Happy Birthday Part II

"Harry!"

Jack stumbled over to Harry and Ginny who were standing in the entryway, shocked. The entire manor appeared to be packed full of people, all of whom were having a great time from the looks of it.

Draping an arm around Ginny, Jack laughed, clutching a bottle in his other hand. "Everybody's here, and, I mean, everyone who knows your name and is, well, normal."

"Nice, Jack." Harry rolled his eyes.

Harry took Ginny's hand and they were surprised to see Ron and Hermione already there.

"You guys left like five minutes before us, I thought you had to get ready?" Harry asked, kissing Hermione's cheek.

"I'm a witch and Ron's a man, think about it." Hermione laughed.

"Well, this is great, Harry, I hear a band's coming on in a few minutes." Ron took a sip of his drink.

"Jack says his goal is to get everybody insanely drunk before midnight." Ginny laughed.

"He just might succeed." Hermione noted, looking at her boyfriend, who had downed his entire glass.

Harry pulled Ginny away, getting them both drinks. "This is insane." Harry shook his head.

"But it's fun." Ginny grinned.

"True."

"I'm going to go see Luna."

"Oka-"

"Harry's singing!"

Suddenly Jack and the rest of the band came through the ground, all of them clutching their drinks. Jack grabbed a protesting Harry and threw him over his shoulder, dragging him to the make-shift stage set up in the Great Room.

Once dumped on stage, the contents of the room began cheering, and the stereo was paused. Harry laughed, shrugging and swiped up his familiar red guitar.

He approached the microphone, still grinning. "What am I playing for you?"

"Cover song!"

"Sing a cover!"

"So, any song that's not my own, well I feel hurt." He laughed.

"Lollipop!"

"No way! I can't play a rap song." Harry shook his head.

"Do it!" The crowd chanted.

"I know how to play it." The band all seemed to agree amongst themselves they could do it, so Harry sighed and began playing his guitar.

"She said he so sweet…"

The crowd cheered, singing along to the song. Harry spotted Ginny back near the kitchen and stared at her.

"Call me so I can make it juicy for you…" He winked at her and she laughed, taking a long sip of her drink.

Once the song was over, Harry motioned Ginny to the stage. "Now, I want my beautiful fiancé to come and join me on stage."

Ginny shook her head, but several people dragged her to the stage. "I'll pick the song for you, and I already know you can sing." He flashed a smirk as she was pushed onto the stage. She stood opposite of Harry, the two sharing the microphone.

"How could I have said what's right…" He began to sing the beginning for her, going until the chorus began. "Not this time…"

Then he let her take over. "How did we get here? Well, I used to know you…"

Harry laughed as she began to enjoy herself, singing louder than before and releasing what was left of her shyness.

The song ended, and Harry kissed her, much to the audiences' amusement. Ginny walked off the stage and a new band appeared on the stage. Harry began to leave, but the lead singer and guitarist shook his head, motioning for Harry to stay and telling him what song they were doing first.

Harry began playing and soon the crowd was jumping to the beat and the singer began. "I'm coming down, bring me up. Take it off, let's just touch."

The song ended, and this time Harry refused to play anymore with the band, so they continued without him.

"I can't believe ou made me do that." Ginny glared at him, but smiled nonetheless.

He gave her a swift kiss, tasting the vodka she had drunk; that was stronger than normal for her. "I'm sorry."

"I'm going to find Luna now." She kissed him, this one longer and sweeter.

As she walked away, Harry looked to the island in the kitchen, where a woman with long, dirty blonde hair and bright, forest green eyes sat. Her short black dress clung to her body as she was stirring her drink casually. A piece of his past was back.

"Luna!"

Ginny hugged her friend who smiled serenely. "Hi, Ginny."

"Hey, Rolf." Ginny smiled at the tall blonde man. He had the same dreamy expression as Luna and steel blue eyes that were nearly gray.

"Are you having fun?" Luna asked.

"Yeah, did you see Harry?"

"Only on stage. He's really good."

"Yeah, he is." Ginny nodded.

"Well, we won't be sticking around for long. Lorcan is kicking again." Luna said, pressing a hand to her small bump.

"Already?"

"He's like his father." Luna pointed to Rolf who grinned.

"Well, we'll see you later. Rolf wants to do a quick check to make sure you don't have any Nargle infestations, they're getting really bad."

"Okay, Luna. Bye Rolf." Ginny fought back her laughter and turned to where she had left Harry and saw him extremely close to a certain blonde woman…

***

"…When?"

"Meet me at June's, that restaurant on Park street in London."

"I'll be there. So, on to you, what has Lauren Skylar been up to the last few years?" He grinned, leaning closer to her.

"Same old, same old. I saw you on the television the other day. I thought you were too big on that magic sport Quidit?"

"Quidditch, you stupid muggle." Harry laughed, inches from her face.

"Listen, I have to be going." She told him sweetly. "I'll see you tomorrow, Harry."

Just then, Ginny appeared at his side and his face lit up. "Love, this is Lauren Skylar, an old friend of mine. Lauren, this is my fiancé Ginny."

Lauren smiled,her beautiful dirty blonde hair that was nearly a light brown shining in the light. "Nice to meet you, Ginny. Glad to see someone's keeping an eye on this wild one. He can get a little crazy. Ever been with him to get a tattoo?"

Ginny laughed, but Harry knew it was fake, hollow. "Yes, he just got one actually. I had to talk him out of covering his body."

"I was with him when he got his first two. He nearly tattooed a dragon across his entire back."

"Well, thank you for talking him out of it."

"Oh, we all had to. Well, I'll see you guys later maybe." She flashed Harry a look before walking away.

"How'd you meet her?" Ginny asked.

"After I left, I hung around London for a month or so."

"Oh."

Suddenly, Kyle walked by, incredibly drunk; his eyes were wide with shock and confusion. "That guy disappeared and then he was there again, making a cracking noise, and then the elf thing…"

Harry and Ginny both started laughing forgetting all about Lauren Skylar.

***

The party was not winding down by two. Harry and Ginny escaped outside to the garden and Ginny couldn't help but feel concerned by Lauren's sudden appearance.

Together they walked to their spot, the spot where Harry proposed.

"So, do you want your present?"

"Hm, I'm not sure." He laughed, holding her close.

"Well, here." Ginny took a deep breath. "Technically it's not a present, really. It was already yours. She pulled out a small box from her jacket, handing it to him.

"What?" He took the red ribbon surrounding the box off and opened it. Inside was a flat, silver band. He took the ring out and stuck it on his middle finger, the only finger it fit properly on. A round, purple stone sat in the middle. Four smaller stones sat on both sides of the green stone. A yellow one sat beside a blue one, and then on the other side of the purple one was a red stone and another smaller green stone.

"Where did you find it?"

"Up in the attic. It was your dad's."

"Thanks for finding this, Ginny. I love you." He whispered, leaning over and kissing her.

"Remember that, I'll love you forever and always. I've never told anyone I love you, except for you, Ginny. Remember, you're the first and you'll be the last." He breathed.

She pulled his face back to hers and kissed him, pulling him down to lay on the bench, where they stayed for many hours…

A/N: Happy Birthday to Harry! So what do you think of Ms. Lauren Skylar, hmm? By the way, Harry was singing Lollipop by Lil Wayne if you didn't notice. I got the idea from the cover Framing Hanley did of the song. Ginny was singing Decode by Paramore.
