
"Oh how cute" Lavender, and Hermione said.
Harry sat the puppy on the ground and Sirius beamed proudly.
"U wanted a puppy when u were a baby but ur parents wouldn't let u have 1 so know as ur Godfather I gave u 1" Sirius said.
"Thank-u" Harry said.
Then he opened Lupins.
It was a ring with an emerald on it.
"It was ur Mothers" Remus said.
Then he opened Ron's.
It was a pisture of all three of them in they're 1st year.
Then he opened Dumbledore's.
It was a book.
"What is this" Harry asked.
"It's an empty book for u to put all ur adventures from all ur previous years at Hogwarts for everybody to read" Dumbledore said.
"So it's an biography" Harry said.
"Yes" Dumbledore said "It's also like a pensive" Dumbledore said.
Then he opened Lavenders.
It was a $100 dollar ticket to his fav restaurant Friday's.
Then he opened Hermione's.
It was a watch.
"Press the button on the side" Hermione said.
Harry pressed the button and the watch turned into a clock that had Hermione, Ron, Lavender, Sirius, Dumbledore, and Remus on the hands.
The #'s were now Travel, Home, Hurt, Work, School, Captured, Transformed.
"Hermione this is awesome" Harry said.
"He hit the button again.
"Okay now we need to leave or we'll be late" Harry said.
They all left and Ron, and Lavender went with them.
When they arrived Harry, and Hermione were escorted to the place where they're wands were inspected.
They got they're wands back and were givin name tags.
They were then led to the court room.
There were bleachers for the judge's, and friends were sitting.
Fudge sat in the big middle chair.
Harry, and Hermione sat down in the chairs in the middle of the room.
Harry took her hand because he saw her shaking.
"It'll be okay" Harry said.
"U sure" Hermione said.
"Yes" Harry said "We did nothing wrong".
Hermione relaxed a little but was still tense.
Fudge pounded his gravel and started to speak.
"We are here to notice that underage magic was performed in a muggle area" Fudge said.
"Mr. Potter is it true that u performed magic in the form of a pantronus" Fudge asked.
"Yes" Harry said.
"Are u aware that u were still underage" Fudge said.
"Yes. Though I am no longer underage" Harry said.
"And why is that" Fudge said.
"Today is my b-day" Harry said.
"And how old are u" Fudge said.
"I am 18" Harry said.
"Miss. Granger u also performed magic did u not" he asked.
"Yes" Hermione said.
"So u both performed magic" Fudge said.
"Yes" Harry said "But it was totally legal" Harry said.
"How can it be u are underage" Fudge said.
Harry took out his wand.
"Accio" Harry said.
A big book came flying into the court room.
It settled itself into Harry's lap and he started flipping through it.
"Ah. Section H, Page 4" Harry said.
(Just so u know each section in the book has page's 1-10).
"If underage magic is performed in a muggle inhabited area it must be for defense, and defense only" Harry said.
Fudge scowled.
The jury looked at each other.
"All in favor of clearing all charges raise ur hand" Fudge said.
There were 15 people on the jury, and 13 of them raised they're hands.
Harry smiled.
"All in favor of expulsion from Hogwarts raise ur hands".
The rest of the jury and Fudge raised they're hands.
He scowled and banged his gravel.
"All charges cleared" he said.
Harry and Hermione shared a quick kiss before they stood up.
They were met outside the door by the hole gang.
They went out to lunch to celebrate.
Harry ripped his tag off of his shirt and threw it away.
