The next week went by quite uneventfully for Harry. Hermione on the other hand was something different.

She was planning a great big surprise party for his birthday, making sure people who knew nothing about the Order could come without knowing where Headquarters actually was.

Portkeys were to be set up by Dumbledore to arrive in the living room at 2:00 Friday afternoon. After she had all the invitations sent and instructions for the port keys, she flooed to Dumbledore's office at Hogwarts. She needed to get the scoop on how they would distract Harry so everyone could get into place without him seeing them.

"That's easy miss Granger. Take him shopping for stuff he needs. The way he has been reading, I hear, he'll need some more books by the end of the summer. He might want some Defense type stuff for class, give him the hint to buy everyone's books and things. I'll send Dobby with you two, also, to carry stuff home as you need it." he explained.

If she was perturbed at all by the mentioning of Dobby the house elf, she didn't show it. She thanked him and went on her way, hoping that Harry hadn't been looking for her while she was gone.

She found him right where she had left him…in their bedroom, reading a book on the Transmogrification curse.

He looked up and smiled as he put the book down.

"Hey gorgeous!" he said smiling from ear to ear.

"Don't do that!"

"Do what, sweetie?"

"Smile like that…you have no clue what it does to me."

"Maybe I should do it more often then." "Well, it may end up causing me to jump on top of you every time you do it."

"I think it might be worth it," he said standing up and wrapping his arms around her small waist. He captured her lips very slowly, building up passion.

Suddenly, Harry fell back on the bed from the force Hermione had applied to his stomach. He was lying there on his back looking up at her in confusion.

"I think I might give you a pre-birthday present." she said, climbing onto him and straddling his midsection.

She laid down on top of him and slowly took possession of his lips. She ran her hands across his chest and stomach. Her kisses became more insistent as he put his hands on her hips, inciting her to explore more than what she had. Her hands were now in his hair, that raven-colored unruly hair. She then pulled away from him and lay her head on his chest.

"Why'd you stop?"

"Because that was only a preview of what's to come tomorrow night." she said, "Oh and Dumbledore said we could go shopping in Diagon Alley tomorrow around lunch. I figured we could go to Florean Fortescque's for lunch and then move on and look at everything. We could even get everybody else's books for them if we wanted."

"Why would I want to go to Diagon Alley when I can have you all to myself all day tomorrow?"

"Because you need to get your books and Defense stuff for class and Dumbledore said he would let Dobby help us if we needed it."

"Okay, if you say so." he said, "Let's go downstairs and get something to eat. I am starving."

The rest of the night was calm and quiet. The Weasleys had gone out for the night for Dinner. Harry and Hermione curled up on the couch to have some alone time.

An hour later, Harry dozed off. He wasn't happy about what he saw. He decided to check it out.
