Chapter 2 Results and Presents

As soon as Harry finished dinner he dashed up the stairs to look into his mirror. He had gone months without seeing his godfather and suddenly he had seen Sirius in his mirror. He stared at the mirror to no avail. He had not realized that it had been 17 year old Sirius he had seen before, nor that he had to be feeling incredibly emotional, nor that his eyes had glowed to a neon green when he had looked into the mirror before. He also failed to notice his gifts and Results envelope that were laying beside him on his bed.

"NOOOOOO, no, no, no, no!" he yelled with frustration and threw his mirror across the room where it shattered.

"Be quiet up there, Boy!" Uncle Vernon yelled.

"Yes Uncle Vernon" Harry sighed. He finally noticed the 4 packages and the O.W.L envelope.

He opened Ron's first, which contained a large sample of everything in his twin brothers' shop, including the fireworks and Ton Tongue Toffee as well as old favorites that Fred and George had "modified". He was going to have fun for the rest of the summer with Dudley!

Hermione got him a rather large birthday cake and a set of hexes and curses for use on Draco and Voldemort.

Hagrid got him a large tin of treacle fudge along with a self-cleaning owl cage. Harry decided to soften the fudge in the microwave after the Dursley's were asleep before indulging on sweets. He set up the cage immediately, ecstatic that he finally could stop cleaning the cage.

Remus got him an extra invisibility cloak for their nighttime journeys that was technically from Sirius as the original was a bit small for three 16 year olds.

"I cleaned up really well," he thought. "These gifts are awesome, I'll give Dudley a Canary Cream tomorrow."

He then reached toward his OWL results. "Oh shit, please let me pass, please let me pass." he thought nervously. He opened it up and read:

Dear Mr. H. Potter,

"Wow, I did a hell of a lot better than I thought I would. Hermione probably got all Os, but Ron and I probably got the same scores." he thought as he reread his letter. After the afternoon from hell, I had a terrific evening, what with the gifts and results.

He was so happy that his eyes glowed neon again. This time he felt it. "Oh my God!!! What just happened. My eyes felt like they were on FIRE!!!!" he thought.
