Today is February 5th, which means, it's Mateo Yamamoto's 13th birthday. The birthday boy was still sleeping, but hearing an owl chirping woke him up. Mateo slowly rose from his bed and looked at the time. It was 10 am, so Mateo got out of bed and got dressed and he finally saw the owl.
Mateo sat down at his desk ans answered the letter he has received from a first year attending Hogwarts by the name of Avery Gray. Once he was done, he rolled up his letter and tied it to the owls legs before he allowed the owl to fly out of his dorm.
Mateo had gotten another owl, who was carrying a gift and a letter from his childhood friend Tracey. He took the letter and gift and quickly wrote a reply back to her before he allowed the owl to go on it's merry way.
Mateo was about to open up his gift, but then he felt himself being dragged out of his room and towards a hall in the school that was decorated just for him.
Hearing all his friends saying surprise and happy birthday brought a smile to his face. Mateo thought that his friends had forgotten all about him, but then he realized they were getting this party ready for him.
note: I'm putting this as a solo/open, cause I'm not sure if anyone wants to join and celebrate Mateo's birthday with him & his friends
It was February 5th and Tone was quite excited about this morning because it was a special day for him. Why? It was Mateo's birthday! Tone loved celebrating birthdays except for his own, since he had never gotten a birthday party or gifts before. Not from his parents at least and they were the only ones who mattered to him when it came to birthdays. September 15th was an ordinary day to Tone.
It was and would never be anything special because his parents didn't care about him and pretended he didn't even exist to them. The exception was when it came to his schooling, if parents were required to do or sign something, they would do it but otherwise neglected him. Tone knew about their true feelings towards him but pretended he didn't care and accepted any bit of attention they gave to him.
Tone was up and about at the brink of dawn. Of course, practicing on his Silver Arrow, which he had nicknamed Gin. The fifteen year old's entire life revolved around quidditch and being a beater for their team. But Tone knew his strength wasn't nearly as up to par as Sara's and needed to get better to stand a chance at contributing to the team. Thus why he was out every single morning without fail.
The best way to get better was to practice until you got it down.
Finishing up his practice, Tone took a shower and went to his room to pick up a small domed platter with his gift for Mateo. He'd made them yesterday evening.
Inside the dome, on the small platter, were a bunch of brownie truffles he had made. Everyone tended to like his brownies, so Tone had made them mini sized and in the form of truffles this time. They were soft and delicious on the inside and had a thin hard chocolate shell with white chocolate drizzle on the outside. The brownies were to die for, yet it was the first time he'd done brownie truffles.
Reducio
A smile on his face, Tone headed out of his dorm with the delicacies.
In search of Mateo. He found him inside his room and Tone being Tone burst into the room without announcing his presence beforehand. "Mateo!!!" The blue haired fifteen year old called out with a smile. "Happy Birthday! You're coming with me!" Tone said and reached out to grab Mateo's arm as he pulled him away from his desk and out through the door, without waiting much for him.
He'd been one of the first to greet Mateo when he'd first come to Mahoutokoro but then Tone had always been the 'welcome mat' for all newcomers.
The unpredictable hair color changing beater always liked being there for others, especially those who seemed out of place or lonely when they first came. It was only when they reached their ultimate destination, the place where Mateo's friends had thrown him a surprise party and decorated the entire room for him, that Tone released his hand and smiled at him. "Surprised?" Tone asked him.
"We thought you were due a surprise party this year. Hope you like it!" Tone said and waved him over to one of the few tables there. "Here's my gift, unveil it whenever you want to." He told him with a smile and set the small domed platter down on the table in front of Mateo. Hopefully, this party would be a complete success for the birthday boy and he'd enjoy himself today!

Out of everyone who would or could drag him from his dorm to who-knows-where, Mateo never thought he'd be dragged by Tone, and in fact, he didn't have much time to speak anyways. All the came out of Mateo's mouth was, "Ah! Sempai, where are you taking me?"
Mateo literally thought he was being kidnapped, who knows why he thought that, but he just did. Obviously, Tone's actions didn't reveal that Mateo was going to be kidnapped, but the 13 year old just randomly thought that.
Soon, Mateo had gotten his answer. Tone had finally stopped dragging him when they arrived in a room that's been decorated. But Mateo couldn't get a good look. Currently, he's trying to catch his breath.
Once the thirteen year old boy had caught his breath, he looked around and a huge smile appeared on his face. His friends and Tone had set up a party for him! He wasn't sure how to thank them all, so he said, "Wow, thanks guys! This is the best birthday ever!"
Mateo then looked at the table where Tone had lead him over to, which had his present on it. Mateo took off the domed top and gasped. Tone had made him truffle brownies! Oh how happy Mateo was! Mateo loves brownies, especially Tone's, but never in the world did he ever think he'll get truffle brownies!
"Thanks sempai! I can't wait to try these!" Mateo says brightly beaming.
There had been a reason why Tone had dragged him off without much notice. He didn't want him to have time to think about why he might be doing this. Since it was Matteo's birthday if he had approached this in a logical manner, he might guess what was going on. If he just came over, knocked on the door and dragged him off, he might not be able to think straight due to being confused about it all.
Also, by the time he could think, they would already be there. Luckily, his plan worked, judging from the huge smile that appeared on Mateo's face. He nodded when Mateo expressed his happiness at the gift of brownie truffles. It didn't surprise him as he'd known Mateo liked his brownies. "They should be great, I tried them already during the stage of making them." Tone told Mateo.
"What do you think?" He asked his friend, nodding over to the decorations and the refreshments and food laid out for him by everyone.
"We came up with some games to play too." Tone told Mateo. This was his birthday today and all of them here wanted to make sure it was a great one. "We also all decided to give you a fun present from all of us for as long as you celebrate with us today. Whatever you want to do, no matter what it is, all you have to do is just say it and we'll do it." Tone said with a grin.
