A/N: WOW winter break has gone by so fast! I hope you all had a good holiday season! And a happy new year!

Chapter 4; Happy Birthday:

When Elladora woke up the next day she got dressed and went down to the common room, where she found Blaise, Theodore, Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle all sitting in a circle of chairs in front of the fire. Not only was this surprising, because it was 6 o'clock in the morning, and Draco normally doesn't get up 'till 7:30, but, even though the room was deserted, they were talking in hushed voices.

Elladora silently crept up on them, then yelled: "What are you boys doing up so early?"

They jumped so high you would have thought they were levitating. Elladora rolled on the floor laughing until her sides were sore.

"What's so funny?" Draco asked.

"Nothing, just you jumped so high, Draco that I could have sworn you were that bouncing ferret again!"

Every one joined Elladora's laughing, that is everyone except Draco, who just glared. Upon seeing Draco's face, Crabbe and Goyle stopped laughing. Elladora sat down next to Theodore once she stopped laughing, and asked:

"So, what are you doing up at 6 o'clock A.M.?"

"Nothing," Blaise muttered. And Elladora gave them a suspicious look. "Come on; let's go see if breakfast is ready." Blaise said dragging Elladora out of the common room, clearly towards the Great Hall.

The two ate breakfast, and watched as the Hall slowly filled up with students. When Draco, Theodore, Crabbe, and Goyle finally came into the hall, Elladora noticed Draco nod at Blaise, and Blaise smiled.

When she had finished her breakfast, Elladora moved to stand up, but Theodore said:

"Wait! Where are you going?"

"The common room, then to the library, so I can do my homework."

"You can't!" He said pulling her back down.

"And why not?"

"Because… umm… We have something to show you."

They all got up and walked down to the Slytherin common room. Where, over the Fire place, hung a sign that read:

Happy 17th Birthday Elladora!

"Ummm… Thanks you guys, but uh, you know you didn't have to do this, right?"

"Yeah," Started Draco, "But this is payback, for you going around to everyone in the common room on my birthday and giving them buttons that said 'Happy Birthday Draco'."

"Oh, but I thought that was sweet…" she said in a mock- kindness voice.

"And when you got those parrots to sing me 'Happy Birthday' Over and over again. And they followed me around the whole day!" Said Theodore.

"That was a good one though! You have to admit it! I mean I cot those birds to sing in 5 different languages!"

"What about when you asked all of my teachers not to give me homework, because it was my birthday?" asked Blaise.

"Well you did have less homework that night!"

"Only because you wouldn't shut-up until they gave you a satisfactory answer as to why the wouldn't excuse me from the assignment!"

"Still…how do you really know that today is my birthday?"

"Because today is December 15th, and unless for some reason Grandma always celebrated your birthday on a day that wasn't your birthday, for your whole life! It means today is your birthday!" said Draco.

"Well, you know Grandma was getting pretty old…"

"Oh shut up!"

"I'm just kidding!"

"Yeah, but you should still shut up." said Theodore.

"You can't tell me what to do! It's my birthday!"

"Whatever…"

They all sat down and continued talking until lunch. After that Elladora insisted on doing homework. And When the day was done, Elladora was glad she had a very Happy Birthday.
