I never thought I'd say this, but that book I bought is actually pretty cool. My friend Juliana was born the same day as Ronald Weasley, and my brother was born the same day as Hermione Granger. I spent the last five days asking when everyone's birthday was. "July 24th, that's Regulus Black!" "October 16th, that's the same day as Seamus Finningan!" "November 22nd? That's Lee Jordan!" Man, this is pretty fun. There's only one more person whose birthday I want to figure out, and that person is Scorpius Malfoy.
I spotted him in the astronomy tower. He was always up there if he wasn't in the Slytherin dorm. "Scorpius?" I called to him. He sort of jumped. "Jesus, Finn, don't scare me like that!"
"I'm sorry. I just want to know when your birthday is. I have a big book full of famous witches and wizards and their birthdays, and I thought you might like to know if your birthday is the same as anyone's in here."
"Do October 23rd." He said. I flipped towards October, and then looked down towards the 23rd. "Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. Regarded as one of the greatest wizards ever to have lived." I recited.
"Sweet." Said Scorpius. Sweet indeed.
I was walking back down to the Gryffindor common room, when I realized that today was October 18th. Scorpius's birthday is coming up. I should do something special for him. Maybe bake a cake, or give him a present. Maybe even throw a party! Yeah, that's it! I'll throw a surprise party, right here in the Gyffindor common room. I'll invite everyone, no matter what their house is or anything, because thats what Scorpius would like. and I'll tell the portrait of the fat lady to let everyone in, regardless of if they know the password. This will be great. I'm going to hand out the invitations right after I'm done with my potions homework.
