Harry was never alone in the last days of his pregnancy. George had gone with Bill to the Burrow to kick the others out but reluctant. He wanted to be there both for Harry and his twin. He could not replace Fred, but he was the closest thing Harry could have to him there. Remus reminded him Harry was not due for another week. And assured him that he would send word if Harry went into labor. Charlie had gone to find them when he learned Harry's water had broken. For obvious reasons, he had to wait, until the two had left the Burrow though. The Weasleys would know he was alive soon enough. But not yet and they needed to make sure that Harry's little girl was safe. George wondered how his mother would react when she learned about the baby. Harry was not about to allow her contact but his daughter was her granddaughter.

Harry had been with Draco and Remus out in the gardens when his water had broken. Andromeda was there and Severus had been able to get away. Harry may have preferred Poppy but she had been unable to get away from school and be there.

George arrived. "I am not too late?"

Angie shook her head. "No."

Fleur laughed. "He may wish you were."

Alicia motioned. "He will want you in there."

He went into the room. "Harry."

Harry had Oliver and Remus with him. "Thank Merlin you are here."

Oliver went to stand. "I will…."

Harry shook his head. "Stay."

Severus smirked. "The more lions the merrier it seems."

Harry grimaced through a contraction. "You know we are growing on you."

Severus smirked. "Some perhaps."

Andromeda looked at Harry. "You need to focus."

Harry sobbed as another hit. "I want him."

George sat with Harry. "I know but he is with you."

Remus nodded. "As is your mum."

There were so many people missing from that room that day. Harry missed them all but was Fred was of course the top. He should have been there holding Harry's hand. He should have been the one to cut their daughter's cord and bring her to Harry's arms. As Harry fought to bring her into the world, his mind was on Fred. He was just grateful his Aunt had helped and he would be here for her. He didn't face dying soon. He would raise her and maybe one day, he would move on. But he just needed to have her in his arms. Having George and Remus helped.

Andromeda smiled as a few hours after Harry's water broke, his daughter came into the world. She coaxed the little baby girl to cry, and all those in the room were mesmerized as her cries filled the air. She handed the baby over to Severus to check over.

Harry sobbed. "How is she?"

Andromeda smiled. "Beautiful."

Severus was working. "And looks healthy."

Harry looked at George. "Go see."

George smirked. "Don't want Severus to mess up."

Severus smirked. "I'll forget I heard that."

George looked down at her. "Fred's hair and nose."

Severus reminded him. "Someone needs to cut her cord."

Harry looked at George. "Since Fred can't."

George was happy to do the honors. "God he would have loved her."

Severus wrapped her up. "Her daddy would likely want to hold her."

George went and placed her in Harry's arms. "Here you go."

Harry touched her face. "She is so perfect."

Remus bent and kissed her. "A beauty."

Oliver agreed. "We should let you have some time."

Remus stayed in the room but George and Oliver took their leave with Severus and Andromeda. Harry took the time to bond with his little girl. She showed she had his mother's eyes, around when she was ready for her first nurse. If he had not already bonded with her, nursing did it. There was nothing like the feel. As he held her in his arms, he knew that Fred would always be with him. And he felt more at peace then he had ever felt. He would seek justice and ensure his daughter grew up safe and normal, but he was at peace as he was holding her.

Eventually everyone he loved came pouring into the room. Fred's friendly brothers were there to greet their niece, as were Fleur and the quidditch girls. Oliver and George had already been asked long ago to serve as her godfathers.

George smiled at the reminder. "I would have it no other way."

Oliver reminded him. "You have more choices now."

Katie smirked. "Like a godmother."

Harry laughed. "Like I said in Canada, I could choose none better."

Oliver took his goddaughter. "Then I'd be honored."

Bill looked down on her. "She is a little beauty."

Harry smiled. "I am sure her cousin will be too."

Luna asked. "What name have you chosen?"

Harry smiled. "Bryony Frederica."

Severus smirked from the door. "I thought Severin was on the list."

Harry looked at him. "A flower for my mother."

Remus reminded the man. "All but your sister."

Severus gave a rare smile. "I agree, a far more suitable name."

Severus had said it all in good humor. He had heard from Draco, what Harry had said when he had woken up from his coma. He would never expect the boy to name his child for him. He had saved Harry and never expected such an honor, he did it for Lily and Remus, and the boy. He loved Lily and thought a flower was the right choice. Frederica was of course for her daddy who could not be there to welcome her.

Luna took a photo. "For the frame you got for Christmas."


Bryony was a happy content little baby. The first picture of Harry and Bryony was now in the frame from Draco. He had moved it to the center place though. The photo with his parents was on the left, and the one with him and Remus with Teddy was on the right. Plenty of other photos had been taken of Bryony of course. Fleur had started a baby book for Harry which would soon be full. No one had seen Harry this happy in a long time. They knew he would still want justice, but for now his mind was on Bryony and her alone. They were surprised when Harry decided to wait until the anniversary. He thought it would be fitting if he came back from the head then. He also wanted that extra time just to bond with her.

Draco had come the day after the baby was born and had visited as often as he could. He made the excuse that he was here for his Uncle. But as the months passed, the friendship between him and Harry was evident. And Bree seemed to have a fondness for him as well.

Draco appeared on the eve of the anniversary. "Tomorrow."

Harry turned from where he had put Bree down for a nap. "It seems unreal."

Draco reminded him. "You can wait."

Harry shook his head. "I have had three months."

Remus was in the door. "There is no rush."

Draco agreed. "It doesn't have to be the anniversary."

Harry shook his head. "Albus needs to be brought down."

Remus came to his side. "You plan on Godric's Hollow tomorrow?"

Harry nodded. "And then the school. You are coming?"

Remus reminded him. "My wife if there."

Harry felt a pang. "I miss her."

Remus knew. "She loved you a lot, and not just because Sirius adopted you."

Draco wondered. "The kids?"

Harry turned. "Oliver and Viktor have offered to babysit."

Draco laughed. "I didn't see that one coming."

Remus reminded him. "Oliver is her godfather."

Harry added. "And since he is thought out of the country, he wont be missed. Andromeda and Ted would be."

Draco had forgotten for a moment about his Uncle. Tonks had helped her father escape from the Death Eaters. He had been thought dead but he turned out alive. Ted came to visit Harry when he could but it was not as easy for him. He worked for the ministry where his wife worked mainly on her own as a midwife. He was as fond of Harry and Bree as his wife was, and had visited the baby often. The couple were happy Remus had returned with their grandson, and Harry and Bree. They understood the move, wanted Teddy safe, but happy he was back.

Harry was surprised when Charlie arrived and told him that Fleur had gone into labor. She had been in labor for hours, but was close to delivery. Harry knew there was a slight risk but he promised to be there. They knew Molly and Arthur had nothing to do with the couple.

Harry used his spell from Moody. "Time to greet my niece."

Remus was concerned. "Maybe you should wait."

Harry reminded him. "I have a spell. And not pregnant."

"But Molly and Arthur…."

"I have a spell. Besides Bill says they have nothing to do with them."

Remus handed him a gift. "Remember Bree needs you."

Harry kissed his cheek. "Even seeking justice, you know she is my priority."

At the hospital George smiled. "We are about to go in."

Charlie nodded. "Our second….."

Bill appeared in the door. "Come in."

Fleur was in bed with her daughter. "Come see her."

Fleur's father smiled. "She is beautiful."

Bill looked at Harry and Charlie. "We would like you to be her godparents."

Fleur explained to Harry. "Gabrielle is too young, so I thought…."

Harry assured them. "I'd be honored."

Fleur's mother asked. "Her name."

Bill did the honors. "Victoire Jasmine Lynette."

They chose to honor the fact that she was born on the anniversary of the final battle, well the eve. Her middle names were chosen to honor her two godfathers. Charlie was the obvious choice, Bill's brother and best man, but Harry was honored as well. The names honored their families. Lynette was chosen, meaning little beautiful one, for Charlie and the Weasleys. And a flower was chosen to honor Harry through his mother.

Harry looked to Victor as they left. "Not jealous?"

Viktor laughed. "Not at all."

Harry shrugged. "Maybe a second, or George may choose you."

Viktor smirked. "And why would he?"

Harry had a glint. "He and Oliver are close."

Viktor blushed in denial. "And what does that have to do with me?"

They were interrupted by a voice. "A day early."

Harry groaned. "Molly."

Victor was surprised. "I didn't think they'd come see Fleur."

Harry realized. "Not who they are talking about."

Arthur looked towards a door. "I wish they had chosen another name."

Molly agreed. "A family name would have been more proper."

Harry groaned. "They didn't."

Arthur spat. "Cashing in on Harry again."

Molly was angry. "Don't start this again."

Harry watched as the couple had gone into the room and he was shaking in anger. He had been holding out hope they would have a girl. He knew the Weasleys rarely had girls, Ginny the first in a hundred years, and both he and Fleur had them, but still. He had been worried they would use his mother's name though. But it seemed Bree and Victoire would have a male cousin Harry. Harry wondered if he could sue them to change it.

Viktor laughed though when he summoned the chart and noted. "It looks like Bree and Victoire have a cousin, Harriet Jean Weasley."

An: No real runaway winner, Jasmine won by 2, but the combination was not popular. The name got used. I hope you like my final choice.

Bryony (Bree) Frederica Potter: Bryony (English) climbing vine. Floral name for Lily, Petunia and their mother. Frederica (English) peaceful ruler. For the baby's dad who was gone.

Victoire Jasmine Lynette: Victoire (French) victory, for the anniversary. Liked the name in the book. Lynette (English) little beautiful one. Arthurian name for Charlie, honors the family. Jasmine (Persian) jasmine flower. For Harry.

Harriet Jean Weasley: Harriet (English) home ruler. Jean (English) god is Gracious.

I normally wouldn't do three girls, but seemed fitting. Thought it would be funny for Ron and Hermione to have a girl when they were planning on a son Harry. And I always liked Victoire.
