Sadly I own nothing, all rights go to our Queen JKR. I passed my exams enough to enrol on the next rather expensive college course!

Also to the Guest reviewer Goose, no my name is not Rebecca it was not a self-insert XD

6th June 1985 - The Party.

The morning of Draco's Party had arrived, the whole house was like a mad house, all the adults except Tom were preparing for the gathering, which cheekily meant he had been instructed with all four children; yes that included the baby! Not wanting to fail, or give himself a headache, he had instructed the older children to decorate banners for the party, Ginny and Luna had floo'd through at some point early morning to 'help'. He had sat them all at the long table in the dining room, leaving plenty of space and time for Tom to deal with Aurora, surely how hard was it to entertain such a small human? Very, apparently! She definitely had the Black temper showing through. Well, that was until Sirius walked past with some form of biscuit which seemed to have instantly silenced the young child! Tom would be asking Sirius about that later.

"Baaahh." Aurora seemingly thanked Sirius.

"How is she doing Tom?" Lucius walked past as he was tying balloons at the ends.

"She is fine, Sirius gave her a biscuit and she stopped her consistent whining."

Lucius stopped to eye the baby who was happily munching away at the food in her hand Aurora had begun a few days ago babbling a few odd sounds she thought as words. She was thoroughly enjoying the crushed up biscuit in her hands, Lucius sniffed it, it smelt ok. He saw Sirius heading back towards him, streamers in his hands when Lucius grabbed his arm and took him to one side.

"What did you feed my Daughter Black?"

"Calm down Lucy, I gave her a rich tea finger, she loves them."

"How would you know what she loves?"

"Whenever she cries, I give her one. Hence why I am her favourite person." He shrugged at the men and winked at the baby.

Lucius was gobsmacked, Narcissa was rather strict on the foods the children could eat, but yet Sirius seemed to be giving his Daughter food secretly more often than not.

"Where are they?"

"You are not having them, it is my ticket to being cool with these youngsters." Sirius frowned in defiance.

"No, I only want to try one."

"You want to try a Muggle biscuit?"

"Food is food." Now it was Lucius's turn to shrug.

Sirius opened his jacket pocket and offered a biscuit each to the gentlemen. Both men agreed they were rather tasty, quickly eating them before anyone saw and got them in trouble.

"Seeing as though you seem to make her happy, you can have her for an hour please Sirius? I did not finish my business from yesterday with Bellatrix." Tom almost pleaded, such of an act would normally be beneath him, however, Tom was busy and he needed to make 'friends' before making enemies.

"Sure, Cissy kicked me out of the kitchen anyway, do you need help with your foreign problem?"

"I may need your assistance, I will inform you."

Sirius bowed his head before bouncing off with a giggling Aurora to see how the children were faring, he had helped open the glitter tubs as Antonin and Severus floo'd in.

"Good Morning Gentleman, care to join us?" Sirius grinned.

Antonin quickly agreed, he was much like Sirius and Rabastan, young children at heart who was not afraid to let their inner child out! Quickly taking his seat between Pansy and Hermione he began drawing a Dragon, it wasn't until then that anyone knew how well Antonin could draw. Severus took one look at the mess and politely declined, offering to find Lucius to have his input on a school matter. Draco waved to him and thanked him politely for his potions set, he had wanted to already play with his new set however, his parents told him he had to wait until after his party to do so. Even with a child's beginner set Draco if brewing a potion wrong could still do damage that may not have been replaceable by the time his party arrived.


By 11 am the majority of his guests had arrived and Draco had started the party games, Pass the Howler, Pin the Wand on the Wizard and Musical Gargoyles were the most popular. Pansy's mother had dropped her off again without staying, only waving a Hello and Goodbye to Narcissa, this irked Bellatrix to no end. Yes, Pansy was strong willed but no more than Bella had been at her age, if she could make a living out of just taking children, Pansy would be her third child, yes that was a private joke between Narcissa and Bella. At least she could use Tom to bully Pandorea and Cyrus into letting Bellatrix 'Tutor' the girl at a later date.

Theo had stuck to his Father after being told he had to publically apologize to Pansy. Thoros Nott was not a man to get on the wrong side off, and for no one to have told Thoros that his son had embarrassed him was such an insult and a major embarrassment, it wasn't until Sirius had a word with Tom to tell Thoros he was to let Theo play and that boys will be boys, did he allow Theo to leave him. Sirius made a mental note to speak with Lucius over Theo, the boy's relationship reminded him so much of the relationship he had once had with his parents. Sirius could see that Theo was already showing signs of advanced intellect and would fair well with Hermione as study partners, he wondered if it was an act? Thoros had recently lost his wife and although he seemed angry with Theo at the time, he still kept a hand on the boy's shoulder in a gentle manner, not in any way controlling or rough. Lucius brought Sirius out of his thoughts as he called everyone around to sing to Draco.

Pansy and Luna had stuck with Ginny and Hermione, all giggling over silly things from the outcome of each game to the way Antonin loved to make a complete fool of himself all for the pure enjoyment of the girls. Blaise, Greg, and Vince had fluttered between entertaining the girls with their 'charm' and looking at Draco's new swing set through the window. Draco was rather impressed that the weather was still wet so his friends could not ask to try his new toys out before he was willingly offering for them to join. It was not that Draco was spoilt, his parents brought him up to share openly, something Draco did not enjoy until he had his fair share of a turn with his own toys.

"Happy Birthday!" Everyone in the room shouted in unison as Draco blew out his candles on his dragon cake. Narcissa had yet again outdone herself.

"Now then, can everyone please be quiet, thank you." Lucius turned and knelt next to his Son. "Draco, your Mother and I are extremely proud of you and how well you have handled your studies this year and with the changes to the family dynamics too, we invested in another present for you, this is your last Birthday present." Lucius smiled at him whilst handing him a training broom.

"Wow... Thank you." Draco hugged both of his parents very tightly, he would be the first of his friends to have his first broom. Not even Tom had bought one for Harrison yet, although he secretly hoped Harrison and Hermione may receive on by Christmas so he could fly with them.

"It also comes with safety equipment for his broom and how to fly instructions," Narcissa informed him before she gave him a quick kiss on his cheek.

As she bent down Aurora who had been sat on her hip during the birthday song made a grab for Draco's broom. Draco was an amazing big brother, sharing everything he owned with his sister, his broom, however, he was not sharing with her. If he had to wait until he was 6 for one then so did she! He moved back and offered to put it in his room. His Father said that was a very wise idea and sent it there with wandless magic.

'Today had been another great day!' Thought Draco.
