Birthday Fun
Harry Potter woken by Dobby jumping up and down on his bed, Dobby said, "did I wake you Harry Potter sir". Harry said "that what happens when you jump on some one bed. "I am very sorry sir I did not mean to make Harry Potter mad" said Dobby. Harry said, "I not mad at you, but may I ask you why you are here Dobby." Dobby said "Yes you may today is master Harry's birthday. I here to give you master Harry a gift."
Dobby handed Harry a small raped gift. Harry open the gift to find a hat just like the ones that Hermione made last year, except this one had more wild colors then hers. Harry said "Thank you Dobby I really like it. You must have put a lot of work in to the making of this hat." Dobby said "I glad you liked it Sir. You are supposed to eat in the Great Hall today." Ok Dobby I will see you later said Harry. With that Dobby was gone with a snap of his fingers.
After a nice bath, Harry put on his red robes then Harry headed down to Great Hall. Once in the Great hall Harry sat down next to Ron and Herminie. Hagrid said "Happy Birthday Harry" Hagrid handed Harry an envelop and sat back down. McGonagall gave Harry a small wrapped book and Dumbledore gave Harry a long wooden box that had the Hogwarts crest on the top. Harry first opened Hagrid letter and read.
Dear Harry
Happy 16th Birthday Harry Your gift is in the Forbidden Forest, please come to my hut after term starts. I think you will love it. I am sorry you have to wait so long for it. However, it will be worth it.
See you soon Hagrid
P.S. I should tell you not to go in the forest to look for it. Dumbledore would have my head if you did that.
Harry was wondering what Hagrid had in the forest as a gift. Harry did not what to think of the type of pet Hagrid was going to try and give Harry. Harry opened Professor McGonagall gift. Harry opened the book to see pages of hand written music. McGonagall said, "Harry your mother love to play music on the piano. This book here has all her songs she ever written. Your mother had a great gift with music." Harry could not believe he was finally holding a book written by his mother.
Harry opened the book and looked at the notice. As Harry started to read the notice, He herd the song. He looked around to see if the other could hear the book. Everyone seems to be talk to one anther. Harry started to read again he could hear the notice again. Harry decided he would ask Hermione about it latter. He said "thank you" to McGonagall "This is one of the best gifts ever I never had something of my mothers before." McGonagall smile and said, "I am glad you liked it".
Harry then whet for the wooden box. He undid the latch and opened the box. Inside was Godric Gryffindor sword with an sheathe. Harry could not believe Dumbledore gave Harry this very rear sword of one of the founders. Dumbledore said "I talk more about it later. The Great Hall doors open again and Tonks, Mad eye and, Moony where walking to Harry with a gift in hand.
Tonks was the first out of the group to hand Harry a gift. Harry ripped off the wrapping paper. Harry found it to be called so you what to learn to be a Metamorphmagus or develop natural talent. Thanks said Harry "maybe I can learn to hide this damn scar. Every one gave a small laugh. Mad Eye hand Harry a good size box. Harry open the box to find a assortment of odd things.
There where three books "Warding to Begging to most advance theoretical wards, the next books was called Keeping out foes with 1,000 different traps to work with wards, and the last books was called Are you sure you are safe-check list. Mad Eye said "That kit I put together will help you securer any location form the bloody Death Eaters. Also I am more then willing to inspect your work when you are done. Harry said "Thank you this all is to much thank you all.
Remus handed Harry a tick looking journal He said "this book has every prank, skills and what not we ever did as teens. Mrs. Weasley would not let me or Sirius give it to you last year because it had a complete how to guild on becoming Animagus. But know that you are getting lesson she said not to get in trouble and please do not let the twins see the books.
Everyone but Snape laugh about what Remus just said. Harry was so Happy but sad that Sirius was not here. He had finally learned something new about his mother. Ron gave Harry a bag full of sweats. Hermione gave Harry an auto note taking quill. Mrs. Weasley sent some brownies. After presents, Dumbledore said "you three get the day off and I think Remus said he taking you three down to Hogsmead after Harry put his presents away. Harry flicked his wand and his gift vanished.
Tonks asked "what happen to your things." Harry said I vanished them to my room." Tonks was impressed to say the less. Dumbledore said "Harry I what you to conjure up three rings and make them into a Portkey just in case of an emergency. Have them set to bring you to the Entrance Hall. Harry did as he was asked and made the trigger "Portkey me". Harry gave a ring to Ron and Hermione and put one on his own finger. Mad Eye said "good you never know when a Death Eater might ambush you. Now you have a getaway." he mused. Remus said "it time to go now".
The trio had a fun day in Hogsmead that day. Dumbledore had a cake made which was brought up to Harry after a very filling dinner. Harry blew out the sixteen candles. After cake Harry was tired and went to his room where he put a way all his gift that he received. Harry found a note which read.
Dear Harry
Harry starting this term you will have to wear Apprentice robes. Wearing a sword with apprentice robes is a very old tradition. So you should start getting used to wearing the sword. Tonks will be giving you lessons with the sword on the weekends. I am sorry for having to add extra lessons.
Also I should tell you to look out for a room that you can teach your class in. There should be area where you can do theory and space to be able to duel and have a small library. So keep your eyes pealed. Maybe Hermione and Ron can help you look.
See you in the morning
Albus
P.S. Happy Birthday
Harry went to bed thinking that this was one of the best days I ever had, a birthday party was very nice to have. The next morning Harry woke up and got ready for the day. By the time, Harry finished breakfast Dumbledore walked in. Dumbledore said "Good morning Harry, did you find the note that was with the sword." Harry said "Yes Albus I found it. It said I would get training from Tonks." Dumbledore said, "Yes that right, lets get start with Legilimens. You said you could now tell if someone is lying to you. It time to start training you how to enter someone mind with out the help of the Legilimens Charm. You will need to focus on my eyes. You need to let your mind drift into my mind. This will take some time to learn, but you will get it. Now why don't you give it a try?" Harry locked his eyes with Dumbledore, he could tell Dumbledore defenses where down. Making it an easier to break in, Harry mind started to wonder into Dumbledore mind.
He could tell that Dumbledore was tired, worried, sad and even happy all at the same time. Nevertheless, Harry could not see images of memories. Harry soon left knowing he would not see anything else. Dumbledore said, "I could tell that a weak connection was made but that about it. Did you fell anything from me?" Harry said, "Yes I could tell what emotion you're where feeling but that about it."
Dumbledore said, "That very good you are moving along very well Harry. By the time term starts, you should have Legilimens down. I going to have you try one more time before I let you got to potions class. After Legilimens lessons Harry, whet to meet his two friends then headed down to the dungeon. That morning in potions, the trio had to make a mild truth potion.
Harry and Hermione where able to complete the potions, while Ron on the other hand melted his cauldron to put it lightly Professor Snape was not very happy. After Potions Harry went up to Dumbledore's office, Harry knocked on the door Dumbledore said "Come in Harry", as Harry was about to open the door Harry stop, a feeling came over him.
