Lavender beamed widely, her smile lighting up her face almost as much as the candle that was stuck in the Black Forest cupcake she was holding. The flame flicked blue-purple under her breath and she blew it out with a sharp exhale. She closed her eyes for a moment, dwelling on a happy thought, a wish.

When she looked at Cormac again, she was still smiling. Leaning over, Lavender kissed him soundly. "Thank you for a wonderful birthday," she said, lips still brushing his as she resisted pulling back too far. Cormac had cooked dinner, there had been presents, and now there was cake. Not to mention, of course, plenty of kisses. All in all, a fantastic way to end the day.

Lavender kissed him again for good measure before settling back on the couch and plucking the candle out of the cake. She broke the cake in half, offering him a piece. "Here." She grinned. "Something sweet for my sweet."

"Mmmm, don't mind if I do," he waggled his eyebrows and licked his lips, taking the offered cake with a big bite. "I'm just glad you let me spend it with you," he added, after he'd swallowed.

He'd wanted tonight to be special, not just because of her birthday, but because of the keyring he had in his pocket. True, she was welcome access to his floo, which not many people were, but that was only when it was connected, which basically meant if he was home, or knew specifically she was coming over. So he'd had a copy of his keys made, and had altered the wards to accept her as if she lived there.

It was quite the step he was excited to take, but he felt it might be too soon for asking her to give up her flat entirely (and as excited as that thought made him, it also still terrified him), but it was a good one, and in the right direction.

He thought about all of this one more time while he ate his cake and then he set it down and got up to wipe his hands in the kitchen and grabbed two flutes and the bottle of champagne Mel had sent with the basket of sweets. "A toast?" He asked, pouring for each of them before handing Lavender her glass and taking the keyring - with a mini crystal ball - out of his pocket.

"One more birthday gift," he said, holding up the keys and unsure what to say next.

"Are you kidding? This is exactly where I want to be tonight." She'd had dinner with her parents on Sunday, and lunch with Parvati earlier today, so now this was her time with Cormac. A witch had to have priorities, after all.

Lavender smirked. "I won't say no to champagne." She took the glass of champagne from Cormac. Distracted by making herself more comfortable, she wasn't looking at him when he produced the keyring.

"You're spoiling me," she admonished gently, tugging the skirt of her dress straight. Lavender turned to look at Cormac, continuing, "How am I ever going to recip...rocate." Her eyes widened as she took in what he was offering. "Oh." Reaching for it hesitantly, Lavender's surprise was written across her face. "Cormac?" she prompted.

"One of the many reasons I love you," he replied, glasses in hand.

When she looked up and seemed to be needing more information from him he laughed at himself. "It's not... I know it's not time to beg you move in with me just yet, don't worry, I'm crazy about you but not totally crazy..." He was though, "but I want you to be able to come and go as you please, I thought a set of keys...?" He looked across the table at her, his eyes round and - if he were honest - worried.

"That... That makes sense." Lavender took the keys, weighing the keychain in her palm. The miniature crystal ball felt smooth and cool against her skin. "Thank you," she said seriously. "I like the sound of that." The idea of moving in together wasn't totally foreign, of course. For the last few months, she'd had a drawer of her own here and she had kept a toothbrush in his bathroom for even longer than that. Moving into his place was the obvious choice seeing as he owned the building, but she wasn't ready for that either. In the meantime, this was a nice step.

She smiled. "I'll try not to abuse the privilege." Leaning over, she kissed his cheek. "Besides," she teased, "I don't think there's enough room for all of our combined beauty products yet."
