Chapter 1
The wonderings of thought!
Privet Drive was usually sunny full of flowers, and had perfectly grown grass but for the whole summer it had been raining. They usually perfect flowerbeds were now full of weeds and there perfect lawns were about a foot high with over large mud piles in the middle of them. The dark cast iron gutter drain was over flowing so that the street was a miniature stream. If you even stepped outside for even the briefest moments you would find yourself soaked to your skin within a 2 seconds. No one dared to venture outside. Except one person. The one person who would go outside was a boy with jet black hair slightly ruffled, bright green eyes with round circle glasses around them. A boy named Harry Potter. Only Harry never got wet even though it was nonstop rain when he went outside. Because Harry could do whatever he wanted now that he was 17and of age. Whether it was keeping him dry or making his enemies turn into stone you see because Harry Potter was a wizard. He was sitting out side with a clever charm his best friend Hermione Granger taught him. One to keep him dry from the rain. Harry was sitting outside thinking to himself. He remembered to well. He was hiding under his invisibility cloak. Malfoy surrounded by death eaters and then… SnapeHarry thought. Snape had come up and Harry watched as Dumbledore pleaded for his life, watched how Snape had used an the exact curse that had killed his parents on Dumbledore and watched how he collapsed to the ground life completely gone from of him. He remembered how he watched as his potions teacher of five years fled with the one responsible for this whole thing. Snape, Harry thought. He would kill him. For killing the one wizard people felt protected by. How had Snape managed to pretend that he had switched sides? For nearly 16 years to. At this moment he was surprised to find that Hedwig was back. " Hello Hedwig" said Harry. Attached to Hedwig were three huge birthday cards along with three marvelous cakes. He ran upstairs to his room before reading them. The first was from Ron. With his messy writing again. His birthday card said.
Dear Harry,
Happy Birthday! We will be picking you up for Bill and Flur's wedding on the 10th of August. The day of it is the 13th. Bring your Dress Robes. Hoping to see you soon!
Ron
Harry read this twice before putting it down. He still had ten more days till Ron picked him up. Harry picked up Hermione's Letter whose was much more neatly written he read it quickly.
Dear Harry,
Happy Birthday! Ron said he would be picking you up on the 10TH. I'm really jealous because I'm not coming until the 13th. Mom and Dad were invited to. Can't wait to catch up.
Love always,
Hermione
P.S I've got a surprise for you!
For once he would be at the Burrow before her, unlike the many years before. He then reread the P.S several times trying to figure out the surprise. Soon after giving up he picked up the scribbled writing for he knew at once was Hagrid's.
Dear Harry, He read.
Happy Birthday! Buckbe… I mean Witherwings, sends his Hello's. I guess I will be seeing you soon as seeing that I am part of you guard. I will also be attending Bill and Flur's wedding! Instructions from the headmistress will be coming soon.
Hagrid
That's when Harry remembered. Professor McGonagall was the new headmistress. That meant that there would be two new teachers. Defense Against The Dark Arts and Transfiguration. Harry picked up the final letter. Tears filled his eyes. He knew this letter was from Ginny. And last term he had told her she couldn't see him for her own safety. And she had understood that. And with that they moved on into there own ways. The first time Harry read this the message never went to the brain. So he read it again.
Dear Harry,
Happy Birthday,
Seeing that we have agreed to move on and I can't lie I have decided to tell you that I have met someone else. His name is Brice Deloculur. He's Flurs cousion. I met him while meeting her family it's just as large as ours. Any ways I will always love you for what you were for me and will treasure it forever.
Love Ginny
By now Harry had tears flowing down his face. Why was it that every girl he dated left him? He thought of Cho, and then Pavartii Patil (A/n I am thinking of the Yule ball.) and then finally Ginny. Did he really expect her to stay even if they couldn't have time together? After leaving her for her own safety. He just didn't understand his bad luck with girls. As he sat crying in the dark when three grey owls swooped in all carrying a bow about the size of a computer monitor. Inside were a note, an empty butter beer bottle, and his invisibility cloak. He had lost it in his efforts to catch Snape. He packed the cloak in his trunk threw away the bottle and snatched the letter.
Dear Harry,
Hagrid will arrive at 11:00 am on the 10th. You will have your trunk packed by the then. You will then grab the butter beer portkey, which will take you to the burrow.
Sincerely,
Professor M. McGonagall. Headmistress of Hogwarts. At this Harry ran and grabbed the bottle from the trashcan and stored it in his trunk. He sat on his bed. And slowly drifted off into a deep sleep.
