Sadly I own nothing, all rights go to our Queen JKR.
5th June 1985 - Draco's Birthday celebrations
Everyone who came within ten metres of Draco for the last few weeks knew that this morning would mark his 6th Birthday, he had become rather infuriating with the happiness he was showing, a typical giddy 6 year old. Lucius had now been minister for a few months, so far so good, no major incidents to contend with, only a troll revolt, a vamipire threatening to wipe out the entire country and after a month's battle recieving confirmation to create the dragon reserve. He felt extremely lucky to be able to manage to have a few days off for his sons birthday. He wanted to spend as much time with Draco before yet another baby Malfoy was screaming their lungs, which would echo the manners walls. Yes, Narcissa's pregnancy had grown beautifully without any complications, September 21st Andromeda gathered Narcissa would give birth judging on her past records.
"Hermione, Harrison, wake up, I am 6 today!" Draco had gone bounding into each of their rooms and back out again, Bellatrix in tow, the two marching like soldiers, both grinning like Cheshire cats.
Hermione did not mind Draco waking her up, although she knew Harrison would have hexed him if he had his own wand. Chuckling at the thought she met Draco coming out of his parent's room, she gave him a quick hug and wished him Happy Birthday.
"Thank you, today is just us, tomorrow is my party. Mother has never thrown my party on my Birthday because today is about family time." Draco told Harrison with a grin.
The trio walked downstairs into the parlour where Lucius had just finished putting his Birthday banner up.
"Happy Birthday my little big Dragon." Lucius picked him up and spun him in a hug.
"Thank you, Father." Draco grinned back up at Lucius with such admiration in his eyes.
"How about breakfast?" Lucius put Draco down and led them to the Dining room for breakfast where Sirius and Narcissa were already seated.
"Only just got in Sirius?" Lucius frowned at him.
"I attended Fenrir's pack's full moon last night..." Sirius shot Lucius a glare before turning to Harry and Hermione.
"Morning Pup and Princess Pup." He gave them both a big hug before ruffling Draco's hair Happy Birthday.
The trio mumbled a morning back, Hermione and Harrison turned to leave, Draco stayed to speak to his Mother.
"Oh!" Lucius spoke once little ears were not in as close distance.
"Yes, It was nice to see Remus again, however, I am exhausted, he is definitely much happier now he is staying with the pack, he promised he and Fenrir were coming to the wedding. He is much happier, younger like, the pack are vicious and full of energy almost battery like. I am staying up until around dinner, then I will take a short nap before tea."
"Good idea." Narcissa patted his hand before catching Draco.
"Happy Birthday my sweetheart."
"Thank you, Mother." Draco took her hand and placed a gentle kiss on the back of it before sneaking a cuddle in too.
Sirius chuckled at the young Malfoy but then a quick wave of jealousy swept over him, clearly, his emotions betrayed him as Narcissa had seen the look.
"Sirius?" Narcissa asked him when the children had left the room.
"Nothing, I was only admiring your relationship with Draco, you both have done a fantastic job of raising them."
"Well, someone has to, Tom is on a mission to make England great again, I for one wanted Draco to grow up knowing love and now Aurora too, alongside Hermione and Harrison must too."
"Yes well, we always want better, don't we? Harrison is not my own although I am as close to him in blood as Tom is." Sirius spoke quietly, not resentful, more hopeful to not mess up his future with his Godson, it was not a secret to any of the adults in the house that Sirius had performed blood magic on Harry with James and Lily when he was newborn to ensure a better future.
After breakfast, everyone including Tom had convened into the Parlour to watch Draco all his gifts.
Tom had gifted him a picture with some form of contraption on which confused Draco immensely.
"It is a swing set, this is a huge outdoor activity toy." Harry said in awe to him.
"Thank you so very much, Tom, is it here?" Draco asked looking at the door.
"Yes, it is outside, you may play on it later, your Father and I have it shrunk until after your party."
Draco nodded in understanding and turned back to his gifts.
His Parents had bought him a whole new complete wardrobe with shoes and ties.
Aurora had gifted him a dragon; although she had it and at nearly 6 months she was sat on Narcissa's knee chewing its tail, Draco did not mind really, he would take it from her whilst she was sleeping and put it in his room. He had already gifted her a Dragon, she did not need two!
Sirius had bought him a bicycle; he had actually bought Hermione and Harrison one each too, seeing as though he had not been around for any of their Birthdays!
Bellatrix had sulked and stomped in a paddy until Lucius agreed that 6 was not too young for a Hatch a Dragon, this year's 'it' toy. Bellatrix in typical Bella form knew she would win and already had the broom hidden in her room from Christmas!
Hermione and Harrison had gifted him new books and drawing equipment.
Severus had sent ahead his gift beforehand as he was working; he gifted Draco a starter potions kit and extra child-friendly potions with ingredients and recipes. In hopes when the trio started Hogwarts, they wouldn't be complete dunderheads like he was teaching now.
Draco thanked every profusely, he was very happy with all his gifts. Looking at his bike, he raced Hermione and Harrison to get ready! The Morning was spent with Sirius and Lucius outside teaching them to cycle, Tom and Bellatrix sat on the sidelines watching on. Bellatrix had been trusted with Aurora whilst Narcissa baked Draco's cake; something that had become a tradition. Draco had become the first to master how to actually cycle, the bikes did not come with stabilisers, with a lot of patience, encouragement and safety charms, so did Hermione and Harrison, much to Sirius delight as Narcissa came out to announce Dinner was ready.
On the table was a light buffet of fruit, cheeses, jams, crackers and juices. Aurora had screamed and carried on until Draco had sat with her, she could be so demanding! Watching her big brother eat his food somehow came across she could throw hers on the floor. Narcissa tutted and mumbled how she was over tired and she should sleep.
Draco chuckled watching his Mother lightly scold a 6-month-old, he knew she could not tell a baby off. In 6 months Draco quickly learnt that under a certain age, babies were given a lot of leniency on their behaviour. If Draco decided to throw his food on the floor; actually it was not worth thinking about.
"Mother, who is coming to my party tomorrow?"
"Pansy, Ginny, Luna, Gregory, Vincent, Theo, Blaise, Daphne and Astoria, Tonks." Lucius supplied seeing his wife was preoccupied with their Daughter.
"Which adults have you invited Father?"
"Just the usual few Draco, Antonin, Severus, Rodolphus, Rosemerta, Rabastan and William."
"Their wedding is next Month."
"Close, it is the month after. In August, are you looking forward to it?"
"Yes, I do believe I am."
The rest of the day was spent outside yet again on the bikes, all three children had grown a liking to them. Harrison fell off the most, Sirius and Lucius could not decide if that was because he was naturally accident prone or whether he was too busy watching the flying snitches on his helmet! Tom and Bellatrix had stayed inside due to business with a Death Eater in Bulgaria. Narcissa had also decided to stay in was best for herself and Aurora, the baby was exhausted and enjoyed way too much torn up wrapping paper.
