Happy Birthday (Only a Few Days Late)

[hermione7lunaroc]

"DREW!" Lily called from the common room at the foot of the stairs to the boys' dorm. Having been warned and not really knowing if anyone was up there, she decided to remain in the common room. She felt so bad that she was gone and had missed his birthday.

She didn't hold much in her hands. It was a card in the shape of a triangle. The whole card was blue. On the front were several shapes - all 3-D. In the top left hand corner were 2 black bludgers. A little farther down the side was a broom with actual straw for the bristles and a little splinter for the handle. Near the bottom point was a red quaffle. Near the right center was a sparkling golden snitch with white wings moving lazily.

"WHAT?" Drew shouted down from the boy's room. He was going over his blueprints of the castle, looking for holes in his plan. So far he found three that would need to be fixed as soon as possible.

"COME DOWN HERE!" Lily shouted back. "JUST DO IT!"

[Drew Thornton]

"WHO ARE YOU, MY MOTHER?" Drew called back down though he was putting his things away.

[hermione7lunaroc]

"I HAVE A BIRTHDAY CARD FOR YOU!" Lily yelled back. "BUT IF YOU DON'T WANT IT-" She cut herself off.

[Drew Thornton]

"I'M COMING I'M COMING I'M COMING!" Drew shouted as he clamored down the stairs. He entered the room with a jump of the final four steps landing right in front of Lily. "You called?" he asked innocently, looking down at her and smirking.

[hermione7lunaroc]

"Yes," Lily said, crossing her arms. "I missed your birthday. You know you're doing it again."

[Drew Thornton]

"I'm doing what again?" he asked, taking a step back and trying to figure out what she meant.

[hermione7lunaroc]

"Being tall," Lily replied as if this was the most obvious. "Hold on," she said. "I'll be right back. I found something at my house that might help." She rushed up into her dorms and back. She set a small stool down on the floor and stood on it. It only made a couple of inches difference, but it was enough for Lily. "There," she declared proudly. "Now I'm not so short."

[Drew Thornton]

"Maybe you need to stop being so short," Drew told her as she ran off only to return with the stool. When she climbed up on it, he patted her on the head and grinned down at her. "Whatever floats your boat..."

[hermione7lunaroc]

"It does float my boat," Lily said. "I feel this much taller." She gestured with her fingers. "And that makes all the difference. You know I already checked and it fits in my bag but anyways I'm sorry I missed your birthday. I didn't know what else to get you, so I made you this card." She handed it to him.

((As I'm supposed to be getting off, the description is still in the first post. You'll know what's on the inside when I post again. ))

[Drew Thornton]

"Cool!" he said, taking the card and smiling at the front. "You know you didn't have to get me anything... or even make me anything."

[hermione7lunaroc]

"You're my friend," Lily said. "Besides, I couldn't forget your birthday. I never used to have birthdays really. Well I did but they were just me and my mum but anyways I'm getting off subject. Go on, open it."

On the inside he would find a bronze peice of paper with a poem written upon it. The poem read this:
A Drew
A Drew, a Drew, what’s in a Drew?
A single friend so kind and true?
Someone who will be always strong?
Someone who’s been there all along?
Is all of the above a choice?
It is and so I raise my voice
For the amazing Drew of Ravenclaw
Who never ceases to fill me with awe
Who’s still my friend through all mistake
(And you know there’s some pretty big ones I make)
And so in this poem, short but sweet
Happy birthday to a friend who can’t be beat!

[Drew Thornton]

"That's great," Drew told her after reading the inside. He looked at her and grinned. "Really. Thanks. I love it."

Lily smiled. "I worked really hard on it." She said, a bit proudly.
