Cerise Diggory didn't like annoying people, which is why she tried to avoid the Weasley twins as much as possible, but that seemed nearly impossible with George being made her Divinations partner.

CERISE WAS WOKEN UP BY Loralei screaming the lyrics to Happy Birthday on the second to last day of October. Groaning, Cerise covered her ears and rolled on her side. She just wanted to sleep. Unlike the last few years where Cerise would celebrate her birthday with Loralei and Cho, she was only celebrating it with Loralei. . . In her lessons.
Now, don't get her wrong — She loves Loralei more than she loves herself, which is saying something because Cerise thought she was fucking amazing.
She knew Loralei was a better person than she was, so she knew Loralei would want to go to all of her lessons today.
Sighing, she finally got herself out of bed and had a quick shower. She had time, she probably wasn't going to go to her lessons all day anyway. Why would she? This was a birthday worth celebrating; She was seventeen, finally of age.
Loralei could go to her lessons, Cerise didn't mind.
She could now use magic outside of Hogwarts, she could even place her name in for the Triwizard Tournament if she wanted to. (She wasn't going to anyway, she did not fancy dying any time soon.)
Cerise and Cedric were sat in the common room, accepting gifts off all of their friends; Cedric had the most gifts. Everyone in their house got him a gift. Cerise, however, only had gifts off Loralei, Cedric, Hannah Abbott and Susan Bones.
Cedric got them matching bracelets, Hannah and Susan got her a joint gift as they didn't know her that well, it was only a huge stash of sweets and chocolates. Honestly, Cerise was surprised to have a gift off them, but she was beyond grateful. Especially because it was a sweet stash — she had a huge sweet tooth.
Loralei got her a photoalbum; it was filled with all of their memories. The pictures started from first year, and onwards. As Cerise flicked through the pictures, she couldn't help but frown as she saw a picture with Lee, Fred, George, Loralei and herself. They were all in their matching Weasley sweaters. The next photo, however, was one of Cerise's favourites — Lee had decided to take it, and it was Loralei, Fred, herself and George. They were all partnered up, and they were waltzing around the Great Hall. . . It must've been around one in the morning that night.
Her eyes watered. She missed them, but she wouldn't admit it. She was far too stubborn.
"I have three more gifts to give you," Loralei said, "They aren't from me."
Cerise hoped one of them was from Cho.
The first gift was a reading book; It was Roald Dahl's Matilda. Cerise loved reading in her free time, it kept her mind occupied. After placing the book next to her other gifts, she opened the next one. It was a bottle of Firewhiskey, that had a note attached to it. 'This bottle will refill whenever it's all gone, it will never be empty. Happy birthday', she had no idea who it was from; She couldn't recognise the handwriting.
