to new and important things, R&R please!)
Chapter 5: The Party
The next morning after telling Ron and Hermione about his dream, he woke up feeling very refreshed, When he woke up, the same owl from last night was sitting on the window sill, fast asleep. 'Well, what have we here,' thought Harry. It was a note from Fred and George about their new shop in Diagon Alley.
Dear Harry, We are just writing to tell you about Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes which is now open in Diagon Alley. We opened last week, but we decided to let you guys suffer. We haven't told anyone in the family so you're the first to
hear about the store. In our first week open we earned in excess of 100 galleons! The only reason we earned so much is because everyone now knows that Voldemort is back and everyone was I need of a good joke. Since we've
left Hogwart's, we've come up with a lot more jokes. Don't tell anyone until it's your birthday, we want it to be a double surprise, one for you
and one for them. Hope to see you soon.
Fred and George
'Oh cool. Gotta tell Ron,' thought Harry as he quickly got dressed and ran as fast as he could to Ron's room. To wake Ron up, Harry had to punch Ron in the face and he got the same reaction as last time but less explosive.
"RON, guess what!!!" Yelled Harry.
"What?" Said Ron sleepily.
"Fred and George have opened up their shop in Diagon Alley!" Said Harry excitedly, "I just got a letter from them this morning!"
"Wicked!" Said Ron.
A month after Harry had gotten his letter from Fred and George he agreed to keep it a secret. The only other person that knew was Ron and he was not about to tell anyone. After he had gotten up and gotten up he got dressed and headed down stairs. When they got downstairs, Hermione, Tonks, Lupin and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were sitting at the table eating breakfast looking very sad. (() I wonder why they're sad? Thought Harry, Oh well, maybe the news of Fred and George's store will cheer them up.
"Good Morning everyone," said Harry as they all looked up, "why do you all look like you've just been to a funeral?"
"Hey Harry," said Tonks, who was not acting like herself at all, "we've just found out that...t-t-that...TODAY'S YOIR BIRTH DAY!!"
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARRY!!!!" Yelled everyone.
"Wicked!!" said Harry, "I can't believe you all came!"
"Here you go Harry," said Hermione. Harry knew it was going to be a book but he still acted surprised, "I know its not very good, but because of recent events, I thought that it was appropriate."
"Oh cool Hermione," Harry said as he was opening the present. She had gotten him Curses, Hexes and Beyond: All You Will Ever Need to Know about Magic Spells. "Nice Hermione, I can see why you thought it was appropriate."
"Harry, I know that this next present will be a little emotional but I wanted to give it to you. The only thing I ask you is that you open it up somewhere else," said Remus as he handed Harry an envelope.
"Ok Remus, but can you give me a hint about what's in the envelope?" Asked Harry.
"No, I'm sorry Harry but this is a very important envelope."
"Ok," said Harry as he was receiving a present from Ron, "Thanks Ron."
"No problem mate," said Ron.
"Wicked!!!" said Harry. He had received a box that could hold a set of the Quidditch Balls, but right now, it only held the Quaffle. "Thanks Ron!!!"
The next present was from Fred and George. They had gotten him two bludgers that would go into the box that Ron had gotten him. The next present was from both Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, and it was a Snitch, which would complete his Quidditch set. The last and final present was from Moody, Tonks, Kingsley Shacklebolt and Proffesor McGonagol (not sure how to spell it). Their present was their undivided attention for when he was going to train in the fight against Voldemort. The other lesson was directly from McGonagol herself. The lesson would be in Animagus and Metamorphogu training. His training would start in two days.
"Harry, for your training, you will not be the only one that will be training, there will be others," McGonagol said, "The others that will be joining you in two days to start training are Ms. Granger, Mr. Weasly, Ms. Weasley and Mr. Longbottom. They all have a right to decline this invitation, but I do not believe that they will turn this opportunity down."
"Cool." Said Harry.
After Harry had received all of his presents, they had cake and had a large feast which Mrs. Weasley had prepared. During dinner, Harry pulled Remus aside and asked if he could open the envelope. He also asked if he would accompany him.
"Harry. Of course I will come with you. You are now like a son to me because of what happened." Said Remus.
When Harry was away from prying eyes, Remus told him that the letter contained Sirius's Will and Last Testament, and another letter from himself.
Dear Harry, Harry, when you read this, I am probably dead. I'm sorry that you had to go through what you did, but what has happened, has happened. I know you must think that you made the wrong decision, but you didn't. You were following your instincts, and I deeply respect that. I just want you to know that I love you very much and I tried my hardest to keep you from danger, but I realized that I couldn't because danger is almost like your middle name, it finds you and you don't find it. I have one more thing to say before I end
this letter. I know that you are sad without me, but I thought that I wasn't much use to the Order, but I was told otherwise by my good friend. He told me that I should not be upset that I can't do much for the Order, but I should be content with just being the best godfather/father to you as
I possibly could.
To Harry Potter I Leave: Number 12 Grimmwauld Place (I would like for this property to be used as
the Headquarters for the Order for the Phoenix) Number 1879 Chocolataire Road (This is one of the many Black estates, but I
want you to have this one)
All of the other Black Estates around Europe
The Black Vault: Vault #576 Potter Mansion (Which is located in London. You will have to ask Dumbledore
to take you there)
I have one thing left to ask of you Harry. My old friend and fellow marauder, Moony. I would like you to buy him some new robes, and let him have the pick of which estate he would like to have because he is currently without a house, and from the state of his robes, I believe that he needs
someone new ones.
Love, Sirius
As Harry read the letter he cried but as soon as the letter had ended, he realized that Sirius's death, was something that he had to get over, and soon.
Dear Harry, I realize that you are still getting over Sirius's death, but as you have read in his will, he loved you very much and wanted you to be happy with everything. Ok, now onto my gift to you. For your birthday I was going to ask you, if you would like to be adopted. I have decided to ask you this because if you ever wanted to talk to someone about issues, you couldn't
talk to your Aunt and Uncle, but you would probably want to talk with someone from the wizarding world. This is why. Also, since you have been more involved with things you have been like a son to me, and to Sirius.
Will you be my adopted son?
Remus
"Remus, of course I accept your propostion." Said Harry as he hugged Remus. (Just so you know, Harry and Remus, are not gay, even though the way I am writing this may make it seem like they are gay, they are not)(Now back to my story beatches)
"Harry, if we are going to finalize this I need you to sign some papers," said Remus as he handed Harry a quill and the adoption papers, "I have already signed as you can see, all that we need to do is for you to sign right here," said Remus as he pointed to where Harry had to sign and intitial. "Now it is final, you are now my son. I will understand if you don't want to call me dad right away but if you want t-."
"Dad, please stop being all weird." Harry said while cutting Remus off. He hugged Remus and then left the room to tell everyone the big news.
"I have an announcement to make!" Harry said. No-one stopped talking, "OI! I HAVE AN ANOUNCEMENT TO MAKE!!" Harry yelled.
Everyone stopped, and looked questioningly at Harry. "I wanted to say... Remus is now my new dad, he just adopted me!"
"Wicked Harry!" Said Ron.
"That's very nice Harry, but you all really need to go bed if you want to go to Diagon Alley tomorrow." Said Mrs. Weasley as she ushered Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny upstairs.
"Oh, before we go, I have another announcement to make," said Harry as he walked slowly upstairs, "Fred and George sent me an owl a month ago about finding a store, and I just happens to see, that they found a store a month ago, and that we are welcome to go anytime."
"Oh." Said Mrs. Weasley, "well, then we are definitely going to have to get up much earlier than usual if we are going to be able to visit Fred and George's shop."
