The next day Sirius tiptoed into Harrys' bedroom and woke Harry up as Padfoot by licking his face. Harry woke abruptly and pushed him off him. Sirius barked at Harrys' expression and proceeded to jump onto Ron's bed who fell on to the floor in shock. Both Harry and Sirius laughed at how Ron looked. Then the door swung open and in the door way stood Lily and James who both started laughing as well at the sight of the two boys and Sirius "Sirius gave you his traditional birthday wakeup call then" Lily set his breakfast down at the foot of the bed and sat down next to it, "Yup" muttered Harry.
"Next year can you install a lock?" at that Sirius transformed back into a human and said
"What, you don't like my wakeups!" He said in mock outrage. "Next year I shan't bother" and he left the room.
"That would be nice" Harry said under his breath so he wouldn't further hurt Sirius' feelings.
"Does Sirius wake you up like that every year then?" asked Ron, Harry nodded.
"For as long as I can remember." Then he remembered what today meant, Harry eagerly turned to his mum and said
"Has my Hogwarts letter arrived yet?"
"No but I'll go and keep an eye out" she ruffled Harrys' hair playfully as she left and kissed James lightly on the cheek. She stuck her head round the door and said "eat it while its' hot" Harry tucked in, it was delicious, it had runny eggs, two rashers of bacon, a sausage and two slices of bread. Harry made it into a sandwich and proceeded to eat. Ron and James talked until James had to leave for his mission.
Ten minutes later the two boys walked downstairs talking animatedly about what way going to happen that day, Lily had made Ron some pancakes and she had put some chocolate on top, after Ron had finished they heard a tapping on the window. Harry's head shot up and Lily walked to the window, laughing at the boy's eagerness, to let the bird in. It flew straight to Harry and landed in front of him. Ron ran over to him to read over his shoulder.
Harry practically tore the letter off in his enthusiasm. He read the letter and yelled "I'VE BEEN ACCEPTED INTO HOGWARTS" Lily hugged him and said "congratulations darling, now we can go to diagon alley to get your school things" Harry beamed at her "I hope we are both in Gryffindor" said Ron and they started talking about the pros and cons of each house. Lily sent Ron home using floo powder and he disappeared it a burst of flames.
When they arrived at the leaky cauldron no one was around except for the barman, who reached for a glass saying "would you like a drink?"
"No thank you, maybe another time" she said and they hurried out of the pub, when they got to the back yard Lily got her wand out and starting to tap the wall.
