Surprise

"It's my birthday," Draco said. "Everything has to be perfect."

"It was supposed to be a surprise party," Harry said.

"I'll act surprised."

"Or I could cast a memory charm on you."

"You're not mucking with my brain." Draco took out a roll of parchment. "I've outlined some suggestions for you."

"You mean about what kind of cake you want, music you like, that sort of thing?"

Draco looked down his nose at Harry. "You weren't thinking of serving cake, were you? That's so crass."

"What did you want instead? Candied Flobberworm tongues?"

"I've noted the menu in section three, along with the address of the caterer."

"Caterer?" Harry reached for the parchment, but Draco pulled it out of the way.

"I'm not done yet." Draco unrolled it and scanned the text. "Now, when I make my entrance, I want you to put everyone who was ever mean to me over to the left." Draco looked up. "That ought to include you, but I'll let you off, obviously."

"How nice of you."

"But make sure Weasley is there."

"You're going to curse them, aren't you, Draco?"

The tip of Draco's nose turned pink. "Not curse. More like hex. A little."

"You can't do that!"

"But it's my birthday!"

Harry sighed. "What else do you have in there?"

"Let's see...an ice sculpture of a dragon -- not life-sized, of course. Live music -- I gave you three bands to choose from. It's a surprise party, after all." Draco unrolled the parchment further. "Precision flyby of the Oswinder Ogg Trained Owl Troupe..."

"Draco."

"...all new furniture, this stuff is so tacky..."

"Draco."

"...fireworks, champagne..."

"Draco!" Harry put his hand on Draco's wrist. "No."

"No?"

"No." Harry took the parchment and dropped it on the table. "Just some friends, some normal food, and Hermione's embarrassing party games."

"But it's my birthday!"

"There'll be presents."

"They had better be good ones."

"And afterward..."

"Yes?"

"I'll let you fuck me."

Draco bit his lip. "All right then."

"All right." Harry grinned.

"The presents had better be really good."

Lovely! I like the idea of you giving us gifts on your birthday. It... reinforces my sense of privilege and entitlement. And yes, my surname is Malfoy. Why do you ask?

[prillalar]

Hee! The gifts are supposed to make you feel all hobbity and homely. Where did I go wrong?

:D

or: awww. draco's idea sounds like fun as well *g*

ps: reminds me of stuart and vince in the beginning *sigh*

[prillalar]

I know, Draco's party was so grand! Personally, I don't know how Harry could pass up the chance to see the Oswinder Ogg Trained Owl Troupe.

[chzbrgr-of-doom.livejournal.com]

XD precious.

[prillalar]

Ta!

Draco bit his lip. "All right then."

Bee hee hee!

Yay for good old pairings.

[prillalar]

I like H/D because there's a lot you can make them do and people will buy into it. Hmm, that sounded way more cynical than I meant it to be. I just meant that they're versatile. And bendy. Or something.

[codyne]

Hee! I like!

[prillalar]

Yay!

*giggles* That is so like Draco. XD
<333

[prillalar]

Harry's so mean to him! *g*

[meemobunny.livejournal.com]

Bwahaha, your icon is <333 (is Momo in a pink apron??)

[prillalar]

Yes. :) It's from the beach volleyball crack ep. They're working in the restaurant and Momo and Kaidoh start fighting and then there's this shot that looks *exactly* like they're kissing. So, iconage.

[meemobunny.livejournal.com]

Oh, I remember that episode! I would've sworn that image was Photoshopped, but now that you mention it... XD The animators sure know how to feed the fangirls, huh?

[prillalar]

I did shop out a couple of counters, but I didn't change a thing about Kaidoh and Momo. :)

This is too cute! :D

[prillalar]

Thank you. :)

ahahahaha! i loved it...there needs to be more fics like this *sigh*.

[prillalar]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

Oh my goodness, your Draco is a thing to savor. So adorable. *licks*

:) Actually, I came here to comment on your fic, The Curious Vengeance of Draco Malfoy, which I found via a page full of infidelity/breakup fic links--and I wanted to tell you how very much I loved that fic. The two holes in the shed at the end just got me. Nngh. And the dialogue between Draco and Cho was perfect. I loved how she kept prodding and shoving and poking him--and she was funny. Not sappy or excessively weepy--which made her tears, when they came, all the more genuine. You write fabulously. I'm going to have to check out your other H/D fics...are you still in HP fandom much? :) Just curious.

Thanks for writing!!!

[prillalar]

I'm glad you enjoyed this and the Cho fic too! The Draco/Cho was my first foray into HP fic so it's great to know people still enjoy it.

I'm not much in HP fandom anymore. I do still write the occasional Marcus/Oliver, but that's about it.
