This Chapter: A surprise, but for who?
Now.........on with the story!
Harry opened his eyes the next morning to hear Sirius shouting, "Harry get up!"
"I'm up, I'm up." mumbled Harry as he sat up in bed.
"Get dressed. You can leave today." said Sirius.
"Don't know what the rush is all about." said Harry as he pulled on his robes. Once he was dressed and had collected his belongings, Sirius grabbed his arm and started pulling him out of the hospital wing. After they had climbed several flights of stairs, Sirius stopped.
"Sorry about this Harry, but I'm just following instructions." said Sirius as he tied a strip of black cloth around Harry's eyes.
"Now no peeking." said Sirius. Harry felt Sirius grab his arm and start to lead him somewhere. After about ten minutes of Sirius leading him to Merlin-knows-where, they stopped. Harry heard Sirius knock three times. After a minute, Sirius pulled Harry into a room and took off the blindfold. The room was dark and Harry strained his eyes trying to see where he was.
"Surprise!" he heard people scream as the lights flickered on.
"Wow." said Harry. He looked around the room. There was a banner hung on a wall that said Happy Birthday Harry. The walls were covered in streamers and balloons. All of his friends were crowded into the room.
"Thanks guys." said Harry.
In the middle of the room was a long table, which everyone was seated at. Sirius steered Harry towards a chair at the head of the table.
Everyone began to shove presents towards him, saying, "Open mine first."
Harry reached into the pile and selected a random gift. It was from Sirius. He opened it up to find another lock-picking knife.
"I heard about your other one and got you a new one." whispered Sirius. Harry slowly opened the rest of the presents.
He got a book from Ron, So Now You're a Quidditch Captain, a book from Hermione, A Collection of Practical Hexes and Jinxes, a jumper from Mrs. Weasley, a box of Honeydukes' sweets from Hagrid, a box of Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes from the Weasley twins, a book from Tonks, Spells to Change Your Appearance, a book of defensive spells from Lupin, a wand holster from Moody, a sliver necklace from Ginny, and a package that said Open Later on it.
"Thanks." said Harry. He put the presents on the floor and Mrs. Weasley set a gigantic cake on the table.
Harry leaned over and tried to blow out the candles, but every time he blew one out, another one would light up. He finally stopped his futile attempts to blow the candles out and leaned back in his chair. Fred and George were laughing crazily. Harry suspected that they had something to do with the candles.
Mrs. Weasley extinguished the candles with her wand and began to pass out pieces of cake. They stayed in the Room of Requirement for several hours. Finally, Harry and his friends headed back to Gryffindor Tower. Harry immediately went up to the dormitory, claiming he was tired.
