]Sirius put Sarah back on the sofa. She was still giggling. But it had drained her energy. She lay back on the sofa, and with a smile, her eyes closed slowly. Lupin looked concerned. 'She'll need time to restore her energy, the Dementors have almost sucked it out of her. The best thing for her will be safe surroundings, people who love her and good food, not like the scrapes they give you in Azkaban.' said Sirius, pulling out a large blanket that Sarah's Mum, Samantha, had spent so long making and stitched Sarah's initials on, so it said *S.S.S.B. Born April 13 1996 in gold thread on a deep blue and black background, and putting it over Sarah. 'I can't even imagine how bad it must of been.' said Lupin, looking over at her. 'I don't have to.' said Sirius quietly. Sirius sat next to her. 'How could they do this to a girl, of just 13.' he whispered, looking at her. 'She's 14 soon.' reminded Lupin. 'Oh god yes!' said Sirius. A smile spread across his face. 'Let's go plan her birthday then.' he said, getting up and walking into the kitchen.

Sarah woke up. It was a special day, but she couldn't remember why. Sighing she got out of bed, only to step into a pile of presents. 'Hang on, what's this say?' she said, picking up a tag. 'To Sarah, Happy Birthday, Love Dad.' she read. She looked at her blanket. There it was, April 13th was her Birthday. 'It's my Birthday.' she whispered. She had been told at the Orphanage that only people with family's get birthdays. 'But I do have a family.' she whispered. She heard footsteps. Quickly she put the present back in the pile and shut her eyes as she got back into bed. The door opened. 'Shhh! Don't wake her yet!' she heard Lupin whisper. 'If she wasn't awake then, you probably woke her just now.' she heard Sirius whisper. Footsteps walked over the floorboards. A heavy weight sat at the end of her bed. 'Wakey Wakey Birthday Girl.' said Lupin, giving her a gentle shake. Sarah pretended to play sleep and laid still. 'I know what will wake her.' said Sirius and he started to tickle her. 'Ahhh! Please stop! Please!' Sarah laughed. 'No! No!' she said as Lupin joined in. Eventually they stopped. Sarah sat up, still giggling. 'Happy Birthday.' said Sirius. 'Happy Birthday.' said Lupin. Sarah grinned as they picked up the presents and tipped them on top of her. Sarah sat there surrounded by presents, and Sirius and Lupin either side of her. 'Well. Open them. There are a few muggle presents in there we thought you would like.' said Lupin. Sarah picked the first one up. It was from Hermione. Opening it was a Silver Scratch foil picture of a fairy and an elf. The next one was from Harry. He had brought her some skull candy headphones. Sirius and Lupin had brought her a big 200 piece puzzle ball of the world, some fancy Triplus felt tips, some earrings, some rub-on glitter tattoos, and some skin jewels, plus a load of chocolate stuff, Ron a pair of broomstick tail clippers, George had sent over some loads of Weasley Wizard Wheezes stuff, Hagrid some toffee, Bill a black dragon-skin jacket and Ginny some clips and things for her hair. That left one small box. 'Sarah, from Fred, DO NOT OPEN WITH PARENTS IN SIGHT!' read the tag. Grinning , Sarah proceed to shoo Sirius and Remus from the room. Opening the box, she gasped. It was a beautiful Gold ring with Diamonds and Sapphires. With it a note.
Sarah looked at the ring. 'Of course.' she whispered.
