*sirius sat, looking out his window at the lake. just sitting. his mind was going wild, just thinking over all that he had been through as a 15 year old. now though, in 1 minute he would turn 16. 30 seconds and he would forget 15. 10 seconds. he started whispering to himself.* 9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2...happy birthday to me. *he smiled and layed his head on the window sill. right as he did though, an owl started pecking at the window. he opened it with a light squek and let the owl in.* isn't late for you? *the owl sqwacked and sirius looked around. some people moved around a bit but no one seemed to have woken. he took the owls note, payed him, and let him out of the window once more. he opened the parchment quickly and read it.*
sirius, happy birthday. i don't have much to say. i can't really say much. hope your having a wonderful life and your 16 years on this earth are as good if not better then all of your others. take care. Your Friend, Dave L
