May 2nd is today. May 2nd is my birthday. I hate my birthday. It means I'm getting older and I don't want to get older. I want to stay young forever. You get away with so much. No body was in the dorm that morning, in fact there was only the people in the paintings in Gryffindor Tower. I walk down to the great hall. The doors are closed. It was quiet. That's very odd. Have I woken up too late? Maybe everyone is in lessons already. No, Hermione would have dragged me out by the hair if she had to. So where is everyone. Not even the Slytherins,Ravenclaws or the Hufflepuffs around. Nobody in the halls. Nobody anywhere. I take a hold to one of the door handles and push the door in. As soon as I pushed the door in I saw everyone. Suddenly the all started singing Happy Birthday. I start to laugh as the Weasley Twins stand up on the tables.Everyone follows even the Slytherins are singing Everyone's singing ,even the Professors, well a few people aren't like Dean ,Pansy and Professor Snape. As they finish the song every cheers as a cupcake flies in front of my face. A small candle lit. I blow it out and everyone cheers again. I go and sit down next to Neville. "Happy Birthday" He says hugging me. "I thought ye all had left me" I said panting
A few minutes later Hermione hands me a box. "Happy 14th Birthday" She says smiling. "Oh...you didn't have to" I say undoing the ribbon on the outside. Inside a necklace with a phoenix holding onto the two chains. Its beautiful. "That's your patronus right?" She asks. I nod taking it out of the book. "Hermione this is beautiful. Thank you" I say leaning over and hugging her. "Oh and Ron asked me to give you this" She says pulling out a chocolate frog box. She hands over the box and walks away. I open the chocolate frog box and take out the card. Salazar Slytherin. Although I loathe the man I keep the card anyways. We have a great time at breakfast. Okay,maybe sometimes I like my birthday.
About an hour later we're standing in Professor Lupin's class. A wardrobe almost stands at the top of the classroom. I say almost because whatever's in it jumps around knocking the from wardrobe side to side. Professor Lupin walks around the classroom. "Can anyone tell me what that is?" He asks. "That's a boggart that is" Dean says. Merlin, even hearing his voice annoys me. Hermione starts babbling on about boggarts. "Thank you Miss Granger. Now there is a very simple charm to repel them. Repeat after me Riddikulus." Lupin says. Every repeats it. "This class is riddikulus" Draco says elbowing Crabbe. "See the incantation isn't enough you need to force it to assume a shape you find amusing. So what really finishes a boggart is laughter."Professor Lupins says with his hands in his pants pockets. I roll my eyes as Professor Lupin calls Neville up to the top of the room. "Nevile what frightens you most of all" Lupin asks. Neville mumbles something. "Sorry?" Lupin asks. "Professor Snape" Neville says as the whole class bursts out into laughter. I elbow Ron into the side and he stops laughing. After the laughter dies down. "I believe you live with your grandmother". "Yes but I don't want that boggart to turn into her either" Neville says. Another spout of laughter rings out. "No it wont I want you to picture her clothes,only her clothes,very clearly in your mind." "She carries a red handbag-" "We don't need to hear as long as you see it we will. When I open the wardrobe here's what I want you to do" Lupin says before bending down and whispering into Neville's ear. Neville nods.
"Wands at the ready. One,two,three" Lupin says opening the wardrobe. Professor Snape walks out. I mean the boggart the boggart walks out. Neville shouts "Riddikulus". With a slight movement of his wand Snape was now wearing a green skirt and coat,a huge feather hat and holding a red handbag. "Very Good, next" Everyone gets into a line. Ron goes next after he says the spell the spider that once stood in front of him was wearing roller-skates. Parvati or is it Padma goes next turning a snake into a jack in the box. Everyone goes until its just me and Harry. I have to say people are afraid of a lot of weird things,for instance Hermione's is getting failed by Professor Mcgonagall. "Come on Charlotte go next"Lupin says ushering me to the boggart. "Do I have to?" I ask. "Would you like a detention?" Professor Lupin jokes. I pull out my wand bracing my self for the worst. I take a deep breath as Séamus's banshee starts to change. I could have fainted when I saw what it was. Of course it would be. Lord Voldemort. I drop my wand in the shock of it all. Gasps come from around the room. I can't stop myself from running out of the classroom. I keep running till I reach a balcony I lean over it holding onto the barrier. My breathing fast and short. I feel a little too warm so I pull up my sleeves on my jumper.
"I thought Gryffindor's were supposed to be brave" I hear a voice say from behind me.I gasp to see Draco. He walks up to me handing me my wand. "That was different" I say still panting. "I knew that was The Dark Lord. I may not be a Ravenclaw but I'm not that stupid" He says. "I thought if I was to ever face him I was going to be ready" I say looking down. "But?" Draco asks. "But that was terrifying. I know Gryffindors are supposed to be brave but I couldn't do it. I'm failing at being Gryffindor too" "Char you're not a bad Gryffindor. How many Gryffindor's could have taken on a dementor?How many Gryffindors could have kept playing a game after getting an iron ball to the head?" Draco says putting his hand on my cheek. He tilts my head up so I'm looking into his eyes. Something about his grey eyes seem different. His eyes glimmering in the light from the sun. I can feel his breath on my skin. He pushes his lips against mine. This kiss was different from any other kiss before. It was a kiss that shocked me a bit. Draco hates me. Is this a dream? I like it though its passionate. Draco pulls away his lips so our foreheads are still touching. Draco a little out of breath says "Happy Birthday"
