Fay's been busy over the months since the girls' third year came to a silent close - mostly trying to get her girls' spirits up, especially as her attempts to discover Bellatrix's fate fail to pan out. Trips to interesting places, games, books, movies... Anything to distract them - especially Anathema. 

On July Thirteenth Anathema's birthday rolls around, though, and Fay sets it up with a bit more flair than usual, humming cheerfully. Anathema has a good stack of presents - from classmates, from Ellie, from Sirius, from Fay's father... A cake shaped like a white tiger, with fourteen sparkling candles along its spine... 

And a thin envelope from Fay, carefully placed at the bottom of the stack, with 'open last' written on it.
