"WAKE UP, SLEEPY HEAD!" Lily chanted on the top of her lungs. It was already Saturday, Angelina's sixteenth birthday. For the past two days, Angelina tried to avoid everybody even Tom. The morning after the nightmare was harmonious, Angelina woke up in Tom's arms, who was awakened before her, and then she sort of distanced herself from everyone for a while. Now, most of her friends stood in her dorm forming a small crowd and singing her a happy birthday.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGELINA!" Everyone chanted. Angelina sat against her bed with an amused smile, her birthday mornings got wilder by the years. She started to clap dramatically and grinned like a cheshire cat, and then she laughed.

"You guys are ridiculous but thank you. I appreciate this so much." She answered truthfully. Tom moved out of the doorway and made his way to Angelina's bed, he gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Happy Birthday, Angel." He whispered into her ear and sat next to her, Angelina got chills from his voice — she loved it, soft yet deep. Everyone had seated themselves somewhere in her dorm and it seemed like Lily was digging through a huge pile of clean Slytherin uniforms like a dog looking for its bone.

"Ah, found it!" Lily announced as she held up a box and walked to Angelina.

"What is this, Lily?" she asked as Lily handed her the box that was wrapped in emerald green wrapping paper.

"Open it and see." Lily squealed, "I know you'll love it."

"We'll see about that." Angelina replied as she tugged at the white ribbon that was perfectly tied in a knot, and then she carefully tore of the wrapping paper off the box. A luxurious looking box was revealed it read 'Robe Works' and the text was floating magically. Lily did a excited clap, " Open it already, Angelina."

So she did, a dress was revealed, well a folded one. It was black and had lace on the front, Angelina set the box to the side and then picked the dress out of the box delicately and stood up. She held the dress against her body and looked in the mirror; everyone's eyes were on her. 

"Lily, I love this. Thank you so much." Angelina put the dress back into the box and hugged Lily.

"You're supposed to wear this tonight, y'know!" Lily said. Angelina's head snapped to her.

"Don't you think that it's too cold to wear a dress?" she said to Lily.

"Oh no, it's not." Lily deadpanned her,

" Even if it's cold, Zeus' gift can protect you from the cold. Come on Zeus, she needs her birthday attire together."

Zeus moved forward, he had a bag from the same shop in his hands. He handed it to Angelina and she thanked him.

"I insisted him on buying this, it goes perfectly with your dress." Lily gushed, she surely did love fashion. Angelina pulled out a long black coat out of the bag, it was the perfect pair with the short dress Lily had gotten her.

"I love it, thanks Zeus." Angelina said, she could feel Tom staring at her.

"Okay so, that's all for now! Show's over boys, we'll see you all for brunch." Lily instructed the boys. They all saluted in return except Tom and left the room.

"Now, let's start getting you ready." Lily said whilst rubbing her hands, "Tonight you're going to shine baby." Both of the girls, giggling, stood on the bed and the dramatically fell into the soft mattress of Angelina's bed.

"Where are my tights, Lily?" Angelina asked Lily.

"I don't know, check the middle drawer or the chest." Lily said as she was using her wand to charm her hair.
