April 21
[Horace Slughorn] finally gives up his memory to [Harry] - thanks to [Felix Felicis] ([HBP22])He races to [Dumbledore]'s study at midnight and together they watch the full memory, discussing [Voldemort], [Horcruxes], and the [prophecy] - along with how [Harry] is going to react to all three ([HBP23]).
We know this happens on April 21 because [Apparition] tests were the same day, and the sign posted in the [Gryffindor common room] in [HBP21] specified the date. This works well with our calendar, too; the 21st is a Monday, we already know from [HBP9] that [Harry] has [Potions] on Mondays, and most of his lessons with [Dumbledore] have happened on Mondays as well.
