It had been a couple days since I replied to the letters I got. Thank go I got no reply off my mother. Knowing her, she'll go off and tell the Malfoy's exactly what I said. Like that's going to do anything.
Anyway, I am officially fifteen. Yay!! I'm hoping this year I can just hang out with some of my close friends because last year there was a gigantic party in the common room and while that was one off the best nights of my life, I don't think that the noise would do any good for Harry. He tries to act like he's not nervous for the third task, but I can tell he is. It must be a cousin thing, because when I asked Fred, he said he thought that Harry was acting normal.
I am cut out off my thoughts when I hear someone call me from the common room. It's either Dean or Seamus, because if it was a girl, they would just come up here, and I know it's not Neville because he knows what would happen to him if he woke me up on a weekend before twelve o'clock. He learned that the hard way. But lucky for Seamus or Dean, I was already up...so they won't be getting beaten up...today. I hear them call my name again, louder this time. I sigh and get out of my bed. I grab my Gryffindor jumper and put it on. I normally sleep in shorts and a sports bra and I don't think the people in the common room would appreciate it, if I came down like that.
I trudge down the stairs into the common room.They don't notice me. Dean shouts my name again. "I'm right here."I say. They jump. Neville hugs me. "Happy Birthday, Char." He says. "Thanks, Nev." I say. "Happy Birthday!" Seamus says and he gives me a hug. "Thanks, Seamus." I say. "Happy Birthday, Charlotte." Dean says and nods his head at me. "Thanks, Dean." I say. Even though me and Dean are trying to be friends, it's still extremely awkward between us. "Charlotte!" I hear two people say. The Weasley's. Fred runs towards me, but before I can run for my life, he grabs me and throws me into the air like you would do with a baby. When he grabs me again, I cling onto him for dear life. "That was not funny." I say. I reluctantly let go of him and land back on the ground. My feet are barley touching the ground when i'm picked up by someone else. Red hair, it's probably George. He puts me on his shoulders. "I'm not a doll, you know. You can't just throw me around everywhere!" I say. "Don't act like you don't love it."Fred says. I roll my eyes. "Let me go get dressed." I say. I climb off of George. "Can, I come?" George says, smirking. "If you can get up to my dorm, than you're welcome to join me." I say, matching his smirk.
After I get dressed, I run back to the common room. "Off to the great hall!" George says. "Let's go!" I say. I run towards Neville and jump on his back. "Piggy back?" I ask hopefully. "You're already on my back!, I cant exactly say no, " He says. And we head towards the Great Hall.
When we reach the hall we head over to the Gryffindor table. It's really empty though. "Hey, where is everyone?" I ask. "Their all in bed" Fred says. "Lazy, sods."George finishes. After we finished eating and were about to head up to the common room, Dumbledore came over to us. "Happy Birthday, Miss. Peverelle." He says. "Thank you" I say. He hands me a parcel. "Something small, for myself and Minerva." He says. I take the package off him. "Thank you very much,sir." I say. He winks and walks out off the Great Hall.
"Did the headmaster of Hogwarts just give you a birthday present, or was I just hallucinating?" Seamus says. " He gave me a birthday present." I say. "Open it." The Weasley twins say. Well, more like shout. "Alright, keep your knickers on." I say.
I open my parcel and find a broom servicing kit. "Oh my god." I say. "Do you know how much those things cost?" Neville asks. "No, how much?" I ask. " A lot off money" Dean says. "Why would they get this for me?" I ask, more to myself than anyone around me. "Favoritism." Dean says. I scoff. Me. Their favorite, i'm in detention at least once a week. "Let's go back to the common room."Fred says. "Sure." I reply.
When I walk into the common room everyone shouts "Happy Birthday". And by everyone, I mean all the Gryffindors, and some Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws aswell. Neville, Dean, Seamus, Fred and George pull out presents and hand them to me. "Have ye had those on ye the whole morning?" I ask them "Yup." They all say. Hermione, Ron and Harry come over and give me presents as well. Harry hugs me and says "Happy birthday, to the best cousin anyone could ask for." "Thanks, Harry." I say. I know earlier I said that I don't want a party but, if a party is being thrown for me i'm not just going to refuse to go to it.
After that a LOT of firewhiskey was passed around and I can't remember anything else that happened that night.
