Chappie Ten
"What are you doing?" Serenity said, watching as Remus closed another envelope.
"Telling every one who is one the list to come to the Burrow," Remus said, distractedly, "To tell them about where Harry and that are."
"Okay," Serenity said, "What about I just go and get every one and tell them to come?"
"That could work," Remus said as the vampire disappeared.
------
Remus sat nervously in front of a large group of people. The entire Weasley clan except for Ron sat crowded around one couch. Fleur had seated herself in Bill's lap, as a ten year old Enlil sat on the ground in front of Charlie.
Minerva McGonagall, Hermione's parents, Mad-eye, Luna, Neville and Dobby the house elf sat on another couch also restricted in movement.
In last couch, Tonks and her mother, Blaise and his mother sat.
"Now we are just waiting for Mrs Malfoy and Draco," Remus muttered to Serenity.
"Tonks, when are they coming?" Serenity asked.
"When Aunt Cissa convinces Draco," Tonks smirked. There was a thud and Draco Malfoy fell out of the fire place, he stood up as his mother walked out. "Here they are."
"Good we can start," Serenity said, "Alright all vampires we need to go out. Harry didn't include on the list because we are fine at my place."
"Alright," Halle said standing up; she gave Blaise a look just as Draco sat beside him.
"Relax, woman! I'm not going any were," Blaise sighed.
"You better not," Halle said. "Let's go."
Serenity, Octavian, Livia and Halle disappeared without a trace. Remus cleared his throat.
"Okay I'm not sure if Serenity told you all what is happening,"
"She has," Mad-eye said, glaring at Draco, "But what the hell is the ferret doing here?"
"I'm not a ferret!" Draco snapped, as Blaise roared with laughter. Narcissa stared at Blaise who was now rolling on the ground.
"That was so funny! I don't believe I forgot about that!" Blaise said between laughter. Draco sneered at him.
"How did you know he was changed to a ferret?" Fred asked Mad-eye remembering he was an impostor.
"McGonagall told me," Mad-eye said.
"Any way," Remus said, his face twitching as though he was trying not to laugh, "Harry wants me to tell you where he will be."
"Fidelus Charm?" Narcissa asked. Remus nodded."Why would he want us to know?"
"You'll have to ask him," Remus smiled. "Any way, you are all the people who Harry wants to be told."
"Get on with it," Mad-eye said.
"Alright," Remus smiled, "He is at Godric's Hollow."
"What?" Narcissa asked. "Why on earth would he go there?"
"What the hell is Godric's Hollow?" Blaise asked.
"Wales, your mother knows were it is," Remus said, "Just apparate if you can and knock on the door with the green fence, you will be able to see it. People such as Voldemort won't be able to."
"Wait, what about my mum and the other vampires?" Blaise asked, as most of the people flinched at the mention of the dark lord.
"They will all be at Serenity's," Remus said, "Plus, she or the other vampires do not need protection against Voldemort."
"Can you not say his name?" Draco snapped. More then half of the population in the room nodded and agreed.
"No," Remus said, firmly, "I wont, I refuse to be scared of a name."
"I'm with Loony," Blaise said, staring at Draco, he then said in a sing-song voice, "Voldemort! Voldemort! Voldemort!"
"Blaise," Remus said, "Enough."
"Yeah, yeah," Blaise smirked, as Draco sneered at him.
-------------
Deep in thought, Draco sat down on his bed; he wondered why Harry Potter his arch-rival would want to help him in any way after what happened. What if he was just trying to snake his way closer to Draco, just to kill him? After all, Draco had tried his hardest to make Potter's life hell ever since they met at Hogwarts as First- Years. All because Harry was friends with a Weasley and a Mud-blood. He wondered if he was sorted in any other house other then Slytherin, would he have been friends with the Golden Trio. He had wondered why Blaise Zabini was there, but the more he thought of it the more he realised Zabini was nothing like the other Slytherins. Sure he had the qualities of a Slytherin such as cunningness, resourceful, and determination.
But he was never really bothered about not being a pure-blood. His mother use to be a pureblood before she was bitten. Blaise didn't know who his father may have been. To Draco that said quite a lot about his mother. Draco sniggered remembering once when Markus Flint was stupid enough to call Blaise's mother a whore in front of Blaise. Flint was lucky that he was in the common room as Blaise immediately pulled out his wand and cast jinx after jinx, hex after hex. It took at least ten of them to drag Blaise away from Flint, who in the end looked like a mushroom with wings and a beak.
Draco sighed, how was he going to ask Potter why he put him on his stupid list? Draco stood up and with a look of determination he walked out of his room and out of his cousin's apartment.
-------
Miles away, Harry, Ron and Hermione unpacked their trunks and placed their belongings in their separate rooms. There were six empty rooms inside the house, three were know taken for the trio. Harry had taken his old room. There was no baby cot but instead a large four-post bed. But Harry felt that this was were he slept before Voldemort showed up. He felt such a huge sense of belonging in the house. He quickly stacked all his books in the shelves and walked out of the room deciding to snoop around in his home.
"Harry we have a visitor!" Ron called. Harry sighed, guess the snooping can wait.
Harry ran down the stairs and grinned when he saw his old head of house, Minerva McGonagoll. She had a small trunk beside her.
"Hi Proffesor," Harry beamed. "How are you?"
"I'm fine," Minerva smiled. "How are you, Potter?"
"Harry," Harry smiled, "I'm good. I'm guessing you're here to talk us into coming back to the school?"
"Yes and some thing else," Minerva said, "I understand you have a lot on your mind, but perhaps you can come to some of your classes, such as Defence against the Dark Arts. Albus would have wanted you all to continue your education."
"I know," Harry said, "I don't know though, I need all the time in the world to destroy Voldemort, but I think that the classes maybe be useful."
"Maybe we can come in once a week," Hermione said. "On the day when most of the classes we need are on."
"Yeah," Ron said, "But no homework."
"Oh, shut up Ron," Hermione snapped.
"What day will have most lessons?" Harry asked quickly before the two could begin to argue.
"Well it is still being figured out," Minerva said. She added with a tone of annoyance, "Ms Dumbledore is sorting it all out. She is taking her time."
"How many students are planning on returning?" Harry asked.
"Not many, unfortunately," Minerva sighed, "After what happened..."
"Livia will think of something," Harry said quickly when he realised Minerva couldn't continue.
"She has," Minerva said, "She wants you to speak to the prophet about students returning, but only if you wish too."
"I'll think about it," Harry said. "So what else is there you need to tell me."
"Albus left some of his belongings inside this trunk," Minerva said, "He addressed it to you."
"What's in it?"
"I don't know," Minerva said, "I doubt that I'd be able to open it, it was addressed to you."
"Alright," Harry smiled.
"I must go, I have so much work to do," Minerva sighed.
"I'll walk you out, Proffesor," Hermione said.
------
A young, dark haired handsome vampire sat on top of a coffin, inside a mausoleum. He ran a hand through his brown locks, and closed his dark blue eyes as he lay down on the coffin. Around him four other vampires sat talking amongst one another and playing with a set of cards.
He opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling above him. He yawned and stretched when suddenly one of his fellow vampires screamed. He spun around to see an elderly looking woman drop to the ground; dead. A wooden stake sticking in the left part of her chest, exactly where her heart was. His friends all screamed and panicked, cards flying. He saw a group of cloaked people and a werewolf in human form, appear out of no where. Death eaters. He gaped recognizing one of the death eaters. Bellatrix Lestrange. Acting quickly he rolled over landing on the cold ground with a thud. He slid underneath the coffin praying the Dark Lord himself wasn't with them.
"You vampires will either join us or die," A voice said, the werewolf, he could smell the wolf's terrible odour from where he was.
"Then we will die," A vampire said boldly. Raynor, the youngest vampire thought.
"Say hello to the devil then," Bella sneered. The young vampire bit his lips as he heard his mentor scream in pain, and then there was silence. He shook fearfully praying the others wouldn't defy the death eaters.
"Bella," A cold voice hissed, the handsome vampire shivered fearfully. It was the Dark Lord. "One of the vampires is hiding under the coffin."
Oh no! Oh no! The vampire panicked as he heard the foot steps of the death eater draw nearer. Making a quick decision he slipped out of his hiding place and stood up, his arms rose in defeat. However his enemies didn't see the handsome man he usually was. Instead they saw short older looking man, with dull brown hair and plain brown eyes.
"We give up," he said, he nodded, assuring the two remaining vampires, two beautiful young women, who were being held by the death eaters, "But I have one final thing to say before we join you."
"And what's that?" Voldemort hissed.
"You are fighting a losing battle," he said boldly, courage growing inside him, "you dislike muggles and mudbloods because of their heritage but you clearly haven't noticed something. Compared to the magical world, there is billions more of them. Muggles are decades a head in technology. Guns, bombs, poisonous gases against the death curse? Answer me one question; what is your death eaters' wands against the likes of an atomic bomb? You must remember something about muggles, when they are threatened, they will react. Their reaction is something no one will be able to control them. Not even you."
"Yes," Voldemort laughed coldly, "That was a brilliant speech, too bad it will be your last."
"Kill me," the vampire dared, "But I should inform you, it won't sit to well with Serenity Eden. And I'm sure you want to keep her on your side."
"How do you know her?" Greyback growled.
"The same way you do," he smirked, "She's a vampire, a feline. Vampires don't mate for life. They mate everyone."
Greyback growled and attempted pounced at the bold vampire, but was held back by a spell from Voldemort.
"Let me kill him," Greyback snarled. Voldemort ignored him as the young vampire gave the two vixens a look. Suddenly the two women fought out of their capturers and evaporated out of sight. Voldemort sighed in frustration as the last vampire laughed.
"Your death eaters are hopeless," he smirked, as Bellatrix raised her wand, "What are you going to kill me again?"
"Again?" Bella repeated.
"Oh yeah, again," he said, before disappearing.
"What did he mean by again?" Alecto asked. Bella ignored the other death eater.
"Some thing eerily familiar about him," Bella muttered to her master, who was glowing with anger. "Reminded me of Sirius."
-------
"What are you doing Harry?" Hermione asked as she walked into one of the empty rooms. Harry had decided to put all of his books and educational instruments inside the room. The trunk McGonagoll sent was in the corner of the room still not open.
"I'm making this room our study room," Harry said, "I think you and Ron should get all of your books in here as well. I'm going to put all the information we get on Voldemort here."
"That's a good idea," Ron said as he entered the room. He had a light brown smudge on his cheek. Harry raised a brow. "What?"
"What's that on your cheek?" Harry asked, touching his own cheek to show Ron wear to clean. Ron raised a hand to the clean side and rubbed as Hermione pulled out a tissue, "Other side."
"Oh," Ron said as Hermione rubbed it off, both blushing heavily.
"What was that?"
"Dirt," Ron and Hermione said hastily.
"Really?" Harry laughed. The two blushed deeper as Harry began to sing a well known muggle song. "Hermy and Ron kissing in a tree!"
"Shut up!" Both said as Harry continued to sing.
"K.I.S.S.I.N.G!" Harry sang, when Ron suddenly tackled him. The two play fought as Hermione laughed and joined in tickling Harry's sides. "Not fair!"
"Serves you right!" Ron sniggered, as he to joined Hermione in tickling Harry. After three or four minutes of playing the three sat up laughing.
"Look at us acting like first years!" Hermione giggled.
"Thank God none of my brothers are here," Ron laughed.
"Damn! That means my family is watching me!" Harry snorted. Ron and Hermione went silent. "What? Both Dumbledore and Sirius said they are always watching me."
"I'm glad you believe that," Hermione said hugging Harry. The trio leaned against the wall and held each other like the friends they were.
"So when will you open the trunk?" Ron asked, laying his head on Hermione's shoulder.
"Yeah," Harry said, "But later I'm far too comfortable right now."
"What do you reckon is in it?" Ron said.
"Probably Dumbledore's pensieve, a letter to Harry, and information on Voldemort," Hermione said.
"How do you know?" Ron said, reminding Harry of their younger years at Hogwarts.
"Because that's what Harry and Dumbledore were working on, Ronald," Hermione said, Harry laughed. "What?"
"You reminded me of when we were at Hogwarts," Harry laughed, "You argued so much it was getting old!"
"You two want to go back?" Ron asked, "For a day a week?"
"I don't see why not," Harry said, "I'd like to be able to see our friends."
"Like Ginny," Hermione smirked.
"Yeah, Ginny, Neville, Luna," Harry said quickly, giving Hermione an annoyed glance.
"Definitely Luna!" Ron said happily, "We need a good laugh."
There was suddenly a loud knocking on the door. Harry growled in annoyance
"Great timing," he sighed standing up, "I'll go see who that is."
"Okay," Ron said, as Harry walked out of the room. He looked up at Hermione and kissed underneath her chin. She kissed him back on the lips. The two sat up and began to kiss for longer when they heard Harry shout,
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
Hermione and Ron stared at each other before they both bolted down stairs. Hermione who was a second faster then Ron was in the lead, she stopped abruptly when she saw Harry pushing Draco Malfoy against the wall, his wand sticking against Malfoy's neck. Ron who was still running down the stairs ran into Hermione knocking her to the ground.
"Sorry," Ron said picking Hermione up, he still hadn't noticed Malfoy. He looked up at Harry and shouted, "What the hell is he doing here?"
"That's what I was asking him," Harry said, threateningly. Malfoy winced as the wand poked him harder.
"Harry," Hermione said, pulling Harry away from Malfoy. Harry put his wand down but kept it out as he glared at Malfoy.
"Answer the question," Harry snarled.
"I want to know why you put me on your list," Draco said, cutting straight to the chase, "We hate each other, and here you are putting me on that list."
"I didn't put you on the list because I like you," Harry said, angrily, "Or because I want to be friends with you, I put you on because Dumbledore would have wanted me to."
Draco nodded and looked at the door, "I'll just go now, and my mum is probably getting worried."
He walked towards the door and opened it as Hermione hit Harry across the head. Harry gave her a look as she glared at him. Harry rolled his eyes and sighed when Hermione gave him another look.
"Fine," Harry snapped, he walked forward and pulled Malfoy back inside, he quickly said, "Why don't you come to my birthday, it's at the burrow. Tonks will be there so you can come with her."
Draco stared at Harry like he was insane and then grinned, "Okay! I'll be there! I have to go."
He then walked out of the house and dis-apparated. Ron shook his head, "I think his gone mental!"
"He was happy," Harry said, sounding baffled, "that I invited him to my birthday."
"Oh give me a break," Hermione sighed.
"What?" Harry and Ron said together.
"Isn't it obvious," Hermione said, "He has wanted to be friends with you from day one, truthfully if he wasn't sorted into Slytherin I reckon you and he would have been great friends."
"Yeah right," Ron said, Harry nodded in agreement.
"Malfoy doesn't have friends," Harry said, "Only people who follow him around and do what he tells them to do. Except for Blaise."
"But Blaise doesn't like him," Ron said.
"That's what I meant Ron," Harry sniggered.
----------
"Quickly! Get the tables ready!" Molly shouted.
"Calm down mum!" Bill sighed, "We will be ready in time! Don't worry so much."
"He is going to be here in five minutes!" Molly snapped, "And nothing is ready!"
"Muser!" Fleur said, dragging Molly inside, she sat her down on an arm chair. "You can sit 'ere. Relax, Bill and I will make sure everything will go according to ze plan!"
"No," Molly said standing up. Fleur pushed her back down and repeated herself.
"Bill and I will 'ave every thing under control," Fleur assured.
"Your English is getting better," Molly said absent-mindedly.
"Bill is a good teacher," Fleur said, she left the room as Molly breathed in and leaned into the chair.
-------
"Harry! Come on!" Hermione said, "We are going to be late to your own birth day!"
"Hermione we have three minutes," Ron snapped.
"We can be early!"
"I'm ready any way," Harry smiled as he ran down the stairs. "Let's go."
-------
"Where are you going?" Severus asked looking throw the photo album Serenity had made of Enlil.
"Harry's birthday," Serenity said, as she applied a small amount of black mascara to her eyelash.
"And you are wearing that?" Severus asked, standing up. He walked behind her looking at her from the mirror as she applied a pale brown lip gloss to her red lips.
"What's wrong with it?" Serenity said, standing up staring at her clothes through the mirror. She was wearing an extremely mini skirt, which was a pale pink colour. She had a tight dark brown singlet which bared majority of her pale stomach. Severus poked her in the belly and shook his head.
"What is that thing in your belly button?" Severus snapped noticing something shiny.
"It's a belly ring," Serenity smirked, pulling something out of her draw. "Look I have to go. I'll be back tonight."
"What's that?" Severus asked. "It looks like a video camera."
"It is a video camera," Serenity said, "I'm gonna record a few things for you. I'll get Enly to pose for the camera again. He seems to like cameras."
"Alright," Severus said. Serenity stood on her tippy toes and gave Severus a little kiss on the cheek. Severus smirked; he was getting use to the kisses.
------
"Happy birthday Harry," Remus said smiling at his best friend's son.
"Thanks Remus," Harry grinned. His party was going off. They had invited many of his school friends mostly from his own year, including Neville, Luna, Dean Thomas, Seamus Finnigan, Lavender Brown (who seemed to be glaring a lot at Hermione) Parvati Patil and her twin Padma, Colin and Dennis Creevey, Hannah Abbot, Sussan Bones, Justin Finch-Fletchley, and Ernie Macmillan. He grinned when he saw his old Quidditch team all sitting around a table talking. Fred and George Weasley were entertaining Angelina Johnson, Katie Bell, Alicia Spinnet and Oliver Wood. He raced over grinning at the older students.
"Hey, here comes the birthday boy," Alicia grinned, Oliver stood up and shook hands with Harry also grinning. "Happy birthday, Harry."
"Yeah, Happy Birthday," Angelina and Katie said together.
"Thanks," Harry grinned.
"So how is the Quidditch?" Oliver smiled.
"Brilliant, we won the cup last year!" Harry smiled.
"Brilliant," Oliver said. "So who was made the goalie aye?"
"Ron," Fred and George said instantly.
"He plays quite well," Katie said, "He was a little nervous at first, but he's good when he isn't nervous."
"Actually," Harry said, "The team's great, just the beaters are a little off putting."
"No one like us," Fred said.
"No," Harry smirked.
"Hey where's Percy?" Oliver said. "Don't tell me he is working?"
"Nah he is up in his room," George smirked.
"Well," Oliver said standing up, "I'm gonna go get him."
"Well I'm gonna go walk around see who's here," Harry said, walking inside, to see Blaise Zabini talking to a tall girl. She was facing Blaise so Harry could only see her back; she had long brown wavy hair which she had braided in two plaits. He walked up to them to thank them when he recognized the other person. She had large green-blue eyes, a long chin and a small pointy nose. She had changed a lot from a first year hag. "Millicent Bulstrode?"
"Yeah," she smiled softly, "Happy birthday."
"Thanks,"
"Yeah Potter, happy birthday," Blaise said some what warningly. Harry motioned towards the kitchen. "So you want to get a drink, Potter?"
"Sure," Harry said.
"Be right back," Blaise said to Millicent. He and Harry walked into the burrow's kitchen and both grabbed a cup of pumpkin juice.
"So what she doing here?" Harry asked.
"She was staying at my place for a day or so," Blaise said, "When my mum rocks up and says 'Blaise, you're going to Potter's birthday, get dress we are going now!'"
He said that in a high pitched voice. "I didn't want to be rude, and tell her to go home."
"Oh okay," Harry said, "Its okay if she hangs out here today."
"Okay," Blaise said, he added in annoyance, "What do you expect from mothers?"
"I never knew mine," Harry said. Blaise bit his tongue and then said;
"But you are going to get you-know-who for that though, aren't you?"
"Yes," Harry nodded, "Can I ask you a question?"
"You just did," Blaise smirked, Harry grinned.
"Yeah, I did," Harry said, "Any way, I heard that you and Malfoy don't seem to get along to well when Remus gave you our hiding place. Are you two enemies or just don't see eye to eye?"
"Don't see eye to eye," Blaise said, smirking, "I just don't agree with all of his opinions about other people."
"But last year you told him you did," Harry said. Blaise gave him a look, Harry shrugged weakly.
"Well," Blaise said, "Most of the times, when I spoke to him he was surrounded by a dozen other Slytherins. If I said what my real opinion is they'd all be a little shotty."
"I suppose," Harry said, "But you don't strike me as one who would care."
"I don't," Blaise said, "But not at the expense of getting my ass cursed."
Harry burst out laughing as Blaise rubbed his buttocks.
"I got to go," Harry said, "Thanks for coming."
---------
"Hey Enlil," Serenity said walking over to the thirteen year old.
"Hey Tante," Enlil grinned eying the video camera in her hand. "What is that for?"
"For your dad," Serenity said, as she turned it on, "Say hi."
"Hey dad," Enlil said, grinning at the camera.
-------
"Hey Serenity!" Harry said. The raven-haired vampire had a long leather coat on, turned around and smiled at him.
"Hey Harry," she said, "Happy birthday. How's it like being legal?"
"Feels good," Harry laughed, "I can drink now."
"Talk about drinking," Serenity said, "I forgot my vodka."
"We have fire whiskey," Harry suggested.
"Muggle vodka is stronger and nicer," Serenity said, "Actually I wouldn't mind some coke now."
"Coca Cola?" Harry said. "I haven't had a Coke in years."
"Well I'm going to get one," Serenity said, "Or a case full."
She clicked herself away as Harry walked over to the large group of students and his friends. He sat between Blaise and Enlil and began to laugh when Blaise decided to start making impressions of all the DADA teachers they had.
"This ones Quirrell," Blaise said, he began to shake and in a quivering voice he stuttered, "M-m-my n-n-n-n-name is P-Proffesor K-k-k-Quirrell. I-I-I-I-I-I-I meet a vamp-vamp-vamp-vampire w-w-w-once, b-b-b-b-b-but, she w-w-wasn't as s-scary as I said. She was S-s-s-s-s-serenity, and she actually d-d-didn't sc-scare me. I j-j-just had a d-d-d-dumb d-d-dark l-l-lord in m-m-m-m-my head!"
The group burst out laughing as Draco Malfoy walked towards them.
"Hey Malfoy," Harry called, "It's about time, what where you doing?"
"Shut up Potter," Draco snapped as he finally sat beside Harry. The entire group other then Harry, Hermione and Ron stared at him in shook. "Take a picture, it lasts longer."
"Malfoy's here because I invited him," Harry said in a final voice, to make sure no one asked why. "Hey Blaise go on."
"Where was I?"
"HELP!" Some one screeched. Harry spun around to see Serenity holding five cases of Coca Cola. Oliver, Bill, Dean, Charlie and Percy rushed over and grabbed the cases of the vampire. They put the five cases on the tables as Serenity began to open one of the cases.
"Coke!" Blaise said cheerfully. Serenity nodded and pulled out a can. She chucked can at Blaise who caught it and opened it. Serenity handed out a can to every one and showed them how to open it.
"I heard you were making fun of the teachers," Serenity said to Blaise.
"What's it to ya?" He smirked before adding, "Proffesor."
"Ah shut up," Serenity said, "Making me feel old, any way go on."
"Where was I?" Blaise asked.
"Lockhart," Oliver said. "This one should be good."
"Lemme think," Blaise muttered; he went silent in thought until he finally thought of something. "Okay, believe it or not Lockhart is hard. He is easy to do; its just it sounds stupid."
"Nothing stupider then Lockhart," Ron said. Blaise laughed and nodded.
"Alright I'll do it," Blaise said, he put on a Lockhart voice and grinned like a moron, then said: "I my self have managed to defeat a werewolf, a vampire, a zombie, a mummy, and a yeti, yet miraculously, during my time at Hogwarts I crapped on about Cornish Pixies."
The group burst into laughter as Remus said; "Do me!"
"But you were a good teacher," Blaise said, he then raised his hands as he added, "No brown-nosing."
"Come on," Remus said, "Has to be something."
"Nope," Blaise said honestly, "You were the best teacher we had…ever."
"Zabini is right," Draco said, softly. "As much as I hate to say it."
"Yeah," Ron said, "Any way Blaise do Mad-eye."
"What do you mean 'do Mad-eye?'" Moody asked as he grabbed a can of coke from Serenity. Without thinking he opened it to have the coke squirt into his face. "EDEN!"
"Wasn't me," Serenity said, sniggering, "Any way, Blaise do Mad-eye."
"Okay," Blaise said staring at Mad-eye. He smirked and then half shut one eye and open the next as wide as he could, he then began to shout in a perfect imitation of Mad-eye, "CONSTANT VIGILANCE! I'm that famous paranoid- CONSTANT VIGILANCE! Auror that transfigured Malfoy to a ferret! CONSTANT VIGILANCE! But then every one found out I was a fraud! CONSTANT VIGILANCE!"
Every one burst out laughing, Ron and Harry laughed harder then all because of the memory of Malfoy as a ferret.
"This ones my favourite; Umbridge," Blaise said, he smirked before putting on a high pitched voice; "My name is Proffesor Umbridge. Can you say that after me? Hem, hem. I'm a hideous toad-like thing, and I can't do shit for shit! HEM. HEM!"
"Hey Remus the 'hem, hem' reminds me of Umbridge," Serenity said, clearly not listening.
"That's because it is Umbridge," Blaise said rubbing his throat, as Remus burst out laughing. "No more, my throat hurts."
"What's so funny, Remus?" Harry asked, the werewolf was still laughing.
"It just reminded me of Serenity and her visit to that same Umbridge," Remus said wiping a tear from his eye.
"What happened?" Draco asked, staring at the vampire.
"Well, you know how she hates half-breeds?" Serenity asked. Most of the people nodded. "Well she had a nerve to send me a letter to go back to were I came from. So I paid her a visit, in full on vampire mode. The long black hair, red clothes, red eyes, sharp teeth and the blood dripping from my fangs. She had a full on heart attack."
The group laughed again as Molly called them over to break an extremely large cake with seven bright lit candles.
-----
"Happy Birthday to you," everyone sang as Harry sat on front of his cake with a party hat Livia had brought from a muggle store. Even Draco was wearing one; his excuse was it looked like the hat they'd wear at Hogwarts; only in colour "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Harry, happy birthday to you."
"Beep, Beep!" Serenity called out as she moved the camera around recording everyone.
"Hurray!" The group shouted back.
"Beep, Beep!" Serenity called out.
"Hurray!" The group shouted back.
"Beep, Beep!" Serenity called out.
"Hurray!" The group shouted back.
"Make a wish and blow the candles out," Serenity said, "Think of me in your wish."
Harry laughed as he blew out seventeen candles. He was grabbed the knife and cut the cake when Serenity said, "You have to kiss the nearest girl, that'll be Bill."
"Hey!" Bill said as everyone burst out laughing, except Harry; he moved closer to Ginny.
"Oh sorry," Serenity said. "I thought you were a girl, with that hair."
"See Bill," Molly said, "If you just let me cut it."
"No," Bill said simply.
"Don't worry Molly, I'll get it when his asleep," Serenity smirked, she then cast a look at Fleur, "Or maybe not, I don't want to walk in on any thing."
Bill and Fleur both blushed as the Burrow filled with laughter.
"Any way," Serenity said, "The best part of any birthday, other then everyone going home; is the presents. Here is mine, the crappiest present of the day. But I made it so it's saying something."
"Yeah, you have nothing better to do," Octavian muttered.
She threw a small wrapped box at Harry, after casting a death stare at Octavian. He caught it as Molly grabbed the cake and walked over to the kitchen. He un-wrapped it and burst into laughter. He held up a frame of a comic cartoon of himself giving Voldemort a kiss on the cheek while saying 'I love you, Voldie.' The next thing seen was Voldemort screaming no and blowing into oblivion. At the bottom of the picture it wrote: 'See, every thing Albus said was true. Love will conquer all.'
"I hope I don't have to kiss Voldemort to kill him," Harry laughed, handing the frame to Ron.
------------
After all the present opening, Harry had received three pairs of robes, ten books, a broom cleaning set (again) a lot of junk food, and a drawing of him and Voldemort. Everyone had begun to leave after Harry gave a personal thanks to all of them. The only people left were the Weasleys, Draco, Remus, Tonks, Blaise and the vampires. Blaise was waiting for his mother. Serenity had fallen asleep and was hanging from the ceiling. Her skirt some how defied gravity so it was covering her thighs. Livia stared up at her yawning. She grabbed a piece of ice from her cup of pumpkin juice at threw it at the elder vampire. Serenity fell to the ground with a thud, but continued to sleep.
"You can't wake the dead, Livia," Octavian sighed. He threw a peanut at her, and another. However Serenity continued to sleep.
"Try throwing a can of coke," Remus said, yawning "If the can doesn't wake her, the drink will."
"No," Blaise said, "That's the last coke; I think she'd be pissed if it's all shook up."
"Hush!" Octavian snapped, "No mentioning Elvis Presley; that may wake her up!"
"And she'll start singing," Livia said, "Its okay if she is drunk, but if she isn't she cant sing nicely otherwise!"
"Shut up!" Serenity snapped sitting up, "I can't bloody sleep with you blood clots yapping about Michael Jackson and Pepsi! And what the hell are these peanuts doing here?"
"Michael Jackson and Pepsi?" Ron asked. "But we were talking about-"
"Never mind," Livia smirked. "She just woke up, she's usually groggy."
"When is my mum coming?" Blaise sighed, his eyes droopy.
"What? You need your beauty sleep?" Ginny asked. Draco sniggered.
"Well at least sleep works wonders on me," Blaise snapped back. "Can't say much about you!"
"Hey!" Harry snapped, just as Halle appeared behind Blaise. She slapped him across the head.
"Apologize!" Halle snapped, as Draco smirked.
"Alright, alright," Blaise snarled, "Sorry. Now can we go? It's your fault I'm annoyed and cranky."
"Yes, yes," Halle said taking her sons hand. "Good night, everyone."
"Good night," Blaise said, just before everyone bid them both a good bye. They disappeared into thin air. Tonks stood up and pulled Draco up with her.
"We better go to," Tonks said, "Before his mum has a fit."
"Tell me about it," Draco smirked. "Happy Birthday Potter"
"Thanks Malfoy,"
"Happy birthday Harry," Tonks said hugging him.
"Thanks Tonks," Harry smiled. Tonks gave Remus a kiss on the cheek before the two cousins walked over to the fire and went straight home in a ride of flames and fire. Serenity sat up and stared at Remus.
"What is it?"
"Go home," Serenity said, "So I can go!"
"Serenity," Octavian muttered.
"Meh?"
Don't 'meh' me," Octavian snapped.
"Then shut up," Serenity said. "Screw you guys, I'm going home."
She stood up and fell back down after slipping on a peanut. "GOD DAMNIT!"
Enlil burst out laughing as she stood up again, checking though for the other peanut. She bent down and picked it up before chucking it into her mouth, "mmm, germ-infested peanut."
She disappeared with a click leaving the group laughing, except for Fleur who was gross out.
"Well I may as well call it a night," Remus said. "Happy birthday Harry."
"Thank you Remus thanks for coming," Harry smiled.
"Wolffi," Octavian said, giving Remus as look, "I'll take you home."
"Okay," Remus said, understanding what the look meant. The vampire was worried about Greyback. He grabbed the vampire's hand when it was offered.
"Livia will you come know or shall I meet you back home?" Octavian asked.
"Home," Livia said. Octavian nodded and gave Potter a smile before disappearing with Remus who just managed to say bye. "Harry, Minerva has visited you hasn't she?"
"Yes," Harry said, "And we will come back to Hogwarts once a week."
"The day with most of the subjects," Hermione said.
"Well, what day are you least busy?" Livia asked.
"Not sure," Harry said, "Doesn't really matter. We will try to make it. Though if we can't…"
"Doesn't matter," Livia said. "Did Minerva tell you about the interview with the prophet?"
"Yes," Harry said. "What exactly do you want me to do?"
"Just tell the parents that Hogwarts will be safe for their children," Livia said. "They like you."
"But will the school be safe?" Molly asked.
"Yes, with a vampire at each entry," Livia said, "You'd hope it would be. Any way I better go. Happy birth day Harry; and many more. Bye"
She disappeared just as Harry said, "thanks."
"Hey Charlie I was wondering if Hermione, Harry and I can borrow Enlil when he sixteen," Ron said.
"Why?" Charlie asked, as Enlil looked at his youngest uncle.
"Cause I want to take him to a muggle zoo,"
"A zoo?" Enlil repeated, "What do I look like? A green peace worker."
"Alright," Charlie said, ignoring the snipe remark. "I don't see why not? Even if he is grounded."
"Oh give me a break," Enlil said, heatedly. "Like you haven't broken a rule before."
"No he and Percy were both perfect," Bill laughed, just before Charlie could scold him. Percy playfully hit Bill, who laughed harder.
"My mum was a nerd," Enlil said, raising a brow, implausibly looking like Snape, "Great."
"I was not a nerd!" Charlie snapped. "Bill was just a moron."
"Was not!"
"Yes you were," Charlie said, "How many people throw them selves over the moving stair cases?"
"I didn't throw my self," Bill said, as Molly gasped. "I was pushed by some ass of a Slytherin. Talking about Slytherin, Malfoy seems different. Almost nice. Are you sure he is Lucius Malfoy's son?"
----------
"Ron," Hermione snapped, "Why are you wearing that?"
"Its muggle clothing," Ron said buckling up his hat. "And Harry said that I need to wear muggle clothing today if we are going to the zoo."
"Ron, it's a pink baby bonnet," Hermione sighed, Ron quickly threw the hat off, "I'm surprised it fits."
"Shut up," Ron said, he looked at his hair and sighed, "What am I going to wear on my head then?"
"Nothing," Hermione said, "I like it how it is."
"Huh, okay," Ron said grinning at her.
"When's Enlil coming?" Hermione asked.
"Soon," Ron said pulling on one of his shoes.
"They're here," Harry called. "Hurry up."
"I'll see you down there," Hermione said as she walked down to the living room. Charlie and Ginny were sitting on the huge sofas, as Enlil looked at the pictures on the fire mantle.
"Harry, you forgot this present," Enlil said handing Harry a small black box. Harry took the box off Enlil and lifted of the lid only to gasped slamming it back down again.
"What is it?" Hermione asked as Harry opened it very quickly and pulled out a letter. He quickly slammed it shut again, and opened the letter. He rolled his eyes. "Harry?"
"Voldemort sent me a gift," He said, grimly as he opened the box. He showed the group a box of tiny, white maggots. A silence fell in the Hollow as Harry read the letter read out the letter.
'Dearest Harry,
Happy Seventeenth Birthday, unfortunately it will be your last, so enjoy it while you still can. In the following year know that it shall be you last. That prophecy will come true, and I will defeat the famous Harry Potter, the boy who lived, the chosen one. What a load of rubbish. I know that the old fool has been preparing you for our final battle, but you do not stand a chance against me what so ever. The last time we faced you were lucky the fool was there. And your mudblood mother isn't here to protect you either. But I assure you this will be your last birthday.
The Dark Lord.'
The room was silent in complete shock until Harry laughed again. "Can I please get a quill and paper? I have a letter to reply to."
"What you gonna say?" Ron asked sounding appalled.
"Nothing much," Harry said. He looked at Enlil before saying, "We will go in a minute. I just need to write my letter. Can some one contact Serenity so she can send it. He'll probably kill the owl when he sees it. Actually doesn't matter, let's go to the zoo I'll send it later."
"Okay," Charlie said, "I'm gonna go back home, and I'll see you guys-"
He was interrupted by the knocking from the door. Hermione walked over and opened it to see Blaise standing there, with an annoyed looking Draco.
"Hey Granger," Blaise said walking right in, as Draco stilled stood were he was.
"You can come in," Hermione said, Draco nodded and walked in.
"What are you guys doing here?" Harry asked.
"My mum made me go over to his cousins," Blaise said, "And I refuse to spend the entire day alone with him, you guys I can put up with, but he is a git."
"Shut up," Draco snapped. Blaise smiled at him and laughed.

"Hey look," Enlil said, pointing at small rhino-like animal. It had a long rubbery snout, small black eyes, a short stiff mane and a tiny short tail. It was overall black in colour but had a white-grey striped back.
"That's a Tapir," Hermione said, "A Brazilian Tapir, live in the rain forests and they are herbivores."
"Its ugly," Draco smirked.
"Malfoy's right," Harry laughed, playfully hitting his arch-rival. "It looks like a rhino and zebra cross-breed with each other."
Ron and Blaise both burst out laughing, and Draco smiled baring his pearly teeth. Enlil however suddenly broke into a very fast walk towards enclosed area with a large sigh saying The Feline Sanctuary. Ginny and Hermione quickly followed him as the other boys had to run to catch up.
"Enlil, what's wrong," Ron asked, as he chased his nephew. The boy finally stopped when he reached the metal cage, where a small baby black panther was laying in. It meowed at Enlil sounding as though it pitied it self. He knelt beside the cage and stuck his hand into the cage. He patted the baby panther as Hermione gaped.
"Get your hand out before it bites you," Ginny scolded, "Or before some one comes and sees you."
"Or worse!" Harry said, as a large female panther stalked over towards them, "Before his mother comes."
Enlil however didn't seem too worried about the mother; he continued to pat the cub as the older cat drew nearer. Ron reacted quickly pulling Enlil away from the cage. Enlil fought his youngest uncle and made his way back to the cage. He stuck his hand in the cage and stroked the mother cat. She purred and rubbed herself against the cat.
"Why isn't she attacking you?" Draco asked, as he stuck his own hand to pat the cub. The panther let out a roar and pounced at the Slytherin's hand. Draco acted quickly removing his hand before harm could be done.
"Its okay Sheera," Enlil said rubbing the panther's neck, "He won't hurt Yakoot."
"You understand her?" Ron asked. Enlil nodded, "How?"
"Draco," Enlil said, ignoring his uncle, "Pat him."
"No way,' Draco exclaimed.
"Pat him," Enlil repeated.
"Okay, but if she bites my hand," Draco said leaning beside Enlil again.
"She wont," Enlil said as Draco began to stroke the cub. Harry stared at Enlil; there was something strange about him.
