It was the nineteenth, it was my birthday. I was so happy I didn't even wait for Malfoy to get up as I went to 'Mione's room and knocked. She opened it immediately bringing me into a hug and began jumping. She pulled me into her room as we both became ecstatic. This is how we were on our birthday ever since we were little. We would get up early and wake the other up and talk until mum and dad got up, but now it was until breakfast was served. 

" We're nineteen 'Mione!" I squealed as I fell on the couch.

" I know! Isn't it exciting?" She said following me on the couch. We continued talking and wondering what mum and dad were going to send us. Until a noise on the stairs was heard. I looked up to see Ron coming down the stairs rubbing his eyes, he was only in boxers making me scrunch up my nose. Hermione was blushing and as soon as Ron saw me he blushed too.

" Oh uh hi," He said awkwardly. 

" Hi Ronald," I said laughing at his embarrassment. He went back upstairs to change and I and Hermione began giggling. He came back down and placed a kiss on Hermione's head before sitting on one of the chairs.

" What are you doing here Y/n?" He questioned. I shared a look with Hermione, did he not know?"

" Ronald, what is today?" She asked him. He furrowed his eyebrows together before realizing. 

" Oh! Happy birthday to you both," He said scratching the back of his head. I laughed looking at the time before dragging Hermione away. It was time for breakfast and I was starving and I wanted my present from mum and dad. We sat down followed by Ron and then later Harry, Ginny came by to tell us happy birthday after Harry told us. I ate happily although I was sad that Hermione wouldn't let me go to the kitchens to get cake. I would do it later as I always did.

" Happy birthday!" Blaise cheered coming over and hugging me. I laughed hugging him back.

" Thanks, Blaise," I said. He told Hermione happy birthday to before leaving to go sit with Malfoy, who was now glaring at me. I shook it off though. I went back to my room since I had to get my books for my first few classes. I heard the door/ portrait open signalling Malfoy was here.

" Hey Malfoy," I greeted cheerfully which he returned with an eye roll leaving me confused, I thought we were on good terms now. I shrugged it off deciding it wasn't going to ruin my day. I went into the bedroom since I couldn't find my one book. 

" Where were you this morning?" Malfoy asked making me jump since I didn't hear him. I think he uses apparition to get around, like everywhere.

" Geez stop doing that!" I scolded him but he just rolled his eyes coming over to me and closing my trunk that I was looking in. " Hey! I was-" He cut me off.

" Where were you this morning?" He repeated his tone stricter making me glare at him. Seems like we're no longer on good terms.

" At my sisters," I said simply standing up so I could seem more confident. " Is that a problem with you now Malfoy?" 

" It is when I don't know where you are," He said taking a step closer.

" Well you don't control me Malfoy and I'm not going to tell you where I am every second of the day," I said taking my own step towards him to show him that I was scared. " It's been a ritual to do this since we were little and I'm not stopping it for you!"

" What to go to her in the early morning! You haven't done that before today!" He yelled glaring. Why was he so angry about this? 

" I don't do it every day! Just on our birthday you arse!" I yelled back crossing my arms. His eyes softened as his shoulders fall. All the anger he previously had seemed to disappear as he realized.

" Oh, I didn't know," he said softly. I scoffed in annoyance rolling my eyes. " I'm sorry. happy birthday?" he said hoping to make it better.

" Thanks," I mumbled now annoyed. I grabbed the book I was looking for and pushed past him. I heard him sigh as I made my way to my classes. Today was supposed to be great but now it was ruined. I just wanted it to be over and go to the kitchens to get me a mini-cake. 

After dinner, I went to go back to my room until everyone should have been to their places so I could sneak away but Hermione insisted that I go with her and Ron to their room. I sighed giving in to her and letting her lead me to her room. We talked and I had almost forgotten about the presents mum and dad sent us. We never opened them during the mornings we always waited until after dinner to open them. Hermione had kept them in her place so she could be sure I wouldn't open mine before now. She got them and read the letter they sent us. It was just the usual but it also was them saying how the new law was awful and that they wished us luck, more so me. They said they loved us and so on. I opened my present seeing it was a sweater that I had seen in a shop along with a ring. It was a simple band that had red on the outside and gold on the inside. Hermione got the same ring and shoes she had liked. Mum and dad always got us something that matched on our birthdays and Christmas.

After a while, Hermione seemed to be getting anxious as she stared at the clock. I kept asking if she wanted me to leave but she always said no insisting that I stay. I was getting bored and all I wanted was to eat my cake but she wouldn't let me go. The portrait opened revealing Ron who nodded causing Hermione to jump up. She pushed me out saying goodnight leaving me confused as to what just happened. I rolled my eyes before heading back to my room to put my presents away before going to the kitchens.

As I opened the doors I noticed the lights were dimmed making me confused. I walked further in seeing that there were Rose and lilies on the table and floor leading up to it. There was soft music playing as I heard rustling from the kitchen. I walked in setting my stuff on the couch before going to the table.

" Malfoy this better not be some romantic gesture or some crap," I said picking up a rose. He came out of the kitchen with a cake making me excited. He smiled anxiously as he sat it on the table.

" It's not don't worry," He said taking off the apron he had on. " This is my way of saying sorry for this morning. I asked your friends and they said you always waited to go down to the kitchen to get a cake so I decided I'd make one myself. It might not be great but I had Weasley and Potter help me with it." 

" Thanks, Malfoy," I said smiling. He nodded pulling out a chair for me before sitting in his own. He cut me a piece of cake and handing it to me. " I'm not going to die from this right?" I asked making him roll his eyes.

" I'm not that much of jerk to poison you on your birthday," He said and I nodded jokingly giving him a suspicious look. He rolled his eyes smiling. " Do you want me to take a bit first?" He asked.

" It wouldn't hurt," I said with a shrug. He took a bite of it before furrowing his eyebrows together. " Is it poisoned?" I asked.

" No just taste really bad," He said. I took a little bite wanting to see how bad it actually was. He was right it was really bad. " We can always go down to the kitchens?" He asked and I nodded. We made our way to the kitchens talking and joking along the way. Once we ate our slices we went back to our room running since there was a prefect who saw us. I laughed as we made it into our room him joining in.

" You can have the bed by the way," He said. " From now on not just tonight. The couch is really comfy anyways."

" You don't have to Malfoy," I said but he shrugged setting up the couch as I had before. " Night Malfoy."

" Night Granger," He said looking up to me on the stairs. " Sweet dreams." He called as I made my way to the room. I smiled as I walked into the room. I changed and crawled into the bed. It smelt like it him, I thought before cuddling against the pillow and falling asleep.
