lady_moon | 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.

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.

She grins brightly.

"I brought him a conscience."

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.

Just may not be in the form Draco will appreciate, but it's one Moon knows he needs.

She wraps her arms around his waist and gives Rabastan an excited kiss.

"Do you think he'll like this?"

"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."

"I somehow doubt he's expecting this," she remarks, giving him a playful pinch in the side.

"Oh!" he says with mock-surprise. If they kept this up...

Draco might be a grown man but ... modesty. Yes. Or try to be?

"I should hope he's not expecting that!"

"I have no intention of pinching him!" she laughs. "I meant the party!"

"Ah good. You had me worried there."

Wink.

"No he won't be, and he won't be expecting me either."

He smiles. That he'll deal with when Draco arrives.

"Draco's not going to be expecting a lot of what will happen from here on out," she says cryptically. "But at least he won't be alone."

"No he won't," he says equally cryptically. "He'll have us all here."

Today and tomorrow and the days after that.

She gives him an enigmatic smile.

"He's never really been alone. We're just more vocal now."

"Yes. And more prominent than before."

A smile in return.

"Very much so."

Moon just giggles and remains close to Rabastan, waiting for Mia's signal to hide.
