Chapter 3

DISCLAIMER: I OF COURSE DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS.

It was only for a couple of minutes he had to wait. At exactly 10, Ron, Fred and George appeared in Harry's room, causing him to nearly fell off the bed.

They all grinned at him and Ron said,

"Dumbledore let us use magic."

They all grinned at him and Harry grinned back.

They mounted their brooms.Fred used an invisibility spell on Harry and George shrunk his trunk and they all soared out of the window to The Burrow.

Harry reached the Burrow at 11:00am and went inside with Ron, as Fred and George put all of their brooms into the broomshed.

He entered the kitchen and was amazed to see a large crowd of familiar faces smiling at him.

As soon as he entered the room they all shouted HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARRY and Fred and George (who had apparated into the kitchen) let off some magical fireworks.

When they fireworks finished. They all pusehed Harry into achair and bombarded him with presents. He had completely forgotten that it was his birthday!

He received a jumper and lots of home boiled sweets from Mr and Mrs Weasley.

A collection of foreign wizard money from Bill.

A chain with a dragon fang from Charlie.

A big box full of different type of sweets from Ron.

A free supply of products from Fred and George.

A very interesting book on different jinxes and spells from Hermione (you would have never guessed!lol A/N)

A very beautiful watch from Hagrid.

Hagrid explained that it had been his father's watch, but as it obviously didn't fit him, he decided to give it to Harry.

Harry was absolutely amazed and did not accept at first but Hagrid insisted, so he took it and immediately placed it on his wrist.

When everybody was sitting, eating and talking merrily, Dumbledore suddenly apparated into the room. He greeted them all and took Harry to one side.

"Harry," he said his eyes twinkling over his half moon glasses, "I am giving you this present."He handed Harry a small neatly wrapped present and said,

"Please do not open it until you are in your room.your close friends can see it."

Harry nodded seriously and put it into his pocket.

Then Dumbledore smiled and said,

"I also have a surprise for you."

And Sirius walked into the room.

Harry didin't move for a second then he walked up to Sirius and gave him a hug.

"It's so good to see you again Siruis."

"It's great to see you too Harry" Sirius replied grinning.

"Hey I've got your presents. Here"

"oh," replied Harry."Thankyou."

Sirius handed him two untidely wrapped presents.Harry quickly opened the first one and saw that it was a tatty old book.Sirius quickly said,

"This was me and dad's old diary! By the way the password is: The Marauders rule!"

Harry laughed and put it to a side.He then opened the next present and laughed at the title.

It was a small blue book that said, "1000 ways to make a prank" by Moony,Padfoot,Prongs and Wormtail.

Sirius grinned and said,

"It's a very useful book.Believe me.!"
Then Remus came up to them and greeted Sirius with a hug. Then Siruis went off to get some food and Lupin was left with Harry.

"Here Harry," said Remus,"here's my present for you."

"I don't know if you know, but your mother used to have a best friend called Maria. They had a diary in which they wrote in together. Lily and Maria put a charm on it so only if you were there son or daughter you would be able to open it!!"

Harry opened the wrapping and saw A dark red book. He saw his mothers and her friends name on it:

Lily Evans and Maria Plaja, best friends forever!!

Harry didn't know what to say, he looked up at Lupin who said,

"You don't need to say anything."

And with that he walked off to get some food.
