A/N: At the Livejournal Community harryron100 we are challenged to write drabbles each week based on a single word prompt. I thought it would be tedious to post individual drabbles here but I still thought that others here might like to read them. Instead of posting each drabble individually, I'll post each prompt word as it's own chapter and all the drabbles I write for that prompt word will fall within that chapter. The drabbles will have different ratings so I've just rated the whole thing as "M" for Mature to be on the safe side (you never know when Harry and Ron are going to get naughty, or full of angst). Please enjoy, and if you do, please review.

Birthday (prompt: Surprise)
"Surprise, Harry! Got ya something for your birthday."
"Thanks! What is it?"
"Well, I couldn't gift wrap it, but I think it's something you've always wanted. Close your eyes."
"Ron, what're you — "
"Just close your eyes. It's a surprise, Harry."
Harry closed his eyes and waited, but nothing was ever placed in his hands.
He waited some more.
He was just ready to open his eyes and peek when he felt Ron's soft lips close over his own for several warm, wonderful seconds.
The kiss ended and Ron blushed.
Harry smiled. "Yeah, that is what I've always wanted."

Breaking the News (prompt: Surprise)
Ron was shocked.
No, not just shocked — stunned. Utterly stunned.
It took a minute before the power of speech came back to him. He squirmed nervously in his chair; all eyes were on him.
"No, that can't be right," he finally replied.
"Why not?"
Ron flushed. "I'm…" he hedged; he didn't want to say the words out loud but there seemed to be no choice. "I'm not important."
"You're important to him. You're what he would miss the most," Dumbledore replied, smiling gently, his eyes twinkling.
With his next heartbeat, Ron knew he would miss Harry the most too.
