Happy Birthday, Nicholas
Birthday boy was thirteen. A year older, probably not getting any wiser and hopefully not grumpier. Aurora spent the last two weeks preparing the gifts for him, from writing things and putting them into a jar and bribing her cousin, Rotten Macaroni, to lend his skill and teach her how to knit. She wished she had more time because knitting was terribly hard. Dramatically speaking, she wanted to just bury herself six feet under, but she would do anything for the boy that probably thought being happy was a sin. So she finished the decent looking scarf, with fried egg decorations here and there. It wasn’t Aurora’s creation if it wasn’t unique. Hopefully the boy wouldn’t be too embarrassed to wear it in public. She made it with sweat and tears and all Nicholas had to do next was appreciate it. The other gift, however, was not that hard to do. She did give one of her dormmates, Winnie Harper, a similar one. It was quite a thoughtful one, she wrote each one by expressing her heart, it was raw. A jar full of affirmation. He deserved all the compliments in the world, she just wanted to be there for him even when she physically cannot be there.you don't have to reply lol bye @Nicholas McCowan
Once the gifts were ready, she put the scarf in a little paper bag, along with the jar and a letter, then she put a tag on it that said ‘from Aurora to Nicholas’ and rushed to the owlery and gave it to her family owl. And now she waited.
Dear, Nicholas
Hello! Happy Birthday to my second favourite person. Sorry, Lucifur is and will always be the first one and yes, he’s a person.
I’m not very good at wishing someone a happy birthday, I guess I’ll just wish that everything you wish for will come true. But personally I really hope you will find your happiness, I think that is the most important thing to me. I don’t want to miss the opportunity to thank you for making me smile, and remind you that you are awesome and I really like you. I feel like you already know it but hey, I like you. There, I wrote it again. You’re old now. I hope your bones will not be rickety anytime soon.
It’s not much, but I hope these can make you smile a bit. Rest that face, will you? Smile more! The first gift is a jar full of things that I wrote, and you have to open one everyday, or you can skip, up to you. I wrote a clearer explanation on the jar. I just really hope that I could brighten your mood even when I’m not there. And the second one is a scarf. I’ll have to admit that my cousin helped me with it because I cannot knit. I’m trying to make it at least decent, I’m sorry if you see holes here and there, I’m not a professional.
Again, Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday, Nicholas
Nicholas hadn't exactly gone out of his way to advertise his birthday. Part of him was excited to finally reach his teenage years, and he certainly was excited to no doubt receive presents from his family. No doubt his folks would send them in droves, as they were want to do, but he'd most definitely not spoken about it at length with any of his schoolmates. A mention in passing, an answer to the occasional question, but the date itself seemingly snuck up out of nowhere. There had been other things to think about, broom racing naturally and, of course, the Midspring Ball and the announcement of not only the Hexwizard tournament but the climax of his year-long crush on Aurora Ranvier had left little time for birthday planning.
But that very same girl seemed to not forget. Where he had expected to spend his Saturday as he would any other, he was instead surprised by the arrival of not only an owl, but an owl bearing gifts. Heartfelt, thoughtful gifts. A jar of affirmations, each as sweet as the sugar that he imagined Aurora snacked on near constantly, and a distinctly breakfast-themed scarf. Truthfully, it wasn't Nicholas's usual style, but he was hardly the sort to put much stock in fashion in any case.
All in all, the boy was taken aback with joy and surprise. She cared, she truly did, and in spite of himself and any embarrassment that a 13 year old boy may have felt, he tied the scarf around his neck and took to working on an owl in response.
It was quaint, really, sending letters to one another despite being in the same school. yet, Nicholas could not help but beam as he penned quill to parchment, the smile not fading even as he attached the letter to an owl and sent it toward the rainbow Ravenclaw.

Thank you! I didn't know that you remembered my birthday, I'm blown away. You've made me smile, and I'll try to keep smiling because you said you liked it and I want you to be happy because I like your smile too. So thank you again. I like you too. But you should know that by now. So, yeah you're the coolest person ever, and I'm really glad that I get to see you and spend time with you and stuff.
I'll wear the scarf next time I see you. It's warm. You're good at knitting, even if your cousin helped you out. I hope he doesn't die in the tourn- Tell him thank you for me.
I owe you a hug.
Yours
Nick
