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.

She giggled happily, and it sounded quite like little bells. "Someone mentioned throwing glitter but we had used it on the tables, so I though it might be fun."

Draco nodded as he undid the wrapping paper on the gift.

"It was," he agreed.

The gift was wrapped very carefully, but she had no doubt it would never break no matter how fragile it felt.

The colors were as if a rainbow had exploded upon the paper and ribbons. Tied up in the ribbons is a small clear bottle of liquid in an ornate jewel bottle of the same liquid Star bade him drink the first night they met in his mind.

Once the paper is torn away the revelation is a black mirror of exquisite design, surrounded in a metal frame with tiny designs etched into it. There is a fox running through snow, and a small bird of prey flying through a stream of sun, and there is a gorgon wound in, as well, all seeming to belong and fir correctly.

Star is peering at him very carefully and excitedly, when she moves a little closer saying. "It's a mirror that will show you your truest dreams of what you want."

Draco studied the bottle and the mirror thoughtfully for a moment.

He smiled at Star, "Thank you very much." He looked at the mirror for a moment, debating on trying to see now. ...Maybe it's better to wait.

"I hope you'll enjoy it," she said with a grin, watching him. "It will change as you change, but no one else will ever be able to see the same thing you see in the mirror."

They would, in fact, see the true thing they were moving toward.

"It'll be your own compass. So you can use it when you need it."

No need to be crowded always, her smile says.

Draco nodded, "It's lovely."
