Lavender Brown skipped happily through the hallways with a great big smile plastered on her face. Today had been her sixteenth birthday. She roamed into the dungeon for Potions class. "Hello," she sung in her girlish high voice to everyone who passed by. She took her seat and waved to her Won-Won.
"What's up with her?" inquired Harry. Ron's face slumped as soon as Lavender turned away.
"It's her bloody birthday," Ron responded, "and she wants birthday kiss."
Harry chuckled and said, "A bit of snogging from your lover, eh Ron."
"Oh shut up Harry!" Ron tried to whisper but came off a little louder than anticipated.
"Mister Weasley," Snape's dark and deep voice echoed throughout the dim lighted room, "if you don't mind I would like to get back to my lesson, 5 points from Gryffindor." Sighs came from all of the Gryffindor students. As Lavender sat in Potions class she sung a birthday tune to herself.
"By the way," Snape said just as the students were about to leave his class, "I have graded your exams from last week and you can pick them up on the way out."
Harry and Ron picked up their routine D's. Hermione not even looking at her paper because she had already known about the amazing grade she had received. Lavender grabbed her paper still skipping and glared down at the worst grade she could have gotten. Every question had been wrong. But that wasn't going to ruin her perfect day.
She ran through the hallways to find Ron. "Oh Won-Won, are you ready for our kiss!" she yelled across the hallway. Ron's face turned completely red. Everyone laughed throughout the halls saying things like "yeah Won-Won" and "read for your kiss". Lavender caught up to Ron and tried to plant a kiss on his lips but Ron's hand blocked the way.
"No Lavender, it's over," Ron announced.
Lavender began to cry and ran away. She ran down the staircase crying and not seeing where she had been going. She tripped and opened her eyes but hadn't notice where she was. There were no stairs anywhere around her. She looked at the giant painting behind her. The lady in the portrait stood in a forest with a dress on staring into Lavender's eyes.
"Don't cry," the lady said to Lavender. She walked back into her portrait until she could no longer be seen. She returned moments later with something in her hand. It was a medium-sized box with pink ribbons tied around it. The lady handed Lavender the gift and Lavender put her hands out to receive it. The box magically transported through the painting and to Lavender's hands.
Lavender happily opened the box but nothing was in it. A moment later a pink strip of glitter danced through the air and swirled around Lavender. Suddenly, the lady disappeared and so did the box and the pink strip of glitter. The stairs came back to Lavender's floor and she proceeded to her Charms class.
She walked through the hallway and Katie Bell trotted over to her and happily said, "Happy Birthday, Lavender." She handed her a small present wrapped with blue and red ribbons. Lavender opened it and saw a beautiful necklace that changed with her emotion. People kept coming to give her presents and Lavender's grin got bigger and bigger!
Snape came up to her and in a monotone voice said, "Miss Brown, it has come to my attention I have given you the wrong paper," he pulled out a parchment and continued, "This is your exam." Every question had been answered correctly she had gotten the same grade as Hermione.
Ron walked up to Lavender and whispered, "Happy Birthday." And he gave her a peck on the cheek. Her face turned red and now her necklace turned pink. She had the best birthday ever and in the corner of her eye she could see the lady from the painting. She smiled and returned to the back of the painting.
