Characters: Liam, Ella, Daphne, Millicent, Miles, others (add your tags please!)
Location: Millicent's Place
Private/Public: Pretty Public
Rating: PG for the kids ;)
Warnings: Screaming and sugar-high children
Summary: Liam and Ella celebrate their birthday together.
Daphne took a deep breath, held it for a moment, and let it out. She was finally finished putting up the last of the decorations and setting the charms to keep them in their proper place.
She'd set up several tables in the kitchen: one for gifts as the guests arrived, one filled with sweets and treats of all kinds, and one on which a giant pirate ship birthday cake sat. It was perhaps the only grand thing she'd ever baked, although it would be hard pressed for her to admit that she'd bothered to get her hands dirty to produce it (even if it had been mostly the house elves helping with her direction).
Outside, there was plenty of room for those who brought child brooms to fly around. She'd set up a game of pin-the-tail-on-the-hippogryff, and had also arranged for a dragon's egg hunt later in the evening. With her very unhappy 'dinner invitation', she would not be around to see it, but Millicent and Justin would be able to set it up just fine without her.
The house was filled with pirate decorations of all sorts, including fake gold coins, enchanted plastic pirate swords, floating skeletons, large pirate hats, and other such nonsense. However, she was sure that the kids would be in awe and love it, despite its obvious tacky charms.
Checking the time, Daphne nodded happily. The guests would be arriving soon, and then she could lose her stress to friendly conversation, even if many of the people here were not exactly her crowd.
