Review?
The presents were opened when everyone was open. I got a wizard watch (which was so freaking awesome) and Honeydukes, a subscription to 'Witch Weekly', books from the Muggle world, and other awesome stuff. Clothes from Lisle, an adorable stuffed animal from Lexi, who knew that I wanted a pet other than my owl.
But from James, all I got was a mysterious smile.
Not that I wasn't grubbing for presents, it was just that for the last three days, he had been telling me about the AMAZING present that he had "apparently" gotten for me. I guess I got a little TOO excited about what present, and was fantasizing about it.
Lisle ushered me aside. "I met a guy," she said to me.
I gasped. "That's awesome, Lisle," I said.
"Yeah," Lisle said. "I think I'm getting over James."
I gaped at her for a second. "WHOA-I thought you already got over him!"
"I lied," Lisle said easily.
I gaped at her some more.
"OH please, Addie," she snapped. "It's not like I was trying to take him from you. I just fancied him a little bit. Now I don't, because I met an amazing guy. And you've GOT to see what James has in store for you. It's REALLY awesome, I'm not even joking about it."
"Oh," I said in a tiny voice.
Lisle gave me another ironic smile. "I told you, Addie, I'm over him."
"Right."
At precisely six in the afternoon, Lexi marched in with a look of anxiety on her face. "Addie!" she said. "I need to talk to you."
I rose from my seat. "What?"
"It's..it's about something."
"Which something?" I asked.
Lexi rolled her eyes. "Just, come!"
"Kay, let me just change," I said.
"NO!" she said. "It's...it's urgent! You can wear what you're wearing right now, it's fine, whatever." With that, she grabbed my wrist.
If she wasn't my friend, I would kill her.
Lexi marched me out of the house and into the garden. "Wait right here," she said. "And drink this." With that, she shoved a tiny vial of purple liquid in my hands, and then rushed off. "Drink it, and you'll see why I need to talk to you."
Curiously, I unstoppered the vial. It smelled of honeysuckle, so I downed it.
Immediately, a bridge spread out from my feet. The night turned to day, and the closed buds of flowers around me bloomed beautifully. Long leaves from trees brushed my hair and then wove themselves into a crown of fern green.
And James was waiting on the other side of the bridge.
"Happy Birthday, Addie," he said.
Crap chapter, I know
