A/N : -A Review on what happened in sixth year: - In sixth year Voldimort disappeared and Dumbledore can't find him. It turned out that Lucius Malfoy had been taking a potion that was quite like the impirius curse and was realised from Askaban.

Hermoine is quite pleased with the friendship between them but Ron is still trying to not call him ferret. The four of them as well as the DA went after Bellatrix and she now resides in Askaban. It was quite a surprise when the found the ghost of Sirius bound to her. He is now free and living at Hogwarts, were he has started up a relationship with the Grey Lady.

Harry awoke with a bitter-sweet felling in his stomach. The sweet thing was he talk to his parents the bitter thing was that Harry said good bye to his parents for the last time.

Flash backEnd of flash back

Harry got out of bed and looked in the mirror. His eyes were red and slightly puffy from crying himself to sleep. It was for the best he told himself.

After he got dressed he noticed that some owls were sitting next to Hedwig cage with some packages. Hedwig had gone and come back with Hermione's package. Harry opened the letter and read

Dear Harry,

Happy 17th birthday. As you can tell I got you a book. But
when I saw it I thought of you and had to get.
I hope you enjoy it.
From the love of your best friend

Hermoine

Harry put down the letter and unwrapped the book. Having Magical Creatures As Your Friends by Torrance Wolf. Harry laughed. Trust Hermione thought Harry. Then he took the letter from the sleeping Pig

Hay Harry

How are you mate? I hope the muggles aren't giving you
trouble.
Happy 17th Birthday for everyone.

Ron

P.S If there is any trouble at home your welcome over anytime.

Harry shook his head and opened the box. It was full of sweets. Berty Botts Every Flavoured Bean, Chocolate Frogs, and Blood Pops. He could of done with out the Blood Pops.

He then opened other cards and presents from his other friends. Sirius gave him his family home. Lupin and Snape (who have gotten over their differences, have since then formed a relationship of sorts) sent him two books, Dark Wizards Over The Centuries and Defence Against the Darks Arks Made for Simpletons. Harry laughed. He could tell which one Snape picked out.

Harry then went to the eagle owl and new it was for Draco.

Dear Harry,

Happy 17th Birthday.
I haven't sent you your present because my father and I will
be picking you up today.
By the way your staying over at my house for the rest of the
summer.
Be ready at 3:00pm sharp.

Draco Malfoy

"I really need to get him out of that habit" Harry said out loud and started packing.
