Trouble [S.B]

Dear diary:

It is December 8... Yeah, I know. It's that day again, how time flies right? I'm hoping today will be much different than before. I'm mostly hoping that my friends won't be annoying little shits and do the same thing as the year before... and the year before that, and the one before that one and so on. I just want to have one normal day, but that's kind of impossible when you have James Potter as a friend. It's also even worse because he sees me as his little sister even if I'm older than him. Don't tell him that I said this, it might hurt his feelings. Anyways I'm off to Great Hall to have breakfast, I thought it would be smarter to wake up later than usual because they won't expect me to wake up late just to avoid them. Good thing I'm cunning right?

Love, Ellie.

Noelle got up from her bed and put her diary back in her drawer. She was pretty much scared about what the day held for her. It wasn't because she dreaded the day... Okay, she's not kidding anyone, she absolutely loathed that day.

She had already made it to the Great Hall, arriving rather quickly as she had taken some secret passages to get there. She sneaked a peek into the hall and realized with happiness that it was very much full, they wouldn't do anything with the place full of students, right?

Wrong.

All she did was sit next to Regulus, who was opening his mouth to speak, when fireworks erupted from the Slytherin table, specifically where she was seated. Everyone stared at the fireworks in wonder and amazement, and they all saw the words 'Happy Birthday Ellie!' form in all sorts of colors, a snake bursting in the air to accentuate the grand finale. She groaned as the students started looking at her and saying happy birthday.

"I'm gonna kill them" she mumbled into her hands.

"You say that every year" Regulus replied mocking her.

"Shut up"

"Happy birthday my dearly, beloved, and best friend ever" he shook her by the shoulders before hugging her. She chuckled lightly and held him tightly "You're legal now!"

"In the wizarding world" she reminded him.

"In the only place that matters"

"Shut up and eat your breakfast"

"Yes ma'am"

She turned back to her now full plate, all of her favorites foods filling it, and she smiled. Ruby and Kasumi always did that. Noelle briefly looked up and saw a group of sixth year students looking at the Slytherin table, she cursed loudly and got down to hide underneath the table.

"What are you doing?" Regulus asked curiously.

"What the fuck does it look like I'm doing? Hiding, you dipshit"

"Oh well, I already told them you were here"

"You what?!" she yelled and got up, only to find him smirking. She realized her mistake a second too late "You little-"

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY FAVORITE SNAKE! WOW CAN YOU BELIEVE IT'S BEEN 17 YEARS SINCE I WAS BLESSED ENOUGH TO CALL YOU SIS-"

"James I'm older than you"

"Yeah no one asked you" he sassed back rather quickly as he approached the Slytherin table whilst ignoring the glares from the students sat there. She glared at him and quirked an eyebrow, a smile broke its way in his face as he took her in his arms "You're so grown now oh my god" and he sat himself next to her.

The Slytherins were ready to burst and yell at him to get off their table but we're cut off when the other group of sixth years sat themselves around Noelle.
