''Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you...'' I woke up to the sound of the girls in my dorm singing, holding a birthday cake under my nose. ''Quick blow out the candles!'' Kiara spoke excitedly. I did as I was told, putting on a genuine smile and forgetting everything bad that had happened recently, this was my day to shine! I did my best to ignore that last night was the ball...the one I was asked and then un-asked to, I was left sitting alone in the common rooms while everyone else was having a great time. Yay. After opening my presents, I made my way to potions. Great.

When I arrived, Malfoy wasn't in his seat smirking his head off as usual. Sitting down, I noticed a present on my desk. There was no tag to tell who it was from but I opened it anyway. Inside was the bracelet I had seen in the shop that time at Hogsmeade. The shock overwhelmed me and I nearly fell off my seat, holding onto the table for support, when Malfoy strode in, his face unreadable. '' Nice Bracelet.'' He commented with a flat voice, before looking at his textbook and ignoring me the rest of class. Oh Joy, this was going to be one exciting lesson.

''Well that was the worst lesson of my entire life!'' I moaned as me and Lucy, Finally, left potions. ''I wonder who bought me this bracelet though'' I thought aloud to Lucy, ''Three guesses who!'' I gave Lucy a puzzled look at her remark, and she tilted her head in the direction of Malfoy, who, deep in conversation, glanced up, and seeing me, quickly ignored me once more. ''Guess again! The only thing Malfoy has ever given me is snide remarks!'' unconvinced, Lucy changed the subject, ''I hate transfiguration! I won't be able to do it, EVER!'' I smiled at this and replied ''oh, I thought you liked sitting beside Blaise Zambini?'' I couldn't hold back a small giggle at her expression as she answered far too quickly, ''I do NOT like Blaise!'' after regaining my composure I remarked ''I never said you did...'' smiling, I strode off to Transfiguration.
