"Oh, it's a surprise? What for?" I asked raising an eyebrow at the two in mock interest, well being dragged up another set of stairs.

"Don't be so daft Katie! We know, you know, that it's your birthday today!" Alicia told me huffily.

She turned her body to the right, mumbling a password and ushering me in to the room. I heard the door creak closed behind us.

"Can I guess, where it is we are going then?" I said, fighting a gigantic smile, which was about to appear on my face.

"No point when we're already here" Alicia said letting go of my arm, I felt a hand brush past my back and realized that Alicia was gesturing for Angelina to let go of me. Once Angelina dropped her arm, I felt the excitement build in my stomach.

"Can you take off this tie now, I think I'm getting a rash from the fabric" I said absentmindedly trying to fond out where we were. I felt Angelina's hand grasp the tie behind my head and felt her nod at Alicia

"Ok, now!" and in a flash of blinding lights, the tie was off.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" said about 10-20 voices around me.

I rubbed my eyes and blinked them a few times so I could focus them on the area around me. I was in the Gryffindor boy's dormitory.

There was a large banner across the banister of a bed, which said "Happy Birthday Katie!" and there was confetti floating down from the roof, it disintegrated before touching the floor. There was a table, next to one of the beds closest to the adjacent wall. It filled with a random assortment of foods and drinks.

I turned my head and looked at the people before me. I realised it was just some of my friends and a few random guys and girls from other houses, mainly Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. No Slytherin of course.

I just stood there gob smacked for a few minutes before remembering to breathe. I took in a few breaths unsure of what to do, I looked behind me but I was quickly ushered by Angelina and Alicia, towards the middle of the room where a small mountain of presents lay.

"They're all yours. Open them" Alicia said into my ear. A large smile crept along my lips. I knelt down in front of the mountain, unsure exactly where as to start.

I drew a hand to the mountain and grabbed the first present. It was slinky in my hands and had a soft texture. I began pulling at the wrapping paper 'Must be clothes? Hm? Wonder what - the hell were they thinking!' It was a pink coloured silky/lacy cami and a crimson pleated mini.

"Uh? Who bought this for me?" I said looking around the room. A boy from Ravenclaw put up his hand nervously.

"I thought it would bring out the colour in your eyes," he said blushing. I soon realized that it was John Lexington. I smiled at him and thanked him. I put the clothes next to me and began picking at the other presents before me.

About 30minutes later, 3 butterbeers, 5 parcels of clothing, 6 boxes of sweets, 2 paper cuts and lots of hugs kisses.

I finally came to the last present. The present was in a box with red and gold wrapping paper; the paper had some medium sized holes in it. 'Wonder what the holes are for?' I lifted the package closer to my face peeping through one of the holes and I distinctly heard a slight bark. I eyed the box carefully and placed it on the floor before me.

I looked at the tag. "Oh it's from Oliver" I looked up at him smiling carefully. He was turning a slight pink in the cheeks "Don't worry Ollie, I'm sure I'll love it!" I said slightly hesitantly.

I tore into the wrapping paper and carefully lifted the lid from the box.

"Oh my god!" I fell back onto my butt, I looked up at Oliver "How could you! Where did you! Uh?" I said in complete shock. Oliver looked confusedly down on me. Everyone turned to Oliver and then looked back at me unsure of what it was.

A short silence filled the room, as everyone eyed the box carefully.

"So, What is it sweetie-" Angelina said breaking the silence from over my shoulder. She peered into the box "-'Oh my god', is definitely the right statement!"

Alicia pushed past Angelina in curiosity and put her hand into the box and pulled out a small Brown fox-terrier dog and placed it in the middle of the circle. A loud 'awe' filled the room.

I jumped up from off the floor and leaped onto an unsuspecting Oliver. This took Oliver by the surprise and he fell onto the floor, with me on top of him. I leant my head down and caught his lips with a smile.

"Oh my god! I love you! A pet puppy? God you're a genius!" I clambered off of him and gave him a hand up; he was smiling from ear to ear.

"I take it you like it then. Um, So what are you going to name her?" he said quickly getting up and ending up extremely close to me.

"Um? I might call it. Hm? How about you name her?" I said looking up into his eyes, with a big grin splayed across my lips.

"How about we call her 'Chocolate'?" he said looking deep into my eyes

"Perfect" I said in almost a whisper

"Ahem! So let's get this party started!" Angelina called out and the room was filled with music from a boom box.

They cleared the middle of the room so everyone could dance. And configured up some spotlights and dimmed the lighting and it soon turned into a giant mass of dancers and singers.

After 2 hours of going around and thanking everyone personally for their gifts, and dancing till my legs were sore. People finally started ushering out.

Eventually it was just me, Alicia, Angelina, George, Fred, Lee and Oliver left in the room.

I was leaning on Alicia, who was almost asleep on Fred's bed, Angelina was lying at the foot of the bed, Fred and Lee were stuffing their faces with Honeydukes chocolate, well Oliver sat separately leaning against a spare bed's, head board.

I carefully got up leaving Alicia to sleep and slumped over to Oliver.

"Hey. Thanks for tonight it meant a lot to me" I said falling onto the bed in a heap.

"Your welcome, hey, you should get some sleep. You look Horrible," he said with a slight chuckle.

I placed an arm over his chest, pushing myself so that I could lay my head on it, clearly tired.

"Thanks, so much from the person who's so tired they're drooling," I said into his chest, hiding a smile. He put a hand to the corner of his mouth. I giggled aloud, at him and got up

"I was only kidding!" I said to him before turning to my friends, shoulders slumping forward.

"Ok, I'm going to retreat back to my dormitory. I want the comfort of 'my' own bed, Come on Ange, Alicia off to bed" I said yawning slightly, well walking towards the door.

I saw Angelina and Alicia stumbling towards the door, leaning on each other heavily. I looked down shaking my head. "Guys a little help here?" I asked George and Fred.

They both came over and picked a girl up and went over to one of the portraits.

"Hey guys I don't think that, that is the way to-" Fred had swung it open and a tunnel was hidden behind it, he walked in followed by George. I assume it lead to our dormitories.

"-How come no one told me about this?" I said to no one in particular.

"Oh well anyway, thanks guys" I said giving Lee and than Oliver a kiss on the cheek.

"See you tomorrow-come on Chocolate" I called to her sleeping form. She got up gingerly and trotted over to me, I picked her up and entered the tunnel.

A few seconds into it, I saw the light emitting from my room.

I stepped through and saw Fred and George tucking each of the girls into their respective beds. Fred and George came over to the entrance were I stood, I kissed them each on the cheek, thanking them before they left through the tunnel.

I put Chocolate on the bed and took off my clothes, I crawled into bed and Chocolate curled up at the foot of my bed. I smiled to myself and closed my eyes. Tomorrow is a Sunday and Sunday Sleep in. I sighed out loud and pulled the covers up.
