Chapter 4

Disclaimer: These incredible characters of course do not belong to me...cries hysterically

The mystery girl and Hip, Hip Harry!

Harry was talking to Ron, when suddenly Hermione came up to them, accompanied by a tall, dark haired girl.

Hermione introduced Harry to her,

"Harry this is Beatriz. She's staying with us here and is gonna come with us to Hogwarts."

Harry looked up at the girl and felt his mouth fall open.

In front of him was the prettiest girl he had ever seen. She was tall and slim, with black wavy hair cascading past her shoulders. Her eyes were a beautiful oval shape, with extremely long eyelashes. Her eyes were a brilliant dark green, a bit darker then his own green eyes.

She smiled at him and he stood up quickly to shake her hand.(A bit too quickly as Ron noticed and smirked), but instead of shaking hands with him she gave him 2 kisses on the cheek. And said,

"Happy Birthday, Harry. I couldn't buy you a present but I hope we can become good friends?"

He nodded and she smiled at him once more and walked away with Hermione.

Harry amazed sat back down and looked at Ron. Who said,

"You were about start dribbling, mate," he said grinning, "I wonder why?"

"Oh shut up Ron, as if I don't see you and Hermione blush every single time you LOOK at each other!"

Ron's ears went red and he quickly muttered something about getting some food and quickly went off.

Harry grinned to himself, stood up and started talking to Sirius.

The party finished at 3 o clock in the morning and the funny thing was that Bill, Charlie, the twins, Mr. Weasley ,Sirius (and to Harry's amazement) Remus, were all drunk!!

Ron, Hermione, Beatriz, Ginny and Harry went up the stairs in hysterics, Harry could hear Mrs. Weasley screaming at them,

"A FINE EXAMPLE TO SET TO THE CHILDREN – "

While they all sang (incredibly out of tune),

"HA – hic – PPY BIIIRTHDAY TO YOUUU-"

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

Mrs Weasley had used The 'Petrificus totalus' on each one of them.

They all (now roaring with laughter) went up to their rooms.

Harry and Ron got to Ron's room; Ron went to the toilet to get changed.

Harry saw the small package that Dumbledore had given to him on his bed. Harry was now so used to magic that he wasn't even surprised. He quickly opened it.

Inside was a ring. He opened the note that was attached to it and began to read.

"Dear Harry,
Firstly, I'd just like to wish you a Happy Birthday! Secondly, the watch that you are now holding in your hand belonged to your father, your mother Lily gave it to him before they married. When you were born, he gave it to me to keep, so if anything happened to them, I would give it to you when you were older and ready to receive. I believe that now you are 15 you are ready to have it.
With regards,
Albus Dumbledore

P.s: Look at the inside of the ring, you will see an inscription form your mother Lily, to your father James."

Harry finished the letter and looked at the inside of the ring, sure enough there was an inscription it said,

"James, I will love you forever, Lily"

Harry quickly wiped a tear from his face as Ron came into the room. He quickly put the watch into his trunk, deciding to tell Ron about it later.

They both quickly got changed into their pyjamas and Ron asked Harry,

"So what did you think of the surprise birthday party we have given you?" pretending to be a reporter.

Harry laughed and said,

"This had been the best birthday I could have ever wished for!! First Sirius is cleared, then I have a great party, Sirius comes, I get my mum and dad's old diary, Hagrid gives me his dad's old watch. I meet Beatriz, who gives me two kisses on the cheek..."

Ron gave a snort of laughter and said,

"Harry you are head over heels for that girl!"

"Yeah well what about you and Hermione eh?"

Ron blushed and said,

"Do you really think she likes me Harry?"

"Well of course she does. It's so obvious, even when you catch each others eye you both blush."

Ron grinned and said,

"Is it THAT obvious?"

When Harry nodded, Ron buried his head in his pillow and said,

"The embarrassment, oh, the embarrassment!"

Harry laughed and said,

"So when are you gonna tell her?"

"Tell her what?" Ron answered stupidly.

"That your gay, you idiot, what do you think? You've gotta tell her your feelings about her, maybe how you like her so much you get jealous every single time she looks at a guy?" said Harry sarcastically.

Ron looked terrified,

"Harry, I can never tell her! What if she rejects me?"

Harry sighed exasperatedly and said,

"Oh stop being such a prat! She. Fancies. You! It's the most obvious thing in the world!"

"Ok, ok! I'll think about it tomorrow. Now let's just sleep ok?"Said Ron.

"ok." Replied Harry. And he switched off the light and flopped onto his bed.

Then somewhere in the darkness Ron said,

"So you really think she likes me?"

Harry just groaned and threw his pillow at Ron.

So what do you think?? Please review!!
