In the quiet confines of the Potter household, Lily Luna sat on her bed with her guitar in hand, strumming the chords to Taylor Swift's "Castles Crumbling." The haunting melody echoed through her room, the lyrics painting a vivid picture of love lost and the crumbling of once-majestic fortresses.
Meanwhile, down the hallway, Rose Weasley, Lily's cousin and close friend, couldn't help but overhear the soulful performance. Jealousy flickered in her eyes as she leaned against the doorframe, her own musical ambitions overshadowed by Lily Luna's talent.
As the last notes faded, Lily Luna looked up to see Rose standing in the doorway. A mixture of surprise and insecurity flashed across Rose's face. Lily Luna, unaware of the envy simmering in her cousin's heart, smiled warmly, inviting Rose into the room.
Caught in the act, Rose couldn't hide her feelings and awkwardly complimented Lily Luna's singing. Lily, being oblivious to the underlying tension, suggested they collaborate on a song together. However, as they began to play, Rose struggled to match Lily's natural talent.
The room filled with an awkward silence as the harmonies clashed instead of blending seamlessly. Rose, feeling the weight of her own insecurities, excused herself, claiming she had some homework to finish.
Left alone in her room, Lily Luna couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. She found herself caught between the joy of her musical expression and the unintended strain it had placed on her relationship with Rose.
In the days that followed, Lily Luna tried to bridge the gap by encouraging Rose's musical pursuits, but the seeds of jealousy had already taken root. The tension lingered, and the once-harmonious relationship between the cousins felt like a castle slowly crumbling.

On Lily Luna's birthday, the Potter household was buzzing with excitement and a touch of enchantment. This year, Lily had chosen a Percy Jackson and the Olympians (PJO) theme, infusing her celebration with a dose of demigod magic. The house was adorned with banners featuring tridents and thunderbolts, and the air was filled with the aroma of blue birthday cupcakes resembling the sea.
In her room, Lily Luna excitedly donned a Camp Half-Blood T-shirt and a necklace with a trident pendant – a gift from her parents. Her friends and family, dressed in a mix of demigod and mythological creature costumes, gathered in the backyard, which had been transformed into a mythical campsite.
As the day unfolded, there were games inspired by the world of Percy Jackson. A "Capture the Flag" tournament brought out the competitive spirit in everyone, and a quest-style scavenger hunt led the participants on a journey to find hidden treasures scattered throughout the yard.
The highlight of the celebration was a magnificent blue cake designed to resemble the ocean waves, adorned with miniature models of Camp Half-Blood cabins. Lily Luna beamed with joy as she made a wish and blew out the trident-shaped candles.
The evening continued with a bonfire, reminiscent of the campfire gatherings at Camp Half-Blood. Lily Luna strummed her guitar, treating her friends to a rendition of Taylor Swift's "Castles Crumbling," this time with a demigod twist, capturing the essence of adventures, struggles, and the bonds formed at Camp.
The celebration stretched into the night, with stories of legendary quests and shared laughter under the starlit sky. As the clock struck midnight, Lily Luna felt a sense of fulfillment, surrounded by loved ones in a celebration that seamlessly blended the magic of the wizarding world with the enchantment of Percy Jackson's universe. It was a birthday she would remember, where the realms of mythology and magic intertwined, creating memories as timeless as the stories of Camp Half-Blood itself.
Scorpius Malfoy, Lily Luna's close friend, joined the PJO-themed birthday celebration, embracing the demigod spirit with a grin on his face. Dressed in a Camp Half-Blood T-shirt like the rest, he brought an air of mischief and camaraderie to the festivities.
Throughout the day, Scorpius and Lily Luna shared laughs, participated in the demigod games, and even teamed up for the scavenger hunt, displaying an unexpected but genuine camaraderie that mirrored the friendships forged in the world of Percy Jackson.
As the evening unfolded, Scorpius found himself by Lily Luna's side during the bonfire. The crackling flames cast a warm glow, and as Lily Luna strummed her guitar, Scorpius couldn't help but be captivated by the magical atmosphere. The demigod-themed rendition of "Castles Crumbling" resonated with the challenges and triumphs they had faced together.
Later in the night, under the starlit sky, Scorpius presented Lily Luna with a small wrapped package. Inside was a beautifully crafted trident necklace, a symbol of their shared adventures and a token of their growing friendship. Lily Luna, touched by the gesture, beamed with gratitude.
As the celebration continued, Scorpius and Lily Luna found themselves immersed in the magic of the PJO theme, forging memories that transcended the boundaries of their magical worlds. It was a birthday that not only celebrated the fusion of wizardry and demigod tales but also the bonds that went beyond the pages of mythology and into the realm of genuine friendship.
While the PJO-themed celebration continued for Lily Luna and Scorpius, Rose Weasley couldn't shake off the growing frustration that had taken root in her. As she watched Lily Luna and Scorpius share moments of camaraderie, her jealousy simmered beneath the surface.
The laughter and genuine connection between Lily Luna and Scorpius fueled Rose's inner turmoil. The trident necklace Scorpius gifted Lily Luna didn't go unnoticed, and Rose couldn't help but feel a pang of resentment, as if her own presence at the celebration had been overshadowed.
Attempting to conceal her emotions, Rose excused herself from the group, finding a secluded spot in the magical garden. The flowers, normally a source of comfort, now mirrored her conflicted feelings. Fuming with jealousy, Rose couldn't shake the irrational sense of loss that had taken hold.
In her solitude, Rose grappled with the realization that Scorpius might harbor feelings for Lily Luna. The PJO-themed night, meant to be a joyous celebration, now felt like a battleground of emotions. Rose knew she needed to confront her feelings, but the prospect of doing so weighed heavily on her.
As the night progressed, Rose faced a choice: to let her jealousy consume her or to find the courage to address the underlying emotions. The magic of the evening, intertwined with mythology, became a backdrop for Rose's personal quest—one that mirrored the demigod journeys she had read about, navigating through emotions as intricate and unpredictable as the paths of Olympus.
As the magical celebration continued, the time arrived for Lily Luna to cut her PJO-themed birthday cake. The anticipation in the air was palpable, and the room brimmed with excitement. However, Rose Weasley, still fuming with jealousy, seized an opportunity to release her pent-up frustration.
As Lily Luna prepared to make the first cut, Rose, wearing a forced smile, positioned herself nearby. In a sudden and deliberate move, she bumped into Lily Luna, causing her to accidentally smash her face into the cake. Gasps echoed through the room as cake and frosting adorned Lily Luna's once-smiling face.
Rose, feigning surprise, quickly muttered an apology. "Oh, Merlin! I didn't see you there, Lily! Total accident, I promise!"
The room fell silent for a moment, the tension palpable. Lily Luna, though momentarily stunned, managed a good-natured laugh, attempting to play off the incident. However, the awkwardness lingered as guests exchanged uncertain glances.
Despite the unexpected turn of events, the celebration pressed on. Lily Luna wiped away the cake, and with a gracious demeanor, continued to share slices with her friends. The incident, veiled as an accident, left a bittersweet aftertaste, a subtle reminder of the undercurrents of rivalry and envy.

Throughout the evening, Rose found herself avoiding interactions with Scorpius and Lily Luna, unable to shake the guilt that gnawed at her. The once-bustling camaraderie felt strained, with Rose becoming a silent spectator rather than an active participant.
As the night wore on, Lily Luna approached Rose, expressing concern and a desire to understand if something was amiss. Rose, grappling with her own emotions, brushed off the inquiry with a half-hearted excuse. The emotional distance between them deepened, casting a shadow over their once-close relationship.

The demigod-inspired night became a metaphorical quest for understanding, as Rose navigated the labyrinth of her own feelings and the repercussions of her actions on the bonds she held dear.In an attempt to infuse some joy back into the atmosphere, Lily Luna decided to invite Scorpius for a dance when "Love Story" by Taylor Swift began playing.
