Happy Birthday Draco Malfoy!

I gather the few papers left lying on my desk and put them into my briefcase, sighing as I snap it closed. I know that Harry will have some huge party arranged for when I walk through the door tonight, even though I told him all I wanted was to have a quiet night with him for a birthday present. I pick up my case and sling my suit jacket over my arm, nod to the receptionist on my way out and walk the few feet more to the apparition point.

I reappear in the west field, just off of the path that leads to the front grand entrance of the manor, or the back kitchen entrance that we use everyday. I open the door and expect to hear nothing, and am not surprised to be greeted by the silence. Although I am surprised to see that there isn’t a large stack of discarded shoes in the closet next to the back door that always give away when my Gryffindor has planned a surprise party.

“Harry!” I call out.

“In the living room!” a voice yells back.

I walk through the kitchen and stop in the doorway of the living room to see my sweet brunet twisted around to look over the back of the couch. “Hello love.” He purrs.

I walk around the couch and flop down beside him. “Where is everyone?” I ask, hoping that he says they aren’t coming. I love my friends and all, but I just don’t want to have the drunken soiree that always occurs on someone’s birthday.

“Not coming, I managed to postpone them until Saturday, is that okay? Pansy just wouldn’t hear of you not having a party!” He flushes slightly.

“That sounds wonderful!” I kiss him and get up to change into something more comfortable.

“What would you like for dinner love?” He asks.

“Take out?”

“Done.”

When I come back downstairs in my cotton pants and t-shirt I find Harry in the kitchen sitting at the table.

“Happy Birthday Draco!”

I walk over and sit cross from him and accept the present cautiously, unsure of what it is. “You didn’t have to.”

“I wanted to.”

“Fine.” I slit the tape with my nails, carefully manipulating the paper so that it won’t rip. Harry is watching me on tinder hooks. I go to turn it over to slit the tape on the underside.

“NO!” Harry practically screams. “You’ll just have to rip it! You can’t flip it over!”

I raise an eyebrow in skepticism, but don’t question it. I feel a small stab of pain as I tear the shiny paper into pieces. As the cardboard is exposed, I notice air holes cut into the sides. What the…?

I pull up the top off the box and see a small black Adler slithering around the inside. “Harry…he’s gorgeous!” He must have seen me looking at the petite animal the last time we went to Diagon Alley. I’ve always wanted a snake, but never had the time when I was at Hogwarts, and never found one I liked afterwards. “I think I shall name him Salazar.” I say as I pick the serpent up, and he slithers up around my hand, flicking his tongue out to smell me.

“How original!” Harry snorts.

“Do you have a suggestion?” I retort. He blushes. “I thought not. Salazar it is.”

The doorbell rings and I know that dinner is here.

“I set up the environment in the living room; if you wanted to put him in there we can eat and watch a movie?”

“Sure!” I reply and grab a couple of drinks from the fridge, Salazar coiled tightly around my left wrist. I place him in the large tank, turn on the heating lamp and secure the lid just as Harry walks in with a couple of steaming pizza boxes.

“Okay birthday boy, pick a movie!” He says pointing to the wall full of DVDs. I take a quick scan and pull out ‘Music and Lyrics,’ one of the new ones we haven’t yet watched.

I pop it in as Harry divvies out our dinner and flop down on the couch next to him. We eat and watch in relative silence. Harry snuggles up under my arm after he finishes, bringing a blanket up around the both of us. He’s asleep in a few minutes. These are the times I treasure, the innocent moments between me and my lover. I kiss the top of his head (I swear I see him smile) and I know that I will never love another, Harry James Potter is truly my one and only. This is when I realize that love is truly the best gift of all.
