Birthday Surprise

On the morning of his 16th birthday, Harry was awoken by the twins hitting him over the head with a pillow. Groaning, Harry sat up and wiped the sleep out of his eyes.

"Wake up Harry," chorused the twins. Harry grumbled something incoherent and pulled the covers back over his head.

"Come on Birthday boy," said Fred as George snatched the quilt from Harry. "Mum's made breakfast," said George whilst Fred picked Harry out some clothes and placed them on his bed.

Harry yawned before peeling off his pyjama top.

"Good lad," the twins chirruped together as they ruffled Harry's messy hair. With identical satisfied smiles, the twins left Harry to get dressed.

Whilst Harry was upstairs going about his morning routine, the other residents of Grimmauld Place were applying the final touches to Harry's birthday surprise.

The kitchen was colourfully decorated with streamers and balloons. There was also a large banner bearing the words "Happy Birthday Harry!"

On the table was a pile of wrapped presents and a selection of Harry's favourite foods, including treacle tart.

Feeling more awake, Harry descended the stairs and made his way to the kitchen. As he walked through the door he was greeted with an explosion of noise and multiple chants of "Happy Birthday!"

Grinning broadly, Harry allowed himself to be hugged fiercely by Hermione, Ginny and Mrs Weasley. The Weasley men clapped Harry on the back before he embraced his godfather.

"Thanks Sirius," Harry said gratefully. Sirius ruffled his hair before beckoning him to sit and eat breakfast. The fact that Hermione steered Draco into the seat next to Harry was purely coincidental.

As they ate, Harry's leg kept brushing against Draco's. Though each touch was brief, both boys felt a wave of pleasure weave its way into their bloodstream each time.

Once they had all finished eating, Harry opened his birthday cards, then proceeded to open his presents. From Sirius and Remus he got a pair of expensive seekers gloves and a photo of his parents in a red frame with a beautiful intricate silver pattern on it. After thanking both men graciously, he unwrapped his gift from Ron which turned out to be a box of half eaten chocolate frogs. From Hermione, he received a book all about aurors and their work. Narcissa presented him with a new set of dress robes that she knew would make Draco go crazy with lust when he wore them. Fred and George provided him with merchandise from their joke shop, Ginny gave him a box of sweets and Molly and Arthur gave him some new quills and parchment as well as a comb and some hair products.

Harry thanked everybody before gathering his stuff to take upstairs.

"Draco will help you," Narcissa said innocently, causing her son to glare and Harry to blush.

Draco picked up some of Harry's new things and followed him upstairs. Harry placed everything on his bed except the photo of his parents, which he placed carefully on his chest of drawers beside his bed.

"Happy Birthday Harry," Draco said, breaking the silence.

"Thanks" Harry said as he turned to face the blonde. They held each other's gaze for a while before Draco shuffled his feet awkwardly and shyly withdrew a neatly wrapped package from his pocket and offered it to Harry.

Harry smiled and carefully unwrapped the package. Inside was a black box which he gently lifted open to reveal a dragon medallion with blue eyes. Mesmerised, Harry looked up to thank the blonde only to find that he'd left.

Shrugging, Harry made his way downstairs with the medallion in his hand. The kitchen, he found, was empty. Confused, he made his way into the back garden. In the garden was an enormous bouncy castle in the shape of a dragon. At the moment, Fred, George and Sirius were on it, jumping about madly and attempting to do flips and cartwheels. Harry chuckled in amusement before scanning the garden for a sign of Draco.

"He's in the library," Hermione whispered in his ear, causing him to jump. He nodded to her before making his way inside.

Harry entered the room to find Draco sat on one of the chairs staring seemingly into space. Harry approached him and tapped him gently on the shoulder. Draco looked up at him through his eyelashes, his blonde hair falling lazily into his eyes.

Swallowing a lump that had spontaneously formed in his throat, Harry reached his hand out and brushed a few of Draco's blonde strands out of his eyes.

Closing his eyes and licking his lips, Draco unconsciously leaned in to Harry's touch. Harry found Draco's cheek to be pleasantly soft and unnaturally warm. Feeling a sudden surge of Gryffindor courage pulsate through his body, Harry straddled Draco's lap and held the dragon medallion before his now opened eyes. With slightly trembling fingers, Draco fastened the medallion around the golden boy's neck, breathing in his intoxicating smell.

Leaning back, Draco gazed into the desire-filled emerald eyes of Harry and bit the corner of his bottom lip nervously. Oh so very slowly, Harry began to move his face closer to Draco's. As his breath ghosted over his lips, Draco's eyes fluttered closed. Their lips were just about to connect when the door burst open. The boys jumped away from each other and turned to see an expression of open-mouthed horror on the face of Ronald Weasley.
