... years younger. The other animals were stirring now, and one by one, transformed back to human. Harry studied Remus carefully. "Did it work?" he asked, his gaze worried. Remus' smile widened. "Congratulations, Harry. Your changes were brilliant. I feel better than I have in years." Harry grinned. "That's great, Remus." Ginny gave him a hug. You hear that, Harry? You're brilliant. Harry shrugged mentally. Snape helped, he protested. Ginny shook her head as they all started to head back inside. You were the one who came up with the improved potion. Snape just helped you brew it. Your inferiority complex needs to stop, Harry. You're amazing, just embrace it. Harry blushed slightly, but didn't reply as they entered the Castle to get ready for the day ahead. XXX Summer continued to pass as Harry and his friends kept busy. There were Order meetings that the adults had to attend, but they also met together with Harry and his friends once a week, to discuss their own plans and observations.

The morning was spent playing Quidditch, and after a remarkable buffet prepared by the house elves, Harry and Neville spent most of the afternoon opening gifts. Neville's were, of course, mostly Herbology related, while Harry received many books in various subjects. Both teenagers enjoyed the day; they spent so much of their time training, it was nice to take a day off to just relax. XXX The next day, Harry and his friends were eating breakfast after their morning run, when a tap at the window drew their attention. Hermione squealed excitedly, hurrying to let in several owls. "It's our results!" she exclaimed. "I can't believe I forgot about them!" She passed out letters to Harry, Ron, Neville, and Susan.
