The birthday

Harry and John's sixth birthday approached as not much happened before. Except the occasional accidental magic from John. The boys were treated in much the same way and occasionally John would be favored though Harry never knew and was too young to think about it. Public places where they went with John as a celebrity, the boy-who-lived, Harry wasn't taken along and was always put to sleep with the help of a charm.

Though his parents did feel a little guilty about that, so they sometimes took Harry to the muggle though Harry was extraordinary intelligent for being such a small child, he could not perceive that his parents would favor John often...yet.

Both Harry and John rushed down the stairs from their rooms on their birthday eager to see what they would get. Even after some pushing and shoving, they both reached the living room door at exactly the same time.

"SURPRISE!" Everybody yelled just as they entered, which wasn't saying there were many people. Only Remus, and Peter were invited along with their parents.

Harry eagerly went up to meet everybody while John ran straight for the stack of presents. Peter didn't so much as look at Harry before hurrying off before John. Harry got a hug from both parents and Remus as he settled down on a seat.

"John! cake first, presents later." Lily called John over as everybody began to settle around the cake that said "Harry John-day" in some lame attempt by James to say Happy Birthday. Well, his marauder spirit was still in him. Everybody became ready as both Harry and John were about to blow the candles.

I wish I get a broom for my birthday John thought while idly seeking a glance at the pile of presents.

I am happy as it is. I don't need any stupid wishes. Harry thought not knowing that his life was about to take a turn. Or maybe it was already on a turn, he just hadn't noticed it.

After blowing the candles, cutting the cake and singing Happy Birthday quite a few times along with kisses from Lily everyone went over to the presents on John's insistence.

The first present opened was from Peter. He had gotten John a child's wand, which when you wave it, sent out colored sparks. Naturally John was pretty excited. When Harry asked where his present was, Peter became uneasy. He put his hand in his pocket and took out a stick.

"Here you go, sorry it hasn't got the enchantments but you could play with it just as well." Harry just stared at Peter knowing something was off as he put the stick on the table. As John went to open his next present, nobody noticed the stick vanishing...as if it was conjured and the magic had wore off.

Remus gave both boys small money boxes, each enlarged inside. "Now that you have grown up, you can start having some money." Remus added cheerily giving each a galleon to put in their boxes. Both boys were happy with the gift and now turned to the remaining gifts from their parents.

James picked up the last two presents and thrust one in each of their hands. "WOW! Thanks daddy" John had already torn his presents' wrapping to reveal a miniature broom. He was hugging his dad with one arm while the broom with the other.

Harry had carefully unwrapped his package to receive a board game named Risk. What's this daddy?" Harry asked looking sceptically at his gift.

"It's a muggle board game son, your mum and Remus used to play it if I remember correctly." James replied. "That's right James, and you wouldn't ever play a muggle game." Lily replied.
