A/N – ooh the plot seriously thickens!
Anyone
"Ginny was supposed to be back by now!" Mione half shrieked at Ron. He had said a week it had now been two weeks. Mione was freaking out and Alias was sleeping. Although no one could see how she managed to do it while Mione basically shrieked in her ear. "Mione if you don't shut up I'll personally staple your lips shut." Alias' moody growl came from the couch. Everyone was being very wary around her, she seemed so overly touchy and moody lately that no one was sure what the hell was going on. Even Mione who had pegged it on PMS was wrong.
Mione sulkily sat down in the chair, pouting. Alias sat up and looked around. "Ron try sending a letter to your mother, see if Ginny had to stay home for some reason. Then we can worry once the letter is returned." They all nodded, it was sensible. Alias lay back down on the couch and went to sleep again. It was then that something dawned on Alias. She sat up and looked around for a second. "Has anyone seen Malfoy?" Everyone gave her a look like she was insane.
"The last time I saw him was a week ago, just before Ginny left." Ron looked appalled. "You don't think he kidnapped my sister do you?" Alias rolled her eyes at him a little bit before regaining her composure. "No Ron. I just think something is going on." Without explaining further she left the room. Harry walked in the room just as Alias passed by him. "Well incase none of you noticed Christmas is coming soon, so Ginny might be just staying until after Christmas, lets tackle the problem then alright?"
They all nodded, it seemed logical that, that might have been what happened. As Harry left the room he was impacted by a small little creature. "Dobby, what are you doing?" Dobby looked up at Harry with admiration. "Harry Potter sir, Dobby brings a gift for Harry Potter sir." Harry laughed a little at the elf's bad grammar. He took the gift from the elf and was surprised at the weight of it. Before Harry could ask who the present was from Dobby was gone. He read the card. All it said was; 'Don't open till Christmas. Happy Christmas Harry.'
He walked back into the room and placed the present on the couch. "What's that mate?" Ron looked at the present Harry had set down and then looked back to Harry. Harry shrugged. "No clue, it isn't signed." They all shrugged and no one even decided to go look for Alias, it wasn't that they didn't appreciate her oh no they did. It was just that she had been so moody lately that no one wanted to be around her.
Suddenly Harry stood up. "What's the date today?" Everyone looked at Harry like he was off his rocker. "October 30th…why?" Harry rushed from the room, leaving everyone in a stunned manner at his actions. Harry found Alias outside by the lake. The rest of the group had followed to see what was going on. But they stayed out of sight. "Alias?" She looked over at Harry her mood still dark.
"What Harry?" He pulled her into a hug. "Happy Birthday Sass." Alias melted and hugged him back. "How did you know that's what I needed to hear?" He shrugged, still hugging her. "Well I knew it was your birthday and no one else knows and you told me a while back that you had never had a good birthday because no one had ever been there. Well I'm here." Alias pulled back and kissed Harry on the cheek. He turned a little red at her actions. "Thanks Harry, you don't know how much that means to me."
