31st july 1991

Harry woke up to kisses being planted all over his face. He moved his face away from the tickling sensation of hair strands, but they keep poking his nose and ears. Then came the whispering voice,

"Wake up, birthday boy"

"Five minu-"

"No, no, no. Don't even try, young man. I know it's your birthday, but you still have to get up" Lily pulled him up to a sitting position.

"And why will I do that, for the exact same reason. It's my birthday I may do whatever I want, you can't hold me back on my day" Harry huskily replied.

"Oh, that's when you're with father. But it's not gonna work on me. Now, get up, get ready and be down for breakfast before your father leaves for work. Okay" At his nod she kissed his forehead and then both the cheeks.

She stopped at the door frame as she was about to leave, "and yeah, a very happy birthday big boy. You may get your letter today, so that's one more reason to come down now"

This perked him up, his eyes lightened and his mood lifted. From hearing all about Hogwarts for the last two and half years, he was so eager to get his entry letter. He even met one of the professors, the giant one, he was huge and hairy. Hagrid, Harry thought his name was.

He did his morning routine, took the shower and went to get ready for the day. He wore a trouser and opened his cupboard for a jumper when his eyes fell on a green paper wrapped package on his study table. Furthermore, he ripped of the wrapping to reveal a green shirt with muggle style patterns on it. He immediately put it on and ran downstairs.

As soon as he came down, he ran to the kitchen and hugged his mom, who was working on breakfast and tea.

"Thank you for the shirt" He muttered as he broke off and sat on his usual spot on the dining table.

"How can you tell it's by me" Lily asked, raising eyebrows at him.

"If dad gave me a shirt, it will be animalistic" Harry answered, knowing his dad's fashion sense.

"Now, now, don't say that. He might he-" Lily's statement was cut off by a voice from the patio door.

"Heard that, kid" James came into the kitchen, finished with his workout.

He came up to Harry and hugged him, "I may not have a great dress sense as your mother here, but I do have some crazy ideas with endless money supply, so I'm sure you'd like what I've got for you. Happy birthday, Harry." He kissed his son's hair.

"Thanks dad. What you've got then" He asked looking around for a package or gift wrap.

"It's not here. And now is not the proper time, too. So, first let's finish breakfast, then we'll think about it." James said, ushering him towards the table and himself walking upstairs for a shower.

A few minutes later, the family of three were finishing their breakfast. James was reading up daily prophet, while Lily was instructing Mikey and Minnie about the cake and party.

Harry was fondling with the spoon when an unfamiliar owl flew into the room and dropped a letter into his lap. His face lit up with a bright smile as he looked towards his mum, who gave him a knowing look. James too left the prophet and came beside him to read the letter over his shoulder.

Harry open up the letter and started reading out loud,
