Ann-Marie woke up in her bedroom on her sixteenth birthday, she sat up and smiled, she could tell it was going to be an age to remember, she got up and dressed and heard her mum calling
"Ann! Can you come downstairs?" Ann-Marie walked downstairs wondering what was going on, she looked and saw the kitchen table with a birthday present, a card and her parents smiling at her
"Happy Birthday!" they said as she ran up to them and hugged them.
"So, are you going to open your card?" said her mum, she grabbed the card and saw a Pgmy puff on the front with a badge attached saying 'My Sweet Sixteenth Today!' she put on the badge and opened the card, it said
Ann-Marie
Your growing up so fast, were so happy for you, no matter how old it makes us feel
Love
Mum and Dad
She hugged her parents and said
"Your not that old you know" and her parents laughed as she opened her present it was a certificate saying they had named a star after her,
"And also there's another surprise," said her Dad putting his arm around her Mum "But you won't see it until about nine months have been"
"Your going to have a baby brother or sister!" said her mum
"Wow! This is great! Wow!" said Ann-Marie hugging them both, and they heard a knock at the door.
"I'll get it," said Ann-Marie as she left the kitchen and walked through to the foyer, she opened the door and saw Alec with a birthday present and a card.
"Happy Birthday!" said Alec as he kissed her
"It's great to see you Alec!" they stayed there hugging until they heard a noise
"Ahem," they turned around and saw her parents giving them a smug look
"Why does everybody give us that look?" whispered Alec as Ann-Marie smiled
"So you must be Ann's Parents, Mr and Mrs Potter," said Alec
"Yeah but call us Harry and Ginny" said Ann-Marie's mum
"I'll just put your present in the kitchen, I'll be right back" said Ann-Marie leaving the room
"So, shall we go sit down in the sitting room then?" said Harry
"Yeah, OK," said Alec
"So, you and Ann, huh? You know we've heard a lot about you, you seem like a great person" said Harry
"Thanks" replied Alec
"So, how long have you known each other?" asked Ginny
"Well just under six years now, but we've been going out for two months" said Alec
Just then Ann-Marie walked in.
"hey Alec, where's Alicia?" asked Ann-Marie
"Oh, she's coming in about an hour with Crystal" replied Alec
"So, why don't we all go in the garden and play quidditch, you brought your broom right Alec?" said Ann-Marie
"Yeah, I did" said Alec
"Ok, lets all go play out side, me and you versus my parents" said Ann
"Sounds like fun, don't you think, Gin?" said Harry
"lets go" said Ginny as they walked out the door with Ann-Marie and Alec not far behind, they played for an hour and were all laughing together like old friends by the time Crystal and Alicia showed up.
"Happy Birthday Ann!" they said as she opened the door they all hugged and walked into the kitchen were her parents and Alec were waiting.
"Hello, Harry and Ginny, I hope my brother hasn't been to much of a pain," said Alicia
"Oh well you know how it goes when a girl brings a boyfriend home there's always a fight, I think we were pretty easy on him" said Ann-Marie's dad. "No, I'm just kidding, he's been great, well I think your mother and I will go get the presents out the cupboard" and with that Ann-Marie's parents walked of, Ann-Marie kissed Alec on the cheek and said
"Thank you"
"For what?" replied Alec
"For being so perfect"
