Thanx Star Estrella for the review.

Chapter 2. Let it all out

After Harry ate he sat in his room waiting for Rons reply or

Remus came first. Harry figured it would be Remus,because he usually

came over at 11. Ron never wakes up till about 12 on the holidays. So

he waited quietly.

About ten minutes later Harry heard a knock on the door. Harry

ran down the stairs seeing an older women with bright red hair, and

hazel eyes."Is your mother here?" she asked

"No, but my aunt is." Harry said dully.

"May I speak with her please?" she asked kinda rudely.

"Yeah, hold on I will go get her." Harry said turning around

and walking to the kitchen. "Aunt Petuina, some women is here to see

you."

"Tell them I am not here." she said acting busy.

"I already told her you were here." Harry said smirking.

"What! what good are you for? can't even lie right." she

brushed pass him."Hello what can I do for you?" she asked her with a

fake smile.

"Your son and his friends have been beating up on my boy ever

since summer began!" she shouted at Petuina.

"Who, that one." she said pointing at Harry "He is not my son!"

"No, not him the overweight one. 'Big D' or whatever!" She

Yelled at Petunia. Harry by that time was sitting on the landing

listening to the whole thing.

"My son would never do that he is a careering boy." Petunia said

diffidently.

"Yes he has! I have seen that porker hit my Mark more than

once. And if you plan to nothing I am going to file a report." she

shouted and then turned around and walked a way.

"The nerve of that women." Petunia was muttering while walking

back to the kitchen. Harry just went to his room . He figured that

the boy was Mark Evens, the little boy that Dudley beat up last year.

Harry wasn't even in his room for five minutes when he heard a

knock on the door. He went down stairs, opened the door and saw Remus

there with a slight smile on his face. "Happy Birthday Harry!"

Harry forgot that it was is birthday. Usually the night before

he got his Hogwarts stuff. "Good morning Remus. What are we doing today,

going to Mrs. Figgs house?"

"No, there has been a change in plans. Lets go get your stuff."

Harry didn't need telling twice. He sprinted up to his room

and started packing."You want some help?" Remus asked from the doorway

holding his wand up .

"Sure," Harry stood to the side while Remus started waving

everything into his trunk. "Were are we going?"

"My house, we made it the house for the order since what

happened at the end of last year." He paused and looked at Harry."If

there is anything you want to talk about you can come to me, he was my

bestfriend."

"No, I am okay," Harry said quickly

"Well my house is safe. Its in the middle of a forest The only

people that knew where it was before we used it was Sirius,Dumbledore,

and me. so we will be fine. Dumbledore put a fediuls(sp sorry) charm on

it just in case."

"How are we going to get there," Harry asked confused.

"First were going to go to Mrs. Figgs, then we are gonna floo

to Hogsmeade." Lupin finished.

"Do you live in the forbidden forest?" Harry asked a little

scared.

"No! NO, Harry do you remember the cave that Sirius used to

stay at in your third year?"

"Yeah,why?"

"You know how there was a forest on the other side. Well I live

just a little ways into those woods."

"Oh,ok." By know Harry was already done packing and ready to

go. Remus shrunk Harrys trunk and Hedwigs cage, and put them in his

pocket. They made small talk on the way to Mrs. Figgs, but it stoped

when Remus knocked on the door.

"Hello Remus, and Happy Birthday Harry. Come on in." she

greeted them. "Would you two like some tea?"

"Yes please, Harry how about you?" Remus asked him.

"Sure," Harry said not paying much attention, because Mrs.

Figgs house no longer smelt like cabbage. Also there was not one cat in

sight. "Mrs. Figg, What happened to all your cats."

"Got rid of them. Now that you know who I am there is no reason

to make you hate this place." she said pouring him a cup of tea." And

its Bella, I had to use an aging potion all these years, I am trying to

get the last bit of this out of me.I hate being old.See since you are

16 Ablus said its okay if I tell you the truth. Also I am not a squib.

I had to tell you that because if any one seen me use any magic at all,

It would blow Albus's plans."

They drank the rest of there tea and was gone. When they

arrived at the Three BroomSticks, Remus ordered the butterbeer to go.

They walked up to the big mountain, and walked past the cave Sirius was

hiding a mere two years ago. It hurt Harry to think about it, but he

didn't want to show it.

It was about a twenty minute walk once they were in the woods.

When they came upon the house Harry was amazed. It was a nice big two

story house with a little garden in the front. Harry laughed at the

garden, mainly because he could image Remus out front wearing the kind

of clothes aunt Petiuna were when she was gardening. The only thing

that made the house look scary, was a huge Iron door for the front door

and every window had thick iron bars on it.

When they got inside they were in a little hallway. The walls

were painted dark red. It looked like a muggle house. Mainly because

there was no moving pictures."This way " Remus lead him to his living

room. He flicked on the light. "Happy Birthday."

"Wow" was all that Harry could say. He looked around the room

and saw Dumbledore, Tonks, Mr and Mrs. Weasly, Ron, Ginny, Hermione,

Fred, George, and McGonagall. Mrs. Weasley was holding an ice cream

cake that said 'Happy Birthday Harry', and had a picture of a Firebolt

and a snitch on it. Harry blew out the candles, and wished that one day

that all this fighting would be over.

Harry was trying to talk to Ron and Hermione, when Fred and

George pulled him away and said that it was time for presents.Harry

opened Mr. and Mrs. Weasleys present first. Like usual it was some

sweets from Honeydukes. Next was from the twins. It was a box full of

their latest inventions with a note.

Harry.

We had to give to you. I felt only

right to give our founder free samples.

promise to use all of these this year.

If you ever need any more just stop by.

Everything is free to you.

F and G

Harry looked up and the twins were smiling. Next Harry moved

On to Ron's present. He opened it, it was a wand carrying case. You put

it on your forearm. "Figured you might need it this year. You can even

use it in Quidditch." Ron finished. Harry tried it on, it felt weird at

first.

Next was Hermione's, It was a book like usual. But this time

it was a good book. 'The easy way to Animagus' Harry smiled and looked

at her, she winked at him and smiled back.

Harry next went to McGonagall's, It was another book but it was

for his N.E.W.T.s class."But Professor I didn't get my results yet."

Harry told her.

"Got them right here. I was waiting for you to get here to give

them to you." and she handed it to him. "sorry I took a peek."

Harry ripped the letter open in a hurry. It Read:

Mr. Potter you have received 6 out of 9 O.L.W.s

Harry looked up at Professor McGonagall. "I can't become an

Auor."

"Harry I have seen to it that you were accepted into N.E.W.T.s

Potions." She said with a slight smile.

"Thank you Professor." Harry was proud. He could become an Auor

just like his dad and Sirius.

Next Harry went on to Dumbledore's present. Dumbledore led

Harry into the hall and up the stairs. He pushed open the door. "In

YOUR room Harry." Harry didn't go in at first because it was HIS room.

When he finally went in it was a baby Phoenix. "Fawks and one of my

dear friend's phoenix had a littler. She was going to sell them original,

but this ones eyes remind me of you. And since your birthday was so

close I decided to keep this one for you." Dumbledore watched Harry

with amazement."His name is Blaze, Harry.". The baby phoenix was three

time the size of Fawks and had sharp green eyes.

Harry then went down stairs, and brought Blaze with him on his

shoulder. Everyone looked at Harry in amazement.After everyone calmed

dinner Mrs.Weasley announced that dinner was ready. The meal was

cheerful and happy.

After dinner everyone left but the Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Ron,

Ginny, Ron , Hermione, and Tonks. Harry sat in the den next to the fire

playing Ron in Chess, while Hermione and Ginny talked on the couch next

to them. A little while later they played a game of exploding snap.

Ginny then went up stairs to go to sleep.

The Ron, and Hermione sat and talked to Harry about owls, and

who might be the new DADA teacher might be. A little bit latter Ron

went up stairs leaving Harry and Hermione alone.

"Hermione did you really want to become an Animagi?" Harry

asked her hopefully.

"Yeah, I thought it would be cool to do what Sirius...."

At Sirius' name Harry put his head down in his hands. "Harry do

you want to talk."

"No, you won't understand." He told her.

"I might not understand, but it's not good to hold it all in.

Just let it all out. "Just say what ever you want."

"Well its just that....well Sirius died because of me as did

Cedric, my parents, and everyone else that died because of Voldermort.

"Harry, there is nothing that you can do about it. What was

Laid before you is your fate, Harry. Nothing is going change it. Harry

your parents and Sirius died because they loved you. Its not your

fault. Your parents could have gave you to him . Sirius could have just

stayed at number 12 and left you there to die. So Harry if you give up

then all those people would have died for nothing. Harry your Parents

and Sirius would have died for nothing." Harry just sat there listening

to her. When she was done he felt he had to tell her about the

Prophecy.

"Hermione, I have to tell you something." Harry explained it to

her. She was in tears at the end.

"Harry I never knew," she said getting up and hugging him."I am

so sorry." They just sat there holding each other for a while. When the

got upstairs Hermione told him "Harry its going to be okay. goodnight"

Before she could walk to her room Harry grabbed her and gave her

a kiss on the lips. Then in the middle of the kiss his senses kicked

on. 'What are you doing she's your best friend.Yeah but she's kissing you

back.' They pulled apart Harry and Hermione were both blushed.

"Goodnight." she said and walked to her room and shut the

door. "goodnight " Harry whispered. That night Harry and Hermione both

went to bed feeling closer to each other.

Hey. there you guys go. I didn't know if Phoneix's had litters or just one baby . sorry.
