Well hello there! Welcome to the beginning of Year 2! I have a lot planned for this year for Sade, Harry, Draco, and the rest of the gang. I hope you like chapter one :)

Chapter 1: Birthday Wishes

Sade stirred the cauldron in front of her, 7 times clockwise. She peeked at the open book next to her for the next set of directions. She was relieved to see she only had to wave her wand to complete the potion. She quickly filled a vial and cleared away all evidence that she was ever in her father's Potion Room. She was just closing the door when she heard the Floo. Sade hurriedly went into the kitchen and slipped the vial into her pocket.

"Sadeth?" Severus Snape called as he walked out of the green flames of the fireplace.

Sade rolled her eyes and called back, "In the kitchen!"

"Happy birthday," He said, giving her a kiss on the cheek. "What do you and Draco have planned for tonight?"

"Oh the usual, movies or something. We'll be at his house." Sade replied nonchalantly. "Where were you all morning?"

"I had to go get your present," Severus replied. "And no you can't open it until later."

"Unless it's Harry, I don't care what it is." Sade scoffed. She had begged her father all week to take her to get him so they could have their birthday together but he wouldn't budge. "Daddy, I haven't heard from him all summer, I'm worried. And I really wanted to have my birthday with him."

"And then what? Would he stay here with us? Or over at Draco's with you?" Severus questioned seriously. "I'm sure he'll be safe if You-Know-Who decided to stop by."

Severus took a deep breath. "Albus told you it's not safe for him to be here." He added. Severus watched his daughter's face saddened and shook his head. The one thing he couldn't give her was the only thing she wanted.

"I'm going to get ready." Sade mumbled.

She went to her room and looked for her birthday dress she had bought last week. It was a white on the top, pink on the bottom and very pretty. She had insisted that everyone dress formally because she had saw this dress and knew it was perfect for today. She slipped into the dress and put on the shoes she had gotten. She focused on her hair and changed it to her mother's reddish color and smiled in the mirror. Although she was sad she couldn't spend the day with her brother, she knew she had a backup plan and smiled even wider. She hid the potion that she had made earlier in the big bow on the front of her dress. After making sure it was secure, she made her way back to the kitchen.

"You look great," She commented, seeing her father had changed as well. He was wearing all black as usual but the suit he wore was much fancier.

"As do you," Severus replied warmly. They walked together to the dining room, which had been cleared of the clutter of potion books and empty vials and turned into a party room. Severus waved his wand and the decorations began to set themselves up. As the room was finishing up, the doorbell rang.

"Who would that be?" Severus asked.

Sade laughed out loud. "Draco of course. Do you think any Malfoy is going to risk getting Floo powder on their fanciest clothes?" Severus joined in her laughter and went to get the food from the kitchen.

"Sadeth you look wonderful," Lucius cooed as she opened the door. "Oh and you're wearing pink, what a coincidence! You and Draco match."

Sade glared at the smirk on Lucius' face, knowing he did that on purpose, and he had called her Sadeth. "Well, Uncle Lu, I don't believe in coincidence."

Draco chuckled as he hugged his best friend. "You do look beautiful." He whispered as he pulled away. Sade blushed, noticing that they did match very well.

"You look really handsome Dray." She replied quickly but by the ever growing smirk on Lucius' face, she had known he heard her. "Come on Draco, let's go upstairs before everyone gets here."

"Ah yes, that sounds like a good idea." Lucius insisted. "Do have some alone time."

Sade huffed and grabbed Draco's hand, leading him upstairs to her room. Her father had joined the other adults and could only shake his head at their interaction. Sade and Draco sat on her bed.

"So where is it?" Sade queried.

"What do you want first? My present or my father's present?" Draco snickered.

Sade punched his shoulder. "That prat, he's never going to stop is he?"

Draco shook his head and handed her two presents. Sade knew instantly that the smaller box held whatever piece of jewelry Lucius had picked out and ordered Draco to give her. Draco had picked it out last year, and it was the only thing she had liked. She wore the snake bracelet every day, including today. He had been doing it most of her life but she thought he would stop since she signed the Marriage Contract last year. Sade's heart dropped to her stomach. She had made a rash decision and he still hadn't told anyone. She shook the thoughts away and opened the small box.

"Draco, it's beautiful." Sade gasped. She stared in amazement at the ring. It had the biggest, shiniest diamond she had ever seen and a lovely design. She handed the box to Draco so he could put in on for her and asked how much it was.

"You don't want to know." Draco murmured as he slid the ring on.

"Oh yes I do, or I wouldn't have asked." Sade clarified. "Now tell me."

"32,000 galleons." Draco mumbled. He waited for Sade to yell about how ridiculous that was but the yelling never started.

"He's really out done himself this time." Sade seethed, clenching her fists.

"Alright before you yell at my father, you need to open my present." Draco demanded, hoping to calm her down before they rejoined the party.

"Oh alright." Sade grumbled. She reached for the other present and opened it. She instantly smiled and hugged Draco as hard as she could. She smiled widely at Draco and inspected her art set. It must have had hundreds of pencils, paints, and other art supplies. It was in an obviously enchanted box that had many drawers. Across the front it said "Sade" in intricate cursive writing.

"I expect a new mitto soon!" Draco said, happy that his best friend liked his present. "The old one is kind of worn down, the charm is wearing off too."

Sade laughed and hugged him. "Thank you Dray, it's very beautiful."

"Are you going to tell me what's wrong?" Draco asked as he caught the smile fall from Sade's face. "You've been different this summer, and don't deny it because I see it in your face every day."

Sade gave Draco a sad smile and leaned into him. "I'm just worried about the future. Mine, yours, Harry's, Daddy's, everyone's." She was especially worried about hers and Draco's future. Last year she has somehow let herself be tricked by Lucius into signing a Marriage Contract promising herself to Draco. They were to be engaged during the summer before their Sixth Year. Draco had no idea that she had signed the contract; in fact, no one knew other than her and Lucius. Sade only got angry thinking about it, so she shook the thought from her head and gave Draco a bright smile.

"Let's go back to your party." Draco suggested. He knew Sade was hiding something but he would wait until later on to make her tell. He took her by the hand and led her back into the dining room where more guests had arrived, including Blaise Zabini, one of Sade and Draco's best friends. He held a big green box and happily thrust it into Sade's arms.

"Thank you Blaise!" Sade huffed, the weight of the present pulling her down. She tried to drag it towards the table where the other guests had begun to stack her other gifts but couldn't. She looked to Draco for help but noticed that Blaise had pulled him away and was whispering quickly to him.

Sade quietly tried to sneak up behind the boys; she was a few feet away when they caught her.

"Always so nosey!" Blaise chided, smiling slyly. "I bet you're dying to know what we were talking about."

Sade stomped her foot, but grinned at her friend. "You act like Draco won't tell me right now if I ask him too." She turned to look at her best friend. He stood in silence for a minute and Sade raised her eyebrow.

"Oh alright." Draco whined. "Blaise is angry that you didn't invite him to our movie night, which by the way I thought you had cancelled?"

"Mate!" Blaise exclaimed. Sade giggled at her friends and responded, "Oh I did, but you can't tell anyone that. I am supposed to be at your house tonight…"

Now it was Draco's turn to raise an eyebrow. Sade opened her mouth to explain but cut it short when she felt someone standing behind her. She turned around to see her father holding another gift for her. She gave the boys a look that said "later" and gave Severus a hug.

"Can I open it now Daddy please?" Sade questioned hopefully. Severus gave her a smile and a quick nod and she tore into her present. Sade slowly opened the small box and stared in amazement. Inside was the most beautiful pair of earrings she had ever seen. They were small silver hoops encrusted with rubies. Sade smiled at her father but he must have seen the confusion in her eyes. Sade rarely wore jewelry, except certain pieces from Draco.

"They were your mother's." Severus explained softly. "I bought them for her when we were still friends in school for Valentine's Day."

Sade threw herself into her father's arms and hugged him tightly. She teared up a little and started to question her plan for tonight. She shook that thought from her heard and smiled at her father again. "Thank you, I love them."

Severus smiled back at his daughter. He waved his wand and champagne glasses, with just that for the adults and sparkling cider for the children, floated from the kitchen to everyone in the room. Severus raised his glass and made a toast.

"To Sadeth!" He called throughout the room.

"To Sadeth!" Everyone in the room chimed, laughing at Sade's red face.

Everyone downed their drinks and began clapping as the glasses returned to the kitchen. Sade smiled and clapped along, happy that no one noticed her slipping the vial from her bow and tipping the contents into her father's drink. Her birthday wish was going to come true after all.

Ohhh my, chapter 1 is finally done and uploaded :) I hope you guys enjoyed it, I'm already working on chapter 2! So what do you think Sade slipped in her father's drink? What's her plan for the night? Tune into the next Dragonball Z to find out! Hahahaha, I love you guys!
