Twenty Nine

E m i l y

When lunch time came, I was really thinking about choosing to sit somewhere else but I decided not to, since I didn't want to create a bigger scene.

"Happy birthday Emily!" the twins shouted and stood behind me.

"Thank you guys! What is that?" I asked after they gave me a little box. I opened it and I knew it was going to be some kind of a prank so I tended my hand up before the thing inside could explode. I turned to see them and it was a pie, all over Fred's face. The Gryffindor table started laughing, including me.

"Your loss. This pie is actually amazing!" he said and started licking it from his face.

Then, I heard my howl coming and I looked up noticing that she was holding two packages which left infront of me.

The first one was in a red paper and I ripped it off revealing a book that I have read a thousand of times. Inside I found a note, Love Dad

The other present was badly decorated outside but it didn't matter to me though. I opened it and inside I found a book about Fantastic Beasts and where to find them, Newton Scamander.

I opened it and it was looking different that what I know it does. It had some extra notes inside and more pictures with the first look. I found a note inside, writing with drafty letters happy birthday, Hagrid.

I need to thank him so I will visit him later in the day.

"Hey Emily" Oliver Wood sat next to me on the bench while I was reading.

"Hey" I turned at him closing my book.

"Happy birthday" he said and I smiled replying, "Thank you".

"So what are your plans for today?" he asked interested.

"Well, at the evening I am visiting Hagrid for a little and then nothing I guess" I said and he nodded.

"I was wondering if you wanted to meet tonight, you know the two of us" he said and I nodded smiling.

Since Draco didn't tell me anything about tonight I am going with Oliver.

"Yeah sure" I said and he smiled relieved.

"Great, uhm I will meet you at the common room at eight, okay?" he said and I nodded.

"Yeah see you then" I said and when he left I stood up going to Hagrids.

Before going inside I glanced at Pegasus and threw him an apple I brought with me and then I entered his house.

"Hagrid!" I said and he was stirring something.

"Emily! Happy birthday" he said and hugged me in his big arms.

"Thank you" I smiled and pulled back.

"What are you making ?" I asked and he lower the fire.

"Pumpkin juice. You want some?" he offered.

"No, I am okay" I denied and my eyes shined when I remembered.

"Actually I want to thank you for your book" I said smiling.

"Oh yes, you are welcome. You have noticed that it's different than the others right?" he asked and I nodded quickly, curious of what he will say.

"Well it is because it's the very original. You know when books are given at schools they are processed by Ministry and they tell you only what they want you to know. But this, is an original by Newt Scamander" he explained and I gasped surprised.
