Surprise Party in Room 1

Moon and Miniver have been working hard since Mia had taken Draco out on their date.

Decorations (in the colours Miniver had suggested instead of Moon's rainbow idea) are hung in the room. Crepe paper braids of orange, greyish blue, and green streak the ceiling. Moon's put up little paper decorations of cakes, balloons, and cartoonish animals dancing. Along with the cardboard balloons, there are huge groups of orange, grey-blue, and green helium balloons scattered all over.

On a table, with a colourful tablecloth depicting very happy cats and dogs partying, is the cake Skill had artfully created for Draco. It's wide sheet cake; the white icing is the basis for the artistically piped images of Martin and Dart flying over a huge forest full of winding paths. The forest ended where the words 'Happy Birthday, Draco!' were written in flowing script. It was the sort of cake a tarot card would make.

Moon giggles as she sets a stack of gifts (all from her family for the birthday boy) on the table beside the cake. She turns to Miniver and grins.

"I hope he's surprised," she says proudly.

It was definitely bright and cheerful and there's glitter everywhere, including on Miniver and Moon.

Well, be hard to guess his age really. Somewhere around 18-19 now, since it was shortly after his 17th birthday when he first arrived in Milliways. And that will be two years next fall.

He stared at the scene briefly, recognizing Martin and Dart easily. It was odd, not even the birthday cake looked anything like this. Usually it was more understated, or much more lavish that this.

Above them is a giggling little blonde who floats sort of down on his side and gently pushed him from where he's still standing toward the carousing others.

"Go on! Stop hogging the door. There are presents and people to see!"

Mia will have to tolerate Draco getting snatched away at least for a moment. Miniver wants his turn with the snogging.

"Happy birthday, Bosie," he whispers into Draco's ear before taking a small step back to make room for him and Mia to come in.

Moon's very energetic tonight, he muses.

"All of you? And his and Mia's? Poor lad won't know where to put it all!"

Pause.

"Well I'm sure he'll find a way."

Draco smiled at him and then asked, "Thank you. Were the colors your idea?" He stepped further into the room to make space for Mia to enter in completely, and more space for well wishers.

He is standing where he was crouched down in wait before Draco entered the room. He's standing now but hasn't moved from that spot though; he's just waiting for his chance to offer Draco his well-wishes.

What Rabastan has to give does not come in a box, or an envelope or even a gift bag.

No. What he's got is something far more important than anything material, and Merlin knows Draco's never lacked when it came to material things.

When Draco comes over he'll give what he has to give to the young man.

Yup. There's a first time for everything, though if it was a party thrown by someone with a personality to match Moon's they might bring an anti-grav unit to the festivities and how you'd bring the unit into the room would be almost as tricky as explaining why everyone's doing their dancing on the ceiling shut up Lionel.

"Of course. Though I can only wonder what you brought Draco."

Tell him it's not an anti-grav unit.

Mia and Draco are not very different. Or at least, judging from their upbringings, they were not encouraged to be very different. As a result, she's not skilled in much beyond magic herself.

That doesn't stop her from making a present for Draco, though.

"Thank you."

Draco's jaw dropped at the mention of colors. "Pink? RED AND GOLD?!? Urgh, glad you went with Miniver's idea." Gryffindor colors honestly! And with Master Salazar in the room no less. Be a near insult to fellow Slytherins. The blue would be borderline tolerable but not red and gold for Merlin's sake.

He then turned, and noticed his uncle. Hmmm... this was slightly awkward.

"Hello, Uncle."

So much relief it's not an anti-grav unit. Or, he'd be relieved if he knew what one was.

"Yes. That is an important gift," he nods.

Draco gave her an odd look at that, but then smiled. He then cut the cake, and placed the knife down. Better that he doesn't try to cut slices, because he doesn't know his way around a kitchen at all. Never had a reason to.

"Thank you, Tom. Again." Hey, Draco likes multiple presents. If people want to give him more, well he deserves it, right? Or at least, he won't complain. For once.

Draco did finally approach, a bit puzzled at him. Wasn't angry so... what was going on?

Tension. Suddenly there's a lot of it in the room.

"Red and gold's not that bad a colour scheme is it?" he asks. "It's bright and cheerful, wouldn't you say?"

The smile he's wearing is in fact very genuine.

"Hello Draco. I came to see you, to be here for your birthday."

Sod Misery. Right now he didn't care what words she'd have for him later. Draco is family, and family you are there for, no matter what.

Why should he be angry? Even with all the unpleasantries from last month there's no reason to.

"Happy birthday Draco."

"Uncle please? Most of us are Slytherins, it would be insulting." Draco remarked.

He added slightly nervous, "Oh, well glad you could make it."

"No," he grins with a flirty smile, his tone jesting. "At least, not as much as he would, not when he's already got that kind of attention—and from more than one at that!"

He laughs. It's just a spot of teasing.

"But the conscience thing. That he'll come to like once he's gotten used to it."
