"I hate my birthday. Everyone makes such a big deal about it, I'm just getting older!" Serenity complained as what promised to be a lively party got underway. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "No, birthdays are special...and you get cake, ice cream, and best of all...Presents!" She dragged Serenity over to a large pile of presents sitting on a table. "You have to have my present first...as soon as I can find it," Devian said, and started crawling underneath the table. "Here present present present," she whispered. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ Serenity shook her head. "She's finally lost it." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ Suddenly Devian emerged holding something white and fluffy in the palm of her hand. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "It's a kitty!" Serenity gasped. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Yep, and a very lucky kitty at that. She was the runt of the litter, they would have let her die, so I had to take her...and I thought she would be a perfect present. And I also got you this," She said, holding up a pink collar with a little bell on it. "It might help you keep track of her better." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "She's beautiful! I think I'll name her Tinkerbell." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Great, now that that's out of the way, get the rest of these opened so we can eat the cake," Ron said, throwing a brightly wrapped package at her. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Chocolate Frogs! Yes!!!" Serenity cried in ecstacy. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ Devian groaned. "Ron, you have no idea just how cruel this is for me." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "What do you mean?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Serenity + Sugar = Destruction and no sleep for the entire girl's dormitory." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ He laughed at her, "oops...sorry. I didn't know." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ She put her hands on her hips. "And after all the help I gave you with..." she stopped quickly as she noticed the curious glances the others were giving them. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ Ron's eyes widened and he shook his head at her. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ Devian stumbled over her words a bit, "with...ummm that...uhh thing that you needed help with." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "What did he need help with?" Harry asked. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Homework!" They both said quickly. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ Hermione looked surprised, "But Ron, I always help you with that." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ Ron suddenly turned to Serenity "How about you open the rest of those presents now? We've still got games to play and food to eat." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ Serenity gave him a suspicious look before returning to her gifts. A short while later she was surrounded by a pile of unique presents that reflected the personalities of each of her friends. Hermione had given her a very helpful book about how to take care of Cats,Nella had made the birthday cake, but had also chipped in with Harry to buy her a sneakoscope, and Fred and George had saved the best...or atleast the most unusual for last. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Why does this look like the outline of a toilet seat?" She asked cautiously as she took the package from them. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Because it is, in fact, a toilet seat. But open it anyway, we made it special," George replied, grinning. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ She tore the wrapping away and laughed. It was covered in glitter and read "Friends Forever," at the top, with a picture of themselves, Devian, Nella, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Draco in the middle. Serenity laughed again as she watched the miniture versions of her friends in the picture. Devian was busy making funny faces at George, who was returning them, Fred was acting like a lovesick schoolboy trying to get Devian's attention, Nella and Hermione were waving up at her, Harry had Ron in a headlock, but quickly stood up after recieving a stern look from Hermione, and Draco was blowing Serenity a kiss. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "This is so sweet!" Serenity cried, flinging her arms around both Fred and George. "Thank you," she added, pulling back. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Don't mention it. So who's up for some games?" Fred asked, with a mischevious glint in his eye. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ As everyone made their way to the other side of the room, Draco pulled Serenity back. "I didn't want to give you your present in front of everyone else, it's kind of private, so I'll wait til tonight, okay?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ She nodded and grinned. "Why are you being so secretive about it? Let me guess...it involves nudity?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ He blushed, but quickly covered it up because Draco Malfoy doesn't blush. He put on a sly grin instead, "Maybe," he said casually. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ She giggled and dragged him over to where the others where standing. "What are you guys doing? And what is that?" Serenity asked, as she watched George fumble around blindfolded. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "We're playing pin the tail on the Snape. You can have a go next," Fred replied, looking proud of himself. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ Serenity stared at the poster on the wall. It was a donkey's body, with a picture of Snape's head pasted over it. She giggled. An hour later they had all stuck pins in various places on the poster of Snapedonkey and were now moving on to the next game. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Hope you like candy Serenity, cause we got a wizards pinata," Nella said. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Whats so special about a wizards pinata?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "You'll see. But who's gonna go first?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "This game is stupid, it's so easy, I always win," Draco interrupted. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Alright then," Serenity said coming up behind him and tieing a blindfold to his head, "You go first." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ With that she spun him around. A very bewildered Draco began to swing his stick, almost knocking off Harry's head in the process. Harry turned him to face the pinata. Everyone gasped as he nearly hit it, but at the last second, it jumped out of the way. Most everyone looked befuddled by this except for Fred and George, who were laughing incesedly. Draco continued to swing and miss until the loud thud of Fred hitting the floor made him stop. "Alright. I should have hit the pinata by now. What the hell did you do to it?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ Serenity decided to egg him on, "Come on, I thought you were the pinata master." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Fine! Watch and learn," and with that, he gave one final swing, which seemed to follow the jumping pinata, which made it burst, and candy began to fly everywhere. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ The flow didn't stop until they were wading in two feet of candy. Draco flung off the blindfold and strode over to Fred and George. "You two did something to that pinata, didn't you?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "No...of course not," they both said through stifled giggles. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ He raised his hand to hit them, but was stopped short with a blow to his shoulder. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Ow! Why the hell did you do that?" He cried, turning to face Serenity. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Because, you peeked. Cheeter!" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "But they cheated first, they bewitched it!" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Oy! Lets just go eat cake now." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Yes, right, on to the cake!" Ron agreed, fork already in hand. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ They turned out the lights and began to sing the birthday song. Fred and George carried out the last note, for two straight minutes before Devian and Nella simultaneously slapped them. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Right, umm...can I make my wish now?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Yes...go...on," Fred panted, still out of breath. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ She stared at the cake, was three layers, with words that flashed different colors. Finally, she closed her eyes and blew out the candles. I wish...for things to always be like this. A solitary tear ran down her cheek. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Good, great, now cut the cake," Ron said, rushing her. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ As soon as he got his piece, he ate it in practically one bite. "Well, that was great. Happy birthday again Serenity. I'm sorry I'm leaving so early, I have to go to the uhh...library," he gave her a hug before turning to wink at Devian. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ She smiled knowingly and pulled him in for a hug "have fun," she whispered in his ear. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ Nobody but Serenity noticed this. After Ron left, she dragged Devian into a corner. "Alright, what was that about?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ Devian looked puzzled, "What was what about?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Ummm...that wink, and 'have fun'" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ She shrugged. "He err...enjoys the library. And who doesn't? I mean, those books are fascinating. Why just the other day I was reading this one about this guy in a place which I can't remember the name, but thats really not important to the story. So anyway, the guy had a nasty werewolf problem in his back yard, and so this other guy comes along and is all like 'no, don't beat him with a stick'..." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Devian," Serenity started. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "...and the first guy is like 'why not?'" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Devian," Serenity said a little more impatiently. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "...and the second guy says, 'because, they eat the garden gnomes', and-" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "DEVIAN!" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ Devian gave a resigned sigh. "Fine, I'll tell you, but you have to promise, no one else finds out." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Yes, yes, I promise, now out with it!" Serenity exclaimed excitedly. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ She leaned in to whisper, "He has a girlfriend." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Really? Who? Do I know her?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Shhh,keep it down, will you? Now I don't know if you know her or not, but she's this Hufflepuff named Audra. Same year as us, she's in Divination with you and me." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Yeah, I think I've seen her, but I've never talked to her. So how did they hook up?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ Devian smiled proudly, "I kinda helped. See, this one time, we had to pair up to read tea leaves, and you were out sick, so she asked me to work with her. We got to talking, and I found out she has a thing for redheads. Then I started thinking. Who's the only single redhead around here that I know? Ron of course! So I introduced them to each other, and the rest is history." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Hey, what are you guys talking about?" Fred asked, sneaking up behind Devian and putting his arms around her. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "BADGERS!" She screamed, startling herself as well as Fred, who fell to the floor with a thud. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Ow! I was just asking, no need to get hysterical!" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Sorry," she apologized, helping him up. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ He grinned, "So, what about badgers?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ Devian gave Serenity a conspiritorial look, "Ummm...well...we were just saying that uhh...well I was wondering..." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Yes? You were wondering what?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "I was I was...do you possibly know what sound they make?" She finished lamely. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ He blinked, "...what kind of sound they make? Why would you want to know that?" A look of realization came to his face, "What are you trying to cover up?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Nothing," Devian said too innocently as she looked up at the ceiling. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Look me in the eye and tell me that." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ She looked him straight in the eye, "I'm not covering anything up," a small smirk betrayed the lie she was concealing. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ He shook his head, "I'll find out one way or another." ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________ "How much further?" Serenity asked impatiently as Draco lead her blindfolded into the unknown. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "We're almost there." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "I still don't understand why you had to blindfold me." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "You'll see...okay we're here. I'm going to take it off now." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ As he untied the blindfold and let it drop to the floor, she gasped. Hundreds of fairy lights fluttered above their heads, accompanied by flowers which were in vases all over the room, a blanket and pillows on the floor, and a bottle of wine. "It's so beautiful!" She cried, flinging her arms around him. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Calm down, I haven't even given you your present yet," he smiled, gently pushing her back a bit so he could look her in the eye. He handed her a small box wrapped in silver paper. She opened it and lifted out what appeared to be a charm bracelet. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "It's the magical kind, not the muggle kind," he explained, "the heart is for love, the butterfly for friendship, the phoenix for health, and the music note for harmony. All you do is tap them with your wand to activate them...so do you like it?" He asked, a little nervously. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "It's beautiful! Where'd you get it?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Devian and Hermione helped me pick it out last time we went to Hogsmeade." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "I love it," she exclaimed, wrapping her arms around him. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ They pulled back to share a passionate kiss, then he gently laid her down on the blanket. _______________________________________________________________________ Draco and Serenity woke up to the sound of someone screaming. After hurriedly getting dressed, they ran out into the hall and gasped. The scene that lay before them certainly stunned everyone. Aside from Draco and Serenity,a Hufflepuff girl was watching from the sidelines, and Fred appeared at the top of the steps. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ "Ron, what the hell is going on here?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ Ron, who looked a little dazed, suddenly snapped to attention, "Oh my, this doesn't look good at all." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ He was referring to the fact that he was sprawled out on the floor, his hair disheveled, and buttons on his shirt done up crookedly. Devian was sitting between his legs, holding her stomach and crying._____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________END!!! to certain people who are reading this *hides behind big rock* don't kill me!!! bob and i hope to make next chapter our last. *sniffle sniffle* so sad...oh well, there is still a future *smiles knowingly at a top secret thought*
