Hum... This year's birthday was rather... Low-key, I guess, compared to last year's. I guess I shouldn't be that surprised.

[morphingteddy]

Oh hey, Happy (possibly late?) Birthday. Was it good, at least?

[spell_truth]

Not that late, thanks. And yeah, it was.

[morphingteddy]

What'd you do for it?

[spell_truth]

Not much. Mostly just spending time with my family.

[morphingteddy]

Sounds nice and simple. Though it seems like you're not entirely happy with the lack of excitement.

[spell_truth]

I wouldn't say I'm not happy as much as it only just hit me that there's less going on. Last year it was me coming of age, not too long afterwards, I got a letter saying I had been selected to be a prefect, and before that, there was my apparition test...

[morphingteddy]

Maybe it's up to you to make something happen, then... Do something exciting, you know what I mean? Excitement won't just hit you, you have to go look for it.

[spell_truth]

Hell no, I'm using the last month of summer to enjoy some piece and quiet before I go back to the castle. Student or TA, that place is still crazy enough to give a lifetime's worth of excitement.

[morphingteddy]

But you just made it sound like you want something to happen, and now you're saying you want peace and quiet? Someone needs to make up their mind...

[spell_truth]

Maybe I do.

Seriously though, I'm actually fine with calm birthday. I was just a little surprised at how calm it was.

[morphingteddy]

Well look on the bright side, calm means nobody was hurt, right?

[spell_truth]

True, but I tend to hold that as a standard for birthdays.

[morphingteddy]

Not everyone's as luck as you, some people get hurt on their birthdays.

[spell_truth]

Speaking from experience?

[morphingteddy]

Yeah, it was a few years ago... I don't really want to go into details, actually.

So, what'd you get?

[spell_truth]

Ah... Sorry.

Mostly books.
