"You did it Harry!" Hermione squealed, jumping up at him and hugging him tightly.
Harry blinked. "What do you mean? I - I made it?" He asked, and she pulled away, handing him the letter.
CHARMS = E
TRANSFIGURATION: E
HERBOLOGY: A
DEFENSE AGAINST DARK ARTS: O
POTIONS: E (At this Harry was quite surprised, and had to read it over a few more times to be sure that he wasn't seeing things).
CARE OF MAGICAL CREATURES: O
DIVINATION: D
ASTRONOMY: A
HISTORY OF MAGIC: D
He frowned slightly at his last few marks, but he hadn't planned on taking any of them again, and it was only to be expected. He knew that he wouldn't have done very well on them anyway.
He scanned through his Potions, Defense Against Dark Arts, Charms and his Transfiguration marks, smiling. He had made it. He was going to be an Auror...or could at least try.
"You could've done better though Harry. I mean, your Divination and History of Magic especially.
Harry grinned. "I wasn't planning on taking them again anyway," he said simply.
Hermione gave him a look that blandly said 'you really shouldn't brush these marks off,' but Harry ignored it.
And so, Harry's birthday part started. It involved a lot of magical pranks pulled on Harry's Aunt, Uncle and Cousin, on Fred and Georges part, lots of food, cake, and other magical delights, that completely disgusted Harry's family.
They went to the zoo, where Fred asked Harry to ask one of the pythons to "attack" Dudley, without actually hurting him, of course.
Hermione and Harry spent a lot of time there explaining to the twins and Ron what the animals were, that they didn't have magical abilities, and no, their were no half-naked mermaids at the dolphin show for the twins to gawk at.
Then they went to the movies, where Ron and Fred tried to talk to the people on the movie screen, while George was taking great pleasure in making shadow puppets in the picture.
They, of course, had been kicked out of the theatre, but Harry couldn't remember the last time he had that much fun in the muggle world.
"Where should we go next?" Ron asked, fully psyched about all the stuff in the muggle world.
"How about the arcade?" Harry asked, seeing the colourful building not to far off.
"Do you really trust these three in an arcade?" Hermione asked flatly, eyeing the Weasly's.
"What's an arcade?" ((Lol, I'm sure they have wizarding arcades...leave me alone)) George asked his twin.
Fred shrugged. "But now I wanna go," he smiled widly.
"Yeah, come on Hermione," Ron sighed.
Hermione looked at him, and sighed. "Fine, we'll go to the arcade, but if any of you do anything magical like, you're leaving," Hermione groaned.
The Weasly's nodded in agreement, and the five of them walked into the arcade together.
"That was amazing," Fred exclaimed, walking out of the arcade.
"Yeah! Did you see me shooting those zombies?" George asked excitedly.
"I think everyone saw you shooting the zombies," Hermione mumbled.
"Who knew that muggles could have that great of.... stuff!" Ron exclaimed.
Hermione and Harry decided to stay silent at that comment, knowing it wasn't exactly directed at them.
The three brother's had caused quite a scene, though they weren't the only ones. It seemed there were a great deal of people who were having a great time.
Fred had gotten a high score in a game called "Police 911", while George had just fallen short of one in the zombie game.
Needless to say, they all wanted to come back, but Harry doubted it was going to happen. He looked at the sky.
"I got to go home," he sighed, dejectedly. Hermione, Ron, Fred and George all sighed heavily.
"Later Harry," they muttered, and walked him home. Fred and George bickered with Hermione and Ron, before finally deciding that going home with the two of them the muggle way was probably best.
Harry waved good-bye, before entering his house and sighing. His "family" didn't say anything, as he went to his room, and fell asleep. As much as he hated to admit it, he was tired after all the fun he had had.
And soon, he smiled softly in his sleep, he would be off to Hogwarts.
