WolfStar Raises Harry Potter

Birthdays And Memories Part 2

As time drew closer and closer to the time for the party to start, Sirius and Remus made sure everything would be perfect for Harry's birthday. Harry had over heard Remus mention something about guests and Harry was excited but nervous as well.

There was a knock heard at the door and Remus went to answer it. Upon opening the door, Harry could see a sea of flaming orange hair, and there were lots of noisy kids trailing behind the two parents that happily greeted Sirius and Remus. Harry slowly approached his dads and stood between them, looking up at the freckled faces standing before him.

"Hello Harry dear, I'm Molly Weasley, very good friends of your godfathers here. And this is my husband Arthur, my eldest sons Charlie, Bill, and Percy, my twins Fred and George, my son whose right around your age, Ron, and my daughter Ginny." Harry looked up at all of them, trying to match names to faces as he earned a chorus of 'hellos' from the Weasley family.

"Why don't you go and play pup" Sirius says and smiles down at Harry as he and Remus walk into the kitchen with Molly, Arthur, and the three oldest Weasley boys. Harry nods and looks at the twins, Ron, and Ginny. He shyly smiles at them and Ron smiles at him,

"It's nice to finally meet you Harry, we've heard so much about you!" Ron says and earns a scowl from Fred, or the twin Harry assumed to be Fred.

"Oi, remember what Mum said" he quietly says to his younger brother. Ron flushes red and awkwardly scratches the back of his neck,

"Oh... R-right" he mumbles. Harry look between the two, a little bit confused. Harry changes the subject by suggesting that they go and play. The twins suggest Quidditch, which he had heard Sirius and Remus talk about, but he didn't know much about it.

The twins explained the rules of Quidditch to him and Harry thought it sounded fun. Ron suggests that Harry could come to the Burrow, the Weasley's house, to play sometime.

They continue the discussion until Remus tells them that some other guests had arrived and that he wanted Harry to meet them before they had cake. Harry followed Remus back out to the kitchen and saw three tall figures chatting happily with Sirius and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, one of the figures hunched over so that their head wouldn't collide with the ceiling. When Remus and Harry entered the room all eyes seemed to be on him.

"Mr. Harry Potter I presume?" Asked one of the tall figures. Harry noted that he had a calm and deep voice, and that he was wearing dark midnight purple robes, as well as half-moon spectacles that were perched on the end of his crooked nose.

"Y-Yes sir" Harry says timidly, nervous around the new comers.

"It's a pleasure to see you again. I haven't seen you since you were but a year old. Oh- how could I be so rude as to forget to introduce myself. My name is Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, but you may call me Dumbledore, that is until you attend Hogwarts, in which case I will be headmaster or professor, whichever you prefer." He says with a soft smile down at Harry. Harry does his best to remember all of that.

Harry looks at the other two and a tall woman bearing a emerald green robe and had her long graying hair tied back in a tight bun approaches him, "it's been a few years since I last saw you as well Mr. Potter. My name is Minerva McGonagal, but please feel free to call me-"

"Minnie", Sirius says with a chuckle and then clears his throat when he is given a scowl from McGonagal.

"Feel free to call me Professor McGonagal." She says and smiles a little. Harry nods and looks up at her, "alright professor." Harry then notices the largest of the three approach him. He looks up and sees a large man with a large bushy beard, large hands and feet and a height that seemed impossible for the average man to achieve, even when standing on a hair.

"'Ello, 'arry" He says gruffly and beams down at him, "yah prob'ly don' 'member me, but mah names Hagrid" he says and continues to wear the smile. "Professor Dumbledore thought it'd be a good idea ter stop by fer yer birthday." He says happily and looks at Dumbledore and McGonagal happily.

"Oh, thank you, really." Harry says and smiles up at them, relaxing a bit and feeling more at ease now that he knew them.

Sirius then announces that it's time for cake and he and Remus got the cakes out and served everyone slices. Once they were done eating Harry got to open his presents. He had received a large supply of wizarding candy and homemade treats from the Weasley's, some treats from Hagrid, a photo from his parents from Professor McGonagal, a Hogwarts school flag, a small toy broom that he could ride, some books and new clothes, as well as many more toys and treats from Sirius and Remus. Harry was happy to say that this was by far the best birthday party he had ever had.
