Sorry it took so long but I have been busy and was banned from the computer the other day. Anyway with no further ado-

Chapter four- The Best Birthday ever

On the morning of Harry's birthday Ginny opened the door to Harry and Ron's room and tiptoed in. There Harry was sleeping peacefully in the first bed curled up in a ball facing the opposite wall. Ginny walked over to the bed and kissed Harry's cheek. Harry rolled onto his back and Ginny sat on top of his legs. This time she kissed him on the lips. When she let go and pulled back she saw Harry smile with his eyes still closed. He wrapped his arms around Ginny and pulled her to his side. They laid there silent, holding each other for awhile before Harry spoke.

"I wish I could just stay like this all day, that would be the best birthday ever." Harry whispered in her ear so Ron would wake up.

"Well, I don't think my mum would like that too much. She's planning on giving you the biggest and best party the likes of which the whole world has never seen before. Almost all the remaining Order members are going to be here, all the professors excluding a few no one will miss and all of our friends." Ginny jumped up rather excited.

Harry grew excited too. He was planning on proposing tonight and he was glad he would have the chance to do it in front of everyone who had ever mattered in his life.

Ginny bounded out of the room muttering about party stuff and left Harry to wake Ron and get dressed.

When Ron and Harry went down into the kitchen Mrs. Weasley laid a plate of bagels on the table with a dish of cream cheese.

"Sorry boys. This is all for breakfast today. I have to get started with the stuff for the party tonight. There will be more food then you can eat tonight, not to worry." Mrs. Weasley shooed them up to the drawing room to eat with Ginny and Hermione.

"Wow. Your mum really is going overboard with this party, isn't she?" Harry sighed and set the plate on the coffee table. He walked to the coach where Ginny was sitting and sat down. Instantly she was leaning against her chest and his fingers were playing in her hair.

"Well, Harry. She is so happy your able to celebrate your 20th birthday. Many didn't think you would be here and now they want to celebrate with you." Hermione reasoned. Ron nodded in agreement.

"I knew you would be." Ginny smiled up at Harry happily.

"Thanks Gin-" Harry was interrupted by a scream from the kitchen.

"DEATH EATERS!" Came Molly's voice.

Harry was the first out of the room closely followed by Ron, Hermione and Ginny.

When Harry got into the kitchen with his wand raised he stopped suddenly at what he saw. (A/N: It would be funny if I stopped here and made you wait to see what Harry saw but I know the feeling and I wouldn't do that to you.)

Ron ran into his back and got up stunned as well.(A/N: not stunned by a spell but by shock.)

Hermione and Ginny stopped before they ran into the boys but they were staring too. All four were standing with their wands raised at the people in front of them. If a picture had been taken it would have looked like a posed poster shot.

"Potter! Weasley! Weasley! Granger! Lower you wands right now! Though I must admit that is a nice poster shot of our 'Awesome Foursome' as your called." Minerva McGonagall laughed slightly annoyed.

She was standing in the kitchen with Molly. There were four other people in the room that had caused all the stares.

The end.

(Just joking!)

"The 'Awesome Foursome'?" A tall man with long white hair and beard, bright blue eyes and half-moon glasses asked looking at the foursome.

"Yes Albus, the 'awesome foursome' because they defeated Voldemort. But no more questions about that right now. Harry I'm sure you remember Professor Dumbledore and Sirius Black but I would like you to meet your parents." McGonagall had tears in her eyes.

"But their all dead. How do I know you all aren't Death Eaters just trying to get revenge on us for killing Voldemort?" Harry asked only lowering his wand a little.

"Harry, we are all willing to be given the Veritaserum potion. Molly do you have any?" Dumbledore asked patiently.

After they had all been confirmed to be who they claimed they were Harry finally lowered his wand and looked at them. He gave Dumbledore a hug tears in his eyes, then Sirius and finally his' parents.

"Does Remus know?" Harry asked.

"I'll let him know." Molly went to the fire and talked to Remus who flooed into the kitchen within seconds of hearing.

"Albus, Sirius, Lily, J-James." Remus hugged them all crying as well.

"How?" Harry asked.

"Let's sit down, Harry." Dumbledore smiled annoyingly patient again.

"No offense Professor but you know very well that I am not a very patient kind of person." Harry stated

"Very well, Harry, sit down." Dumbledore chuckled.

"Sir, I would like the other three to stay they are my closest friends." Harry demanded more than asked.

"And one more than just a close friend." Ron muttered loud enough for everyone to hear. Hermione and Ginny giggled as Harry blushed. Ginny wrapped her arms around his waist and kissed his cheek. James and Sirius shot each other knowing glances.

"Very well sit down everyone." Dumbledore sat in a chair at the kitchen table followed by the foursome, James, Lily, Sirius, Remus, Minerva and Molly. "Well you see Harry there is an ancient wizard magic that brought us back. When a person kills a person that killed innocent people, the people who are close to the final killer are given their life back. For example Voldemort killed your parents, you killed Voldemort which was good not evil so your parents were given their life back. During the Final battle Remus killed Bellatrix Lestrange and since Sirius was so close to him he was given his life back. Finally Hagrid killed Snape which gave me my life back. Quite simple really." Dumbledore explained.

"What about Neville's parents, Remus was friends with them?" Hermione asked hopefully.

"I'm sorry Miss Granger but Neville Longbottom's parents are technically still alive." Dumbledore frowned.

"Oh."

"Harry we want to know everything about your life. Besides the fact that you lived with my evil sister." Lily said softly.

"Alright. Well I met Ron and Hermione on the train to Hogwarts. Ron and I became fast friends but it took until Halloween for Hermione and us to become friends." Harry began, he was getting ready to talk about that night when McGonagall interrupted.

"Aren't you going to tell your father about your record breaking appointment Mr. Potter?" She winked and Harry smiled understanding.

"Oh. Yeah. I made Gryffindor seeker." Harry said calmly.

"In first year! That beat me! That's my boy!" James jumped up and did a song and dance with Sirius.

Lily just shook her head and smiled.

"Anyways. Ron, Hermione and I found out that the Sorcerer's Stone was being hidden at Hogwarts from Hagrid. We thought Snape-"

"Harry." Dumbledore sighed.

"Oh sorry Professor. That Bloody- Filthy- Rotten- No Good- Damn Traitor whose name is Snape." James, Sirius, Remus, Ron and Ginny laughed while Mrs. Weasley and Hermione pursed their lips.

"Fine. Snape's fine, Harry." Dumbledore frowned.

"Anyway, we thought Snape was trying to get the stone so we went down and it ended up being Quirrel with Voldemort attached to him. I saved the stone and Dumbledore saved me. Then in second year..." Harry stopped and gave Ginny an apprehensive look.

"Go ahead Harry." Ginny smiled weakly and put her face in his chest. Harry wrapped his arm around her and rubbed her back.

"In second year I realized I was parseltonque." Harry said.

Lily gasped and James eyes went wide.

"The Chamber of Secrets was opened again and a part of Voldemort's soul was in his diary which he used to posses Ginny. Ginny was put in the Chamber and Ron and I went and saved her." Harry said quietly giving everyone a look telling them not to ask questions until a certain someone wasn't there. Everyone understood. A single sob came from Ginny and Harry scooped her up and placed her on his lap. He rocked her and whispered words of comfort for a few minutes. No one interrupted them. Finally Ginny stopped crying and tried to smile. Harry kept her on his lap.

"In third year Remus was my Defense against the Dark Arts teacher. He taught me how to make a patronus." Harry smiled appreciatively at Lupin.

"You can do a patronus?" James asked shocked.

"Yup."

"What is it?" James asked as everyone in the room but Harry's parents shared smiles and looks at each other.

"Umm... a stag." Harry said.

"A stag!" James exclaimed and got up and ruffled his son's hair.

"Yeah and at the end of the year Sirius as Padfoot dragged Ron into the Shrieking Shack and Lupin followed us. I thought Sirius was going to kill me but then they explained and I let Peter off." Harry said quickly with his eyes shut tight. He wasn't disappointed.

"Why would you think Sirius would kill you?" James yelled.

"I didn't know. I spent a whole year with me and everyone in the wizarding world thinking he was the one who betrayed you. Little did we know. Ever wonder why I went to the Dursley's? Because Peter tricked everyone into thinking Sirius betrayed you and got him sent to Askaban." Harry said getting quiet.

"But that's okay because the little guy here believed me in the end. Continue with your story. Wait, oh yeah I escaped from Askaban as you can tell." Sirius laughed. Lily and James were shocked.

"So in Fourth year Voldemort entered me as the fourth champion in the Triwizard Tournament. When Cedric Diggory and I touched the cup together at the end of the third task we were transported to a graveyard where Voldemort used my blood to get his body back. Then everyone but a few people thought I was crazy and that Voldemort wasn't alive. In Fifth year Voldemort was getting into my mind and me his. He got into my mind and tricked me into believing that he had kidnaped Sirius and was trying to get the prophecy at the Department of Mysteries. So Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Neville, Luna and I went to save him where the Death Eaters were waiting. We fought and the Order came with Sirius. Bellatrix killed Sirius. Then in sixth year Dumbledore taught me about the Horcruxes, which is another story. Then when Dumbledore and I went on a mission Death Eaters attacked and Snape killed Dumbledore. Then..." Harry was interrupted by Ginny.

"Harry your forgetting the most important part. Can I tell this part?" Ginny asked smiling.

"Go ahead, Hun."

"Well I had had a crush on Harry since before I came to Hogwarts. Then even more when he saved me. In his sixth year or my fifth year Harry was Quidditch captain." Ginny stopped here.

"That's my boy!" James cried out.

"Anyway I was chaser on the team. Harry had to be an idiot and do this weird spell on Malfoy and landed himself in detention every Saturday until the end of year."

"That's my Boy! Except not being able to play Quidditch, that stinks." James said again and Lily just shook her head smiling.

"So I played Seeker and it ended up we didn't need Harry because we won anyway." Ginny said smiling.

"Hey."

"Just teasing, sweetheart." Ginny laughed. "Right so Harry came into the common room and I ran and hugged him and he kissed me right there in front of fifty people. So we went out and were the hot couple until Dumbledore's funeral. This is weird." Ginny laughed again.

"What happened at Dumbledore's funeral?" Lily asked.

"He dumped me! Trying to be the bloody noble 'Boy-who-lived.' He said everyone that he got close to died, you, Sirius and Dumbledore. Well that didn't last long and we've been going out for three years." Ginny smiled and gave Harry a quick kiss that he returned.

"What about seventh year?" Lily asked.

"Um... I didn't go to seventh year. I left to fight Voldemort." Harry said in almost a whisper.

"Oh."

"And you did it Harry?" Dumbledore asked smiling.

"Yup. We got all of the Horcruxes and then I killed him. That's why we're called the 'awesome foursome'." Harry smiled.

"Well done. I knew you could do it." Dumbledore replied.

"And you all came back on the right day. Today if you have forgotten do to recent events is Harry's 20th birthday. And we're going to have the biggest party you've ever seen." Mrs. Weasley said brightly.
