Harry Potter woke up find Ronald Weasley yelling his head off to wake him.
'HARRY!! HARRY! HARRY! WAKE UP!!!!!' Ron bellowed but to his disappointment Harry didn't wake up. He sighed and went to sit in his bed while Harry slowly got up.
'What's the hurry?' Harry asked groggily.
'What's the hurry?!' Ron imitated in surprise, 'It's July thirty-first, you git! Today is your birthday!!!'
'Oh' Harry replied and sat lazily on his bed wondering what the big deal was.
As Ron and Harry entered the Great Hall, Harry was bombarded with Happy Birthday comments, presents, pats on the back and most of all, applause. He was also surprised to see all the DA members there.
'Wotcher Harry! Happy Birthday!' Nym yelled in front of him to make him hear and gave him a present.
He opened it and found that the book was on Occlumency. He sighed and shook his head slightly.
'Happy Birthday, Potter' Moody growled - like always - and gave him a present.
Harry went down and sat between Ron and Hermione. Suddenly an owl came sweeping in. He recognized it as his own, Hedwig. He quickly untied it and read the following:
Hogwarts, Great Hall Dear Mr. Potter,
This is the letter that will tell you about your O.W.L.s as well as the list of things you will need for your sixth year at Hogwarts.
Minerva Mcgonnagal Deputy Headmistress
Harry rose with hope remembering the words Professor Mcgonnagal had said. He opened the second piece of parchment in the pack of three.
He read it quickly and put it aside so that he could see how many O.W.L.s he'd achieved.
O.W.L.s achieved by Mr. Harry Potter:
Care of magical creatures: O Charms: E Divination: O Defence against the Dark Arts: O Potions: P Transfiguration: A Herbology: E
O= 2 points l E= 1 points l A= .50 point l Rest= .25 point l Total= 8.75 O.W.L.s O-Outstanding E-Exceeds Expectations A-Acceptable P-Poor U-Unacceptable
Harry didn't notice everybody peeking at the letter. He reread it again. He couldn't believe it! His chances of being an Auror was gone, thanks to Snape. He looked over at Ron and Hermione, who were also buried in their letters. "What did you two get?"
"I got only 6 O.W.L.s!" Ron complained.
"I got 11.5 O.W.L.s!" Hermione squealed.
"How about you Harry?" Ron asked.
"I got 8.75 O.W.L.s."
"Harry, Dumbledore wants to see you tonight." Nym informed. He nodded.

That night, Harry went up to Dumbledore's office. He reached the stone gargoyle only to realize that he didn't know the password. "Looking for the password Harry?"
He quickly looked in front of him and saw Albus Dumbledore smiling at him. "Yes professor."
"Come on in. I need to talk with you."
"Yes sir."
"Do sit down." Dumbledore encouraged after they'd come inside his office. "Harry, it is time I tell you everything that I did not tell you after the incident that happened a month ago."
Harry nodded for Dumbledore to continue. "You are to know that you are the heir to Gryffindor just as Miss Chang is the heir to Ravenclaw. You are also to train with me to become an animagi because it will come to great help when it is time to face Voldemort."
It took awhile for that to sink in. Harry was shocked at learning that he was the heir to Gryffindor and that he would train to become an animagi. He wanted to argue but Dumbledore had his hand up first.
"You are dismissed."
"Yes professor." Harry sighed and left.
On the way back, Harry met Cho. "Er...hi."
"Hey Harry."
"Listen Cho, I...I-I'm really sorry about the argument that happened two nights ago."
"I don't accept." She responded coolly and turned on him.
"B-but.why?"
"I DON'T NEED A REASON TO NOT ACCEPT AN APOLOGY JUST LIKE I DON'T NEED A REASON TO HATE YOU! I WISH CEDRIC WAS HERE!"
"Don't say his name in front of me!" Harry fired back but instantly realised he'd made a mistake.
What? H-h-how d-d-dare y-you?" Cho started crying and left.
"Cho..CHO!" he called but she didn't turn back.
Harry kicked at the air in frustration. He would never be able to make it up. He shrugged and went towards the Gryffindor tower. He had to be prepared for the DA members tomorrow.
