Special day Finished

There's someone else appeared to hear us, maybe we are talking loud? But no, I guess it's just obvious, now Linda think, you have two people now, who are ready to bake cake, I guess I can go with both. Lemon cake sounds interesting, I didn't try it before.

"Hey, yea. It's my birthday. Lemon cake? I never tried one, I guess it will be great."
Azrael, what do you think if we will have two cakes?"

I guess that should be great, and now it seems like there's gonna be a nice party. Suddenly Linda got friends to share this day with, after my birthday will finish, I will ask them about them, so I can also prepare something on their birthdays and just it will be great to know them more. Today I will just enjoy and let this day bring everything it prepared for me. But it seems to be time to move to another location. Wait, what was this girl's name? I don't think she said about it... Lemons fell from her robes, I will help her to collect them again and know her name.

"Let me help you. My name is Linda. Linda Ramirez. What's your name? It's nice to meet you. Azrael was thinking about arranging party, so you can join us."

Why I want to show her this stuffed rabbit as well? On the other side, I am just so happy about this gift and everything what is happening here, guess I am ready to show it to everyone who would just be interested. Or maybe because I still didn't decide about name...

"As we already have two ideas for cake, I offer lemon cake to be now, then we could walk some time, then go to prepare ourselves for party and there will be Azrael's cake. What do you think about it?"

If everyone will agree, I guess we could move to another location already, we are not going to spend whole day in the library, beside I feel like someone gonna ask us to leave as we are becoming louder.

Azzy had zoned out and came to at the question. Two cakes? That was a stretch, but Azzy was sure with some sugar and a miracle they could make it happen. how about red velvet? Two cakes? Well with some sugar, flour, time and a miracle I could. Now let's talk placing. How about we hold it at the Astronomy Tower? It's grown quite a bit. And I figured it's the best way to accommodate so many of us." Azzy explained. But they were beginning to be a bit uncomfortable. They didn't like people as it stood. And people weren't their strong suit. Anxiety go brrr. They took a deep breath. "We could split into teams and decorate the area as well. This way we could optimize everything. As for the color scheme. What about gold and purple? A reasonable color scheme. No need for anything that blinds people when the look at that. After all the color scheme is very important. Azzy had gotten lost in thought, enough that they wouldn't even know anyone even snuck up on them at that point and they enjoyed having the time to sit down and plan these things for once, they'd never even been invited to a birthday party.

"The Astronomy tower? No way, I don't even think we're allowed up there besides during class. A better option would be outside." Ciel had faintly remembered some rules the last time she attended Astronomy- not that she ever paid attention. The night sky was pretty, sure, but it bored her to death. Nothing was fun about the moon, that's for sure.
"Oh yeah, I can help bake cakes too! I'm really good at that kind of stuff. And I'm good at cooking too!" Ciel paused, thinking about the name of the soup her mother always liked to cook. Was it potatoes and carrots? Or a simple pottage with meat in it? "If you like soups, that's the best thing I can cook. I even named my horse after 'em!" Suddenly, she felt her stomach grumble. Ah, some soup sounds really nice right about now.
Gold and purple was a good color scheme, but the birthday girl was a Gryffindor, wasn't she? Wouldn't a better color scheme be gold and red? Maybe Ciel shouldn't assume, maybe Linda liked the color purple.
"We could probably like split up, maybe lemon girl and red can bake their cakes, and me and Linda can set up! I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to find some birthday decorations 'round the castle."

"Two Cakes!" How delightful. "Isn't cake absolutely divine? Everyone should have two cakes for their birthday."

Meris turned around in a circle doing a slight dance in place. We could have it in the astronomy tower, if we sneak up? If you're worried about getting in trouble we could have it outside in one of the pavilions? There are lot's of wonderful places we could have a party. We could even have it in the Gryffindor Common Room.

Are there Lemon Tree's on the grounds? Wouldn't it be just divine if we had a lemon tree! Imagine all the things you can do with lemons. I once did an experiment where you soak pennies in lemon juice. I made lemonade too. Lemons are just one of the most delicious foods I've ever had.

She paused, her smile gone from her face; she frowned. A cloud seemed to pass over her countenance and she sighed, saying softly, to no one in particular, "I miss my family."

Then the moment passed, and her enthusiasm returned, "why don't we go out on the grounds? I have an idea. We just need a few things. What if we split up for the moment and meet outside and then find our way to a spot to bake the cake?"

Meris looked at each of them expectantly.

"I agree, two cakes on your birthday sounds really nice!" Ciel paused- if she asked her mother to bake her two cakes, if Isabella would agree. What flavors would Ciel decide on? She knew she liked red velvet, and maybe chocolate too, but what would she consider her favorite flavor?
Maybe it would be like the vanilla cake she had on her seventh birthday; her mother had decorated it like her favorite Disney princess- Rapunzel. Ciel still remembered the doll Isabella had gotten her custom made for her birthday. It was a present she still greatly holds close to her.
Or maybe it would be like the ice-cream cake she had had for a birthday cake last year, where her father and brothers had gone out to a local ice-cream parlor and gotten a cake. Ciel had spent a good ten minutes trying to deduce which cake she wanted more- the cookies 'n cream? or maybe the cotton candy flavor? Her brothers were more annoyed that she took forever.
"Okay, yeah! I should probably go return these books anyway," she looked at the charms book she had gotten. "I wasn't really gonna study anyway."
Ciel broke from the group and looked back to the aisle she had gotten the book from, searching the titles for the proper place to put it back. If the librarian or a snooty student caught her not putting the book back where it belonged, well, she'd rather not hear an earful.

Ciel leaves the thread.

Linda got distracted from looking at her stuffed rabbit who no one else seemed to be curious about, but that's fine, it's a gift for her and she surely liked it too much. Party, guess she didn't have something so special before, but surely she would need to change clothes as everyone else if they wish and it just doesn't make sense to be all together while someone is baking. Oh, I guess Azzy was thinking about something, I don't expect them to cook two cakes, but that's fine, I'll clarify it now.

"I thought you could bake one red velvet and this girl, sorry I still don't know your name, could cook lemon cake, so we have two different cakes from both of you. Color scheme is really nice, I like it, so let's have something in these colors."

Hmmm, where we could have party? I like what that girl said we could still go to Astronomy Tower, but it also would be great to be somewhere outside, but somewhere no one would bother us. Soups, sounds interesting, I guess we could have it, won't be eating only cakes, but what we would drink?

"Soups? That sounds interesting, I guess you could make it if you want, Ciel."

"We can't make it in Gryffindor Common Room as Ciel and Freya are not from Gryffindor, so it will be better to arrange in Astronomy Tower, but if we don't want troubles and not sure about it, we could find something outside where there's no one to bother us."

It's surely time to split up so I guess we could meet after one hour, I guess that's gonna be enough, already to bake and arrange party.

"So if you all want to change your clothes and leave in your dormitories your things and the one who are cooking to take things you need, we can now go to do it and after one hour or as much as you need meet in the grounds. Then, you can cook lemon cake as you offered, Azzy can cook red velvet a bit later or at the same time, as you want, Ciel can cook soup and help them if they need. Or Ciel can come with me to prepare what we will use for decorations. Freya, you've been silent quite long time, are you okey? If you want, you can join us with preparing decorations."

Time to leave my notebook back in my room, maybe I could check owls if I got any from my family, I will surely write them later, they will be happy I got new friends.
