perfect birthday gift (open)

[james potter]

Finally fifteen years old. After this year ended, he would only have two more years left before he graduated and moved on to what he truly wanted to do in life. He’d already opened up his birthday gift. James had been so happy when he saw what his father had gotten him; a new telescope. It looked better than the last one he used, though he was pretty sure it wasn’t all that different. Still, he loved it. It was the best thing he’d ever gotten for his birthday. His sister had sent him some sweets, which was always great, while Aunt Hermione and Uncle Ron had sent him a book. Normally, James wouldn’t be too happy about that, but it was about the moon phases, so it wasn’t all that bad.

Although he’d planned to set up a new prank and watch it go off on those unsuspecting Slytherins, he ran up to the Astronomy tower instead to set up the telescope. It was still too bright to be able to look through it, James was just going to set it up, then come back in the evening to try it out. The tower was empty when he’d gotten up there. He’d just started putting the telescope together when he heard footsteps approaching. James chose to ignore it, not caring who it was. All he was interested in was putting this telescope together.
