Summary: Ron's nervous but Draco's confident everything will be fine.
Ron shushed Draco as he peered into the house. He turned around to glare at him but found that Draco was looking at him as if he was an idiot. "What?" Ron whispered.
"Ron, we've already cast all the necessary charms. No one's going to hear us, or see us. So you can stop acting as if a boggart might jump out at you any minute now," Draco said, reassuringly.
Ron sighed, "I'm just nervous I reckon."
"Look, we've planned everything and everyone's arrived on time. I've gone over all of it, and considering how meticulous I am it'll go smoothly. So stop worrying, because it annoys the-" Draco held up a finger as he glanced at the bracelet Harry gave him. They had identical ones that were basically like the galleons they used for Dumbledore's Army. "Hermione's on her way. Don't look so panicked, Ron, really. Harry's on his way now. Everyone, Hermione's almost here so places, places."
"All right," Ron muttered, "Everything will go smoothly. Draco's taken care of the tricky bits. Merlin, when did I start trusting Malfoy. Harry! Thank Merlin, you're back."
"Has he been like this the whole time?" Harry asked, vanishing his broom and pecking Draco on the cheek.
"The whole time," said Neville. "Draco's been having to keep him calm. Oh look the front door's opening."
Everyone made sure they were in place behind the wards and waited until Hermione's parents led her into the backyard. She smiled and chatted and soon her father was holding the back door open. Hermione gasped at the decorations but was unaware of her friends standing all around her.
"It's lovely out he-" she began, but Ron had already given the signal and lifted the charms.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY HERMIONE!" they all shouted. Sparks and poppers were set off once the wards went down and confetti burst into being above Hermione's head.
She yelped and nearly ran out but turned back around quickly once she realized what was happening. She was laughing and dusting confetti from her lashes as Ron hugged her.
"Happy birthday, 'Mione," he said, kissing her softly.
