CEP's POV
Harry arrived the dining room to find his group of friends, which included the Marauders, the Head Boy, Sissy's older brother, the Lestrange brothers and Sirius' younger brother.
"Wha...? Why is everyone here?"
"Did you get our gifts?" James asked instead and the Malfoys looked back confused.
"I... yes... but, I told you guys I don't do anything more than just gifts at midnight and..."
"You also don't do hugs." Sirius retorted and stood up, approaching and pulling him into a bone-breaking hug. "Happy adoption-day, Kari."
"What?" Uncle Abraxas asked.
Harry turned deep red.
"Kari was taught to celebrate his birthdate on the day he was adopted by the James." Ron supplied. "The Muggle Uncle and Aunt taught him to not celebrate it, but this is the day that he recognises as his birthdate. We started calling it adoption-date since it's not really his birthdate."
"James?" James asked as Sirius released Harry, only for Hermione to take his place.
"Kari was once called Harry James." Ron agreed.
"You could have at the least combed your hair." Hermione reprimanded into Harry's ear, who turned deep red.
Sissy stood and approached, took hold onto Harry's hair from behind and quickly braided it down his back. When Sissy was done he was pulled to sit by the table besides his friends.
"If you guys were planning a secret party, why did you send the gifts at midnight?" Harry asked shyly as he heard Aunt Genevieve quickly warning Dobby quietly to set up the ballroom.
"You would have realized if we hadn't." Remus offered. "And the Potters just managed to persuade my parents to let me come last Saturday. It was a last minute setup."
"Why wouldn't... you didn't tell them you were coming to Malfoy Manor, did you?"
"Not exactly." Remus agreed embarrassed. "And... I didn't feel so well last Wednesday." He added pointedly.
Harry nodded, understanding what he meant.
"Don't worry, you'll never have to pass it alone ever again."
Remus frowned and stared back confused.
"What did you do?"
"Nothing life-threatening." Harry supplied amused and Remus only frowned harder.
"Can you guys speak English?" James demanded.
"I can speak Slytherin if you want." Harry offered. "Or Hera can speak book-language. She's good at that."
