The other Potter boy

Happy Birthday

The Irish won, but it was close. The Nordic national team had been 140 points ahead when the Irish seeker caught the snitch, winning it by just 10 points! Faith joined in with Lily and Rose’s chanting

“2, 4, 6, 8, the Irish team are really great!” They sang all the way back to the tents, mush to James’ annoyance. Back at the tents Mr Weasley drew his wand and combined the four tents into one big tent, for the celebrations. Lily handed out mugs of her Irish butterbeer whilst Harry and Ron tried to set the fireworks off. Amidst the excitement Faith snuck out the back for some peace and quiet. At the edge of the field a tall blonde woman stood looking at the stars. Faith walked over to join her.

“Hello Faith.” Luna greeted her.

“Hi.” Faith replied, standing beside her friend “You okay?”

“Can I tell you something?” Luna asked, looking at her

“Sure.” Faith shrugged

“Swear you won’t tell a soul, not even Neville!”

“You two still together then!” Faith grinned. Luna rolled her eyes and pulled Faith into the tree’s where they wouldn’t be seen.

“Okay.” Luna took a deep breath “I’m pregnant!”

“What! Oh wow! Congratulations!” Faith exclaimed.

“Shh!” Luna hissed

“and you haven’t told Neville.” Faith sighed. Luna shook her head and looked at her feet. “You’ve got to tell him! I promise to keep it quiet, but you’ve got to promise to tell Neville.” Faith snapped. Luna nodded and smiled at Faith,

“Thanks.” She hugged Faith.

“Luna! Luna!” a voice called from nearby.

“Its Neville!” Luna whispered, frightened

“Tell him now, go on!” Faith encouraged her

“Okay, wish me luck.” Luna sighed, Faith nodded and gave Luna a nudge out of the trees. Creeping over behind a tent, she pulled out one of the original,vintage extendable-ears.

“N-Nev. I-I’ve got to tell you something.” She heard Luna stutter “I-I’m pregnant” Faith grinned, pulling the extendable ears.

“You know we’ve updated them.” A voice came from behind her. Faith turned to see George standing with an almost identical ear in his hand. “HD sound, and…” George let the ear out at a nearby tent and the moment its began to stretch out, it disappeared “Triggered Disillusionment charm” George grinned, flicking it back in. “Happy Birthday!” He handed her a few of the updated ears. Faith glanced at her watch, realising it was past midnight.

“Thanks!” She laughed, taking the ears.

“It was you guys who inspired them.” George told her. Faith looked at him questioningly. George laughed “Your amazing use of them in the Three Broomsticks on Valentines day. Nev told us!” Faith joined in his laughter.

“He knew all along!” She exclaimed

“They both did!” George nodded “C’mon, I think they’ve got a surprise for you.” Faith gave him a puzzled look as he took her back to the tent.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” a loud cheer rang out as she re-entered, to find an Irish style birthday cake out on the table, and Irish birthday flags hung from the tent poles.

“Lily!” Faith exclaimed, remembering Lily’s idea from that morning.

“It was James’ idea actually.” Lily admitted

“Happy birthday.” James whispered in her ear, as he hugged her from behind. Faith blew out the candles on her cake, which was chocolate under the icing, and opened her presents. James had bought her a pair of earings to match the necklace he’d got her last year, Rose and Albus had come together to get her some fancy Irish Quidditch boots and gloves, Lily had got her a broom servicing kit and the latest vesion of Quidditch through the ages (Version 5) and Paulina had bought her a gorgeous Irish quill case and Journal.

The next morning they returned to 12 Grimmauld place, to get ready for the new school year. Faith made sure to pack her presents, along with the practise quaffle her parents had bought her. Mrs Weasley was too busy checking that Ron and Harry were ready to go to work each morning so the kids managed to make the most of their summer lie-ins! Faith just couldn’t wait to go back to school!
