Perfect just the way you are

"Mum wanted a girl." I said simply, "She'd already had five boys. Bill was her oldest, Charlie second, Percy her third what was different with the twins was well, they were twins I suppose. And then bang I come into the picture and I'm another boy so she has to try again and Ginny was clearly a girl. So I was the one who disappointed her. I always disappoint her..." I sighed.

"Ron you're not a disappointment." Blaise said softly. "Has your mother ever said that to you?"

"No but she shows it. And every other one of my family members is so successful, Bill works at Gringotts, Charlie's in Romania, Percy's in the ministry, Fred and George are building their joke shop, Ginny's a girl. And what am I? Just a screw up."

"I'm not going to try and convince you those things aren't true because I know it won't work but you shouldn't not celebrate the day you were born because of it. Your birthday was not the worst day of your mothers life, sometimes I think that too you know. But then I remember that there are so many people that I know now that love me. Like you, and if you weren't born we would have never met Ron. See your birthday as the day that you created a future for yourself. Because you did, just by opening your eyes."

"Do you still speak to your Mum?" I asked and Blaise shrugged.

"She didn't come to visit me in the hospital wing so I assume she and my father don't want anything to do with me anymore. But I alright with that, they weren't very good parents anyway."

"I'm sorry." I said softly and Blaise smiled sadly.

"Hey it's alright. Sometimes I'd kill to have a loving family like yours. But then I remember yet again, if I everything hadn't planned out like it had already we may not have ever got these marks or even met. And I count my lucky stars that we did, because I don't know what I'd do without you anymore."

"Me neither." I smiled a genuine smile.

"I love you Ron Weasley."

"Correction Ron Zabini." I said laughing. Blaise pressed his lips to mine softly.

"My bad. I love you Ron Zabini."

"I love you too." I wrapped my arms around Blaise's neck and he pressed his lips to mine again. It was a soft slow kiss, something that happened a lot with us but not usually before what was about to follow.

"You're beautiful." He said softly as I lay down still connected to Blaise who was between my legs. I blushed slightly.

"After all we've been through you still manage to make me blush Blaise Zabini." I said and he chuckled pulling away to hover slightly apart from me.

"I love you." He said and I bit my lip.

"I love you too."

I woke up to Blaise's arm around my waist his chest pressed into my back. I smiled but it faded when I realised it was morning. I slipped out of his arms and sat up sighing.

"Happy birthday to me." I stood up collecting my clothes from last night and throwing them in the wash basket to be spelled clean later. I couldn't be bothered with it right now. I checked the time. It was still only 6am. I needed a walk.

I went to leave the common room wrapped up warm since it was still quite cold and snowy here at Hogwarts when I heard something tap at the window. I saw Errol sitting there a letter in his beak and something tied around his foot. I opened the window and let him in.

"Managed not to hit the window this time mate or did I miss it." I said untying the package and taking the letter out of his beak. I'd open the gift later but I was interested to see what the letter said. Mum never sent a letter there was usually just a small label on the present.

Errol watched me as I opened the letter pulling out the piece of parchment scanning my eyes over the page.

Dear Ron,

Happy Birthday dear. We've saved up for something we know you wanted of course and I hope Errol hasn't ruined it but there's something else extra in there for you. We love you so much.

Remember to shut your doors properly, Ginny and the others heard everything. You never disappoint us and you are not a screw up. I'm sorry I made you feel this way dear. Please tell me if you feel like this ever again. I'll try and do better. Say hello to Blaise from us.

From Mum and Dad x

My heart stopped. They had heard everything, Blaise hadn't shut the door properly. And Ginny told Mum.

"One second." I said to Errol grabbing a piece of spare parchment from the coffee table and scribbling everything down fast.

Dear Mum,

Ignore everything I said you are the perfect mother. I'm the one who needs to be better. I love you so much and I can't wait to see you this summer. Thank you for coming to visit me when I hurt my leg, I realise now that some peoples parents wouldn't have done that. You are perfect just the way you are. I'm sorry for making you feel like you aren't.

From Ron xx

I attached it the Errol's leg and watched him fly off.

Now I really needed a walk.
