CHAPTER3:
HOGWARTS GROUNDS-Hagrid's Hut:
"Why, 'ello there young missy! An' a h'ppy birthda' to ye!" Hagrid said giving Rina a great thump on the back as her and the Golden Trio made there way into his hut.
Harry and Ron took a seat at the table, while Hermione went straight to Fang. Rina waited for Hagrid to get his gift for her before she sat next to him on the bed.
"well open it rina!" Ron cried out impatiently.
"Oh all right!" she excitedly tore open the paper. Inside it was a gorgeous picture of the giant squid basking in the lake.
"Oh, Hagrid it's lovely!"
"I got the eldest Creevey boy ter take it fer yer birthday. Oh that'll be me cakes!" Hagrid said as a beep emitted from a small stove in the corner.
Everyone rolled their eyes and tried to swallow and keep down the confections that followed. All in all, by the time they left, Rina was glad she went. After all, it was the thought that counted with Hagrid. She decided she was going to go find Kate and Kim in the courtyard, though as soon as she got there she thought of turning and running in the opposite direction. She was getting tired of all these parties. Kate and Kim were dancing with a few of Marina's other friends.
"Come and dance with us Rina!" Kim called excitedly.
"You go dance Rina, me and Ron are gonna head on down to the Pitch and practice."
"Ok see ya later Harry!" Kate called after them. "What about you Hermione? You gonna stay and Par-tae!"
"Hahaha-no. I'm gonna head to the library. Ginny and Luna are waiting for me there anyway. See you three at lunch later!" Hermione waved as she ran off.
"well? Are you going to dance or pose as a wallflower?" Neville, who was dancing with Lavender, asked Rina.
"Well I-"Rina stopped talking in the middle of her excuse as she heard her favorite song come on. "Oh all right!" she jumped into the dance with her friends as the song played on.
"Ma-ia-hii Ma-ia-huu Ma-ia-hoo Ma-ia-haa Ma-ia- haha Alo, Salut, sunt eu, un haiduc, Si te rog, iubirea mea, primeste fericirea. Alo, alo, sunt eu Picasso, Ti-am dat beep, si sunt voinic, Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic.
Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma, nu ma iei, Nu ma, nu ma iei, nu ma, nu ma, nu ma iei. Chipul tau si dragostea din tei, Mi-amintesc de ochii tai.
Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma, nu ma iei, Nu ma, nu ma iei, nu ma, nu ma, nu ma iei. Chipul tau si dragostea din tei, Mi-amintesc de ochii tai. Te sun, sa-ti spun, ce simt acum, Alo, iubirea mea, sunt eu, fericirea.Alo, alo, sunt iarasi eu, Picasso,Ti-am dat beep, si sunt voinic,Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic.Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma, nu ma iei, Nu ma, nu ma iei, nu ma, nu ma, nu ma iei.Chipul tau si dragostea din tei, Mi-amintesc de ochii tai.

Chipul tau si dragostea din tei.Mi-amintesc de ochii tai Ma-ia-hiiMa-ia-huu Ma-ia-hoo Ma-ia-haa Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma, nu ma iei,Nu ma, nu ma iei, nu ma, nu ma, nu ma iei. Chipul tau si dragostea din tei,Mi-amintesc de ochii tai.Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma, nu ma iei,Nu ma, nu ma iei, nu ma, nu ma, nu ma iei.Chipul tau si dragostea din tei,Mi-amintesc de ochii tai."
As the song died down, Rina spelled herself a water and sat down. She had danced herself silly and decided she needed food.
"Hey guys!" she yelled over the music at Kate and Kim. "Let's go to lunch now….we'll make it in time for mail!" She beckoned them over and they followed her into the school. When they reached the entrance hall, they saw Hermione, Luna, and Ginny coming down from the library.
"Hey you guys done already?" Kim asked.
"Nope..." Ginny rounded the corner and entered the Great Hall first.
"You can join us after lunch if you like." Luna offered in her normal over polite and weird way.
"Ok sounds good to me." Kate spoke up. Kim and Rina nodded in agreement and Hermione smiled at the aspect of company her own age.
They went in and sat down at their respective tables; Luna at Ravenclaw and the rest of them at Gryffindor. Lunch was served almost as soon as they had sat down. On Rina's plate was a large sub sandwich made just the way she liked it. Everyone else had mashed potatoes, steak, pumpkin juice, and some apple cobbler. Beside her plate was a birthday cake and card. It was signed by Dobby, Winky, and some of the other Houselves. She smiled and dug in to her birthday meal, even as Hermione glared and began her spiel on how "your making them work harder and without extra pay! Those poor Houselves!"
Rina just continued eating hiding her smile and winking at Kate and Kim. They ate their meals in peace and had just started desert when the owls came in for mail. Three tawny owls, looking very much like a family, came in carrying a big package. They plopped it in front of Rina. Another white owl landed beside her with a letter addressed to her. She ripped open the card as the owls flew away. It was from her parents. The letter was as follows;
"Dear Marina-Rina," that was her dad's nickname for her.
"Happy birthday dearie!" that's what her mom called her.
"We hope you like your presents. We're in America with your Aunt Tallulah. She sends her love. The presents might seem odd but then again so are you. We will see you at summer! Enjoy! Pickled pops and cobweb drops," Just one of her family's many odd phrases.
"Love, Mum and Dad!"
"Oh dear lord." Rina thought to herself as she looked at her package. "At least it's not moving this time" she shuddered as she remembered the time when they decided to send her a live bat in a box for Halloween.
"Well? Aren't you going to open it?" Hermione asked looking at her quizzically.
"Or at least read the card aloud?" Kim added.
"No...Here you guys can read it." She passed the card to Kate and grabbed the box.
"Yeah, I always love your parents' cards. Hahahaha" Kate said causing everyone, even Rina to laugh.
Rina pulled off the brown wrapping paper to find balloon wrapping paper under it. After she pulled that off, with some difficulty because of all the tape and bows, she had a slightly a smaller box it front of her. She was a little nervous about it but thought what the heck it's worth a shot.
She pulled the tape off of the box and pulled out four odd shaped boxes wrapped again in bows and balloon paper.
"Do you think she wrapped it enough?" Ron snickered gaining a glare from all the girls and Harry kneeing him under the table.
The first present turned out to be all the O-zone memorabilia that Rina didn't already have. The second present was a scrapbook of her parents at the family reunion. The 3rd present was a little odd (understatement of the century). In the largest box, the 3rd one was a pair of washing hands and self scrubbing bubbles. They were set to demo mode and when they jumped out of the box they attacked Neville. With in minutes he was covered in bubbles and being scrubbed form head to toe with the plastic magicked hands.
After having a laugh, Rina waved her wand for them to stop and put them back in the box. She was still wondering why her parents would have thought to send her that as she opened the last gift. It was the smallest box and inside was a small yellow bottle.
"Wish elixir in a bottle. What's that?" Rina looked up to be met with 'ooing' and 'awing' faces.
"Only the rarest and coolest gift ever!" Dean said excitedly.
"Yeah, it's this liquid that after you drink it you have the power that any wish you make with in five minutes of taking it will happen and last a full 24 hours." Seamus explained.
"It was discontinued almost 15 years ago. Not many bottles left." Neville added.
"Wow" was all she could manage. A million thoughts ran through her mind all at once.
"How could my parents get it? What should I wish for? Is this for real? What am I going to do with this? How does it work again?..."
"Well, I'm going to go put all this away." Rina said after a long and awkward silence. Ron was about to ask her what she was going t wish for but Hermione and Harry simultaneously kicked him under the table. Rina chuckled as she gathered her stuff and went up to her room. As she made her way up to her room she went over her schedule for the rest of the day in her head.
"Go put all this stuff away, library with the girls, Harry and Ron's Quiditch scrimmage, then I have a half hour before lunch..." her train of thought went of again as she entered the Gryffindor Common Room.
"Now, about that wish" Rina spun around from where she was putting her gifts away above her bed. There stood her little green and blue friends from that morning.
"What do you two want now?" she grabbed the yellow bottle just in case.
"Just wish us to be real for one day, that way Kate and Kim will finally believe all your crazy dreams, lassie." the Australian leprechaun pretending to be Irish but sounding Scottish said.
"You know you want us to go about wreaking havoc." The Blue alien wriggled his fuzzy eyebrows at her.
Rina considered it for all of two seconds before shrugging and downing the bottle smiling. The rest of her day was going to be quite fun indeed.
