This is my first story. So go easy on me. Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.
Sunlight filtered through the pink curtains. I slowly opened my eyes. Normally, I roll over and go back to sleep, until my parents or brothers woke me up. But today is special. My eyes lit up with glee. Today is my birthday! I sprinted over go the curtains and yanked them open, allowing sunlight to bounce off the pink walls. I swiftly ran to my mirror to brush my hair. The brown curls were easier to tame then soon I tied my hair in a neat ponytail with my favorite pink ribbon, the door burst open and my brothers waltzed in. Jesse had a stupid little keyboard, Miles had maracas, and Ben had a stupid grin on his face. Before I could kick them out, Jesse rolled a chord. They started singing with Jesse singing and playing at the same time, Miles doing a stupid little dance and shaking the maracas, and Ben singing falsetto.
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday dear Verena,
Happy birthday to you.
And many more!"
I laughed."You practiced this time! Last year, it was awful!"
I giggled and Jesse and Miles just laughed and hoisted me on their shoulders and carried me downstairs with Ben followed hastily ranting about how last year's song wasn't bad. Mom and Dad were in kitchen. Mom turned around from the counter,her eyes sparkled.
"Happy birthday sweetheart!"
"Thanks Mom!" I hugged her from my brothers' shoulders and she flicked her wand, sending the fruit salad almost directly in Dad's face.
"Happy birthday, pumpkin!" Dad said cheerfully.
Jesse and Miles set me down and I hugged Dad.
"What do you want for breakfast,honey?"
Mom's wand was poised for action. Eggs and French Toast were there in seconds. My family sat down to eat. Jesse was telling me about a Hogwarts professor, Miles was telling Mom about his favorite subject,DADA, and Dad was telling Ben about his many adventures as as Auror. Then, owls flew in with our mail, dropping it all in the the giant jello mold. Dad waved his wand, cleaning the mail and sending it to whoever it was for. I saw my brothers looking at a familiar letter. I had many colorful cards and packages But something caught my eye,I saw the same letter my brothers got. Hogwarts!
