_.o-'*Happy Birthday Nabila *'-o._

In Hogwash School for Wizcraft and Blizzardly, Nabila, the 19 something fashionista of Gryffindor (Also known as the house for the brave, the kind and the absolutely stupendous) was busy. Extremely busy. But not watching a movie, or say doing some dorm work. She was busy watching the usually reserved Maan , also of her house, (And who had looked like he would kill DumbellDore when he announced him in Slytherin'but that's another story altogether) do Tai-chi. (Or whatever martial arts he was into)

Those abs. She would never forget those glorious more than a Greek God could ever give you washboard abs.

But just while she was watching him do the Tai and the Chi, her hamster Christian Kane, who was more into female hamsters than hot males in the Gryffindor house, got bored and decided it was time his mistress met her crush once and for all. He slipped out of her nimble fingers and went scurrying towards the blocks of ice Maan was in the process of destroying. (Or rather melting into a puddle of water-an effect he also had on girls, no matter which house they belonged to). Maan yelped in surprise as the sharp-toothed hamster came towards him and landed up slipping on one of those puddles. Nabila reached out to help him and their hands met.

Instant sparks flew. And they say water is not a good conductor of electricity.

Christian Kane, satisfied that his work was done, scurried off to the gardens of the school to meet his girlfriend Edwarda Cullen. But that's a story for another day.

Maan immediately steadied himself and helped an obviously weak-kneed Nabila steady herself too. He then furiously yelled, 'Maan Singh Khurana ko aaj tak kisi ne nahi sambhaala hai!' Nabila jumped-literally. His effect was more than that of a levitation charm.

'I'm sorry,' she stuttered. Of course, she didn't want to stutter, but she was tactful enough to know that boys were more inclined not to force you to commit hara-kiri if you stuttered. In fact they liked stuttering girls.

'It's okay,' he said grudgingly. He couldn't help but stare at her. She was pretty. In fact she reminded him a lot of his previous girlfriend, Geet, back in Punjab, in India. He liked her. And plus, she had done a lot of damage to his ego that day, more than the usual quota of most.

'Hey you wanna go on a date tomorrow-to the Naintara Inn for Witches and Wizards??' he said casually, looking here and there. She gaped, and then stopped herself. 'Yeah sure,' she said. 'Well I have to do my exercise now,' he said gruffly. He didn't ask me what I was doing watching him shirtless. Good job girl! She told herself.

But on the day they were supposed to go, suddenly Maan realized he had an exam on Runes. Damn you DumbellDore! He was only good at lifting weights. Nabila was crawled up on the dorm room sofa now watching DDLJ-the Sequel, in which Raj has to compete for Simran's affections with Ryan Gosling and John Abraham-but that's a story for another day.

It was when suddenly a nervous looking fresher came up with a box. It was full of chocolates. And a note too: Isn't it your birthday tomorrow? Meet me while I'm in the gym?

Nabila smiled to herself. Her 20^th was going to be the most special one ever'

Definitely not the end!
