As Leo lay on his bed at midnight, staring up at the green curtains, he reflected that this had been one of his best birthdays yet. In addition to the Zonko's bag, he had received a packet of Self-Shuffling cards from Draco, a large bag of sweets from Theo and an old but interesting-looking book on the history of the Dark Arts from his parents.
Marisa hadn't got quite so good a haul, but she had been sent a Muggle music player from her parents ("Those things don't work in Hogwarts!" she said slightly grumpily) and Daphne had bought her some Chocolate Frogs.
They'd still had classes, of course: Potions, Herbology and Transfiguration. They had exchanged Transfigured teapots at the end of class although neither drank much tea.
During lunch break they'd slipped out to the Quidditch pitch so Marisa could try out her new broom, which she'd said was absolutely fabulous.
They'd spent the evening in the Room of Requirement having an impromptu party. Marisa had attempted to educate Leo in the world of Muggle music (the Room had played party songs for some bizarre reason) but he'd been unimpressed.
They'd exchanged Chocolate Frog cards and played a complicated game of their own invention involving Self-Shuffling cards, Exploding Snap cards and Every-Flavour Beans at which Leo had been resoundingly thrashed.
Then once that was done, they'd attempted to prank each other using some of the Zonko's tricks but hadn't been able to catch each other unawares.
Eventually, exhausted, they'd crawled back to the common room to go to bed, tired but unbelievably happy.
