It was the 12th of February, the day for the third gift to arrive, and mine hadn't come yet. I had gotten Albus his two gifts much earlier in the week, and he had already received them, right on time. I ended up finding a piece of Quidditch merchandise that he didn't have, a small leather necklace with a broom on it. And for the other gift, I found another muggle show about aliens called the X-Files, so I got him a boxed set of the first season, because I figured he would get a kick out of it. My two hints were: "I am part of a very large family," and "I have O's in all of my classes."
The other gift I received was a pygmy puff. I definitely wasn't expecting a living, breathing pet, but there you go. I named it Achilles, after the Greek hero. (Because why not increase my nerdiness by naming a pet after a figure from Greek mythology?)
The hint: "I am taller than you." Another extremely vague note, considering that almost everyone I knew was taller than me.
It was almost 9:00 at night, and I was beginning to wonder if my gift was ever going to arrive, when and owl flew to my window.
It was carrying quite a large package; I hurriedly freed the owl from its burden and sent it off with a treat and a pat.
Sitting down on the edge of my bed, I began to untie the green ribbon that was wrapped around it.
A sweatshirt. Merlin, that was super creative. I can't say I wasn't a bit underwhelmed. That is, until I unfolded it and saw what was hidden.
It read: "2022 Quidditch World Cup."
And two tickets fell out of the pocket.
Obviously, I screamed.
"Two bloody tickets to the Quidditch world cup! I can not be more EXCITED!"
Malfoy chose that moment to emerge from his lair that he calls a room, "Merlin Weasley, keep it down. It's not like your gift could be that great anyways."
I waved the tickets in front of his face, repeating my previous statement, "Two bloody tickets to the Quidditch World Cup you moron."
"Well then I expect you're taking your trusty friend and partner, Scorpius Malfoy?"
"As if Malfoy. I'm taking whoever got me this bloody brilliant gift, seeing as they are obviously someone who knows me well enough to know I've been waiting my whole life for this opportunity."
He just shrugged, and left. Weirdo.
As soon as his door shut behind him I realized that I hadn't read the clue yet, retrieving it from the floor where it had fallen when I jumped up I read, "I have blond hair."
Hmm. Well then it's probably Dominique. Or it could be Alice Longbottom. She's not technically family, but she's spent enough time with us at holidays and such that she should probably be considered as much.
Then I realized, they used the masculine form of blond. Both of them were smart enough to know the difference, so I realized that this must be from a male, blond, non-family member, who's taller than me and spends enough time with me to know exactly what I like.
This puzzle is going to be harder than I thought.
(A/N: For being top of her class Rose is a bit oblivious isn't she? XD Also, I know it's really short, and I'm incredibly sorry.)
