A few hours later, most of the Weasleys had left, as had Hermione. Fred, George, and Charlie were still there, and they sat in the living room with Harry and Draco, while Sean and Kayla went to bed, and Sirius and Remus cleaned up. Harry and the Weasley boys were talking enthusiastically about Quidditch, but Draco seemed to be daydreaming.

"What's the matter, darling?" Harry asked, softly, as he squeezed Draco's hand.

"I'm just worried about Mum," Draco murmured. He reached up to grasp the snake pendant on his necklace. "Dad is supposed to make this glow when it's okay for me to come to the hospital. They've been there for hours..."

"Don't worry," Charlie told him. "Labor can last for several hours. Mum was in labor with me for around eighteen hours, I think. I'm sure everything will be fine."

"I hope you're right," Draco sighed. "I don't want to lose another sibling..." He stood up. "Harry, love, I'm going to go lie down in your room." He gave Harry a light kiss, then went upstairs.

"We should get going," Charlie commented, standing and stretching his arms above his head. "It was good seeing you again, Harry. Happy birthday."

"Thanks," Harry said. Charlie and Fred left through the fireplace, but George hung back. He sat down with Harry.

"You're happy, aren't you, Harry?" George asked, seriously. "You're happy with Draco and your family and everything?"

"I'm not happy yet, but I'm well on my way to being there," Harry told him with a small smile. "Why do you ask?"

"Come on, Harry, you know that I love you like a brother," George said, softly. "And I look out for my brothers. I've been worrying about you, especially since that fight with Draco. If he ever hurts you again, tell me. All right? I won't tolerate anybody hurting my family." He wrapped Harry in a tight embrace.

"Thanks, George. I appreciate the fact that you care, but I don't think I'll be having any more problems with Draco."

"I hope you don't. You two are bloody soulmates." George placed a hand on either side of Harry's face and kissed his forehead. "I'm here for you if you need me. Happy birthday, mate." With that, George left, and Harry went upstairs to his room.

"Everybody gone?" Draco asked from where he was curled up on Harry's bed. Harry lay next to him, yawning as he nodded his head.

"Yeah, they're gone," he mumbled, sleepily. "Anything from your dad?" Draco sighed and shook his head.

"I hope everything's all right," he whispered as he cuddled up to Harry.

Around 2:30 A.M., Harry was awoken by Draco bolting upright in bed. His necklace was glowing bright green, and he jumped out from under the blankets, landing on the floor and pulling on his shoes.

"I'm coming with you," Harry told Draco.

He grabbed a piece of parchment and quickly scribbled a note to Sirius and Remus, and then the two boys went to St. Mungo's through the fireplace. They obtained Katie's room number from an old witch at the front desk, then proceeded to run down to Room 293. Severus sat in a chair next to Katie's bed, and he cradled a tiny bundle in his arms, whispering softly to it. Katie lay in the bed, half asleep and smiling at Severus. She heard the boys' footsteps and beckoned for them to come in.

"Mum?" Draco whispered, rushing to the side of the bed. Harry hung back at the foot of it.

"Everything's fine now, Draco," Severus assured him, softly. He nodded towards the bundle. "It's a girl. We named her Catherine Marie."

Draco reached his hand over, and his fingers barely grazed the baby's forehead. There was a bit of black hair on her head, and her slightly-open eyes were green. She let out a yawn and closed her eyes all the way, falling asleep.

"She's beautiful," Draco murmured. He kissed Catherine's forehead, then Katie's cheek. Then he gave Severus a hug. "Everything's all right, then?" Severus nodded.

"She was born at around 6:30," he explained, standing and lowering the baby into her small crib. "Things didn't seem to be going well for several hours, but she's fine now. Both of them are fine now."

"Are we allowed to stay, Dad?" Draco wondered. "Or do we have to go home?"

"Family can stay," Severus replied, sending an apologetic look to Harry. Draco stepped over to his boyfriend and gave him a hug.

"Go on home, love," he murmured. "Get some sleep, and I'll see you sometime tomorrow."

Harry nodded and gave Draco a kiss, then waved at Severus and Katie and left. When he got home, he found Sirius sitting on the sofa in the living room, reading a book. The older wizard looked up when he heard Harry come in.

"How are they?" Sirius asked. Harry lay down on the couch with his head in Sirius's lap, and Sirius stroked his hair.

"They're fine," Harry yawned. "It's a girl named Catherine. She was born around 6:30, so yes, we share a birthday... Only family was allowed to stay, so I had to come home."

"Go to bed, kiddo," Sirius ordered him. "You need some more sleep. We'll talk more tomorrow."

At breakfast the next morning, Harry received two letters from the post owls. He gave them a bit of food, then sent them on their way and opened the first letter. It had the Hogwarts seal on it. Inside the envelope were a letter and a shiny gold badge with the letter 'P' on it.

"Bloody hell, they made me a prefect!" Harry exclaimed as he read his letter. Sirius snorted.

"Wonder why," he commented, chuckling. "It was the same thing with James: the one who sneaks around the most and gets in all the trouble becomes a prefect."

"Hey, aren't the prefects' badges usually silver?" Remus wondered.

"Professor McGonagall says in her letter that I'm the only one who has a gold badge, just as a precaution while I'm at home."

"What's your other letter, Harry?" Sean wondered. Harry shrugged his shoulders and read the second note.

"George wants to know if I can meet him in Diagon Alley this afternoon," he said. "He wants to take me out for my birthday, and I can get my school supplies as well."

"Is something going on between you and George?" Sirius wondered, his eyebrows raised. "You two were looking pretty cozy last night, before he left." Harry shook his head.

"He and I have been close ever since I came out," he explained. "With the problems I was having with Ron and everything, George has been like an older brother to me. I don't know how you could even imagine me having those kinds of feelings for him! My heart is promised to Draco."

"I was just curious," Sirius said, frowning at Harry's tone.

"Sorry," Harry sighed. "Anyway, can I go? He wants me to meet him The Leaky Cauldron at 2:30."

"As long as you're back by suppertime," Remus agreed.
