Make a Wish – Filius Flitwick
17th October 1984
It was his birthday and, after another glorious Hogwarts meal and a new set of books from the staff he had to say he was rather happy. After all, it wasn't every day a wizard turned fifty. Filius sat back in his chair and closed his eyes in contentment.
He didn't notice the house elves bring in the giant cake, nor did he see Dumbledore stand up and gesture to the students residing in the Great Hall. He did, however notice the Hall grow quite. He opened his eyes and came face to face with a cake bigger than him.
'HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR PROFFESER FLITWICK, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!'
He wasn't expecting the round of singing. The sheer joy at having all the people he cared about remember his birthday brought tears to his eyes.
'Blow out your candles Filius! And don't forget to make a wish.' Whispered Professor Sprout into his ear with a wink.
There was only one thing he could think of to with for. Something he'd wanted since puberty. So he closed his eyes and blew.
'I wish to grow an inch'
