Chapter 2: A birthday To Remember

Harry jumped out of bed and looked around. It looked very messy around his bedroom; he never got to clean his room due to laziness.

He looked out of the window, and saw that it was a clear night; it was devoid of clouds. "I wonder if I could see Uranus from here?" Harry asked himself sarcastically. He saw four stars closely together, but there was something unusual about it, it was moving! Harry walked closer to the window. The four stars grew larger as it came closer. When it got close enough Harry realized they weren't actually stars they were owls! "I wonder why four owls are altogether?" Harry thought.

One-by-one they came in the window with a parcel or two tied to their leg, but the second owl (which Harry recognized immediately, Errol, the Weasleys' owl) crashed clumsily onto the window. So then Harry helped him in. The owls were Hedwig, Errol, a brown barn owl and a pale-brown scops owl. He figured that Hedwig was from Hermione, Errol was from the Weasleys, the barn owl was from Hogwarts and the scops owl was from Hagrid. The four owls were perched on a bookshelf by Harry's cabinet.

Harry decided to open the package from the Weasleys. It contained a card, a letter and Variety Pack of Honeydukes sweets. "Wow! This can last me the whole summer!" exclaimed Harry. Harry opened the card and it burst into a song. The card was a magnificent charmed Birthday cars that sang "Happy Birthday" song in Spanish! Harry laughed and said, "What happened? I guess it's just - well, I just don't know." Harry read in the card,

Harry,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Sorry if the birthday card sang the 'Happy Birthday' song in Spanish. Something went terribly wrong. Anyway, we all wish you a Happy Birthday and we all hope that you liked our gift. We got from Fred and George's Joke Shop! Hope the? Hope the Muggles aren't giving you a hard time. Once again Happy Birthday, Harry!

Love from,
The Weasleys

Harry was amazed with the charmed card. It was really funny. He reached out for the letter and read,

Dear Harry,

We're staying at the Burrow this summer. We all hope you're okay. There isn't anything much going on here but there's loads of stuff going on at the Ministry of Magic. They accepted dad already and is again treating him and the other members of the Order that work there fairly. Dunno what would happen if they still didn't believe Dumbledore. Dad told me that the Malfoy's dad, Lucious Malfoy, and the Deatheaters that were caught are currently in Azkaban in the top security cells. I think the Ministry has control over the Dementors by now. He also told me that Malfoy's family's gone broke. They had to sell their mansion in order to pay the crisis that Malfoy's dad had done and they're currently living in the Leaky Cauldron. There's only enough amount of gold in their vaults at Gringgots to pay for their rental at the Leaky Cauldron, which also feeds them. Dunno if Malfoy's going to even get new books this year. Wonder what would happen to Malfoy now. Well, I'll leave my letter here. Hope to see you in Diagon Alley a week before term starts.

Ron

"Yeah I wonder what would happen to Malfoy?" said Harry to himself. Just then a piece of paper fell from the letter. It was a PS. It said,

P.S. Hermione is on vacation in Greece. She sent me a letter this summer saying how fun and interesting it is in Greece. She is learning a lot of things. Said she'll send you a letter.

"Learning, yeah right. Who'd want to go to a place to learn something? I'd just relax, if I were her."

Harry reached out for Hermione's parcel. It had a letter and a journal in it. Harry waited for the journal to do something. He waited about a minute or so, but nothing happened. Harry expected the journal to do something magical like Ron's gift but he knew Hermione. Hermione was a know-it-all who really valued her Wizarding education than anything else. She'd force Harry to do homework than to play Quidditch. "I guess she couldn't find a Wizard shop in Greece." Harry said with a sigh on his face. So then, he then took her letter and it said,

Dear Harry,

I'm in Greece right now. It's really interesting here. There are a lot of things to learn. I know you may think I'm dull but I couldn't find a Wizard shop in Greece, so I bought you a journal. I thought you'd do well for some writing during the summer. You can keep you're life-long story in here so, well when you're wiped out from this world they'll know how it was in you're time and how you felt. My parents suggested it and I thought it was a brilliant idea. I'm real sorry if I couldn't send much. When I saw Hedwig up in the sky all the way here in Greece, I was surprised. I didn't know that she'd go that far though I took that under my advantage and told her to come to my window. I tied the parcel to her leg quickly because my parents were ushering me outside, so - yeah, that's pretty much it. I asked Professor Mcgonagall if I could get the books for our sixth year early so I could buy them right after the previous term ended. Anyway, I hope to see you at the Hogwarts Express on August 31.

Hermione

"Er. I guess this is okay." Harry said dully. "But I dunno about writing. I guess I'll just save it for later." Harry took the third parcel that was from Hagrid. The barn owl then flew away. There was a strange brown paper bag with a card. Harry opened the bag and peeked inside. There was a mushy- green cake inside. Harry thought it was disgusting and he decided not to eat it just now. He read the card and it said,

Harry,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HARRY! Hope yer alrigh'. Nothin' much happenin' here. O' course there's goin' to be a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Hope ya' have a grea' birthday! Hope those balsted Dursleys don' give ya' a hard time. See you this term!

Hagrid

"As always. There will always be a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. No doubt. Harry was very eager to open the letter from Hogwarts. Sixth year students needed only two new books; Standard Book of Spells, Grade 6 by Miranda Goshawk and Theories For Defense Magical by Danica Cussion.

Harry wondered how he'll be getting to Hogwarts this year. He's been there by the direction of Hagrid, Floo Powder and the Knight Bus.
