For some reason I can't stop starting chapters with you waking up, so here is yet again another waking up in the burrow moment. This is also a pretty sucky filler chapter so my apologies
-
The bed gives in beneath an unknown weight, causing you to slowly wake up to identify the perpetrator. Your eyes flutter open to reveal Ginny, who is kneeling at the end of your bed, holding a wrapped package.
"Good morning, Y/n, Happy birthday!" she says, slightly too loud for this early in the morning.
"Oh Merlin, thanks Ginny," you say groggily but trying to seem upbeat.
"I didn't have much time to think about your gift, but I did make you something. It's not much, however, it's the thought that counts, right?"
Shocked to be receiving gifts from the Weasleys, you sit up excitedly and grab the present from her hands.
"Should I open it now?" you ask her, unsure whether you should wait until you're with the others or not.
"I don't really mind, but if you get it out of the way now it won't seem as lame," she says humorously.
You laugh and begin to tear open the paper. Inside, you find a set of candle sticks each painted with a different design. One was white with different colored flowers, one light blue with clouds, and one pink with hearts. Along with the candles were some homemade caramels.
"Ginny! These are so cute, thank you so much!" you gasp, not having expected such perfect gifts from someone with so few resources.
Just then, Fred and George run into your room and pull you up upon laying their eyes on you.
"Happy birthday! Come on mum made breakfast, and I'm starving," George nearly chants.
They drag you downstairs immediately and into the kitchen where the rest of the Weasleys are waiting to greet you.
"Happy birthday Y/n," says Percy, happier than you've ever heard him.
"Yes! Happy birthday dear!" Molly exclaims as she grabs your cheeks.
"Alright, Mum, that's a bit excessive," George butts in.
Molly gives George a warning look and lets go of your face. You laugh and make your way over to the table. For your birthday breakfast, Molly made your favorite meal: blueberry waffles with sausages.
"This is delicious Molly, thank you so much," you say as you dive into your food.
"Of course Y/n, it is a Weasley family tradition to have a special birthday meal, after all."
Throughout breakfast, Fred and George consistently check the clock on the wall. You were a bit confused but didn't spend too much time dwelling on it. Once you finish eating, the rest of the Weasleys are forced into doing dishes, but Molly insists you are not allowed to help.
"No, no, no, dearie, you go upstairs and get dressed in something nice for your special day and we'll take care of this," she tells you while patting your back and sending you off upstairs.
You looked through your trunk and put on a skirt, a nice top, and some slippers, hoping to stay fairly comfy. You brush through your hair quickly and rushdownstairs again. When you walk into the living room the Weasleys are awkwardly sitting around staring at you.
"Hello guys?" you asked while looking around the room perplexed.
Following a few moments of prolonged silence, a pop expells from the fireplace and within the blink of an eye, your mother is in front of you.
"Mum! What are you doing here?" you yelp in shock as you approach her and give her a hug.
"You didn't think I would miss your birthday, right?" she reciprocates your hug, handing you a small box wrapped in classic brown paper with a silver bow and a larger package, wrapped similarly with a softer feel.
"It's not much, but I'm sure you'll like them, open it,"
You unwrap the first gift and find a small deep blue box with an engraved moon on the top. Inside you find a necklace with a ruby and a golden moon charm.
"It's beautiful thank you!" you exclaim gratefully.
"You might not appreciate it as much now, but you will learn to love it more as you get older," your mother says as she smiles at you.
You open the other gift to find a stuffed lion with ginger hair and a Gryffindor scarf.
"Aw, Mum this is so cute, thank you so much!" you say while hugging her again.
"Now this one you might like more as of now,"
The Wealseys, all sitting with cheerful looks on their faces, scatter around the room as you because gin to question this occurrence.
"Wait how did you plan all of this?" you ask, taking a seat on the floor near Ginny.
"It wasn't hard dear, we just sent her a letter asking to come for your birthday and now she's here," Molly tells you, not giving too much of an explanation.
The rest of your birthday was spent surrounded by people you've grown to love and with immense joy. You had, yet again, another delicious meal for dinner and a carrot cake for dessert. Unfortunately, your mum had to leave shortly after dessert to get enough sleep for work tomorrow. Although you were a bit sad, you still had a blast with Ginny, George, Fred, Ron, Harry, and even Percy who tends to keep a distance most times. The night consisted of playing several different muggle card games and sitting by the fire just chatting.
