WHO: Mandy Brocklehurst-Boot and Draco Malfoy
WHEN: 5 June 2005
WHERE: the balcony at the beach house
WHAT:Draco’s 25th birthday
Rating/Status: R/completed
Mandy had spent days trying to figure out what to get Draco for his birthday and in the end still didn’t know what to do for him. He was a hard person to give a gift to, not because he was picky but because he had what he needed and wanted. In the end she decided to do a small getaway for them to a quaint bed and breakfast near the coast in Brighton. It was a peaceful place set outside of the city and very near the beach. It seemed like a relatively simple thing but a night without the children and adult time had been glorious in France and she was looking forward to it again.
The hardest part of the plan was getting the Ministry to approve them a portkey for the trip. The woman at the desk had acted like she was asking for something unheard of. Go on holiday? To the beach? With Draco Malfoy? Gasp and sputter, it was insanity. Mandy had refrained from hexing the stupid witch and instead paid the extra 10 galleons they charged and kept her mouth shut. She really wanted the birthday to work and was willing to do whatever it took to get everything in order.
Flooing to the cottage on Sunday, Mandy had gotten everything ready for him to arrive on Sunday morning. Breakfast, food, clothes, and everything they needed to block out the rest of the world for a few hours. Her mother would be watching the kids for the day and night and Mandy was prepared to take advantage of the situation.
Sitting on the balcony of the room, she waited for Draco to arrive via portkey at exactly 10:45 am. His gifts spread out on a nearby table; a set of old and valuable potions books, a new pair of dress robes to replace the ones ruined during an art class, and a bottle of wine to share.
Draco had packed early that morning while waiting for the arrival of Mandy’s mum at the townhouse. He’d checked over everything twice, making quite certain he hadn’t forgotten anything he might need while away. When Mandy’s mum arrived, he made certain she was comfortable, and that she didn’t need anything else, while the children declared that they could take care of her just fine and would show her where everything was.
As he readied to leave, it felt strange to leave someone behind in his home, but it was simplest this way. The children were all comfortable here, and he had made certain to put away behind locks anything he didn’t want them (or Mandy’s mother) getting into, such as his work. He made sure to give all three children hugs and kisses, and then he left.
He stepped into the cottage, smiling to see Mandy before he even looked at the gifts. One eyebrow rose as he went to join her.
Mandy looked up from her spot on the balcony as she heard Draco enter. She stood up and crossed the space, a smile on her face. “Happy Birthday, lover.” She wrapped her arms around him and tilted her head up for a welcome kiss. “I have been looking forward to this day for weeks now.” She said with a grin, the stress of the past weeks melting away. Sure, she saw him everyday and spent a lot of time casually touching him, kisses and hugs were commonplace for her. She loved to touch but to be alone, without children on his birthday felt different.
She had planned a leisurely day complete with a romantic dinner in the evening but wanted to just be held for a few minutes. It scared her but she loved him.
Draco wrapped his arms around her, pulling her in close as one hand cradled her head and he lingered over the kiss. “Bel oiseau,” he murmured before he kissed her again. He had never been so comfortable touching anyone but Alyssa before Mandy entered his life, but with her he was relaxed and easy. He almost needed to touch her, to have her close. He had come to realize exactly how important she was to him, and it was a terrifying thought in many ways, but he had accepted it. She was a part of his life, and that was that.
He drew back finally, a half smile quirking his lips. “So, what have you planned for us?”
“I have a quiet day of shopping, the beach, and relaxation planned.” In reality she had hoped he wouldn’t mind spending at least part of the day in the big bed. She had gotten passed most of the sickness from her pregnancy and realised her hormones were a bit out of control. She had been a bit insatiable and the prospect of spending the day with him with no interruptions made her very happy. “I have a few gifts, nothing special.” She waved her hand in the general direction of the table where the wrapped gifts sat. She tilted her head back up and kissed him. It was a slow, leisurely kiss, just like the others she normally gave him.
“I wanted it to be a quiet day for us, a special dinner and just relaxation without all the kids around. I didn’t think you wanted anything big or loud where we invited everyone to celebrate.”
“Being toasted was enough of a public celebration,” Draco admitted. He hadn’t minded having it mentioned at Virginia’s party, particularly since she had wanted to share her day. But he didn’t need anything more than that. “Gifts aren’t even necessary as long as I have you here.” His mouth trailed kisses down her neck, nipping at soft skin. He liked that he didn’t have to be circumspect, that he could be leisurely and tease her, not worried about one of the children interrupting. “Although I could begin unwrapping my gifts, if that’s what you think I might do first.”
“I don’t know.” She was smiling, leaning against him as she pretended to ponder the question. “I think the gifts could possibly wait and lunch isn’t for a few more hours... We could always find something here to occupy us.” She slid her hands under his shirt and against his skin. “I bet we could be very creative and think of fun games to play while we pass the time.” She couldn’t get any closer to him, the length of her body pressed against his. “I can think of one or two things I would like.” The smirk on her face made it obvious what she was thinking about, she had even wondered if the private balcony was private enough.
Draco turned her, pulling her back against his front, hands sliding under her t-shirt to rest against her belly as he nipped at her neck. “This gift cannot wait,” he murmured between nips, teeth scraping over her skin. “And I intend to unwrap her immediately. Just one moment...” He slipped his wand from his pocket, casting a spell to distract attention from the balcony. His teeth found her ear then, as he pulled her bum back firmly against himself, where he was most definitely becoming aroused. “The only question,” he whispered, “is can you be quiet enough? No one will see...”
