Like every morning Harry woke up in his bed. But this morning was a special one. Harry had his 18th birthday. He had finished his seven years in Hogwarts somehow good and somehow bad. But it wasn´t easy. Usually he came from one adventure to the next. But his best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger were always there for him. Today on his birthday he wanted to leave the Dursleys and move ot Ron. Ron´s family wanted to pick him up this afternoon. He was very happy that he could leave aunt Petunia, uncle Vernon and Dudley forever to see them never again. Harry had packed most of his things and waited for the afternoon to come. He didn´t look only forward to his new home but to his love and second best friend Hermione. She said that she would come to Ron, too.
He had lain there in his bed for a while until he got up and dressed. He wanted to go to the kitchen and make breakfast as Hedwig wanted his attention. So Harry walked over to her, fed her and took care of her a bit. Suddenly he noticed a letter and a small packet on Hedwig´s leg. He had nearly looked inside of it as uncle Vernon and aunt Petunia called out from downstairs: "Make this stupid bird quit and breakfast ready!"
So his mail had to wait. Harry went downstairs and began making breakfast for his relatives. The Dursleys knew that he had his birthday today but they treated him like a slave though- as usual. After the Dursleys had eaten he finally went back into his room and looked at his mail. After he had climbed the stairs and opened the door he saw that three owls sat on the windowsill. Hedwig made loud noises in his cage because he wanted to get near his kind. So he took letter and packets away from the legs of the owls and let them go to Hedwig. Harry opened his presents and noticed that they came from Hagrid, Dumbledore and Sirius Black. He was very happy about the presents and wanted to write letters back to these persons when he is by Ron.
