Birthday Surprise
The room seemed to drain of its' warmth as she slowly opened the parchment letter, her hands trembling with an emotion she could not place. With wide eyes, she stared at the letter in her hands; she could not believe the emerald green words as they stretched across the page.
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry…
This was impossible, he couldn't be…
There was a knock at the door. Her heart froze.
"Come in!" She called, clutching the letter to her chest. There was a small pause before the door opened, revealing an elderly man and –
"Mum!" The smallest boy called, rushing to his mothers' arms. Behind him, his brother entered, already sporting the grace his father had trained into him. She smiled, trying to wipe any form of worry from her expression before they started to worry too.
"My Lady," the man called from the door, "breakfast is ready." She nodded, and smiled to the child in her arms.
"Are we ready for some birthday pancakes?" She smiled, looking to her older son. "Happy Birthday, Love."
"Thanks, Mom," he smiled back.
They left the room to face the day, the woman leaving behind the fateful letter. She would have to deal with that later. On the dresser the emerald ink seemed to glow in the rising sun.
