PROLOGUE

Mary Macdonald and Riley Grummets burst through the door, singing loudly and holding a flaming birthday cake. Lily grinned at her friends and blushed softly.

"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear LIL-DOG! Happy birthday to you!" Riley sang, loudly and very out of tune. Mary giggled loudly and shoved the cake in front of Lily's nose.

"Wish, Lil-dog," Mary commanded. Lily laughed slightly and took a deep breath. She scrunched up her eyes tightly and let out a gust of air.

I wish it goes well; I wish it goes well. Please. She thought fiercely in her head, scrunching up her face. She opened her eyes a tiny bit, glancing at Mary who was grinning madly at Lily.

"What did you wish?" She asked, removing the cake and producing a knife from thin air.

"I'm not telling, and I don't want a huge piece please." Lily said as Mary cut the cake into thirds.

"Why not? Please! And can I have a massive piece, Farmer?" Riley asked, sitting down on Lily's bed.

"Because, if I tell you then it won't come true." Lily said, accepting her piece of cake. "Merlin, Mary, what the hell is in this?" She mumbled through her mouthful of chocolaty heaven.

"Magicians never reveal their secrets," Mary replied, grinning.

"Alright, me and Farmer have decided your not just going to hang inside all day for your birthday. We asked Dumbledore for some time off. We semi used your sister as an excuse, is that alright?" Riley asked glancing warily at Lily, who had her eyebrows raised and a questioning look on her face.

"What did you say?" Lily said, sighing.

"That she wanted to spend some time with you – with us there – and her not actually being there – and with the other guys – you know, the usual," Riley said quickly, looking at Mary.

"You're joking? He bought that?" Lily asked, her eyes wide.

"Well, his response was something like: 'Tell her I wish her a happy birthday and that the time she doesn't spend with her sister is used wisely,' so I'm assuming he knows what we want to do, not what we said we would be doing…" Mary said, fading off, a confused look on her face.

"Farmer, you've lost me so shut up. Where's Alice?" Lily asked, reaching for more cake.

"Who knows? Snogging Frank, no doubt," Mary giggled. Lily laughed as Riley snorted into her cake, and thumped her on the back.

"We'll wait for her to give you our presents, but we have to tell you what we're doing." Riley said coughing a bit more.

"Yeah, I can't hold it in any longer!"

"Right, what torture am I going through this year?" Lily sighed, sitting up straight.

Riley and Mary glanced each other, grins spreading across their faces.

"We're going…"

"CAMPING!"
