You know, Jamie, I'm glad your birthday is at the beginning of the month and not nearer to Christmas.

Anyway, happy birthday to you. I can't actually remember if the others planned anything or not, so there's that surprise at least.

Oh, your present is sitting on the kitchen counter. It's not hard to miss since it's the object with a red bow.

DUDE! You guys are awesome, you know that? Really awesome. It was a great party... makes me glad my birthday isn't on Halloween, cause I just know if you threw me a surprise party then you'd probably be decked out in the scariest costumes you could find and see which of you could make me scream like a girl first.

Actually, you'd probably try and do that even if it wasn't Halloween - if you'd thought of it anyway.

22. That's kind of scary... except not as scary as my baby sister being almost 14. Seriously that's nuts.

That was a pretty awesome birthday party though. Thanks guys!

Going to the library for book on summoning poltergeists I suggest. Oh no it won't be that bad he says. It won't be like Pince at Hogwarts he says. No, it'll be worse says I. ...it was not fun at all. Still she didn't ask me to sign my life away or anything like that, so that's something.
Anyway I still managed to get the book, Jamie.

Then it was back to work and... well... er.. um... dealing with the librarian in the Diagon Alley Public Library doesn't seem nearly so bad now. I can't believe she thought Jamie and I... it's not like that...</i>

Jamie... buddy... pal... By any chance, you haven't been talking to a lady that comes in for valerian sprigs have you?

That was awkward. Strange. Weird. Bizarre. Kind of creepy too, in a way.
