     Today was the weekend. Charlie was sitting and leaning on a tree behind him by the Black Lake reading a book about Dragons. My head was in Charlie's lap while I tried to make a friendship bracelet. Aubrey and Tonks sat in front of me making their own friendship bracelets.

     "Ugh, why is this so hard," Tonks yelled, her hair turning orange in frustration.

     "It's pretty easy," Aubrey said taking the bracelet from her and easily making a knot.

     "How did you do that, do mine," I asked surprised.

     Aubrey quickly knotted mine. We had all made 2 friendship bracelets each so in our trio, we would get one each from the other 2.

     "Wow, can you believe this," Charlie yelled dropping his book on my face since my head was still in his lap.

     "Ouch," I yelled throwing the book away.

     Charlie looked guilty, "I'm so sorry! Please I didn't mean it, Lilah. I'll get you an ice pack!"

     "Charlie it's fine, it's not like I'm bleeding or anything," I reassured.

     "But you will get a bruise. This is all my fault," Charlie said worriedly.

     "No, it isn't," I said, "Charlie I'll be fine. What was the thing you couldn't believe?"

     "Oh yeah-," Charlie started.

     "Aww," Tonks and Aubrey said together.

     "What," I asked confused.

     "You both are so cute," Aubrey awed.

     Charlie and I both blushed.

     "Alright continued with your thing," Tonks told Charlie.

     Charlie stuttered in the beginning, "Oh y-yeah um...the Romanian Longhorn has 2 golden horns!"

     "Wow that's cool," Aubrey said.

     "Yeah," I agreed.

     "I want a pet dragon one day, they are so cool," Charlie wished.

     That would be a good birthday present for him if dragons weren't illegal to have pets. Charlie's birthday is in December, a few months away but I still couldn't help wonder what to get him for his birthday. 

     "Are you crazy, dragon's are illegal to have as pets," Aubrey said surprised.

     Charlie sighed, "I know, I wish that wasn't the case."

     Hmm...maybe I could save up and take Charlie on a trip to a place with dragons. That would make him happy.

     "Hello, Delilah," Tonks waved yelled waving a hand on my face.

     "Oh yeah, Charlie said he wants a dragon," I said stumbling over my words.

     "No, she said, Felix is coming over," Aubrey said laughing at me.

     "Why does Felix have to ruin my life," I groaned.

     "It's my personal duty Solace, it's the most fun thing to do," Felix said standing over me since I was sitting now.

     I rolled my eyes, "I wonder why, I'm sure you didn't have a fun childhood growing up!"

     "Don't say that," Aubrey defended.

     I stared at her surprised. 

     "I had a better childhood than you, at least I have a father," Felix sneered.
