Special day and special friends - Justin Fletchley imagine
It was currently September 6th which meant that Beatrice birthday was on the following day. Although the classes had began just a couple of days ago, students at Hogwarts were rather occupied with homework; professors didn’t like to waste time. Given this reason, she thought that her birthday was going to be spent taking classes and then having some quiet time reading her favorite books in her common room. However, she didn’t know that her friends Dianne, Justin, Hanna, Luna, Susan, Hermione, Cedric, Neville and the Weasley twins were preparing a surprise for her. In fact, they had been planning it since mid August before they got to Hogwarts by sending letters; the poor owls were getting tired of their beloved owners.
Since her friends were from different houses, they decided to celebrate it in the quidditch field instead of doing it in one of the common rooms. All of them decided that they were going to meet in the quidditch field. However, Justin was the person that had to take her to the field since everyone thought that it was time for him to reveal his feelings to the birthday girl. Therefore, once their last class was over, Justin told Beatrice that he wanted her to accompany him to the Astronomy tower. He convinced her of doing so by saying that it was to verify if he had answer his homework correctly.
Once they got to the astronomy tower, Beatrice realized that there was a table set with food and her favorite snacks along with pumpkin juice. He smiled at her with a mix of excitement and nervousness as he pulled a chair for her to sit on. After she sat down, she questioned him about what he was going to verify for his homework and also, why was the table set up. Therefore, Justin said to her that this was just a little surprise that he wanted to give her in order to celebrate her birthday. She looked at him in shock and asked him “How did you remembered?” to which he answered “Because you are special to me and always remember my birthday, making sure I have a special day even if it is on the same day that classes begin”.
At that moment, Beatrice thanked him and said that she was grateful for having someone like him at Hogwarts. He understood better than anyone what being a muggleborn was like in the Wizarding World. Both of them entered Hogwarts in the same year and eventually got sorted into Hufflepuff. This meant that their friendship kept growing as time went by and eventually they started developing feelings for one another. However, neither of them had admitted it to one another which was rather odd, considering that they would tell everything to one another.
Besides, they were very outgoing and honest which made their friends wonder when or if they were going to express their feelings. Anyway, Justin wanted to reveal his feelings during this birthday celebration while the two of them were by themselves. Therefore, once they finished their food, he stood up and held her hands as they both walked to one of the areas of the tower in which they could enjoy the view. They were focusing on the view but suddenly he began to look at her and that was when he began expressing his feelings for her. After he poured his heart out, he looked back at the view and remained silent; that was when Beatrice looked at him and grabbed his face as she told him that the feeling was mutual.
Justin looked at her in shock but also excited which made Beatrice laugh as she gave him a small peck of his lip. Subsequently, he asked her if she wanted to be his girlfriend and she jokingly rolled her eyes then said “Didn’t my kiss confirmed that I am your girlfriend already”. When she saw that he was confused, Beatrice chuckled and said “I would not kiss someone that is just my friend Justin”. In that moment, he gave her a tender hug that lasted for almost a minute and then they both pulled away. Then he said that their was another surprise for her but he couldn’t tell her what it was.
He grabbed her hand and lead the way to the quidditch field where her friends were waiting for her. When they arrived the lights from the quidditch field were turned off and some fireworks began to be thrown. Once she looked at the fireworks, Beatrice realized that it said “Happy birthday lady B” and it was signed by “Fred and George”. Subsequently, the lights turned on and a birthday cake was in the middle of the field waiting for her. Then all of her friends began walking towards the birthday cake and sang “Happy Birthday” to her.
As she finished blowing the candles, they all took and ate a little piece of the cake. When they had finished eating, her friends and now boyfriend shouted “Its PRESENTS time”. All of them made a line in front of her in order to hand her the gift that they had gotten her. Luna gave her a copy from the quibbler, Hermione got her a muggle book that Beatrice really wanted, Fred and George gave her candy made by them, Cedric got her a figurine of her favorite quidditch player, Susan and Hannah gave her bracelets made by them, Neville got her a magical plant and Dianne gave her a cd from a magical band. Finally, it was Justin’s turn to give her a gift, he told her as he got a necklace that had a small silver heart “It may not be much but I hope you like it”.
She hugged and thanked them all as she was given the gifts that meant a lot to her. They all smiled at her and said that it was the least that they could do for her after everything she had done for them. After that conversation was over, Fred and George proceeded to put some music on which of course had to be at a decent volume for them to not be caught. They all danced, talked and spent a lovely time together as they celebrated their friend. That was until Luna who was tracking the hour said that they should be getting back to the castle; some of them complained which made Beatrice laugh but she knew that it was best for them to leave.
*As a matter of fact, it was one of the most lovely birthday that she has had at Hogwarts*
