-Felicity-

I wake up to my dorm completely decorated with streamers. Roxana and Andrea see me wake up and immediately start singing happy birthday.

"You both sound tone deaf." I saw covering my ear with my pillow.

They grab my arms and pull me out of bed before chanting, "Birthday fit. Birthday fit."

They throw a dress at me and I catch it out of mid air. The fabric is silky and flows beautifully. The arms have off the shoulder sleeves. My tattoo.

"Let me shower first." They roll their eyes but let me go anyways. Once i'm fully clean I cast a quick protection charm on my arm. The tattoo is only seen by those who share it.

I slide the dress over my head and it falls to mid thigh. I slide on the bracelet Fred got me. it does match my eyes. My neck feels heavy, I feel the light weight if the necklace. I take it off and let it rest on the counter. Draco won't care. I finally open the door and pose for Andrea and Roxana.

"HELL YEAH"

"YOU'RE HOT OMG."

"You guys better be throwing me a sweet 16." I say jokingly.

They both look confused.

"It's a muggle thing."

"Whatever let's get some breakfast." They each grab one of my hands and pull my down the stairs and all the way to the great hall.

By the time we get there we are all panting and laughing.

Sliding into our seats at the table both Theo and Blaise say Happy Birthday. Draco isn't here but Astoria is. She doesn't say happy birthday, that's not really a surprise.

While walking to potions someone grabs my arm.

"Happy Birthday Riddle." Harry and Ron hug me, "Did you like our surprise?"

"What surprise?"

"Who do you think got Fred into the Slytherin common room?"

"You guys are so great oh my god." I can't seem to stop smiling all the way to potions but I get pulled off to side again.

"Merlin, What do you want." I say to the person.

"Where are you going?" It's Draco.

"Class?"

"Not now, we have to work on the cabinet today." He grabs my lower arm and walks me towards the room of requirement. My arm tingles, his must too because he looks at mine.

"You idiot, why the hell would you wear something sleeveless?" He looks from me to my arm and back again.

"Please i'm not an idiot. It's a simple charm. Just to hide it."

He scoffs, "I don't know why you'd want to hide it. Its a big deal."

My face is blank as I look to his long sleeve shirt covering his tattoo and back up at him.

"That's different Riddle. I love long sleeves."

I roll my eyes and walk into the room of requirement.

So many things just tossed away never too be seen again. Draco is talking behind me but I don't listen to his mindless babbling.

I step over brooms and chairs. Things are stacked ceiling high. I walk past tables with boxes until something special catches my eye.

A strange box sits on the table. Curiosity gets the best of me and I open it.

An old diadem rests on top. I pick it up, dark blue and silver with words written on it.
