I do not own Harry Potter or Twilight

Special Birthday Interlude


Time-line: July 31; Alternate (or perhaps not) Future


"You do know that I'm a witch right?" Harry drawled as she sat back in the couch. "As in capable of doing actual magic?"

"Of course I do," Emmett grinned shamelessly, raising the top hat from his head, before dipping his head in an exaggerated bow. He even lifted the end of his cape with his free hand.

Harry's gaze flitted to the Vampire on her right.

"You put him up to this mockery didn't you?"

Apart from the small twitch of her lips, the blonde gave nothing away.

"Now, introducing my lovely assistant – Alice!"

Harry blinked owlishly as Alice strode into the room, smiling brightly, wearing a black and white pullover dress. She looked the part of a magician's assistant.

Harry's eyes slid over to the Vampire on her other side. "I can't believe you let her take part in this farce."

The blonde gave a one-shoulder shrug. "She wanted to wear the dress," the blonde said before he gave a small smirk, "I'm certainly not complaining."

Alice grinned at him.

Harry gagged at them.

Carlisle entered the living room, "I thought we were saving the show until after Harry ate."

The coven-head settled into one of the vacant couches regardless.

"So you're all going to sit and watch Emmett perform bastardized magic tricks?" She folded her arms, trying to look insulted, but the amusement was evident in her voice. Maybe she shouldn't have let slip her secret fondness for muggle magic tricks.

"Hey, I practiced really hard," he whined and finally Harry broke out in snickers. This was not what she had expected when Rosalie had all but kidnapped her from her shop.

"And so for my first trick, I will pull a rabbit out of my hat!"

That declaration had Harry laughing even more.

The shuttering of a camera drew her attention towards the only other Vampire that stood save for Emmett and Alice.

"You traitor," Harry accused even as she grinned at the bronze haired vampire. "I know that Rosalie isn't the only one who had a hand in this."

"I never endorsed this," Edward deflected, chuckling softly as he stowed the camera in his pocket.

"Out loud," Rosalie added with a smirk, tapping the side of her head. Harry glanced at them fondly.

"At least let her blow out the candles before we start," Esme chided lightly as she entered the room, a beautifully decorated, candle-lit cake in hand.

The pastry was placed on the coffee table, directly in front of Harry. The words 'Happy Birthday' were elegantly scripted onto it. The raven haired witch felt her cheeks heat up a bit, even as she smiled at the family of Vampires.

"Thank you everyone," she inclined her head gratefully before she took a breath and blew out the candles.

"Any time midget," Emmett announced before he made a show of waving the black wand in his hand. "Now let's get back to the show."

Harry rolled her eyes, but smiled happily nonetheless.

A/N: I did promise y'all a birthday special…the fact that that promise was made a year ago is beside the point. I know that it has been over a year since I last updated. I apologize, I got caught up with my other stories and with RL as well. This story isn't abandoned/dead – there will just be slow updates. I'm a bit rusty you see. I do however promise not to leave y'all hanging for over a year. Please check my profile for updates.

Thanks for reading.
