chapter four:

Opening the presents

Harry was taken aback by his freckle-faced friend's words. Ron could be pretty sage when needed.Yeah he should think of happy things he had done with Sirius.

Harry screwed up his eyes tight and thought off the time when Sirius had asked him to live with him, he remebered the swirl of joy in his stomach, but then a pessimistic voice whispered loudly in his ear. Oh stop it, Harry. He's dead, gone.Never coming back.

The boy opened his green eyes and groaned, thinking happy about Sirius was hard when that annoying voice kept screaming.

He decided to open Ron's present. After ripping open the present he found eight glittering cards neatly tied in a buddle, intruged he untied it and was surprised to see eight beaming faces of the Weasely's on the cards!

"Hey Harry!" Ginny's and Ron's chimed in unison.

"Hey Ron-Hey Ginny." Harry greeted them enthusiatically.

A familiar voice shrieked from the cards.

"Look! Harry's grown taller! Haven't you dear?" Mrs. Weasely.

"Yes Molly, we can all see that." Came Mr. Weasely's calm voice from one of the cards.

Bill, Charlie, Fred and George gave there owm customized 'happy birthdays'.

Soon Mr. Weasely told Harry. "I'm sorry Harry, but I have to go to work now. Happy Birthday. Bye now."

"Bye Mr. Weasely, thanks for the present all of you, it's the best you guys have ever given me!" Harry thanked the Weasely's happily.

"Even better than the sweaters mum knits you?" Fred teased good-naturedly.

Harry could only give a weak grin in reply.

"Well. Best be off Bye." Mr. Weasely waved to Harry.

"Oh, wait Mr. Weasely!" Harry hurriedly stopped the red-headed man who was about to leave.

"Yes?"

"How's Fudge doing?" Harry inquired, giving a sheepish grin.

"Oh that man," Mr.Weasely answered, acting as if the minister was a criminal. "He's been awfully quiet, as you probably could guess.No, I don't think he's going to say that Dumbledore is a crackpot fool or you're a boy that wants to be a hero.No,no,no.That's not going to happen in a very,very long time."

Mr. Weasely looked satisfied in a way and so did his family.

"Thanks Mr Weasely for giving me an update. D'you think he'd mind if I decided to give him a visit."

Everyone in the room grinned at his words (well the cards and Harry to be exact).

"Ahhh," Mr. Weasely softly replied. "You must be dying to see the look on his face, since he ruined you're previous year. Well, Harry I'd like to say 'yes', but being a responsible and truthful man I'm saying :give him a year."

"Aww." Harry pretended to be upset.

"Yes, well. Good bye, and no more questions!" With that Mr. Weasely vanished from his picture.

"We'd better be going to." Bill inserted after his father had left, He gestured to Charlie.

"Yeah.Bye harry." Charlie agreed.

"Bye thanks for this awesome gift, visit soon in these cards." Harry replied.

"We will." and the two oldest brothers dissapeared.

"We'd be off to.Well thanks for our-" Fred began, but George and Harry quickly cut him off with a warning look.

With a glance at his mother, Fred awkwardly changed his sentence. "Well, thanks for our souls.We're more mature now."

Ginny gave a snort.

Mrs. Weasely had been knitting a sweater in her card and quickly looked up at the funny kind of snort. "Wh-what happened Ginny?"

"Nothing mum." Ginny answered, her cheeks slightly pink. "Just a lame joke I snorted at."

"Yeah, a really lame one." Ron echoed, looking directly at Fred, who gave an embarrased smile.

George, not ready to get in trouble, quickly inserted. "Well, Me and my twin better get going, before he makes more lame jokes. Right, Fred."

Fred nodded wordlessly. The twins were gone from their cards than.

Soon all the Weasely's dissapeared and Harry was left finally o the fair owl's package, thee fair owl belonged to Hermione evidently after Harry read the letter.

Dear Harry,

Happy Birthday!It's me Hermione.You're uncle and aunt aren't bothering you too much, are they?If they aren't maybe us three can go get supplies. I hope you aren't felling bad Harry, it wasn't you're fault that V- ok I have to get used to this deep sigh. It wasn't you're fault that V-Voldemort lured you. You must really miss Sirius, I do to and truth be told I was a bit harsh about him, wasn't I?

So don't go telling yourself it was you're fault.It wasn't Harry, it really wasn't.

This is a first, I'm not doing homework right now. Why? It's because I finished it the first two days, see, I can actually relax now. Except for one thing, I hope I did ok on the o.w.ls. What about you?

You probably did excellant in the DADA test, that stag was really good.

Well mum and dad are calling me.Hope you like this gift I got you, I bet you'll use it.

Bye!

Love,

Hermione

Harry suddenly remembered about the OWLS he hope he had done well too, since he wanted to be an auror.

Harry opened the package and found color changing quills and ink, including a brand-new book on quiditch.

"Queries and answers to Quidditch". It had animated, excellant colored photographs and sketches.

Just than a small owl came flying in.It was from Hogwarts. Harry's heart skipped a beat.O.W.L.s.

Harry's heart soared, he could be an auror!Harry scribbled a short note back to Hermione about his OWL scores.

There was something to look foreward to after all.

Smiling, He leaned out the window to feel the fresh air on his face. He quickly leaned back as Hedwig came back, happy to have a happy owner.

Harry couldn't wait for Hogwarts.
