SPOILER!!: She is! And that's why Mom shipped her to Hogwarts

"Um..." Hadley bit her lip as she turned to look at Penny. It was doing nothing to hide her half-amused, half-excited grin on her face. She glanced at the window, but it was still dark out with only the barest hint of twilight. "Nope," she said, giving Penny the Haddie shrug. "Sorry. Not a clue." But it was morning and it was her birthday, and she was a teenager, and she was excited about it, and she wasn't sorry about being so. Because she was thirteen!

And then the Head Girl was smiling and pulled out a present and card. It took Hads a second to catch up. "Wait, really? Thank you!" That she hadn't expected more than a warm and friendly Happy Birthday, and that would have been plenty, made the surprise gift all that more meaningful. Hadley opened the card first, because her Mom had raised her right, read it quietly with a smile. But it was when she opened the gift that Haddie's eyes went wide and her mouth sure whether to gape in surprise or smile; it sorta tried to do both at the same time. "Thank you!" she squealed, just a bit too loudly.

Hadley pulled the items out one by one, starting with the bracelets. She slipped them on and, grinning, turned to Penny. "How do they look?" They didn't quite fit with the white pajama bottoms speckled with blue whales all over, nor with the plain cotton t-shirt, light blue with a white potted plant, angled like it was falling, and a little thought bubble above it with the words Not again.

Next came the socks, which got a quizzical but no less thrilled, look. "Purple toucan socks? Huh." She didn't get it, but at the same time they sort of fit her personality. Which she also didn't get, but the socks were no less great. "A new journal! Awesome. I'm almost out of room with my old one." Immediately Hadley took out Kira, her wand, and circled the tip above the book three times, flicking it twice, pausing a second before giving a third flick. "Clausaltus Obfirmo!" The first spell Penny taught her, just under a year ago, for her previous journal. "There. All prepped and ready for..." She never finished the thought, because she looked to see what the last item was and her mouth started doing that not sure whether to gape or smile thing again. It was a book and yet much more personal than that. It was a book of tips and tricks by Penny, to help Hadley cast a Patronus. "Wow. I...don't know what to say. Thank you."

Haddie practically jumped to her feet and wrapped Penny in a hug.

However, on this particular morning she had been woken up by loud crashes and yelling from what she assumed was Haddie's dorm. Remembering that it was Haddie's birthday, Penelope got up, grabbed her present for Haddie, and went down to the common room. The new teenager in question was here. Not yet fully awake, Penelope stifled a yawn. "Do you have any idea what time it is Haddie?" She hadn't checked the time, but she was fairly sure that it was too early to be awake. Haddie got an 'it's too early in the morning' look, but it wasn't long before Penelope was smiling. "Haddie! Happy birthday!" Penelope handed Haddie a box wrapped in purple gift wrap and a birthday card. There were a few items in the box for Haddie. After this, Penelope would be going back to her dorm to get ready for her morning classes. She wasn't even dressed yet, but there wasn't really anyone around except Haddie so it was alright. Breakfast would be nice. Haddie was a teenager already. It seemed like the second year eagle had been a confused eleven year old new to the magical world only the day before. Had it really been a whole year? "Um..." Hadley bit her lip as she turned to look at Penny. It was doing nothing to hide her half-amused, half-excited grin on her face.
