Cake
With Hagrid
After ridding himself of the third cake he had baked, Hagrid felt his hopes of making a cake for Harry's 11th birthday deflate.
He did not know why but he had this strong urge to wish the kid with a cake and to see him smiling.
So he tried again.
He put just the right amount of baking powder into the mix and for the the first time during all his tries he put the right amount of vanilla essence into the dry mix.
He set that into the oven which was preheated.
After it came out all fluffy, which was again a first, he set it down and let it cool.
"No, Fang! 'Tis one's not for you." He tried to instruct his dog, but no heed. So he put the cake on top of a cupboard and then went to get the strawberry cream he had made earlier.
He tried to put it evenly, he really did, but it was thick at some corners while thin at others. Well no matter it will taste sweeter at some parts, that's all.
He then saw the parchment on which he had written Happy Birthday Harry. It was lying somewhere on his bed only. He found it and checked it once again.
He then started writing it on the cake with green frosting, very carefully. He wrote H..A..P..P..I..E which covered the top half of the cake.
He then started writing the next word B..U..R..D..A..E which covered the bottom half of the cake.
Not much space was left to write Harry so he squeezed it in the edges. H..A..R..R..Y.
Here, the cake was complete.
It was a bit thick around the edges and the letters weren't all well written and at some places the frosting was breaking.
It wasn't the most beautiful cake ever but it will suffice.
It was made with love.
Time to give it to him.
