Harry Potter woke up nice and warm, not wanting to open his eyes, and at first he didn't register were he was. His first thought that he was still at the Dursley's and moaned as he curled up deeper in to his bedcovers, but then he remembered that Lupin and the twins picked him up a week ago from his relatives which he should have remembered because he was so overjoyed by it…after all, i who wouldn't be

He was disturbed from his thoughts by someone coming in the room laughing very hard at something; he opened his eyes and looked over his bedcover to see Ron leaning on his bed still laughing. Harry raised an eyebrow at his friend as he watched him rolling around in hysterics after he had seem him awake and watching him questioningly, he opened his mouth and wanted to ask 'Err Ron, you okay over there? What are you laughing at?' but only a little a weak sound came out of his mouth, his throat felt better then last night when he woke up from the dream, but he still found it hard to make his voice work since it was still a little constructed from his panic – attack.

Ron stopped laughing to catch his breath and muttered "Morning Harry, you just missed the funniest thing in the world there mate…" before he started to laugh again.

Harry got up from his warm bed and went over to him, then slapped him on the back of the head, he turned away from Ron and went over to his trunk and took out a piece of parchment, feather and some ink and wrote: 'Ron what the hell are you laughing about! Please tell me...' then he handed it over to Ron who was still laughing his head off, he took a while to read what Harry wrote down.

"Ha…oh that was so funny it brought tears to my eyes...I'll have to remember that one." Ron mumbled to himself before turning to the letter and then to Harry who was waiting patiently for him "Harry I can't really tell you..." at that moment Harry got really annoyed at Ron and he must of seen the change because he quickly continued "...Harry, I'm sorry that I can't tell you, it would take to much time…" he suddenly smiled evilly at him "...But I can show you if you want, well even if you didn't want to you would see it anyway.." then he started to laugh again but managed to say "Come on, quick get changed!"

Harry just stared at his friend wondering what was so damn funny, well he might as well go and see what it was. He turned around and quickly got changed in to some day time muggle clothes.

When Harry was finally ready to go down Ron jumped up and ran to the door and signaled for Harry to follow him, Harry quickly ran after him not wanting to miss anything. On the way he was making sure that he didn't trip on anything to wake up that old hag Mrs. Black in her portrait. They sneaked down stairs, Ron stopped and pointed towards to the Kitchen and started to snigger silently and signaled for Harry to go look.

Harry looked at him then nodded and started to walk towards the kitchen, slowly but surly he made his way there. He opened the door just a little and looked inside, it was pitch black, and no one was there, what was so funny? Harry thought as he kept looking for any sign of movement in side the room...

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ Ron's POV¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

Ron watched as Harry reached the door and he started to sneak up behind him, all traces of his laughter gone...it was nearly time...the others will be waiting for him, this plan better work! He thought as he got closer to Harry.

He got up right behind Harry and then he pushed him in to the room and shouted "SURPRISE!"

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ Harry's POV¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

Harry felt Ron push him in the room and then jumped out of his skin when he heard people shout "SURPRISE!" all around him. As the lights turned on, Harry gulped at the sight before him – everyone he knew in the Order and some that he didn't were standing there smiling at him, some waved at him.

There was a loud click and a blinding flash that caught Harry of guard, he turned his head with everyone else to see Tonks with a camera "Got ya Harry!" see shouted across the room sweetly. Harry turned bright red, then everyone started to laugh at him and to everyone's surprise Harry started to laugh slightly too...

The party was one of the happiest memories that Harry would ever have, he would never forget that night and the people who were there won't forget the look of happiness in his face because they hadn't seen it in a long time, not since Sirius's death...

Fred and George were being their normal self's by switching some of the food round with there supplies of Canary Creams and their new supplies of Ton-Tongue Toffee, Moody who seen them switch them just laughed and grabbed the food that wasn't affected, everyone thought that he had finally gone mad.

But Lupin soon found out why the old Auror avoided certain food when he ate a Ton-Tongue Toffee and a Canary Cream at the sometime: he turned in to a Canary with a Tongue that had feathers on it, rolling around on the floor. Tonks who had the camera was taking pictures like mad to catch everyone who transformed; she was finding it a bit hard to take them when the transformed people were running after her trying to get the camera off her.

Molly (Mrs. Wesley) was very angry with the boys, she watched Tonks running away from Lupin in his Canary from, with his huge Tongue dragging across the floor, she smiled as she spotted the camera in Tonks hand and walked over to her calmly, and together they formed a little plan to get those two evil twins, one way or another...

"Hey Harry, Happy Birthday" Lupin whispered in Harry's ear as he turned back to normal and give up on his chase on Tonks for the camera. Harry was smiling broadly as he whispered a weak "Thank you" to his father's old friend.

"I can see that you haven't got you voice back completely yet, don't worry you'll be back to normal soon." Lupin gave him a reassuring smile and little wink in his direction.

"Present Time!" shouted Ron forcefully. Harry turned at Ron's yell and jumped backwards as everyone surrounded him with presents.

"Happy Birthday Harry!" everyone shouted unison.

What a time to lose my voice, I'll sound like an old man thought Harry as he looked around him, everyone smiling down at him. He felt really happy about everyone being there for him and looking out for him but he really wished that Sirius was here to celebrate with him…

"Harry are you okay…?" Lupin asked nervously as a small tear escaped Harry's eye. Everyone was looking at them and started to ask questions when Dumbledore came in though the front door and walked right towards them and the ever quiet Harry.

"Happy Birthday Harry! Is there something wrong...?" Dumbledore questioned as he walked towards him, making his way through the crowd, he stopped in front of Harry and looking directly at him.

Harry looked back at him in the eye and said "...No..." in a weak but satisfied voice "...No...every...everything's...just perfect..." he smiled, his voice was nearly back to normal now and he was surrounded by the ones that care for him and he cares for them in return.

Dumbledore's eyes twinkled with the light as he looked in Harry's eye's "Will what are we waiting for...PARTY!" shouted Dumbledore to the crowd brightly. Everyone burst out laughing at this and the party continued.

"Harry, it's good to hear that you have got your voice back...oh and by the way I have a present for you and one from Fakes as well, but I couldn't carry them incase I broke them...so if you would like to come to my office tomorrow we can talk and you can get some more gift's...is that okay with you?" questioned Dumbledore beaming down at him.

Harry knew that this was going to be about the dream that he had last night. Lupin must have told him as soon as he left him and Ron last night. Harry nodded and smiled as he realized what Dumbledore had said: more presents, so it can't be that bad...he thought to him self.

Dumbledore chuckled "Good, Now that that's sorted I am quite hungry...hmm..." Dumbledore whirled round smiling happily as he walked over to the infected food.

Lupin moved to stop him "Err Albus, I wouldn't eat those if I were you…" he instructed in a pleading tone, remembering his own transformation.

"Ah, but Remus you are not me, you are you…" and ignoring Lupin's further protests he started to eat. He turned into a Canary in a matter of seconds; it had a long white beard trailing down in front of him. Everyone was mesmerized by the sight then burst out laughing as the Weasley Twins stepped forward and started to apologize hysterically; Tonks was taking picture after picture.

Dumbledore turned around eyebrows raised and looked at every one as if they were off their rocker, he shrugged and went back to the food smiling, 'it's about time...they needed a good laugh' he thought to himself as he continued his eating.

The party went on until Ron screamed "PRESENTS!" Mrs. Weasley snapped as she stormed over to him. Harry asked Tonks for her camera, she handed it to him and there was a another blinding flash as Mrs. Weasley slapped Ron on the back of the head and everyone laughed again as Ron suddenly went bright crimson colour as he ran to the corner of the room to hide, everyone laughed even harder, even Dumbledore was laughing hard and that doesn't happen every day.

Harry looked down at the camera in his hands and remembered the picture that Moody had shown him last year of the old Order. It would be better if they had a new picture, so Harry looked up and decided to ask

"Hey...everyone before I start opening the presents...can...can I ask a favor?" shouted Harry eagerly, his voice was nearly back to normal now; but he still had an annoying cough though.

Every one nodded their head as a murmured 'Sure' and 'Yeah' ran though the room.

Lupin asked grinning "What is it Harry?"

"Well...Could we have a group photo...you know..." Harry said awkwardly, was starting to go red, everyone was watching him.

"Sure Harry!" shouted the Weasley twins together as they ran towards him in the middle of the room "Make sure you catch our good side!"

"What good side?" roared Mrs. Weasley as she stood next to them, Tonks at her side.

Everyone laughed at them and then joined them for the photo. Harry placed it on a near by table as they all huddled together for the picture "Okay...everyone ready? Right..." Harry said and quickly ran over to join them, he settled himself next to Lupin who placed a hand on his shoulder. Dumbledore waited as Harry settled in and then waved his arm and the camera took the shot. "Thanks every one...could we do another one please, but this time everyone goes crazy okay" Harry suggested pleasantly, some people moaned jokingly but agreed all the same.

"One three: 1...2...3!" Shouted Tonks and Mrs. Weasley, they suddenly whipped out their wands and pointed them at Fred and George with wicked smiles planted on their faces " i Degauss/i " they shouted.

Everyone watched in transfixed as the twins clothes shrank and turned in to a lovely pink dress which had yellow bubbles with golden flowers in the middle, they also had bright sky blue high heels and sliver jewelry dangling around them to match "Dumbledore i NOW/i " Tonks and Mrs. Weasley shouted as one.

"NOO!" shouted the twins in unison as Dumbledore took that fateful picture.

"Well time for presents I think Ron..." Harry said as Ron came over to him. He was trying to suppress his laughter as the twins dived head first out the room, Ron's ears went red but he smiled weakly.

Ron, Ginny (A/N: she's not really in this story by the way) and the twins had given him a box full of everything from the twins joke shop, Mrs. Weasley and Mr. Weasley had given him some new clothes (A/N: about time to...:¬)..) Hermione had given him a few books about Qudditch, Lupin had given him books about dueling and Defence Against the Dark Arts and told him that there's one about Animagi also but to keep it hidden from certain people (namely Mrs. Wesley). Moody had given him some photos of the old order and his own flask to use.

Every one else didn't know what to get him so they all put their money together to buy the biggest cake ever. It had the words 'Happy Birthday Harry' in the middle where there was a Qudditch pitch that had the candles in the shape of real people flying around playing the game. Harry was so happy that there was no words to explain it, he could feel the happiness in his heart growing, feel it slowly coming to the surface. Slowly releasing the hidden powers within, he felt unstoppable...

As Harry looked at everyone he started to glow, everyone froze and looked at Harry thinking that something bad was happening. Harry was glowing a bright while colour, the feeling pure happiness and no one will take that away thought Harry, No One, not even Voldemort...

Then suddenly the light around Harry exploded, sending multicolored sparks all around the room. Everyone watched the sparks fly around the room as a furious wind whirled around Harry, no one about from Dumbledore heard what Harry said "No one will take this away, i NO ONE/i " he slowly turned and looked at Dumbledore who was smiling broadly down at him, he was so proud of Harry.

Harry looked him in the eye and smiled, the sparks slowly began to disappear, the mysterious wind started to fade as he started to turn back to his normal colour. Harry looked at everyone and smiled even more and said "Guys, thanks. Thanks for everything you have ever done, you don't know how happy it makes me feel inside...so Thanks..." and blacked out...

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ Lupin's POV¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

As the unconscious from of Harry fell forwards, Lupin dived forwards and caught him just before his head hit the floor "Harry are you okay? Harry!" Lupin started to shout uncontrollably.

"Calm yourself Remus, Harry is fine, in fact he is more then fine." Lupin held Harry in his arms as he looked up in Dumbledore's eyes and could see the happiness and the slight amazed gaze that he was giving to Harry. "You see that power that Harry just showed us was the happiness...the happiness that we gave him and he just showed how important that is to him, it means everything to him and that's why he thanked us, because he was truly happy for the first time in a while." said Dumbledore coolly, still smiling down at Harry "Now Lupin if you don't mind I think that it's time Harry goes to bed, and all of you...It's past midnight you know..." he said while surveying the people in the room everyone nodded or said "yes" and walked out the room.

Lupin and Dumbledore carried Harry to his room; they couldn't help but smile down at the boy in front of them because he was smiling happily in his sleep.

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ Harry's POV (dream) ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

Harry was looking at the ground through red eyes; he was wearing a long black cloak, ghostly thin hands at his side and was standing at a way higher point then normal...

"Wormtail it is time...the boy is getting to close to remembering what he hears in his sleep. You must get the boy and soon, very soon...he could ruin all..." Said Harry in a high pitched, cold voice that froze the living things around him.

There was a huge circle figures behind him, wearing the same kind of cloaks as him, they all stood around him with their hoods covering their faces. A trembling figure stepped forward and removed his hood as he reached him –

"Yes my...my Lord..." Wormtail bowed in front of him and then transformed in to a rat and left the Death eater circle.

"Hmm..." Harry wondered a loud "Wormatil will need help Bella, Lucius follow the worm and make sure that he being's me that brat alive!" screamed Harry bitterly, two more people from the circle stepped forward and bowed and then turned to leave, however Harry stopped them "Oh, before I forget. Bring me the rest of his friends; they can come with him too..." Harry turned to face the crowed and instructed them "…In fact ALL OF YOU WILL GO! Go now and bring them to me...ALIVE!"

All of the circle this time stepped forward bowed respectively and then left their master. He watched them leave, giving them all a deadly glare to make sure that they got the job done, watched their horror struck faces disappear into the night.

"Soon Harry...soon..." Harry whispered dangerously to himself, and then cackled triumphantly...

Harry woke up with a sudden jump. He was sweating again, but was glad that his throat didn't feel constructed this time round. He slipped quickly out of bed and looked over to were Ron's bed was and could see that he wasn't there...I wonder were he is? He thought. He got up, grabbed some clean clothes and went to the bathroom to fresh-in up and got changed.

When he was done he went down stairs and walked in to the kitchen "Hello everyone" he said as he walked in.

"Oh Harry dear...are you okay?" Mrs. Wesley questioned concerned as she flung her arms around him, seizing him in a tight embrace.

"Yes Mrs. Wesley I'm fine really..." choked Harry as Mrs. Weasley finally let go of him and lead him to a near by chair and forced him to sit down at the table. Lupin was right next to him and gave him a one hand hug, also ruffling his hair; he then chuckled as Harry tried to correct the mop of mess on his head. Lupin then returned to reading the paper in front of him, but still listening to the conversation taking place around him, often glancing at Harry to keep an eye on him.

"Now are you sure you are okay?" Mrs. Weasley kept asking him every five minutes. Harry just nodded every time she asked, until she was satisfied with him "Thank god for that...you were a sleep for 4 days..."

"Four DAYS! " shrieked Harry wide-eyed in shock. Lupin watched his reaction over the top of his paper.

"Yes dear...now what would you like for lunch?"

"Lunch…? Why what time is it?" Harry asked still in shock.

"1 o'clock dear, what would you like now...?"

"1 o'clock...god...err whatever Mrs. Wesley I don't really mind..." Harry whispered while the realization of his four days sleep sank in, then he remembered about the dream. He couldn't remember what was exactly said but he had a really bad feeling about it; something is going to happen, he just knew it...

Lupin narrowed his eyes as he watched Harry zone out in to his own thoughts, he looked at his eyes and he could see a calculating look mixed with one of deep worry. He continued to watch him as Mrs. Weasley asked him another question.

"Okay then, how does chops and chips sound?" asked Mrs. Wesley instantly interrupting Harry's thoughts, but at that moment Harry's stomach growled loudly "I'll take that as a yes then..." Mrs. Wesley sniggered as she turns on the oven and sets to work with the lunch. Lupin started to laugh behind his newspaper silently and Harry flushed red again embarrassment.

"Mrs. Weasley, where's Ron and the others…shouldn't they be up now?" Harry asked, his cheeks still burning from his stomachs hungry state.

"There out shopping Harry, they wanted to wait for you but they didn't know when you'll wake up so Tonks had to drag them out…with a little help from Fred and George." Lupin answered instead of Mrs. Weasley, she was focusing on the food that she was cooking and didn't hear Harry ask her anything. "I said that I'll stay behind and look after you with Molly here, I'm not that good of a cook you see…"

Harry smiled, thank god for Mrs. Weasley staying behind; he didn't like the idea of tasting Lupin's cooking this early in the morning...err afternoon…

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ Half an hour later...¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

"Here you are boys..." said Mrs. Wesley as she placed the plates full of food on the table in front of them.

"Thanks Mrs. Wesley" said Harry as he snatched the nearest knife and fork and started to 'dig in'.

"Yes, thanks Molly" Lupin placed his newspaper down and began to eat also.

It was time for Mrs. Weasley to blush - BANG! The sound came from them front door, the house shook at the impact, Harry jumped and dropped his knife and fork as he slowly stood up and faced the door, Lupin did the same and gently started to pull out his wand, Mrs. Weasley told out her wand a lot quicker then him and pointed it straight at the door. They all looked at the door of the kitchen, listening for any further noises, but one thing unnerved them all as one: Why wasn't Mrs. Black portrait screaming...

"What was tha-" Harry wondered aloud, speaking very quietly when another loud – CRASH! – filled their ears from behind the door again, dust lifted off the door and shot towards them as it shook with force –

Lupin suddenly grabbed Harry and pushed him towards the wall farthest away from the door while Mrs. Weasley ran towards it, her wand still pointed directly at the door and shouted " Colloportus! "

Then the was a bang at the door as Lupin stepped in front of Harry to help protect him from the unknown danger out side, his wand fully raised. Mrs. Wesley started to slowly back away from the door as it was blown open, flinging her across the room, she hit the table hard and knocked it over, as she fell to the ground Harry could see that she was unconscious with blood running down her face.

"Mrs. Wesley!" screamed Harry as he desperately tried to go help her but Lupin was in front of him, blocking his way to her.

"Harry, stay behind me okay. I'll protect you..." Lupin whispered firmly, Harry nodded numbly but he knew that he could protect himself. He didn't want Lupin to end up like Sirius...

There was a cackle of laughter; Harry looked up to see Death Eaters entering the room, there was no way out, they were both out numbered. Even if Lupin tried to protect him it wouldn't work, there was too many to handle…

"Your both coming with is...Now!" barked one of the Death eaters that had entered first into the room, Harry recognized the person's drawling impatient voice: Lucius Malfoy. The other Death Eater's simply surrounded Harry and Lupin as they backed up in to a wall; their smirk's visible under their black cloaks that they always wore…

He raised his wand as he neared towards them "Impedimenta!" his hood fell back to reveal annoyed expression on his face as Lupin and Harry both ducked out the way as the spell came spiraling towards them.

Harry pulled his hands over his head as he ducked to the left, the spell missed him by inches, some rumble off the wall fell to the floor as he turned to see Lupin to the right of him watching the Death Eaters. Harry quickly thanked his lucky stars that Lupin wasn't hit with the spell before he also glanced back at the surrounding Death Eaters…

Lupin could see Harry was okay to the left of him in the corner of his eye and breathed a sigh of relief as he stared at the danger ahead of him, Lucius was glaring at him with a hidden smile…Lupin didn't like that look at all.

Lucius was ready for their movements as he pointed his wand at Lupin, who's eyes went wide as he sharply turned to Harry shouting "Crucio!"

Harry watched as Lucius turned to him with a smirk on his pale face and shot the curse at him, it flue towards him, the dust from the explosion at the door lifting up off the floor, dashed away in different directions leaving a clear path were the curse had past in it's wake. Harry tried to get up out the way –

Lupin scrambled to his feet as fast as he could and screamed "Harry! Look out!" as he pushed Harry roughly to the floor. The curse hit him instead in the stomach; his knees buckled as he started withering in pain on the floor, he clenched his teeth as he was trying to hold back the pain digging in to him...

The Death eaters roared coldly with laughter at Lupin as he finally give the struggle of not crying out and yelled as loudly as he could, they were enjoying every scream of his pain. Lucius walking swiftly was standing above him in a matter of seconds, his wand still raised making sure that Lupin was still in agony on the floor…

Harry watched horrified at his fathers last i true /i friend cried out in pain at Malfoy's feet, he couldn't just sit there and not help him! "Lupin! No..." He scrambled to his feet and started to head towards Malfoy but someone grabbed him from behind by the arm, Harry tried to pull his arm out of the hold but the person that had grabbed him was too powerful. Harry quickly turned to see that Wormtail had hold of him, he grabbed Harry's other arm, locking him in place as Harry struggled against him.

"Your coming with us Potter, Bella grab the Lycan..." commanded Lucius, Harry watched Bellatrix stepped forward and kneeled next to Lupin who was on his own knees and still under the pain from the curse. Harry fought against Wormtail as he held him in place, there was nothing he could do, Lupin was still under the curse and Wormtail wouldn't let him go, then she pulled out a small book from her pocket and handed it to him

"LUPIN! NO!" but it was too late. They were gone. Wormtail then grabbed Harry by the neck and shoved something in to Harry's hand; He felt the similar jerk behind his naval as the scene dissolved...

"Potter, so good for you to join us...and it's about time to, see we have been waiting, so have your friends..."
