Squawky's Birthday

September 12th, 2000

11:30pm

Hooves paced around the common room, waiting for Blizzy to come from the girls' dormitories. He heard a sound and looked up to see a girl trying to enter the common room quietly.

"Oh hurry up, don't waste more time," Hooves said.

"Shush! You're making too much noise," Blizzy whispered.

"Alright, let's go and get Whizzy and Horsea to the Kitchens," he said.

Both of them walked on their tiptoes and left the Gryffindor Common Room. The portrait of the Fat Lady mumbled something unintelligible.

"Good thing she's drunk," Hooves whispered.

They went to the Slytherin Common Room and tapped three times on the wall with skulls.

"Creepy," the two muttered.

Horsea stepped out carefully and joined them. "I thought you would never come," she groaned.

Hooves simply pointed at Blizzy, who glared at him. The three made their way quietly to the Hufflepuff Common Room, and Horsea tapped on a barrel in the rhythm of Helga Hufflepuff. The door opened, and Whizpurr came out, smiling at everyone.

"Squawky will be pleased!" she whispered.

They went to the kitchens, and Hooves called, "Cody, can you help us please?"

A house-elf wearing a toga made of tea towels bearing the Hogwarts crest came to them. "Anything for you, Master and Misses!" he squeaked.

"Cody, don't call me Master."

"I is very sorry, sir," Cody said.

"It's alright, you'll get used to it," Hooves said. "Now, can you please take Brystal and Theia to Chopper's dorm?"

"Chopper, sir?" Cody asked.

"He means Copter," Horsea laughed.

Cody nodded and extended his hands. Blizzy and Whizpurr took each hand and nodded to Hooves and Horsea. Horsea called another elf named Edward to help with the decorations. About a minute later, Hooves and Horsea heard a crack and saw Blizzy and Whizpurr half-carrying, half-dragging Squawky.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY SQUAWKY!!!"

Squawky woke up with a jolt, falling off a table. Blizzy helped her up, trying not to giggle.
