"I asked you a question before, you didn't answer me. What did you see in those dementors? Your worse fear?" Harry asked. But Dudley just ran into his room. Harry went finished his lunch and put the dishes in the sink and washed them. Harry went upstaires to his room and headed to his deskwhere hefound some letters. He knew instently what they must be as it was Harry's 16th birthday. He walked over to where the letters laid. Hedwig was back on top of his cage. Harry read the front of the envelopes. One from Hermione, Ron and one he didn't recognise. He turned it over and saw a stamped logo on. It was from Fred and George. It was posted from their shop. Harry grinned. He opened it. It read:

Hiya Harry! Happy birthday! When you have time come over to our shop and we'll give you discounts. It was from your help we where here after all...!

From Fred and George.

Harry found some skiving snack boxes from Fred and George in their letter;
the fever ones. Harry then turned to open Hermione's letter and parcel.
Harry opened the parcel first. It was a book. Harry should have seen this
coming. The book title was "How to defend yourself from deatheaters" He
flicked through it and it had, by the looks of it, very complicated spells
with little pictures of wizards attacking deatheaters. Harry then opened
Hermiones letter. It read:

Dear Harry. Happy 16th! I hope you find the book I got you interesting. It's very new asafter everyone knows about Voldermort and his deatheaters escaping.I was lucky to get the book really-it was the last one on the shelf!
I did enjoyed the bookand for the first time in Ron's life he actually found a book
interesting. He wanted to start practicing. But I told him he was too
young to do magic outside Hogwarts!Anyway you could useit for the DA. Love Hermione.

PS Ron mentioned something about inviting you over.

Harry put down the letter, the DA? He thought, but I thought that was over.

Harry moved on and opened Ron's letter, it read:

Happy Birthday Harry! I got you some cakes, there extra bigger thanhow mum usually makes them. I also found a weird globy thing that was in my robe pocket. I heard I went all strange and weird in the Department of Mysteries. So I guess I must have picked it up there. I hope you find some use from it. You can come over for the rest of the holidays. Reply and we will pick you up. Fudge is letting dad borrow things a bit more now, so maybe we will pick you up in a car. From Ron.

Harry finished reading. And took a look at the globe thing Ron was talking about. It was a bit bigger than a prophecy. Harry remembered about what the prophecy held for his future. He hadn't told Ron or Hermione yet. Harry sighed. Harry took a piece of parchment out and replied to Ron 'Thanks and he would love to come over.'

Harry tied his message to Ron on Hedwig's leg. She flew out of the window into the distance. Harry ate three of Ron's cakes as he was peckish and didn't feel like going downstairs for dinner. He quickly remembered his Fish Reviver homework for Potions. Harry got out his things, sat at his desk and started to write.

It took 50 minutes to do, as Harry knew basically what to write. He read through his work and thought that Snape had nothing to complain about. Harry looked down at his watch, it was 8pm. Harry thought about the prophecy again. When would it be till the battle of just him and Voldermort, a battle till the last man standing. Harry didn't want to think about anymore. He tried to think of nothing as he went to lie on his bed, staring at the ceiling.
