AN: This is the first in my 50 Shades of Slytherin collection for Bex's 50 Shades of... challenge. It has nothing to do with the 50 Shades series, just 50 unrelated one-shots of the goings on in Slytherin House. Enjoy :)

Birthday Party

"Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday dear Scorpius,

Happy Birthday to you!"

Scorpius blushed as the rest of his house sang happy birthday to him. He'd grown used to it being friends with the Potters and Weasleys, but he had never expected Albus and Lysander to be able to get the whole of Slytherin House to sing it to him. Although he shouldn't have been surprised, Albus was the brother of one part of the best pranking team in the school and Lysander was a part of that team.

"Happy Birthday!" he heard someone say to his left and turned to see Albus stood in front of him, his arms outstretched and holding a poorly wrapped gift.

"Mate, you really need to work on your wrapping skills," Scorpius laughed as he took the gift from him.

The rest of the house had gone back to their normal activities, having never really been interested in Scorpius' birthday, so Scorpius made his way over to the sofa in front of the fire and sat down, Albus taking the seat next to him. Just as he was about to open his gift from Albus, Connor and Caspar, the other boys from his year, made their way over to him with Lysander and took the remaining seats around the fire.

"So, got anything planned for tonight then, Scor?" Caspar asked him, a sly smile on his face making it known that they did have plans for him.

"Uh, no but I…" Scorpius started before being cut off by Connor.

"Excellent! That means we can go ahead with our plans boys!"

Scorpius looked around and noticed that Caspar, Connor, Albus and even Lysander all had sly smiles on their faces. He groaned what had he got himself into now?

Scorpius was worried for the rest of the day, he wasn't sure what his friends had planned but everyone seemed to know about it. He even had a Hufflepuff girl tell him 'see you later' as they left Arithmacy, it was all very confusing. In Defence Against the Dark Arts he'd sat next to Rose and tried to make her tell him what was going on, a little bit of hope because his best friend was a little bit of a pushover when it came to him and Albus, but she refused to tell him what was going on. He'd even cornered his younger sister and tried to blackmail her into telling him. By dinner he was fed up, he just wanted to know what was going on but no one would tell him.

It was around 8pm and Scorpius was sat in his dorm room trying to get a bit of peace and quiet to get started on his Potions essay when Albus, Caspar and Connor barrelled into the room.

"Get changed!" Caspar told him as he saw that Scorpius still had his school robes on, "We're leaving in 10 minutes."

Scorpius sighed, so much for getting started on his homework. He walked over to his trunk and was about to take out some clothes before he realised he had no idea what he was supposed to be wearing.

"Wizard or Muggle attire?" Scoripus asked, hoping that he'd get some sort of clue to let hom know what they were doing from their answer.

"Muggle obviously!" Caspar snapped, "Have you eyes stopped working?"

Scorpius was confused for a minute until he looked at the other boys in his room and noticed they were all wearing muggle clothes, casual muggle clothes at that. He smirked, finally getting some sort of idea of what they'd be doing tonight.

"Will you just tell me where we're going?" Scorpius asked for the sixth time as they made their way through the castle. They'd just made their way up to Gryffindor Tower to collect Rose and a couple of girls from her dorm before going to Ravenclaw tower to collect Lily and her best friend Alexis and finally turning back on themselves and heading down the castle again.

"You'll find out soon enough, Scorp," Rose reassured him, but as they turned into the Entrance Hall and started toward the front doors he got an idea of where they were headed.

"Are we going to the Shrieking Shack?" he asked, both amazed and relieved as he finally put two and two together and worked out they were throwing him a surprise party.

Rose sighed next to him; apparently she was the only one who heard him as the others were carrying on with their conversations.

"Yes, we are," she stage whispered to him, "Just don't let them know that you know that they're throwing you a surprise party. They put a lot of effort into organising this and keeping it a secret you know!"

"Okay, okay!" he reassured her as he saw the glare she was giving him. Scorpius figured he'd have to do his best acting, not that it would be hard. Coming from the Malfoy family he'd become quite accustomed to putting on whatever front he thought people would want to see of him.

Scorpius kept quiet from then until they reached the Whomping Willow which was thrashing around much more than usual.

"Uh, guys. Are you sure it's safe to come through here?" Scorpius asked, not scared per se but just a little shocked since he'd never seen the tree so active.

"Of course it is, Scor!" Caspar laughed back at him, "Immobulus!"

At this the tree stopped moving and Albus and Connor led the way to the hole below it, guiding those through it that didn't know where it was.

"Scorp, come on!" Albus yelled to him when everyone else had gone through, "The tree won't stay frozen for much longer."

Scorpius scampered after him, getting into the hole just as the tree shook itself back to movement. Grinning he turned to face his best friends.

"So who wants to tell me why we're going to the Shrieking Shack then?" he laughed, before walking ahead of them to the stairs. He didn't notice Albus and Connor share a look that said 'he knows' followed by Connor confronting Rose about who let it slip.

Walking into the room had been amazing. It seemed like the Potter-Weasleys had got half the school there. He was almost deafened by the "SURPRISE!" that greeted him when he entered, the grin and look of shock on his face real.

The party had really taken off, somehow they're managed to get enough butterbeer and firewhiskey that after three hours they still didn't look to be running out any time soon. And Scorpius was starting to feel rather drunk, which he liked. But somehow, he'd been convinced by Rose and Connor that a game of spin the bottle was a good idea. At least they'd thought to have the rule of no kissing anyone related to you so he wouldn't have to kiss Caspar or Ara and the Weasley-Potter clan that all seemed to be here wouldn't have to do anything too awkward.

"Caspar, it's your spin!" someone shouted across the circle. Caspar spun the bottle, an excited look on his face as he waited to see who it landed on. Of course, it landed on Scorpius. Their rule was if it landed on someone related to you then you forfeited your go and it was their turn to spin next.

"Sorry, mate," Scorpius told him before spinning the bottle himself. It seemed to go on forever, Scorpius hoping the entire time that it didn't land on Rose. He'd thought he liked her in their previous year, they had thought they liked each other, however they had shared one awkward kiss and realised that they were both mistaken. They'd been best friends ever since, joking about it frequently but both hoping that it would never have to happen again.

Luckily the bottle didn't land on Rose, he almost sighed as he realised it wasn't her but stopped when he realised who it was pointing at – Albus. He gulped; this wasn't something he'd even thought about before playing. Now Scorpius had to kiss his best friend, his male best friend.

He got up and walked shakily to the middle, the place where all pairs were to kiss, and saw Albus doing the same. Scorpius took a deep breath to try and calm himself, not that it worked. He wasn't sure why he was so nervous, it was only a kiss; he'd kissed other people before and he'd kissed Lysander earlier on so it wasn't even because he was male.

As Albus got to the middle they looked at each other, but that was too weird so they looked away. It was all very awkward for a minute before Scorpius felt Albus' lips pressing into his.

He gasped and felt Albus use this chance to slip his tongue into Scorpius' mouth. Before he knew it, Scorpius was kissing him back twice as hard. This all felt so right. He'd never have thought kissing his best friend would bring him this much joy.

They came apart a couple of minutes later, Scorpius blushing and trying to catch his breath. One look at Albus told him that he'd felt the same, although it was a little more embarrassing for him since nearly the whole of his family was in the room.

Everyone in the circle erupted into cheers as Scorpius and Albus returned to where they were sat. He thought he heard someone shout "It's my turn!" as he sat, but he was too busy thinking about the kiss he'd just shared with Albus. He would have to remember to thank Rose for making him play.

Words: 1,612.

AN: Alright, to clear anything up to those of you who haven't read any of my other Next Gen stuff to get bits of my headcanon. Caspar is Caspar Zabini, son of Blaise and Daphne and therefore cousin of Scorpius. In my headcanon he's a Ravenclaw but it worked better having his as a Slytherin for this, plus this whole fic pretty much goes against my headcanon. Scorpius has a younger sister, Ara Malfoy, who is a year younger than him. Lysander is Slytherin while Lorcan is Ravenclaw, they're both good friends with James and Fred and are pretty much a reincarnation of The Marauders.

To fit with my headcanon of ages this would take place in their fourth year, so Scorpius' 15th birthday. This would make Lysander in his seventh year, Ara in her third and Lily in her second.

Finally, my headcanon is ScoRose and I'm really not a fan of AlScor so can you let me know what you think of it pretty please. I'll love you forever.
