"Well this is great birthday news." grumbled Desiree as she read aloud from Hermione's copy of the Daily Prophet.
"Muggle and wizard murders increasing by you-know-who supporters along the British coast in show of support for the once again rising dark lord. Accurate numbers are not available at this time but are estimated to be in the high hundreds." Sighing and leaning into Harry's side she said "Those people are sick for what they do to innocent people."
Getting several peculiar glances from random people up and down the Gryffindor table she said in a loud voice "I only punish those who have actually done wrong and deserve it." "Just ignore them Desiree, we know you're not like that." Ron said in a comforting voice. "Thanks Ron. Are you sure you and Harry don't want to go into Hogsmede with us?"
"We're sure." Harry replied shortly. "Right. You two aren't up to something and didn't tell me are you?" she asked in an accusing voice "No, unless you want to be in detention for McGonagall today I'd suggest you go into the village and have fun." said Ron with a hint of false longing in his voice.
Actually today Harry and the rest of the seventh year Gryffindor boys were staying behind to prepare for Desiree's surprise birthday party in one of the dungeons tonight and were waiting on her to leave with the girls.
After several more rounds of twenty questions from Desiree about what they had done to get their `detention' she finally left with Hermione, Ginny, and Lavender.
"Thought she'd never leave." said Seamus in his thick Irish accent. "I know. Let's get going we have a lot to do today and probably not much time." instructed Harry as he led the guys down the stairs to the dungeon.
After about an hour of attempting to decorate the drab dungeon into a slammin club like zone, similar to the one back in Miami which Desiree claimed was `her absolute favorite', the guys slumped to the floor in defeat.
"Harry, you must really love her to go through all this trouble." said Ron looking over at Harry who was lying on the floor looking at the ceiling where only fifteen minutes before he and Dean were trying to string lights on. "Yeah I love her all right and she is worth every bit of this but it would be loads better if we could figure out what were doing wrong."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~Hogsmede~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"This is a pretty color Hermione." said Lavender pulling a peachy color that changed to a coral color in different lights. "Yeah I like it. We'll have to get a picture of it to send to my mum. What do you think Desiree?"
When they reached the village the girls went into a dress robe shop to look for different styles and colors for bridesmaids robes to send back to Hermione's mum for her opinion.
Hermione wanted a mix of wizard and muggle styles and traditions in her wedding. She was getting a gorgeous muggle wedding dress but wanted robes for the bridesmaids and that was what the girls were doing.
"I think they're trying to pull a fast one on me." stated Desiree when she vaguely heard Hermione's question. "What?" asked Ginny with a confused look on her face. "The guys. They don't have detention for McGonagall and don't ask me why I just know." she said reading the expressions on her friends faces. "And Harry sucks at lying and Ron is even worse and that was all they were doing at breakfast."
Doing some really quick thinking Hermione said "Who really knows what those two get up to. They are always doing something to break rules and probably thought that today would be an ideal male bonding mischief day since we're looking for dress robes."
"Maybe, but I would of at least thought he would have told me." Desiree said glumly. "It's a guy thing Desiree and even if we asked, there would be no answers because they wouldn't know them." Lavender chimed in. "Yeah you're right. I just read in too deep into nothing."
Behind Desiree's back Lavender, Hermione, and Ginny all heaved great sighs of relief because they knew Harry would kill them if Desiree found out what he was doing for her and it wasn't ready.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Dungeon~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"It actually looks pretty good." said Dean taking in the sight before him. It took them the whole day but they did it. They made the complete imitation of `Hell's Inferno', Desiree's favorite nightclub.
The stone walls of the dungeon now resembled rocks and earth so it looked like they were in the pits of hell, the ceiling danced with different fire colored lights the boys charmed to work, a mini bar was in the corner where Dobby the house elf would be to serve drinks, a karaoke stage was set up for the fools who wanted to try and be stars, a charmed system set up with all the best music, and before the party would start the guys would ignite harmless flames to dance up the wall.
Taking in their hard work creation for a moment Harry said "Okay guys, time to get ready and set up part two."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~Gryffindor Tower~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Walking into the common room loaded down with shopping bags the girls trudged up to their dormitory to dump their purchases with Desiree in the lead. Opening the door to their room Desiree stepped back, dropped her bags, and gasped.
Every inch of the room was covered with white roses, her favorite. The roses were in crystal vases on the stands and trunks, the blooms were placed on her pillows, and petals were scattered all over the beds and floor.
Managing to squeeze their way in Hermione and Lavender looked at each other and silently laughed at Desiree's expression of total awe. Composing herself Hermione said "There's a note on your bed. Go see what it says."
Still not fully comprehending the situation Desiree mechanically made her way to her bed and picked up the note. Inside it read:
To my angel from heaven
Every rose in this room
represents each moment I
thought about you today.
To celebrate your birthday
come to the west dungeon
at 10:30pm.
Dress as sexy as you dare
Harry
Ginning to herself and allowing a slight giggle to pass her lips Desiree opened her trunk to get ready for tonight.

At 10:15 Desiree stood back from the full length mirror in the girls dorm to take in what she had done. Deciding to take a page out of Mariah Carey's book she dressed in a black leather micro mini skirt, a tiny black leather jacket that exposed her midriff, a red leather-like bikini top, a diamond chain necklace and red tie up stilleto heels.
Pushing her stick straight hair behind her ears she made her way out of the tower to go to her surprise. With her heels clicking on the stone floor Desiree glanced at the walls nervously.
The moving paintings were whispering behind their hands and moving to other pictures. Ignoring the constant private gossiping around her Desiree finally reached the west dungeon. Pulling the heavy wooden door open she stepped inside to be ambushed with cries of "Surprise!" from the select people of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw houses.
"Oh my God!" Was the only phrase she could utter out of her mouth.
Harry stepped up to her and said "Happy Birthday baby." and kissed her on the lips. "I knew you didn't have detention today. And you three were in on it!" she accused Lavender, Ginny, and Hermione. "This is awesome, thank you."
The first notes of `Happy' by Ashanti began to play across the room and Desiree pulled Harry out onto the middle of the dance floor. "I can't believe you did this." she said to him while they were grinding. "Believe it. I wanted today to be special for you."
After about an hour of dancing and socializing it was time for Desiree to open her presents which had accumulated to a small mountain. Finding the one from Harry she opened the box excitedly to find a small, thin gold band encrusted with diamonds all around it and a black stuffed winged unicorn with a gold tag engraved with `Sunshine' around it's neck.
"Harry this is way too much." she said to him when she saw the piece of jewelry. "No its not. It's a promise ring. A promise I'm making to you now that I will always love you no matter what." Synchronized `awes' broke out all around them.
"That's all my presents right?" she asked trying to change the subject. "Nope." said Harry who stood up to get something from the back. "Close your eyes." Following his orders Harry placed something furry in her arms and then told her to open her eyes.
What she saw was the golden lion tamerin she always wanted. "Its from your dad." Words failed to come out of her mouth as the monkey played with her hair out of new found affection.
"This is the best birthday I've ever had and I want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart." Standing up with her new monkey on her shoulder she began to pull Harry back out onto the floor until a bang was heard from the doors.
All heads turned to the front of the room to find Malfoy and his gang of croonie Slythereins who had been exclusivly excluded from the party. "Why tonight?" Harry sighed as he made his way to the front of the crowd.
"What do you want Malfoy?" Amusement played across Malfoy's features as he looked around the room. "Nice job Potty." he sneered. "Trying to buy your way into her pants now?"
Infuriated Desiree stepped forward to give him a piece of her mind but before she could Malfoy was blasted across the room by means of a great fire ball. Looking at herself to make sure it wasn't her Desiree looked at Harry to find him appearing like he was on fire.
Feeling his anger towards the now unconscious Malfoy, Desiree stepped up and calmly said "Stop it Harry." Instantly the flames that were licking at his flesh disappeared and he appeared much calmer.
"Desiree," He said "I think we need to go talk to Dumbledore now."
