"ReiRei, where are you doing?" I asked seeing my friend sneaking out of the borrow. "Oh Megan… Hey… Ummm I was just going to take a stroll. Maybe go shopping." She chuckled nervously. "Liar!" I walked up to her and frowned. "You're one of my best friends and you are lying to me." She gulped loudly, "Well you see… HERMIONE AND GINNY WANTED TO GO OUT AND BUY YOUR BIRTHDAY PRESENTS AND I WAS GOING TO GO HELP THEM! DO NOT KILL ME!" She confessed. "My birthday presents? Why? It's not for another month."
"No it is not. Megan, it is already June 6th." I ran to the nearest calendar. "Oh man! I completely forgot my own birthday! What is wrong with me?" I groaned in annoyance. "How could you think of it? All you think about is the young red headed boy in this house." She winked and scurried off before I had time to reply. "Oh that girl…"
I walked into the living room seeing Harry fall out of the fireplace, "Ow! That girl is nuts" he whispered to himself as he began standing up. Then Cassi appeared and stepped on Harry, "GOOD MORNING! CASSI IS HERE!" She announced loudly before dropping her gaze on her brother. "You idiot! Why would you lay right where you know I was standing?" She scolded as she moved off of her brother's back. "Cassi, every year you seem to make such a lovely appearance." I laughed. "MEGAN! I MISSED YOU!" She smiled and hugged me tightly. "So how is lover boy?" She winked. "You and ReiRei both. Come on you know I don't like him like that." I groaned.
"Keep lying to yourself. You just can't admit you see him as a man and not a little boy." She replied as she ran up the stairs yelling at everyone to wake up. "Sorry about her. She is a bit TOO excited about your birthday coming up" Harry apologized. "It's ok. Really it is." Harry smiled and he walked away. "Hey Megan. Can you believe it?" Tsi appeared. I jumped, "Tsi, I HATE when you do that!" She laughed, "Sorry. But still. It doesn't feel like a year ago Voldemort was defeated and we graduated. I still feel like we will be going back to Hogwarts."
"Yea, I know it is crazy. Cassi is off trying to teach Potions, ReiRei is trying to teach Transfigurations, and you, Mrs. Future Finnigan are living with Seamus and planning out your life. Here I am alone forever and no plans yet." I groaned. Tsi put her hand on my shoulder, "No one is rushing you to decide your life. You also won't be alone. You have the gang! We have been together since year one. That friendship will never go away. I'll go get us some tea ok?" She smiled. I sighed, "Maybe she's right."
"Who's right?" Ron asked sitting beside me. "Oh nothing. Just talking to myself"
"Alright? So where are the girls?" I shrugged. "They said something about going shopping." He nodded, "Oh I see. Well tomorrow how about I take you out somewhere? Just to get out of this stuff house." He suggested. I smiled "Sure, I would like that a lot." "Cool, be ready at 8… In the morning not evening." He chuckled as he slipped out of the room. I went to my room and jumped up and down, "Wow, Ron Weasley asked me out!... Wait we are just going as friends. It isn't a date." Then that evening I went to sleep awaiting my 'outing' with Ron.
I woke up the next morning at 7:30 and dressed up then headed downstairs to be greeted by everyone, "Morning" they all said casually. 'Did they already forget my birthday?' ReiRei was sipping her oranger juice casually, Tsi and Cassi were helping Molly cook as usual. Hermione and Ginny were talking about their lives. The boys were laying in the living room complaining about being hungry, and Ron was at the front door waiting for me. "You ready?" I nodded slowly feeling rejected in the house and he escorted me out. I looked back seeing George and Harry peaking out the window. I sighed, "What's wrong? Did I already bore you?" He chuckled. "No that's not it. It just feels like I am unwanted today in the house. Plus everyone seems to have forgotten my birthday." I explained. "It's your birthday? Oh man I completely forgot… I'm kidding! Happy Birthday Megan. I will give you your present tonight. Let's just go out first" he smiled. "Ok" I smiled back.
We went everywhere in Diagon Alley and we had such a blast. We sat out by the Shrieking Shack and reminisced on old memories, "… And then ReiRei came over and smack Draco right in the face. His expression was priceless!" I laughed. "I still can't believe such a kind girl like her is still with that thing. How can she stand him?" His face scrunched together. "She loves him. You do know how love is? You can't exactly just choose a random person and say you love them." I smiled. "I guess so… Oh man, it is getting late. Let's get home." He took me by the hand and we walked back home. "I don't think anyone is here." I whispered as we entered the dark hallway. "No I am sure someone is here. He led me to the living room and the lights flicked on, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEGAN!" Everyone shouted and I stared in shock. I heard Ron chuckled beside me, "You knew? And you didn't tell me!" I playfully hit him. "And have ReiRei kill me. I think not." Right on que ReiRei ran and hugged me. "You are surprised? Please say you are surprised?" "Yes I am surprised." I laughed as I hugged her back. "Good come on! We have presents for you to open." She pulled me away from Ron and he scurried up the stairs.
The party was long but it was fun seeing Sally, Lupin, and their son and Sirius, Keisha, and their son. Everyone soon headed up stairs and wished me the best and I slowly walked to my room to see a little jewelry box on my bed. I picked it up and note was attached.
Come to the pond.
I curiously followed what the note said and I walked to the pond but no one was there. I sighed turning to walk back inside, but instead I ran into someone. "Oh, Ron. Sorry I didn't see you there" I smiled lightly. "It's fine. I'm just glad you came." He smiled and took my hand. "You wrote that note?" He nodded. "Now for one of your two gifts." He spun me around and clipped a necklace on my neck. I looked at it and noticed it was a ruby red diamond. "And… gift two. Fred! George!" He shouted and fireworks appeared forming words. 'WILL YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND MEGAN MILLER! YOURS RON WEASLEY!' I looked back at him to see he was already looking at me. "Your answer?" He asked.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" I shouted and hugged him tightly which he returned. As we pulled away his lips captured mine and I felt my whole world melt. We pulled away a little out of breath and he grinned, "I choose you."
"What do you mean?" I asked. "You said we don't choose who we love, but you are wrong because I chose you to fall in love with." Before I could reply he kissed me with more passion then the last. This birthday was probably the best one yet…
"No it is not. Megan, it is already June 6th." I ran to the nearest calendar. "Oh man! I completely forgot my own birthday! What is wrong with me?" I groaned in annoyance. "How could you think of it?
