The morning sky was blanketed with an eerie fog that broke only to let the deepest ray of sunshine on the glorious castle. Zinnia thought to herself that maybe today the all powerful weather would be forgiving and kind, she thought the chilling mist might have just made an exception today to allow a gleaming yellow light on the cold stone.
The morning was the 19th of September, this morning Hermione would turn fifteen. Zinnia loved her friends' birthdays as she would go to great lengths to ensure the happiness of the people around her.
The day was filled with glorious laughter as the friends took the time they had on the weekend to celebrate the girl. The entire Weasley family and Beaumont family wished the girl a happy birthday. Zinnia had done the honour of buying her her own copy of 'Great Wizards of the Twentieth Century', to which Hermione shared a great appreciation for by almost tackling Zinnia to the ground in a hug.
Hermione and Zinnia found themselves sprinting between Ron and Harry in the midst of celebration as neither of them were willing to put away their differences for the day, this earned a gleaming scolding from Zinnia at the two's selfish actions. Zinnia and Hermione spent the rest of their day soaking up the sun that the clouds had most generously gifted them that afternoon.
"Don't worry about them Hermione, they're just being idiots and I bet in no time they'll come running to you begging on their knees with an apology" Zinnia stated, her eyes squinted from the sun as they both lay on the grass.
"It's not even that, I'm just so worried for Harry, God knows what he will have to do '' Hermione worried as usual. Eyebrows furrowed in concern.
"We're forgetting about that today, today is a triwizard free day" Zinnia knocked off the girl's worry, keen for her to have a perfect birthday and not just concern herself with others like she always did.
"You know, your problems don't just go away if you stop thinking about them" Hermione explained to the girl with an amused smile
"Says who?" Zinnia lifted herself from her relaxed position
"Anyone ever" Hermione laughed at the girl
"Yeah well right now I wouldn't mind if I could simply not think about my problems" she muttered through closed teeth into her lap.
"And what exactly does that mean?" Hermione concerned herself with the girl's business.
"It'll go away, i'm sure" Zinnia denied
"What? Tell me right now" Hermione demanded
"No." Zinnia simply replied. Refusing to share any of her problems with anyone.
"Too bad, it's my birthday and you have to do what I say." Hermione planted herself closer to the refusing girl. Zinnia took a deep breath, hesitant to share her worries and feelings with anyone, even if it was only Hermione.
