Disclaimer: EEEK! I'm so excited. I have just read that Rowling has
finished the first draft of book 6!!
In regards to book six: Word around work this week, is that JK publicly said "Harry sustains a minimal but lasting injury in this book." It is also reported to be roughly just under the length of GoF and will most likely be done by early January (the first draft).
Thank yous:
Manny2003: this chap is going to attract at least 20 reviews!
Dweem-angel: Fine, you asked for ciffies, you are going to get them!
Athenakitty: Yes and no!
Simsgirl262: Emailed you back, lol, too bad about getting rid of the stuff.
Bamsk8chic: $$blushes$$ Really?
Keeper of the west: I'm actually a girl so it would be queen. And the cliffy on this is a HUGE surprise so be warned.
$ Chapter 21: Lilac's birthday.
"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LILAC!"
Lilac was awoken suddenly by a loud noise and opened her eyes to find Robin, Seamus and Harry all standing by her bed with muggle streamers and party hats.
She then remembered the date: 5th of November, her birthday.
"Here! Open my present first!" Robin said shoving a present in front of her.
"No! Mine first!" Seamus said pushing Robin's aside.
"Let's let her choose for herself!" Robin said quickly and both her and Seamus looked at Lilac.
"Uh-oh!" She thought to herself and then looked to Harry, who was standing with a small box in his hands.
"To stop you two fighting, I will open Harry's first." She said and he smiled and handed her the gift before kissing her cheek.
She took of the folded piece of paper tied to it. It was a note, decorated with lots of little hearts, it said:
Dear Lilac
I really don't really know how I would say this; letters have never really been my forte. I'll just say it straight out: I love you. I know I have said that many times already, but if I had to make one wish, it would be to be able to explain how much. If anything had to happen to you or hurt you, I would never be able to live with myself for not stopping it.
Please remember this: If you EVER need anything, whether it be a chocolate frog, a place to stay, maybe just a hug or a kiss, call me, whether it be 2 am in the morning at Hogwarts or 10 years from now (Hmm, wonder where will we will be then?).
I don't know if I could be any happier than when I am with you. I want this feeling to never end because my life is nothing without you.
I'm so glad that I went to help you find the platform, who would guess that would spark such a thing like we have.
You are so beautiful; I know that in about a year or two (maybe less), you are going to have every guy at Hogwarts and in the muggle world chasing after you. I know that you are so special, no one and nothing could ever do what you have done for me.
Life together is going to be so wonderful, I can't wait to spend mine with you.
Happy 11th birthday, may you have many more.
Lots of love, from Harry.
She unexpectedly grabbed Harry round the neck and pulled him on to the bed in a hug, so happy to know how much he cared.
"Can't you save that for another time, like when we are not here?" Robin sighed as Lilac kissed him.
"Fine!" She sighed and then turned to open the gift.
She opened it and found a lot of hay and a little blanket wrapped object buried inside.
She touched it and it shivered. She unwrapped it and inside, was a beautiful, baby white owl.
"It's gorgeous! Where did you find it Harry?" She asked engulfing her boyfriend in another hug but being careful not to squash the owl.
"I found it in the forest about 5 days ago it's egg must have fallen out the tree. I took it to Hagrid and he said I could keep it if I kept it warm. She hatched yesterday morning, though I hoped it would wait so you could see.
"Thank you so much!" She said and set the owl down on the table.
"Mine next!" Robin said and Seamus growled at Robin as Lilac opened it.
After she had opened the rest of her presents, they included a whole load of sweets, 50 galleons, and handmade cards from her little sisters, books, teddies and clothes.
"We have lessons to go to, but to keep your spirits up," Seamus said and held up her robes, which had, a sign attached to the front and back that said: "It's my birthday so stop me and give me a hug."
"Thanks!" She said sarcastically.
No problem!" Seamus smiled.
"So let me get this straight. I have to walk around with that all day attached to my robes?" She said and they all nodded with equivalent grins on their faces.
They boys left and Lilac sighed and started to get dressed as Robin picked up the note from Harry.
"He really loves you a lot, doesn't he?" She said after reading it.
"Yeah, and I love him just a much, I just am not as good at saying it as him." Lilac replied while buttoning up her shirt.
"I hope you are sure of it because he sounds serious here and it would be horrible for you to hurt him." Robin sighed folding up the note and putting it in Lilac's robes when she was doing her tie.

Lilac pushed open the boys dorm door and saw Seamus jumping up and down on Romulus's bed with Romulus talking into the mirror and moving up and down with the bed.
"Hello Lilac! What rings you to our humble dorm?" Seamus asked and stopped bouncing.
"I got a letter from Harry asking me to meet him here!" She said holding up a piece of parchment.
Seamus snatched it away and read it out loud:
"Dear L
Could you meet me in my dorm in 5?
From H."
Seamus looked back up and smiled wickedly.
"You know, there could be more than one H in the school, it could be Hannah, Hermione, Herman?"
"Is there even a Herman in Hogwarts?" She asked with a sigh.
"I don't know!" He replied and started jumping again.
Lilac suddenly felt arms wrap around her and pull her back. She looked but nothing was there.
She realized what it was and whacked it on the head.
"Oww!"
"Stop it Harry!" She scolded playfully and he pulled again.
"That does it! You are going to pay for that!" He said with a growl and pulled her onto his bed.
She screamed and he closed the curtains before pulling the cloak off and tickling her while his lips gently tickled her neck.
She screamed and he stopped and smiled at her before putting his fingers in his ear like he was going deaf.
He threw the cloak over both of them and they left the room without Seamus or Romulus realizing it.
They got out the portrait and into an empty class where Harry resumed kissing her neck.
Robin's voice ran through her head: "I hope you are sure of it because he sounds serious here and it would be horrible for you to hurt him."
She pushed him off. "I think we need to talk." Lilac said.
They went and sat down on two of the chairs. "Ok, tell me, whatever it is, I'll listen!" He said, took her hand and she felt even guiltier.
"I, I.........." She stuttered.
"You what?' He asked softly stroking her hand.
"Ithinkweneedtoseeotherpeople!" She blurted out.
When he figured out what she had said, a look of horror passed over his face.
"You are joking, please tell me you are going!" He begged and tears formed in her eyes as she shook her head no before getting up and running out the room.
$ I hate to write the end to this chapter like this because I want everyone to be happy, but pain and sadness are gifts that love brings.
