Not Your Typical Malfoy

Chapter 3- Happy Birthday

"Yes, there to left please."

"Be careful, its fragile"

"Yes, there, thank you"

Samantha Malfoy was going mad. How can she organise a surprise birthday party within six hours? She had to invite people at the last minute but half of Alex's friends couldn't make it. Only Jason and Kristy gave her definite answers, seeing how they were her best friends. They offered their help with the organizations and actually helped plan a way how to surprise Alex. They promised that they will try and persuade those who said they couldn't make it and the list of people who were coming actually grew to five parchments.

Then there was the problem with the food. Thanks to Narcissa they persuaded the caterer that usually catered for their parties, to help them with the food. Kristy's mum, who was a beautician, agreed to set up a 'beauty salon' as a birthday present for Alex. Draco, with a little blackmail, agreed to keep Alex away from the Manor for a while.

Now at two o'clock everything was set. The new clothes she bought for Alex to wear, Kristy's mum at her place and the beach that the Malfoy's owned was ready for the celebrations. Now all that was left was Alex to arrive home.

Samantha left a note on Alex's bedroom door, took the things she prepared to wear for the party and flood over to the Malfoy's summer residence.

Just as she flood away, Samantha and Draco arrived home. There was perfect silence in the house.

"Where is everyone?"

"Do I look like I know?!?"

"Funny, you usually know everything," Alex retorted back.

Draco laughed dryly. Then he spotted a note on the table. He noticed his mother's handwriting. He opened the letter and the first thing he saw was: READ THIS ALONE.

"I'm going to my room, ok?"

"If I said it wasn't you'd still go, so there was no need to ask my permission."

"Ok, ok chill."

"I'll chill, when I stick your wand up your ass. How about that?!"

Alex challenged him with her eyes but Draco knew better than getting his cousin angry and just went to his room to read his letter.

Get your things and floo to the summer residence from your room. It is important you floo from your room. I will explain when you arrive here. Mother

He got suspicious reading the letter. It wasn't of his mum to write such an informal letter, but he didn't question her decisions. He knew it had something to do with Alex's birthday party, and maybe he might get a good one. Muggle girls were so easy to lure into a bed… well actually anywhere.

He prepared some clothes to take with him, deodorants, and hair products, picked up some floo powder from his desk and as he was shouting his destination he thought he heard some girl squeal. He smirked. He knew his little cousin had a little girl hidden behind her tomboyish exterior. He shouted his destination: "Malfoy Summer Residence"

And left his cousin to her own defences.

"Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God!"

That was all that Alex Malfoy could think the moment she opened the envelope taped to her bedroom door. And she thought her mum forgot her birthday. She was so stupid. This time her mum went past all limits.

"Happy Birthday darling!"

She heard someone talking from behind her. As she turned around she saw Kristy's mum, Mandy.

"Oh… my… God!"

She was surprised as she saw what was supposed to be her room. Instead of her queen sized bed, there was a massage table (is that what it's called??) and on her furniture where loads of beauty products and massage creams.

"What the hell happened here? Oh… my…"

"Well, your mum wanted to give you a birthday surprise. And her I am!"

"Oh my goodness," Alex chuckled. "This is just so… oh my Goodness!" It seemed as if it was all that Alex could say at that moment. No coherent thoughts could enter her mind at that precise moment.

"And it won't end here, you know?"

"There's actually more? Shit… my mum really, really… oh my god, I'm speechless!"

Mandy laughed, "Lets get started then… if we want to get somewhere one day."

An hour and a half later, Alex Malfoy went out of her room totally changed. Some hairdresser came out of nowhere and gave her a new hairstyle. She now had a fringe that fell on her forehead and her hair was styled in a side ponytail.

In the bathroom, she found a new white bikini with blue stripes and a strapless white dress. She wore her favourite white flip-flops, even tough there were a brand new pair of flip-flops. She wore a pair of white, dangling, star earrings and a matching necklace.

She put on some clear lip gloss and some kohl eyeliner. In the bathroom, she also found a bag with a beach towel and some essential stuff you usually take to the beach. As she removed her I-Pod batteries and inserted them in her I-pod the grandfather clock which stood in the dining room, chime 8 o'clock. Then there was a knock on the door. She was surprised. Who could it be at this time of the night? She knew the house elves were ordered to get the night off, for whatever reason so she had to go down 3 flights of stairs to open the door. She was against house elves being used as slaves, but she did recognise that since she had house elves doing everything for her, she enjoyed the comforts they offered.

She opened the door and there she found a big surprise.

"Oh my god, you guys!"

Standing at the door were her two best friends.

"There you are girl. Its been like… what 2, 3 weeks! God girl, you need to see each other more."

"Jesus, Kristy."

Alex let a squeal of happiness. She couldn't believe it. Kristy, her red-headed, loud and tactless friend was standing in front of her.

"Hey… don't forget me," said Jason.

"Oooo…Jason!"

Jason was their gay friend. When they were around 6, Kristy and Alex saved him from some bully who was trying to take his money. From that day on they grew to be the best of friends. They all fought over some guy and made up after 10 minutes, gossiped about their crushes and shared beauty secrets with each other. Every one called them The Famous Three. It started as a joke and it sort of grew with them.

"Come on girl; are we ready to rock and roll?"

Alex took her place between them, slung her arms on their shoulder and looked at them: "You know guys, you're the best friends a girl could ever have. You're two in a million."

"How about a billion?" asked Jason

Alex chuckled took her bag and the three of them walked out of the Manor, hand in hand, to Jason's car.

'This is going to be the best birthday ever!'

That was all Alex could think walking out to the car laughing at the jokes Jason was cracking.

You know the drill... Review please

Lots of Love,
