Chapter 2: The Letter
Mabel's eyes snapped opened and stared at the ceiling. She jumped out of bed and did a little jig. Today, May 24th, she was turning 11. She quickly fixed her bed and ran downstairs. Down in the living room were a bunch of owls with gifts tied to them. Mabel quickly untied all of them and carried all her gifts to her room. She peeked into her Dad's room, knowing that he wouldn't be there, but at a local cemetery instead. Today just wasn't her birthday, it was also the day her Mom died.
She began opening her gift from her best friend, Belinda Weasly, which was a gift card to Zonko's Joke Shop. Belinda and her were both going to began school at Hogwarts in the fall, and they were both planning to go "Quidditch Summer Camp". Mabel heard her bedroom door open and turned to find her Dad standing in the doorway.
"Hi Daddy!" she said smiling.
Harry looked down at his daughter, Mabel Potter. She had his green sparkling eyes, but the rest of her facial features reminded him of Cho. Her name...her name and her personality reminded him of an old school friend...
"Happy Birthday sweetie, excited being 11?" he asked her.
"Yep! Look at all these gifts Dad! I feel SO special!" said Mabel grinning. Harry laughed, Mabel could be stuck-up once in awhile.
"Well, I started the fire so that Belinda could get her by Floo Powder. I have to go to work, to finish some project..." he said while Mabel began to frown.
"But when I get home in the evening we'll celebrate okay?" he said while Mabel grinned and nodded. She went back to opening her gifts while Harry left for work.
She began putting all her gifts into a corner of her room, when out of one present, a thick envelope fell out. She looked at it curiously then picked it up. It had a note attached to it which said:
"Your mother gave this to me before she pasted away. Now since your 11, you can have it. Cherish it. Happy birthday honey. Love, Grandma".
