"Aunt Sara I'm back, now can call my parents?" "Yes, you may here's the phone, you know how to dial the number don't you?" "yes, I'm going out back." "Ok." Faith walked outside and spotted a swinging bench she sat down and dialed . She got the operator "Yes, I would like Joe and Grace Harrold." "Hold please." As she sat and waited she spotted a carton of flowers, a bag of fertilizer, and some garden utensils "Hello!" her train of thought was interrupted by her mothers voice "Hi, mom I made it safely, right now I'm at your sisters, grandpa said he would come and get me the 30th." "Oh, that's wonderful dear give your aunt a kiss for me and you should receive your Birthday present tomorrow bye love you." "Bye tell everyone I love and will miss them." She hung up, she all of sudden had the feeling she was being watched. Faith looked over at number four just in time to see the blind flicker shut. Faith walked inside handed the phone to her Aunt Sara and asked if she could do some gardening "Sure I could never figure out how to do it any ways." She walked outside pulled on the gardening gloves and began to pull the weeds.

"Faith come in and wash up dinner is ready." "Ok." She dusted off her hands and stood back to admire her handy work then walked inside. "Faith I know tomorrow is your birthday so I invited the Durselys over, me and Mrs.Dursely and shopping buddies I think she told you that though." "Oh." "We are going to have a barbecue then we are going to the pool to go swimming." "Um, ok what are we having?" then her Aunt did something she had never seen before, she pulled out a wand, waved it, and a bunch of food was before her. "Oh my, how did you do that?" "Oh I keep forgetting you are new to this don't worry though we don't use magic very often the Durselys don't like weird and we like to keep peace with everyone." "Oh, that's ok."

**************************************************************************** ******

"Sara, My dear that meal was delicious." "Thank you Larry now I accept you to clean off the table." Now her uncle Larry pulled out his wand and wiped the table clean. Faith just about had enough with magic for the night so she excused herself and went upstairs to bed.

"Faith you better get up your party is going to start in a couple of hours!" Faith was pulled out her reoccurring dream were her and her grandfather was flying through the air and out of the seven nights she's had it they would get closer and closer to a castle near a lake. "Ok." When she got up she was hot and sticky it felt like 90 degrees. She walked into the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror. She stared at her reflection her medium brown tress that went a little past her shoulders was tasseled about her head. There sleep around her soft brown eyes. Turing away from the Mirror Faith turned on the shower to lukewarm. The water felt great against her tanned skin. She got out pulled on her skirt, her denim suit bottoms and swimsuit top. After pulling on her hat over her braided pigtails and applying sunscreen she walked downstairs. "Morning aunt Sara what's for breakfast?" "Why don't you sit down and I'll fix you a bowl of mini shredded wheats." "Ok."

After finishing her cereal she slipped on her sandals and walked outside. Her uncle Larry was out there setting up the barbecue "Morning birthday girl, how did you sleep?" "Pretty good what time is it?" "11:30, the Durselys should be here any time soon," the doorbell rang "That must be them now." In the house she heard her Aunt Sara say "They're in back." Mr.Dursely, Mrs.Dursely, Dudley and Harry all entered the backyard "Good- afternoon Faith you look quit lovely today." said Mrs. Dursely "So do you Mrs.Dursely." "And how old are you Faith today?" questioned Mr. Dursely "11." she replied "Same as Dudley." "Oh." "Shall we start with present will the hot dogs and hamburgers cook?" asked uncle Larry "Sure."

They all sat down where there were three presents for here and about four cards. The four cards were from her friends back in Montana. They wished her a happy birthday and inside each envelope was a plastic music note. After opening the bottle of perfume from the Durselys and the ring from her Aunt and Uncle, Faith went for the medium sized present from her parents. Inside the box was a journal and a book with a name on it Grace R. Dumbledore, it was her mom's journal.

As she watched her guest leave she thought how her birthday went it wasn't bad except for the part at the pool were Dudley kept hitting on her and Harry kept a good 10 feet from her. Faith would attempt to talk to him but Mr.Dursely would always send him to do something. after she saw them enter her house she walked upstairs to get ready for bed. When she reached her room on the bed was a present and a note. The note said

Faith the ring your Aunt and I gave you was your grandmothers it will provide you with answers when you need them the most and the journal was your mother's when she and I was in Hogwarts. She slipped on the ring which was silver and a a blue stone in the middle and on each side of the ring was a leaf shaped out of metal. The present on her bed was small and wrapped in a paper bag. There was a note on it

Faith I'm sorry I didn't give this to you earlier my aunt and uncle don't anything to do with weird stuff but I figure you wouldn't mind these sign Harry

Inside the box was a candy call Berts Botts every flavor jelly beans.
