41 Early Morning Ambiguity (1/2)

The next morning, everyone already heard about the three year one students who have become part of the quidditch teams for their houses.

Unsurprisingly, this started a controversy about who the youngest of them was. Each of them debating on which house had the player who was the youngest to be part of the quidditch team in over a century.

Some people said it was Draco, while some said it was Harry. Perhaps because of how mature Casimir seemed to act compared to the two, most people seemed to have ruled him out. Well, except for Theodore who knew the truth.

So, when someone investigated the ages and date of birth of the three, everyone was surprised.

Draco was the oldest amongst them, being born on the fifth of June. The next was Harry, born on the thirty first of July. The youngest, Casimir, was actually born on the thirteenth of September which was literally the next day! He wasn't even eleven yet when he was accepted to the quidditch team!

That meant that he had just broken the record for the youngest house quidditch player in the last two hundred years!

On that day, Casimir suddenly realized that more and more people wanted to befriend him out of nowhere, making it inconvenient for him to go anywhere, therefore, he just skipped breakfast to hide somewhere.

By the time he came back to the hall, everyone was already more or less done with eating and the owls had started swooping in to deliver mails. This day, Casimir's father's falcon had come as well, bringing with it a rather long package and a letter. Similarly, both Draco and Harry received long packages of their own as well, making it obvious what was inside.

Unsurprisingly, inside the packages were broomsticks. It turned out that Mr. Proulx's intelligence network spread even to the inside of Hogwarts. So much for being the safest place in the world.

Being the proud father Mr. Proulx was, he immediately informed Lucius of the news and, the two, being outwardly cold but inwardly supportive dads, directly bought the newest broomsticks off the stocks. They weren't even available for the public until early the following year!

Draco and Casimir looked at each other with similar grins, holding onto their brand new Nimbus 2001.

Theodore just rolled his eyes at the two, feeling left out but was happy for his friends.

At the Gryffindor table, Harry was similarly holding his new broom. The only difference was, his was a Nimbus 2000.

...

The rest of the day passed without much happening and soon, it was already Saturday.

Casimir's birthday. (Again)

At around nine in the morning, Casimir was still fast asleep, enjoying the freedom that weekends bring.

Unfortunately for him, Draco and Theodore had plans to ruin his freedom.

Right now, the two people in question were crouched on both sides of Casimir's bed, prepared to wake him up in the most surprising way possible. A tickle war.

One of the mysteries that Casimir brought to the two boys were... He wasn't ticklish anywhere.

But, today, they vowed that they would find Casimir's ticklish spot for sure!

Draco and Theodore nodded at each other, signalling the start of their plan.
