Time marches on

Harry's home life was great he was loved a dotted on. Mr and Mrs Granger had really become Mom and Dad, Uncle Padfoot and Moony were always around (except once a month. Then they would be out all night and sleep all the next Day). Harry's seventh Birthday was approaching and he was excited.

The grown ups always made life fun around the Manor. But this was his day, The longbottoms were going to be there, Neville was really shy when they first Met. Now it was fun to have him around. Susan was a cute red headed girl with shinny brown eyes like Hermione's. She lived with Sirius and Aunt Amelia. Remus always was alone. Harry thought that was sad because all grown ups came in pairs like shoes. It was like a part of Remus was missing. He would pray tonight for God to send the other person for him.

The house elves wouldn't let him in the kitchen, He thought he had done something wrong.

A new family was coming too. The Weasleys, Ron was his age and had a younger sister. Harry was hoping for new friends.

The morning of his Birthday arrived with Hermione jumping on his bed. "Just ten more minutes Mione...PLEASE?

Hermione just jumped again..."This is one dqay you don't want to miss a minute of Harry! Come on!" She was dragging him out of bed.

He reluctantly ran in and showered Got into his jean shorts and a t-shirt. He headed down to breakfast. The whole family was around the table, and a stack of presents just waiting for him. He got all kinds of things, Mom got him new underwear. Dad got him some muggle models to build. Hermione got him books on magic. Remus got him a pair of seekers gloves. The biggest present was real long...it couldn't be...he kept staring at it. Sirius got him a cleansweep 7. racing broom. It was only 8 O'clock in the morning and it was already the best birthday ever!

At noon the guests started arriving Neville And his parents, the Weasleys. A new girl with blond hair and crazy blue eyes named Luna Lovegood and her Mom Selean. It was fun. Harry went crazy on his new Broom. Putting through what ever he could think of, he just loved flying. The cake came out. Harry thought it could feed two armys. Life was good!
