Today is the start of the festivities as it's Dom's birthday. Today me and Lucy are going to go to her house for a sleepover. Tomorrow we will go to Lucy's and then to mine. I'm all packed and ready to go to her house when my mom comes in. "I'm going to miss you so much!" "Mom, I'm going to Hogwarts in less than three weeks, and I'll be gone for months then, I do this every year and I'll only be gone two days." "I know, it's just that they are all ready for you and I wanted to say goodbye." "Oh, okay" I hug her "Love you Mom" "I love you too Lily"
After she stops squeezing me to death I head downstairs. Dom, Victoire and Lucy were waiting. "You ready?" Victoire asks. "Yup" I say as I go over to my Dad to say goodbye. "Bye Tigerlily, I love you" "I love you too dad" "Bye!" I yell out to my parents. "Tell Teddy I said Hi" Victoire said as she shut the door. Okay, everyone on their brooms while I do the enchantment. She ties my luggage on the back of my broom and does the enchantment to make it fly with the broom, hops on hers and says "We're off!" We kick off from the ground and start flying.
When we reached their house and landed Victoire said "Go ahead inside, I'll get your luggage." "Thanks!" Me and Lucy said at the same time. That night was so much fun, we had bouillabaisse and a variety of french foods all set up very posh. And for dessert we had Creme Brulee. A chorus of "Mmmmm" was all that could be heard. "Aunt Fleur, you are an amazing cook" I said, Lucy agreed by nodding, as her mouth was full of Creme Brulee. She laughed, sounding like jingle bells, " Well thank you very much, Dom has picked out a muggle film to watch, shall we?" Dom nodded vigorously. Though her English was very good, she still had an accent.
After dinner was all cleaned up, Uncle Bill said his goodbyes as he had an early morning. We all changed into our pyjamas and got some blankets and snuggled on the couch as we watched a Pitch Perfect Marathon. Aunt Fleur called Uncle Bill back down as he was not asleep yet to take a picture. After it was over we all went to bed and went to sleep.
The next day we were off again, this time to Lucy's house. She lives in London, rather than the countryside where me and Dom live. Once we got there we got ready to spend a day in London. We went with Molly, Aunt Audrey, and Uncle Percy. We spent the day in Muggle shops and went on the London Eye. "Closer! Get Closer Together!" The man taking our picture yelled, Once we finally got a picture we thanked him and left. When we got back to Lucy's house we had Lucy's favorite, Breakfast for dinner. We had eggs, bacon, pancakes, and toast. "Aunt Audrey this is phenomenal" Dom said, I agreed by nodding, my mouth stuffed with dessert, Brownies and Ice cream. We decided to play some muggle board games, like Monopoly, Uno, and Scrabble. Then we retired to our beds.
The next day we fly to my house, and see that Teddy and My Father are off work. "How are you here" I ask, "You didn't think that we wouldn't take your birthday off did you?" "Haha very funny, I knew you would try to get today off, I just didn't know if you could." That day was so much fun, played Quidditch and we had a picnic party for dinner with egg salad sandwiches, chicken salad sandwiches, lemonade, candied nuts, and for dessert, pie. After dinner we were worn out, so we watched a Disney film and went to bed.
The next morning my family all went to The Burrow. That was where our party was taking place. "Dom! Lucy! Lily! Happy Birthday!" Our Grandma said as she gave each of us a bear hug. "If you want you can go help your Grandpa decorate the back.
When we got our there our Grandfather welcomed each of us with a hug, and we spent most of the morning decorating the backyard. It was beautiful, we had three long tables each decorated with a mix of our favorite colors, Yellow, Blue, and Green. We had fairy lights strung up everywhere along with streamers. In the back we had a tent with blankets for people to sit in and three chairs for us, and the other side was empty, except for a music player, and that was for dancing.
After we were done decorating we went inside to help Grandma finish cooking the roast dinner and when she shooed us away, we began making dessert. It was a three tiered cake. One level was a chocolate cake with cherry filling and chocolate icing, the next one was an carrot cake with blueberry filling and cream cheese icing, and last was a lemon cake with raspberry filling and whip cream. We finished dessert and left it there to be carried out with magic later.
Then the guests began arriving, we told them where to put their luggage, and gifts. We told them to go find their seat and wait for dinner. After everyone arrived we all sat down and eat, joyfully catching up and laughing. Then came out the cake, everyone gasped in amazement as they saw the giant of a cake float out. The cake divided up itself and everyone got the piece they wanted.
After that was gifts. We always ask for small gifts because we get so many. My favorites were a leather-bound journal with flowery vines on it from Aunt Hermione and Uncle Ron, A silver Tiger lily necklace from Mom and Dad (Which I suspect is a tracking device because they told me to never take it off.) And a charm bracelet from Teddy.
My favorite part of the evening was when everyone was dancing and playing. After a couple hours of dancing, everyone got tired and went to bed. This by far was my best birthday ever. (*Sorry for the short chapter, I had Writer's block and did the best I could.*)
