Chapter Thirty-Three: A Birthday Raven

Saturday the 17th of June, 1944. Ophelia Lockwood's seventeenth birthday. And although, she has never fully celebrated her birthday because she labels it as being 'one more step to death', her plans of having a peaceful lie in and a lazy day were not to go accordinly.

Having gotten her Slytherin friends in on the plan, Morgandy, Dove, Nicole and Starr had managed to persuade everyone to get up early on this warm Saturday morning, for the sole purpose; to wake up Ophelia and wish her a happy birthday.

The group of Hufflepuffs were making their way from their dormitories at 7am when they were stopped by a voice who turned out to be Peeves the poltergeist messing around with them.

"Ophelia-welia's birthday you say?" He giggled, "I must remember to congratulate her in person."

"Congratulate her?" Daxten asked.

"For reaching 17, after all the dangerous stuff she has done," Peeves giggled and flew off.

Daxten was the only one who hadn't shrugged it off and was left asking questions as the group continued down to the Slytherin dungeons.

The Gryffindor's and Ravenclaw's who turned up on time were impatiently waiting with Avery and Orion outside the entrance to the Slytherin common room.

Finally, arriving ten minutes later than they should of the Hufflepuff's finally joined the rest of their friends.

"What took you so long?" Morgandy asked.

"Peeves!" The Hufflepuff's all said at the same time.

The rest of the group rolled their eyes, some even whispering 'of course' or 'no surprise'.

Avery whispered the password which offended those who heard it, "don't blame us that half our house is pure-blooded and that's what Salazar Slytherin wanted."

The group followed behind the two Slytherins through the small corridor that led to the top of the common room steps.

"This is amazing!" Franko Andre let out in utter disbelief.

"How come our common room is up a tower and has the smallest common room known to man, but the Slytherins here get a gigantic one?" Elowen crossed her arms, mad about how small the Gryffindor common room actually was.

Tom, Malfoy, Lestrange and the twins all walked up the steps to meet them.

"You two ready?" Morgandy asked Ophelia's twin cousins as they greeted everyone.

The two nodded their heads and smiled, "everyone's gifts are down there on the sofa, so if you want to place yours there then you can!" Huw smiled and pointed at the sofa at the bottom of the steps.

Everyone followed the group down the steps and placed their gifts on the sofa, then Huw and Iolo looked each other, nodded their heads and high-fived each other as they started to climb the stairs leading to the girl's dormitories.

"I have a bad feeling about this," Nicole shook her head, "Ophelia hates it when people wake her up."

"Yeah let's be honest, the twins are going to get murdered!" Emory shrugged as he looked at Nicole.

As the group began to hesitate there were loud screams from the girl's stairwell and out came Huw and Iolo jumping down a flight of stairs followed by a very angry Ophelia.

The group watched as Ophelia dived onto the closest twin which was Iolo, who screamed as she held him in a headlock.

Huw walked up to the group and brushed himself off as he watched his brother get strangled by his cousin.
