The house was silence, Harry was in his room enjoying the silence while it lasted. It was strange to him, being a year older.

His aunt had been giving him side glances during the entirety dinner making him worry about what she was thinking. He knows she wants to be better but he stilll doesnt know if this is some sick joke, but if it was why would she be so sincere about her apoiligy.

Harry's head was filled with questions he knew he would never have answers to but he couldn't help to think that maybe things could get better? Or maybe this is the build up to a nightmare?

As Harry stared at the ceiling trying to think of anything else then the night he had been repeating ever since it happened His name echoed through the house and into his room.

Sitting up Haarry sighed as he put hid glasses on his face and made his way to the kitchen. Sunlight flooded his eyes as he opened the door, the room was small but homely all the same, nothing had ever change in the sacred room, well other than the cake on the table that one was deffiently new.

Harry looked at the cake confused before making eye contact with his aunt,she briefly looked at him before gestureing to the cak as she stood up.

"Happy birthday?",  The phrase sounded more like a question to the boy as he looked back at the cake, it had blue icing on it and plain red letters saying ' Happy Birthday'.

He kept his eyes on the cake as he made his way to the free chair in the room as if it would suddenly jump at him and make him the borthday desseert.

He looked back at his aunt as she walked towards the counter, grabbbing a knife, plates and a lighter. She light the single candle and stared at Harry expectantly.

The boy stared back at her with a similir gaze, confused on what she wanted him to do or well more trying to figure out why she had made him a cake, did she want something? Did she really want forgiveness?

Harry was snapped out of his thoughts by his aunts voice,

"You should blow that out, you know.",

Harry slightly nodded before leaning over the table and blowing the candle out, he watched as the smoke rose from the wick and towards the ceiling before his aunt grabbed the candle and began cutting the cake.

She places a piece infront of Harry before sitting down oppisite him. The silence was tense, they both refused to look at each other and mutal decided that looking at their cakes was more interesting.

"What did you wish for?",

Harry briefly looked up at his aunt before looking back at the slice and swalloing before answering,

"i'm not supposed to tell you, am i?",

His aunt chuckled at what he said as he ate another piece. Not long after both had finnished their slices, Harry grabbed both plates and washed them while his aunt cleaned the table.

Harry turned around and looked at his aunt as she looked at the cake in confusion.

"What's wrong?",

His aunt continued to stare at the cake before answering his question,

"Are we going to have to eat this all now? Because the Dudley will eat it all if he finds it",

Harry laughed at what his aunt said as she chuckled.

Maybe one day they really could be a happy family.
