There had been no big shouts of 'surprise', Seamus knew Dean far too well for that. He'd just lead him up to The Roost after Battlescars and let him push the door open to reveal a sandy floor, warm salt-and-coconut scented air and a 'Starry Night' sky. There was a bar at one end of the room, stocked and ready for people to help themselves (Seamus wasn't working tonight, though he'd doubtless end up there showing off his cocktail skills at some point). Along the side wall were tables for the food, already containing Aunt Rose's jerk chicken and Seamus's attempt at a pineapple upside down cake, vastly outdone by Aileen Finnigan's cherry cheesecake next to it. The rest of the large room was scattered with deckchairs, apart from a small decked area for dancing. The music of steel drums floated from nowhere and despite the bleak grey sky outside the room glowed with sunlight.

Being showered with gifts on his birthday always made Dean feel simultaneously pleased and just a tiny bit uncomfortable. Maybe it was the being centre of attention thing, and maybe it was his limited means making him feel guilty that when he gave them gifts he never felt they quite measured up. He was still profoundly glad that everyone had come and should have a good time.

Running a finger over a soft petal just as the rose changed colour Dean smiled softly. It was an amazing feat that Ernie's family had managed in these roses. "Thank you, and say thanks to your mum too," he said, before setting them aside so he could open his other gift.

He turned the package around a couple of times in his hands, fairly sure it was going to be a book of some sort before he ripped into it. "Oh, lovely," he said, flipping the book open and finding a page of pictures and looking at them in fascination. "Brilliant present, keep me busy for ages," he said, pulling Ernie in for a hug.

"And now I am going to find myself a drink before anyone else arrives. The setting clearly requires things with little umbrellas!" He walked determinedly in the direction of the bar, willing for once to drink more than a single butterbeer.
