I do not own Harry Potter or Naruto

As for today, this here is a break from the story in honor of Harry's Birthday.

A Birthday to Remember

Unsuspecting at what was being planned, Harry found himself out with Kakashi and TenTen doing some dual training. The older working on stamina and fitness for which he duly needed and appreciated. The younger was going through moves alongside him in staff usage. Which ironically, he was pretty good at. With the food he had picked up for himself and Naruto to eat as he had to get his cousin off of Ramen. Both were getting substantially more in shape and healthier.

Gazing down at his clothes he had to admit he was glad those first few days, that Naruto made him go shopping. With not even half of his wizarding money taken, (it was more like a third), he had brought several shirts and pants with Naruto's help. Considering what they normally do, Harry found himself buying some shinobi gear as well from Tenten's father. Some shuriken and kunai to practice and work with, as well as the staff he was currently using. For defense the wizard teen bought some mesh armor shirts as well to wear when in Konoha,

Finding out that staves were okay for a wizard to have from the headmaster had made TenTen's day. She had been thinking what to besides throwing things that could help him out (his aim was decent not like hers though) and a staff was permitted. Happy to get him the best one herself, the girl with the buns in the hair, showed him how he could use it to his advantage. Especially as the Headmaster had said Ollivander would be willing to put the cores from his wand into it for a small fee.

A smile on his face at the ideas, he could do for spell work and defending himself as he goes through the katas, she had shown him.

Working as he was, he did not notice as several teens led by Naruto and Remus snuck up behind him. All of them bearing some kind of gift for him. They approached with almost pure silence until it comes time for their prey of sorts to notice they were there. Kakashi, spying them he deftly gets out of the way as does TenTen long enough for Harry to whirl around at the shout of "HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARRY!"

Having told his cousin his birthday was coming up; he was definitely not expecting his newfound friends giving him a surprise party. A smile on his lips, as to him he knows this is the first real party he has ever had. Usually trapped with the Dursleys at the time of it before, all he could do was receive presents through his window. Never really allowed out or even to celebrate it. He finds himself smiling with joy as they give him gifts of all kinds.

Receiving scrolls of stuff, he can do, books, clothes, and even a few more weapons to supply himself with. He also received something via Sakura from Tsunade and Jiraiya. A metal plate etched with a phoenix symbol on it.

"Well Harry-kun, they said since we come from the Village in the Leaves, we could not exactly give you one of ours, but we came up with a name for you. You come from the village of the Phoenix." TenTen smiled. "It was Naruto's idea for this." She stated happily as she hands him a present from her which was some specialized seal scrolls for the weapons he could carry among other things.

Grinning like mad, the blonde smiled as he handed him something. Curious to what it was as it was wrapped. The teen found himself with pictures of him interacting with Naruto and his new friends. Not just any kind of pictures but wizarding ones that moved.

"Uncle kind of helped me do it. I wanted you to remember us when you had to go back to Hogwarts."

All of them nodding their heads, including their teachers who had shone up where he was. Harry found himself feeling the joy of what a true birthday with family could be. This time pulling into a hug, he replies with joy.

"How the hell would I not remember you guys. Thanks Naruto."

Nodding his head happily the blonde grinned as did Remus who had continued to teach him during his stay. Still working with the Inuzuka the older man was being watched by Kiba at the moment. As Moony was still fighting a bit but slowly Remus had been gaining control with some aspects of Moony emerging in his face with the clan's aide. His eyes had turned from a normal brown to a golden color that was startling at first. But Kiba's mom said that was to be expected when controlling your inner animal. There was even talk that one of their dogs had taken an interest in the man. Always barked and wagged when he approached. (Another fact, Kiba had told him later that his mom had taken a shine to Remus) That was going to be interesting to say the least.

"Happy Birthday Harry!" They all said again as it was that moment, Fawkes popped into existence. First time for some pf the shinobi seeing the fiery bird while others had gotten used to it. Harry found himself even gathering even more presents from his friends back at Hogwarts. Among them homemade food from Mrs. Weasley among other candies and cakes. More books and even some new broom supplies to keep it sleek. Remembering when he took Naruto flying was definitely an experience. Same with TenTen, thinking about that time, he pinkens just a little. Going back to the party though he watches and grin at their antics.

The cakes and candies being spied by Chouji, who wanted to try them. Harry laughs as Sakura and Naruto smile with knowing expressions as Remus gave a piece much to the big guy's delight. Handing out some frogs as well as Bertie Botts every flavor jellybean. The group started a little party right there. Their sanseis entering, it is when he meets those who taught his new friends, Asuma, Gai, and Kurenai.

Finding himself being offered some training from them as a birthday present to help him when he has to go back. Harry realizes one thing as he accepts.

That for his birthday he got the best birthday present ever as he looks around. Kiba trying to catch a frog that jumps out of his hands. Chouji making a face along Ino, both of which it seems not liking the jellybean flavor as he sees both with little boxes. Naruto and Sakura laughing, as Neji and Lee try out a joke from the twins and turning into a big yellow bird. Even Shino despite his features, seemed to be laughing at the sight. Hinata trying not to but failing was giggling as the yellow bird shot her a dirty look before shedding the feathers revealing her cousin. Shikamaru was flipping through some books curiously as Remus talked to the shinobi quizzing him about his state.

It was at that time Tsunade and Jiraiya came as they were running late and brought Teuchi and his daughter Ayame with them. With a makeshift picnic about to happen as even more food was brought out. (Much to Chouji's delight.) Harry found himself dragged to the blanket and given a bowl of ramen to eat.

All in all, these people and his teachers did the same thing Hogwarts did, but with one more step that made it the best.

Thanks, Naruto, for being my family. That still is the best present ever.
