A/N-Ah, thank you for wanting to read my fanfic, for whatever reasons you may have....

This is a story of Harry Potter's sixth year at Hogwarts. Has spoilers of the

fifth book, and might not make sense if you haven't read it. Anyways, I hope you

like it, and please give corrections if you have any in the reviews. This one

of my first online fanfics, unless you count chain fanfics, which I don't.

Hope you like it!

Parents of the little children running about watched the black-haired

teenager cautiously. The boy was a good-for-nothing nuisance, or so his

Aunt and Uncle told. Harry Potter sat in the little wooden train, bored

out of his wits. He had absolutely nothing to do; he had actually finished

all of his homework in his boredom. What few letters he had gotten were

quite normal and gave little information.

"Um, mister, can I play in the train?" a little tyke, about 6 years

old and cheery, asked from beside him. The child's parents stared in fear

as to what that 'Potter boy' would do to their son.

"Fine," he muttered, scanning the sky for an owl. He had been waiting

for any mail in the last week. Getting up, he began to walk back to 4 Privet

Drive, his sorry excuse for a home. As he did, he noticed a group of people

surrounding 5 Privet Drive, across the street. In the fray, he saw Aunt

Petunia's pale yellow-brown head bobbing about. This meant he could get into

the house without anyone noticing. He sprinted across, and went through the

door, looking at the numerous shoes around, to see if Dudley was there. Twenty,

twenty-six, thirty-two. One pair was missing, therefor Dudley had gone out in

his car. He had gotten his licence that summer, and for a congratulations, his

Aunt and Uncle had gotten Dudley his shiny car. In the last two weeks, it had

been crashed four times. Harry didn't mind, because next year, he would be

able to take his apparation test, and could jinx Dudley all he wanted. But for

now, he had to withstand the Dursleys. Climbing up the stairs to his room, he

heard an unfamiliar hoot. He stumbled through his stuff to his room, then saw

the important-looking grey-black owl, who dropped a package and two letters

before heading back out the half-open window. He wondered what the second

letter was, before it struck him. His OWL marks! Grabbing the first one, he

tore it open. It was the usual Hogwarts stuff, and he tossed it aside. His

hands shook as he grabbed the second, and broke the wax seal with the owl.

As Harry grinned stupidly, he grabbed the parcel, no doubt from

Hagrid. It was a little box, with a golden ribbon around it, along with

a note, saying;

Harry,

Happy Birthday! See you at school, hope you like your present.

It's the one from your very first game.

Hagrid

Opening it up, he saw a glint of gold before it zoomed out. A snitch!

He jumped for it, but missed, as it went to flutter about the top of the

room. After finally catching it, he put it back into the velvet case, and

put it onto his desk. Hedwig had been gone for a while, and it was starting

to get dark. Yawning, he changed and went to bed. As he lay under the covers,

he could hear the Snitch beating it's wings uselessly. He chuckled to himself.

His father had a Snitch too.
