A/N: Happy Easter (to everyone who celebrates it)!!! And Happy Patriots' Day if I don't update tomorrow!!! Even though it's only really celebrated it Massachusetts. I don't know if I will add a new chapter tomorrow because it's the day of the Boston Marathon and my cousin lives down the street from where it starts and she wants me to walk down with her. But maybe I will if I get back in time.

But on to other matters. I finally went back and fixed the chapters. Number 2 is no longer called 'The Letter' due to the fact there is no letter in it. It's now 'A Slightly Unusual Day in the Life of'.

And much thanks to PheonixFire: Oh and by the way, my brother was using my screen name and he told me you tried to IM me, but he didn't write down your IM name. Sorry about that; marguerite(): I know. I was never good at all that grammar stuff and my grammar check is broken; JerseyGirl03; Avlyn: I just didn't mention this in the story, but Dumbledore will change the name in the book that list the new Hogwarts students. As for exactly why he changed his identity, there is going to be reference to an incident that involved a Death Eater trying to get 'Harry Potter' later; kittygirl2208; and Lirael: Maybe he will, maybe he won't. You'll just have to wait and see. Plus, the more times people ask what house he'll be in, the more tempted I am to leave the Sorting chapter a cliffy. *evil grin*

And also thanks to the people who wanted to help me with the figuring out what the K-5 thing would be in England. I'm still not sure, but I'm making a new goal to search for it.

CH6: Best Friends Forever

~Harry then left the Headmistress' office that night with very confused thoughts.~

After checking his reflection in a window to make sure his appearance was back to normal, Harry continued on to his dorm, mulling things over in his head. 'I'm a wizard. That's just so cool! And it certainly explains the time I ended up on the school roof trying to get Billy Muller's kite down. I don't even remember climbing up there, even though the playground monitor didn't believe me. I could've done that 'popping' thing like Professor Dumbledore did. I'll have to look that up.' Slowly, his rambles turned darker. 'I guess this explains the dreams, too. I wonder how I survived Voldemort's attack when he's killed so many other people.' Just then, when he reached his dorm, a sudden thought struck him. 'How am I going to tell Manda and Elle this?' Sighing, he opened the door. Manda was waiting there in an armchair near the window. She turned to Harry.

"What did Miss Weston want?", she asked. Harry shook his head.

"There is so much to tell you, but you'll have to wait until tomorrow. I want to tell you and Elle at the same time." Manda shot him a puzzled look, but wisely stayed quiet.

"Alright, we can talk tomorrow after your party." Harry raised an eyebrow. "You know, your birthday?"

"Oh right." "You can be so dense some times, Harr."

"Hey!"

"But that's what we love about you." She ruffled his hair. "Night."

"Goodnight, Manda." And they both went to their rooms.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The party was great. Harry and his friends-basically everyone he new from the orphanage and school-had come. The danced and ate cake. The usual. He got some new clothes, a CD player and CDs from Elle, pictures a pranks they had pulled from Manda, candy, and books. But after the party was when the most interesting things would happen. It was when Harry would tell his two best friends he was a wizard.

And he was extremely anxious. But, nevertheless, he pulled them aside after most of the guests had left to talk.

"Okay, guys", he began as soon as he had got them alone.

"Girls", they interjected.

"Guys, girls, alien life-beings from Mars for all I care*. I've got something really important to tell you."

"No need to bite our heads off", grumbled Manda.

"We're listening", Elle said.

And Harry proceeded to fill them in on exactly what had occurred in Miss Weston's office the previous day. When he finished, they were gawping at him.

After a few minutes of silence, he pointed out, "You look like goldfish." That seemed to snap them out of their reverie.

"Sorry, it's not everyday you find out one of your best friends is a famous magical wizard who defeated a powerful evil guy as a baby" Manda said, sarcastically.

"Are you seriously being serious about this?", Elle asked, still slightly shocked. Harry raised an eyebrow at the awkwardness of the sentence, but brushed it off.

"I'm seriously serious", he replied and added hesitantly "Are you two okay with this?"

"Of course!", they exclaimed togther. "We better be getting tons of um...owls from you, Harry Andrew Potter!", Elle shouted.

"Or should we say, Evan Harry Andrews", interjected Manda. "What's with the owl thing anyway?" Harry shrugged.

"I was so worried you would hate me for this."

"Hate you? Never!"

"Will miss you terribly, but never hate you.", added Elle.

"Best friends forever, no matter what, right?" smiled Manda.

"Right!" The other two agreed and they continued to spend the rest of the day discussing all the pranking possibilities Harry had with magic.
