I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good -- birthday!

[alt_hermione]

Thank you all for your birthday wishes!!

Sally Anne, the bookmark is so thoughtful. It will be ever so helpful since I use Harry's books and I hate to bookmark them -- what if someone asks him about the things 'he's' reading? and he never reads.

And Terry, thank you also -- is that an aster on it?? What do you call that anyway? In any case it works perfectly, how did you know that that would be good for my hair? Only I can't wear it too much, it's too nice for a Mudblood. I'll have to ask someone to charm it to be hidden, but I think I might rather just keep it to look at.

Who gave me the chocs?? Only they're Snodgrass's, which is far too nice for almost any of you, isn't it, or was it you Pansy? I don't mean that in a mean way but well you know what I mean.

And to top it all off tonight when we came back from supper Harry asked if I would come to this little room, and I said yes, because he isn't allowed in my cupboard of course he said, and he had asked the house-elves to make me and him each a petit-four (although if there are only two of them why are they petit-fours??) and had a candle and sang Happy Birthday.

Anyhow I know there are many messages to send but just for now, it's a very happy birthday!

Sounds like it was a good day then.

Are the chocs as good as all that? I mean, I've heard of Snodgrass chocolates and all, but only about how they make them to look like brooms and snitches and other stuff like flowers and toadstools and pumpkins and all. And Brown was talking about them once, but it was about how they sell them in gold boxes and then wrap them in material that's got real gold threads in. I think that's probably nonsense. But what matters is what they taste like, yeah? So how were they?

Oh. And good on Harry, getting you a cake. Well, petit-fours (didn't know that's how you spelled those--is that French, d'you reckon? seems like everyone's mad to learn French now). Anywiz, if the elves made them, maybe they're learning how to make French food now, too? What do people eat over there? Or at Durmstrang? I heard Mum say they eat loads of fish in France and cabbage in Bulgaria, which, y'know, I hope the elves won't be learning new ways to cook cabbage.

Yes, an aster, the birth flower for September. (The same as on the little box I whittled for you earlier.)

I hope you can get someone to charm it for you. Maybe Fred and George can do it?

Sure, we can do that. What is it you made for her, professor?

It's a sort of barrette for holding her hair back. Thought it might be useful if she's ever brewing potions. Or just for every day. It's curved, and it's held in place with a stick you insert through holes on the ends.
