It was 30 January, a Saturday, and... MY BIRTHDAY! I went down to the common room and saw Elsa and Neville whispering.

"Hey, guys," I greeted, and they stopped whispering and looked up at me like deer caught in headlights for a few seconds, then Elsa cautiously said,

"...Hello, Phillip."

"Act casual," Neville whispered, nudging her.

"Hi Phil!" Elsa then exclaimed.

"What's going on?" I asked suspiciously.

"He's onto us! Run!" Elsa said, and she and Neville bolted out the common room.

"Wait, guys!" I ran out of the common room after them, and saw that they weren't there. "Hmm... Strange..." I murmured before I went to the Great Hall for breakfast.

It's now almost dinner, and I haven't seen Jamie, Draco, Dan, Elsa, or Neville all day.

"Honestly, and you'd think that they'd remember that it was my birthday," I muttered as I entered the common room.

"SURPRISE!" I heard a group of people shout, and I looked up to see Elsa, Jamie, Dan, Draco, and Neville.

"You remembered!" I beamed.

"Of course we remembered!" Dan pulled me in for a hug and kissed my cheek.

"Yeah, you didn't think we forgot, did you?" Jamie teased as she then gave me a hug.

"Happy Birthday." Draco gave me a handshake, being the anti-hug person (except Jamie apparently) he was.

"Neville, I think we played it off pretty well," Elsa said as she and Neville pulled me in for a hug.

"Oh, please." I laughed. "You guys were so suspicious this morning!"

"Were not!" Elsa interjected.

"Come on! Cake!" Neville pulled me towards the table.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Phil! Happy birthday to you!" they all sang as I cut the chocolate cake.

"I would say blow out the candles but we couldn't find any," Jamie told me.

"That's alright. I already got what I wanted." I grinned as Dan wrapped his arm around me.

Valentine's Day.

I hate this day.

Already half the girls in the school had given love potions to their crushes.

So desperate.

The six of us were lounging around in Neville's dorm, bored out of our minds.

"So, Dan. Phil. Doing anything today?" Elsa asked slyly (or at least, what she thought was slyly).

"Yeah. I planned a dinner for us tonight." Phil blushed.

"What about you, Neville?" Elsa winked at the brunet.
