 Beth and Toddles! Fluttery Pegasi
Quinn frowned slightly at the package. "No, today you're the one that's supposed to be receiving a gift." Only when Beth pointed out it was from Imogen did Quinn accept the package and open it. It was a bit of a care package: Some cookies and brownies. A few chocolate frogs. Sugar Quills. And an old paperback book that it looked like Imogen got out of a used bookstore. Still it looked like her sort of book and she hadn't seen this one before.
Smiling Quinn slipped the package into her bag and made a note to mirror Imogen later to thank her. "Right, but I still need to get you something amazing when we go into Hogsmeade next." Because Beth already gave Quinn the best gift she ever could last year, and today and every anniversary in the future, it was Quinn's turn to give Beth something. No arguing.
There was a slight hesitation at first, then Quinn nodded. "I do. And you know I do too, right?" Because Quinn truly did love Beth, even if she wasn't able to say those words directly.
*POP*
Quinn turned to see Toddles stand there, and gave the elf a warm smile. There wasn't any luggage around, so she was pretty sure she was safe from a repeat of the opening feast. "Hi, Toddles." What was the elf up to? She watched with interest, until the confetti started to rain down on them. Quinn laughed, light and warm. A rare sight for anyone to see. "Toddles, you have the most serendipitous timing. Today is the absolute perfect day for a Great Hall party!" Quinn scooped up a handful of confetti and threw it back into the air.
Oh yes. It was a great day for an impromptu party.
