One fine but cold morning but the feeling the atmosphere gave was like the arrival of spring.
People walk about the streets in less wintery clothes kids playing in the park some are cycling around it.
A house that is quite a distance away from the regular hustle and bustle of the people.
Inside the house, there were five people. They were Richard, Mary, Alex, and the two house elves candy and sugar.
They were sitting beside each other and talking and laughing while eating breakfast and the elves serving them.
When they were still eating their breakfast the fireplace suddenly lit up with greenness and a man walked out from the fireplace.
The house elf sugar then turned and walked toward the fireplace and reached out to take the things which the man gave to her.
The man wore a black long coat with a bowler hat on his head beneath the coat he wore a vest jacket white shirt and a black tie, black pants, and back shoes.
" Uncle Tim good morning," said Alex with a big smile on his face while sitting on his chair. " Good morning Alex, Richard, and Mary," said Tim as he put down his briefcase. " Good Morning to you as well Tim." said both Richard and Mary.
" Come and have some breakfast with us." Mary said and Tim nodded and then sat down as they ate and talked. After eating Mary and Alex went to the study room. And Richard and Tim talked about some matters related to the trip.
The afternoon approached and study time was over Mary and Alex came back to the living room and sat down on the couch.
" So uncle Tim did you bring something back from the trip for me," asked Alex with eager eyes as the first time they met Tim gave Alex an encyclopedia of magical creatures.
"Well I sure bought something for you but it will have to wait until after your birthday," said Tim while drinking his tea. ( in olden times brits sure drank a lot of tea.)
"Then I will wait for it." I tried to sound like I have no problem with the wait but they noticed the excitement in my voice as they laughed.
In the evening father came to pick me up and I left with him after saying my goodbyes to grandpa and grandma.
(Skippuuuuu time the birthday)
It was still a cold morning as I walked towards the bathroom and after finishing my business I went downstairs.
I went inside the kitchen and my father and mother in unison said, " happy birthday to you Alex." I thanked them and sat on the chair.
After eating and discussing the arrangements for the birthday party and decorations and checking and talking to the guests and telling them the party time we went to do our work.
It was evening and the guests started arriving. I greeted them with my father. Father talked to the kid's parents and after telling them the pickup time the parents walked out of the house with smiles on their faces (guess why they had smiles on there face.)
After receiving the last of the kids inside the house I took all of them with me to the room upstairs which was opposite my room.
Mother walked behind us and after entering the room she addressed all the kids, " Thank you all of you for coming to Alex's birthday party. The cake-cutting time is 7:30 and till then I have arranged for all of you a special show if you feel hungry there are snacks in the room so have fun."
I then opened the room and then walked inside and took a seat all the kids also sat down there was a little stage in front of us.
Then with a puff sound smoke came and after the smoke dispersed a man was standing on the stage in magicians clothes slightly bowing to us and we clapped for him.
" Ladies and gentlemen my name is Mambo the great magician. I was asked to perform for you tonight so let the show begin." said Mumbo.
I noticed that when he said ladies and gentlemen all of us straightened a little in our seats. I chuckled in my mind at this a little and then continued to watch the magic show.
After the cake-cutting ceremony, we played some more and after 9 pm the parents came and took their kids with them and thanked father and mother for inviting them to the party.
I know they were happy to have the free time they got and spend with each other and some did quite enthusiastically well I can tell. Don't ask how.
After the celebrations, we cleared and cleaned up the kitchen and living room and left the other room as it is for the night.
" Happy birthday Alex once again." mother said. She hugged me and I also hugged her back and then we went to our rooms as we were quite tired. After changing I just slept like a log.
(time skip)
"Are you ready laddy to see your birthday present." said Tim as he watched Alex who was surely very excited about it." Yes, uncle Tim, I am." I said as I was tired of waiting for the present.
"I still think it's too early to let him have it as he's still so young to properly control it. " grandma said with slight worry but grandpa lightly patted her back and said, " I think he will like it very much. And don't worry as I will be watching him very closely."
While grandma and grandpa talked to each other uncle Tim was crouched on the ground and opened his suitcase and then pulled out his wand and said, " acio Alex present." then he handed me the present which was quite big actually.
After unwrapping what was in front of me was a full-size broom and on its handle written 'Nimbus 1900' I was excited and there was no shred of doubt about it.
I yelled, " YES! " with both of my hands above my head. And seeing me this excited all three of them laughed as I showed the most child-like smile and excitement in recent times.
After that, I flew my broom for some time but had quite some hiccups and got helped by grandpa and uncle Tim. But the wide smile on my face never left my face.
