Father bustled through the door urgently as I was about to leave. I heard him say something about a winery. I pushed the door open and walked to the Weasley's rooms. I knocked on Harry and Ron's doors. It swung open revealing Harry and Luna who grabbed my arms and forcefully pulled me inside. I was pushed into a chair.

"Don't let him leave!" Harry shouted as he ran out the door. Hermione, Ron, Luna, and the twins pointed their wands at me. I flicked my hand and felt for my own wand. It wasn't there. I held up my hand.

"Videtur wand," I said quickly. As my wand appeared in my hand. Harry, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley came in with a birthday cake.

"🎵Happy Birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Evan! Happy birthday to you!🎵" They sang. A tear slipped down my cheek as I blew out the candles. The cake was cut and we all sat scattered around the room. Harry and I sat alone. I turned to my new friend.

"D'You think Hermione would marry me?" I asked carefully. Harry shook his head yes

 "I think you and Hermione would make the best kids." He told me as I blushed and smiled. Deciding to ask Hermione out on a final date before she left Schitt's Creek, I walked over to her. I laid a hand on her shoulder. She jumped and turned around.

"God, Thomas! You scared me!" She shouted. I chuckled and motioned for her to follow. She obeyed and we walked out into the parking lot. I stuffed my hands in my pockets.

" Will you go out on a date with me, Hermione? Before you leave for your sixth year."I asked nervously. My stomach churned itself into knots. Little voices in my head told me to run but I stood my ground.

"Yes, I will." She said after what felt like an eternity. I let a grin overcome my face. I pulled her into a hug. Good God, it's like asking her out on our first date all over again.

"When are you free?"I asked. The two of us planned to meet Saturday at four. We ended the party off with the opening of gifts. Mrs. Weasley got me fudge and one of her amazingly knit sweaters. It was green with a silver 'E'. Harry and Ron got me two 'Bernie Botts Every Flavor Beans' boxes. Hermione got me a new quill set and the twins got me a chess set. Luna gave me a journal and a book on how to make spells and potions.

I bid everyone a farewell and walked to my room and put everything in my trunk. I cast a wandless Undetectable Extension Charm and gently placed everything in its respective places. Father and Mother came in. They were dressed as if they had just gotten home from their fancy parties. They sat at the table.

"Are we forgetting something?" Mother asked Father. I felt my eyes water and a tick develop in my jaw. I left calmly and walked into town. I went to the park and climbed a tree. I hung upside down. There was a loud clap of thunder and rain started to come down like bullets.

"Sh**!"  I took off for the nearest alley. I apparated to the motel and ran into the room. I panted as I grabbed a towel and ran the shower. Finally, I finished the shower. I wrapped a towel around my body. I dried my dripping hair and grabbed some clothes and my watch. I slipped on the same clothes and went on with my boring day.
