Then the bliss came crashing down when Harry got off the Hogwarts Express and through the barrier back to Kings Cross Station and Uncle Vernon yelled at him “Hurry up boy, Aunt Petunia’s making dinner and I don’t want to be late”. Ron was there with his brothers Fred, George and Bill, also there were Tonks, Kingsley, Lupin and surprisingly McGonagall. XXX Harry thought that this was his best birthday ever, he could not remember ever getting more than a couple of presents from Ron and Hermione. The first three weeks of the holidays went by with nothing extraordinary happening and the highlights of Harry’s days of solitude were when Hermione would write to him and he would write back. Complete darkness was all that Harry could see, he listened intently for any noise to betray who the intruder was. Today however he had received many gifts from different people.
