Four and Luna woke up in Luna's bedroom about a week later. Xeno and Luna had made Four a pallet on the floor. It was like a bed, she and Luna would sit on it and talk in the daytime as well.
Xeno and Luna fed Four so often, she was not growing yet but it was evident she was getting nutrients. Her hair began to grow into a longer buzzcut, sticking out in every direction, much like Fred's and George's hair. She was still extremely petite but was becoming more open to the Lovegoods.
She and Luna loved reading together. They would play around the stream near the Lovegood's house. Often they could both be seen wading in the stream, water up to their ankles. Both of them were always laughing.
Four had also learned how to control her metamorphmagus abilities better. Well her hair, her eyes, she could not control. She found a neon blue was her favorite color to keep her hair. So she usually wore it that way.
On the morning of April first, they both awoke with a start. Luna jumped next to Four on the pallet on the floor. Wake up Four, get up, it's your eleventh birthday. Four's head popped up off her pillow immediately.
"Good morning Luna," she told Luna in the middle of a yawn.
"Morning sleepy head, come on, get out of bed," Luna told her grinning, "Dad told me he will make you chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream for your eleventh birthday."
After Four had gotten dressed in a pair of blue jeans and her big, royal blue sweater with the number four in gold on it Luna and she walked down the staircase.
"Breakfast will be ready in a few minutes girls, how about you go outside for now" Luna's dad told them gently.
Luna and Four went outside and walked near the creek. Not wanting to get their feet wet today they stayed on the bank of the stream and sat down.
"Oh I forgot to tell you last night, we are going to the neighbor's house today, one of their son's birthday is today as well," Luna told Four. "It is his birthday party, it will be really exciting and fun.
"That will be very interesting, what is their family like"
"It is a very large family, six sons, and only one daughter. Every person in that family has bright flaming red hair," Luna told her.
"Girls, it is time for breakfast" Xeno called to them. The girls slowly started walking toward the house.
"We will stick out like sore thumbs with blue and blonde hair, won't we?" Four asked joking.
"I suppose we will, but we will have fun none the less," Luna said laughing.
The two young girls entered the kitchen and both gasped at what they saw on the small table. It was a gigantic chocolate chip pancake. Piped in chocolate it read Happy Birthday Four. Xeno handed them each a fork and told them to dig in, and to not worry about making a mess. They did not use plates and ate tight off the gigantic pancake, talking about the upcoming day.
(Imagine it like this, but instead of chocolate chips, it says Happy Birthday FOUR on it in chocolate)
One hour later the group walks to the Weasley's home. Luna and Four are skipping in front Xeno, as he is walking behind them. They walked for only a few minutes and soon reached the Weasley's home. Four checked to make sure her hair was her favorite color, blue.
Mrs. Weasley opened the front door of her home and looked at the Lovegoods and at Four. Molly Weasley was wondering why she was so small and why her hair was so short and blue. Molly quickly invited them into her home. A few minutes later Four walked up to Mrs. Weasley and thanked her for the comfy birthday sweater.
"Thank you so much for the sweater Mrs. Weasley"
"Of course Four. May I ask why you have dyed your hair blue."
As a response, she turned her hair an orangish-red to match Mrs. Weasley's. "I am a metamorphmagus, I can change my hair and eyes. Mr. Lovegood has told me as I get older I can change my facial features as well." During their conversation, Fred and George walked up.
"A metamorphmagus" they chorused together "that is bloody brilliant."
Turning her hair back to her favorite neon blue she looked up at them and smiled.
Mrs. Weasley looked at her and saw her sweater and remembered her birthday" Happy Birthday to you as well, when is your birthday, Xenophilius told me it was very soon."
"It is today actually Mrs. Weasley"
"Call me Molly." She motioned for the twins to return to her and told them "It is also Four's birthday today as well, isn't that interesting." She then had a sad look on her face, thinking about her first daughter.
Four walked off with Fred and George to the backyard, where all the many Weasley children were playing.
"So how old are you turning," one of the twins asked her, expecting the mere age of six or seven.
"I am turning eleven today, what about you two?" She told them.
"No way, we are turning eleven as well," they chorused together.
"That means we will be in the same year at Hogwarts," the other twin said.
"Yeah, we will be. I do not mean to be rude at all but which one of you is Fred and which is George," She asked the both of them.
"I am Fred," One of them told her.
"And I am George," The other told her.
Four pulled a permanent marker out of her jeans pocket and wrote George on the one that said he was Fred and Fred on the one that said he was George.
She stepped back slipping her marker back into the back pocket of her jeans and asked: "Did I get it right" as she was smiling.
"Yes, you did," The twins said together glumly.
"Don't be sad, now I will call you by your given names," she called over her shoulder as she walked away from them.
