*Lily isn't sure how Harry knows it, but she's convinced that somehow, some way, he's very well aware that his birthday is tomorrow. He's been a ball of energy all day, particularly vocal as they pass by a toy shop.

Harry squirms in Lily's arms, pressing his little hands against the glass.*

*Harry gives her grin, innocuous enough, but his tiny teeth have performed far less innocent acts of late.*
