"Your birthday's tomorrow, right?"
She tore her attention from the Christmas festivities, locking eyes with Hermione. "...how?!"
Hermione nodded at Theo's brooch, carefully hidden behind outer robes. "That showed up a year ago. And you swore it wasn't a Christmas gift. Not sure why."
"...birthdays are for everyone. Only family gives jewelry on Yule."
"Pureblood nonsense?"
She smiled. "Muggles have rules too, you'd make excuses if someone gifted you a diamond ring."
A gasp. "It was that special?"
"...it was charmed." Which said nothing, and everything.
"Right. Well, I'm free, tomorrow."
A shy smile. "Thanks."
