Everything ready? Ashley looked around at the area she had been setting up since earlier that morning. A few tables were scattered around the perimeter of the area, placed with cups, drinks and food provided from the kitchens. The house elf’s had been so helpful today, she needed to see them later and thank them for supplying the food and drinks. A smile flashed across her face at the thought, but at the moment she had more important things to do.
Lanterns were floating overhead, ready to be lit as soon as it got dark. That would be in a long while since it was not even mid-day yet. Streamers were flowing from tree to tree, giving the place a lively look. So now I’m guessing that your wondering why this Hufflepuff is going through so much trouble, correct? Well it just so happens that she was throwing a birthday party. A surprise birthday party, in fact. This party was for her bestest friend at Hogwarts. The Bush Baby, Bryce Litterll.
Ashley was going to be away for his real birthday so had decided to get all his friends together early. How thoughtful. With a smile still one her face, she made her way over to where she had set up a rather large stereo. She had even taken the liberty to bring down a base speaker and a few larger speakers so Ryan and his band could play if they wished to. If not then they would still serve there purpose to play all of Bryce’s favorite music. Her hand skimmed over the assortment of Cd’s the fifth year had provided.
Yay! She was finally done! Phew, that had taken a lot of work. She sighed with relief as she looked over the place once more. It looked as perfect as it was going to get. The sun was hanging overhead by now and she decided that it was probably time to get ready. She had sent out many, many owls inviting all of his friends and they would all be arriving later that afternoon. With a nod Ashley headed up to the dorms where she would get ready and send Bryce his invitation.
Once she arrived in the Hufflepuff common room, she bound upstairs and over to her trunk to select an outfit. What should she wear? There were too many things to pick from. Usually she would not care what she was wearing, but today was a special occasion. With a defeated sigh, she finally withdrew a denim skirt from within the depths of her trunk. Her shirt was a different matter; it took her a few minutes to find something suitable for the occasion. She finally pulled out a black shirt that looked decent enough. She pulled her outfit on and looked into the mirror. Not too shabby. With a jolt of excitement she realized that she would be late if she stalled any longer. She outlined her eyes with eyeliner and placed mascara on her eye lashes. Who knew she even owned makeup? She finished off her look by placing lip gloss on and glanced at her appearance once more in the mirror. Lovely.
Soon she had a piece of paper in hand and a quill in the other. She sat down on her four poster bed and began to write to the birthday boy.
Snowy, her beloved owl, flew thought the open window just as Ash finished up. She folded the letter and gave it to her white owl along with a treat. “Here you go. It’s for Bryce,” She told the owl, her voice soft as she let the owl hop onto her arm and carried her to the window. The owl took off with a rustle of her wings and was soon soaring over the grounds. Ashley glanced at the clock on her bedside table to see that Bryce would probably get there before her if she did not scurry along.
With a bounce in each step, she made her way down the marble stair case and out into the grounds once more. The sun had sunken lower in the sky by now and it would only be an hour or two till they would need to lights that she had provided. She could not wait till everyone got there. She strolled over to one of the tables that had the drinks situated on top and got herself a glass of pumpkin juice. With her cool drink in hand; she sat down awaiting everyone’s arrival.

Dear Bryce,
I have a surprise for you down at the lake. Don’t be late.
You’re Phoo Bear
