Dumbledore read the last letter of those that he sent out in the last couple of days and was quite happy with the response that he had received. Minerva sat across from his waiting for him to tell her something, anything.

"Well?" she asked impatient.

"It seems that we have some portkeys to make for Harry's birthday." He told her with a bright smile and picked up a fresh piece of parchment to write on, "Where do you think that Harry should go first?" he asked.

"I think that Harry should head to Romania first and stay there for a week with Hagrid, then he can go to Egypt for another week and leave Hagrid to visit his dragon friend." Minerva responded.

Albus smiled up at Minerva, "Wonderful idea Minerva. I shall send the letters to our hosts and have the dates set up for young Harry and head off to the Ministry for a portkey." Albus hummed happily as he wrote the letters that needed to be sent.

Fawkes appeared in the desert sands just as a sand storm was about to hit the encampment where Bill was a few hours before. Fawkes let out a thrill and beat its wings leisurely against the wind on his way to the encampment that was covered with an enchantment to keep the tents and artifacts from being buried once again in the sands of Egypt.

People of the camp watched as the firebird appeared from the sands, they knew the myths that the Egyptians held of the great Firebirds, and knew that they had existed but never would have thought that they would every get to see one in real life. Natives and worldly wizards alike watched in awe as the bird landed on the relaxed lap of William Weasley.

"Hullo again Fawkes, have a response from the Headmaster already?" he asked taking the letter from Fawkes beak and brushed his fingers through the plumage. Bill slid his finger along opening and broke the Headmasters seal and removed the letter to read.

Many of those came over to where Bill was seated to look at the great bird that was sitting there under the careful hands of Bill being preened.

"How is it that you know a creature as magnificent as this?" Carmel asked his friend that and the fact that he was the only one that could string together sentences in English better then the others there.

"The Headmaster at Hogwarts is the bonded of Fawkes here and delivers mail quiet often between people. Especially since we are quite a way from England, it would be too much on an owl." Bill explained.

"And what is the Headmaster asking of you?"

"Back home, the Weasleys have an adopted little brother and his birthday is coming up and he just lost the last bit of blood family that he had left and has been going mad being all alone in the castle and the Headmaster has asked if I wouldn't mind hosting him and some new friends for a while for his birthday and I said that it is alright and the Headmaster was just writing back to tell me when they were coming." Bill explained.

"Who and when are they coming?"

"Severus Snape, Remus Lupin, Rubeus Hagrid, some new helpers from another dimension, including the Headmasters second eldest brother, and Harry Potter, the non-red headed Weasley." Bill informed his friend.

Complexions started to pale at the mention of Harry Potter, no matter the language a person understood or spoke, Harry Potter was one thing that never changed, the tales of the Boy-Who-Lived never changed either and neither did the thanks that were given each day from a lot of the Wizarding world.

Carmel sat down on the shins of Bill and moved the red-heads head up so his amber eyes could meet blue, "Are you meaning to tell me that you know the saviour of the Wizarding world?"

Bill stared back into the amber eyes and spoke slowly, "Yes I do, he is an honorary Weasley and his birthday is coming up and has never been out of England, so this is a birthday surprise."

"I wish to meet your brother." Carmel stated firmly, no and ifs or buts in his tone.

"Of course you can, just treat him like a normal teenager, that's all that I ask of you. He doesn't need to be idolised right now." Bill asked.

"I shall do as you ask and will tell the others your wishes." Carmel said and left the eldest Weasley to read his letter.

Charlie steered the cart into the birthing lodging where the momma dragons were with their eggs and hatchlings. It was time for lunch and the dragons knew that as soon as the door opened and the wind carried the smell of raw meat.

The dragons let out a cawing raw as Charlie walked in, "Hello every one, I hope that you are all hungry." He called out to the dragons, knowing full well that the dragons would be hungry and awaiting for their meal.

Charlie let out a chuckle as the mommas gnashed their teeth at him for joking with them when they and their young were hungry. With a flick of his wand the meat spread evenly into the stalls for both mother and hatchling. Each drageling quickly dug in to their meal with the mothers watching over them to see that they were getting enough before going on to eat their own. Charlie watched them for a few minutes before taking the cart back out and headed over to another of the dragon holdings.

"Hey there Norbert, I think that you would like to know that Hagrid will be coming by soon." Charlie told the dragon that was lying down in front of him seemingly not interested that he was there, that was until he mentioned that Hagrid would be coming and got the Horntails full attention. A swirl of smoke came out of his nostrils.

"I am telling you the truth Norbert, Hagrid is coming to see you in a few days along with Harry for a vacation."

Norbert got up and ran at Charlie knocking him down as he started to rub his muzzle into Charlie's body, thrilled that his mommy was coming to visit him soon as well as his brother. Charlie let out a laugh at the happiness emitting off of the Horntail, the other handlers just shook their heads at the display in exasperation.

"Everything is set up for Harry's birthday." Dumbledore announced to Gandalf, Salazar, Pomona, Legolas, Severus and Aragorn, "Now all we are waiting for is the response from those we have invited to Hogwarts on the 30th."

"Well I hope that we will be getting the responses soon, it is only a day away and we need to know how many to cook for." Pomona stated.

"It will all be alright Pomona, everything will come together nicely and I think that it is safe to say that they will all be here for Harry's birthday." Minerva spoke up calming the Herbology professor down.

"Until we receive the replies, I think that all of you should go and get a gift for young Harry if you haven't already and relax for the rest of the day. Sit out by the lake, send letters to your family." Dumbledore told them as he stood up and walked over to his office door, "For I shall be doing the same thing by talking a long overdue talk with my brother." He said and ushered them all out of his office and on their way as he went to find Gandalf.

Hermione walked in to the lounge room and over to where her parents were sitting on the sofa drinking tea and reading the newspaper. Olivia looked over at her daughter seeing her hovering in the doorway.

"Is there anything wrong dear?" she asked concerned.

"No mum there isn't anything wrong, but I was wanting to ask you if you would like to meet Harry? You see his birthday is coming up and the Headmaster has organised a party at Hogwarts and has asked if I would like to come as well as you." Hermione explained in a rush to her bemused parents.

"Of course we would like to go Hermione, but how would we be able to see your school?" Darren questioned as he folded his paper closed.

"The Headmaster has mentioned that he would come and get us and would cast a spell on the both of you so that you may see the castle." She explained.

"Then we would love to go with you to meet Harry properly and to see where you are learning magic."

Hermione beamed at her parents, "Then I shall let the Headmaster know straight away." She cheered and ran off to her room. The Grangers chuckled in response and went back to their papers and tea.

"RONALD WEASLEY, GET INSIDE THIS ISTANT." Molly Weasley yelled out the back door of the Burrow. Ron, the youngest of all of her sons flew down from where he was circling on his broom and ran into the house quick smart.

"Yes mum?" he asked as he put the broom away in the broom closet.

"You need to go and pack some things for an over night stay at the castle for Harry's birthday." She explained, "Now I have contacted Fred, George and Percy and they will be here tomorrow so that we can all go together to the castle alright. Now hop to it young man and make sure that your sister is packed as well."

"Alright mum." Ron said as he ran up to his room to pack his bags for his stay at the castle. Walking pass his room he knocked on Ginny's and opened the door when a soft 'enter' was heard from the girl within.

"Hey Gin, mum wanted me to check on you to see if you had finished packing."

"Yea, I've finished just relaxing now." Ginny responded.

"Ok, see you at dinner then Gin." Ron responded and left the room and the red-haired girl to herself.

Ginny pulled her pillow away from the head of the bed and pulled out the diary that was placed beneath it and turned back to the page that she was writing on. A few minutes later there was a soft blue glow from the book and a smile on Ginny's face.
