-CHAPTER Two-
Big Birthday surprises
"Oi. Wake up. Wake up Harry" said Hermiones' voice. Harry smiled and stayed asleep. He was in the middle of a good dream. Harry felt a hand slide below the sheets, and felt Hermione kissing him. He grabbed her and rolled her onto the bed with him.
"What if I don't want to?" Asked Harry. After several quick kisses, Hermione said.
"It's your birthday handsome. Come and enjoy it while you can."
"So they can wait, for another couple of minutes." Said Harry. Twenty minutes later, they both made it down stairs. There on the floor, surrounded by puffy armchairs, filled with people, were a large pile of presents. About the equivalent to all the presents he had been given added together over the years. Harry swallowed.
"Dam!" Harry said. Everyone, from the Order of Phoenix, that were alive, and from the Weasley family were there.
"Happy Birthday Harry." They all said.
"Mines on top" whispered Hermione. Ron got out of his chair, and let Harry sit down in it. Hermione handed him the present on top. It turned out to be a spell book, that seemed to teach the reader, how to mend injuries. Rons' was a calendar planner. There was also a box of the brand new and best of the Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes from Fred. By the best of, that meant, everything from, Skiving Snackboxes, to trick wands, and from self-inking, spell-checking, and smart answer quills, to a couple of extendable ears. A couple of jumpers, from Mrs. Weasley, along with a dozen different types of sweets. There was a whole shaving set, which Harry had needed since departing Hogwarts, for the summer holidays. And they were to be the longest of his school life. There was also a couple of reading books, wizardry reading book of course.
"Hey Harry. Sorry I couldn't come yesterday but-" said Luna.
"Well happy birthday Harry!" Said Ginny, beaming at him.
"Hey Luna. How are you?" Asked Harry.
"Not bad Harry, not bad at all."
"I'll tell you later" Ginny said, catching him staring at her hand in Lunas'. Harry smiled and went back to opening presents. About half an hour later breakfast, bacon and eggs, was served up. The day went on. As it got warmer, Harry, Ginny, Luna, Hermione, Ron, Fred, Bill, Charlie played four-a-side Quidditch. Luna, Hermione, Bill and Charlie, weren't to good, but with the help of Ron, Ginny, Harry, and Fred they did well. After a couple of hours of that, they came in for a well deserved lunch. Luna it seemed was now un seperateable from Ginny. How strange. He looked at Hermione, all the way through lunch.
"Harry your drooling!" Said Ginny right next to him. Harry wiped his mouth.
"Thanks Ginny."
"Hey after lunch I'll tell you my little secret and you can tell me why Hermione went to your room last night."
"OK". After a nice lunch Ginny and Harry walked outside together. Out under the tree which Harry had his small "fight" with Ron the day before Harry and Ginny talked.
"Harry. Luna and I are together. We have been since the train ride home last year. Luna said she had feelings for me and I said I had feelings for her too. Then it kind of happened. We first kissed when I went over her place about a week after I got home. That was about ten weeks ago. Now when ever we get a private moment together, well I'll just leave it to your imagination. Now. Why did Hermione go to your room last night and come back so happy?"
"Lets just say we kind of did it."
"Describe it."
"I'll leave that for your imagination" Ginnys' jaw fell open.
"Oh." was all she said. You didn't. You did?" she said as she saw the look on Harrys' face.
"Maybe I did. And maybe I didn't."
"Oh Harry." She said and she shook here head laughing. Just then Hermione and Luna came out. Hermione laid down and put her head in Harrys' lap and smiled at the reaction she was getting from him.
"Hey Hermione. We were just talking"
"Yeah. I can tell"
"We were" said Ginny Anyways. I heard you guys had fun last night" Hermione looked at Harry.
"What? She guessed. And I said maybe we did and maybe we didn't." She frowned at him.
'Why did you do that for Harry. That was private' thought Hermione
'Well I'm Sorry'Harry thought back.
'You can read my mind?'
'You can read my mind?'
'Yes'
'Well that's your answer babe'
'Since when?'
'Just now'
'Same Here'
"What are you two doing. Reading each others minds?" Asked Ginny
"What do you mean?"
"Your head was moving back and forwards. Like when you get a surprise or something"
"Do you have any idea what she means?" Hermione asked Harry
"No I don't"
"Anyways I know you guys are together now. Wow I didn't spot you as a. Well a Lesbian Ginny. Luna on the other hand. I spotted that when we first met on the carriage on the way to Hogwarts in our fifth year." Hermione joked
"Ha. Ha. Very funny" said Luna in her dreamy voice.
"Any way Harry. This just came" Hermione said and handed Harry a package. It was long. Almost like a-
"A broom stick. Who sent it."
"That's not just any broom stick Harry. That is a Firebolt 2.0" said Ginny looking at the handle. "Hagrid arrived and said he couldn't stay and to wish you a happy birthday." Said Hermione.
"Of course it would have been him. My last broomstick fell from Sirius's bike that night" Harry mumbled. The others continued talking. Harry paid no attention as he found the locket that he kept on him at all times. Dumbledore had risked his life for this thing. Only for Harry to find out after chasing Snape and Malfoy all through the castle and out the gates. When he had found Dumbledores' broken figure that was when Harry had found out that the locket was a fake. Just then five owls came swooping towards the house. They flew trough the open window in the kitchen and dropped their letters and had a nibble of bread from Mrs. Weasley and took flight. Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, and Luna walked inside.
"New school book list just arrived you five. And once again they look like they are not getting any cheaper this year then. Given you are all in the same year." said Mrs. Weasley as they walked in.
"As usual" said Ron. Harry went through his list. Just books and more Potion gear.
"Right. Tomorrow we are off to Diagon Ally. For now we must gather up what we have and put it in your trunks you two." Said Mrs. Weasley to Ron and Ginny. They left and Luna followed Ginny to her room. Harry left for Charlies room to move his stuff into Ron's room, and Hermione helped him.
