December 30^th, 1999

Harry came downstairs with Lily to find everyone already there.

“Er, hello?” He asked the collection of Weasleys, Hermione now counted among their number, and Draco and Severus with their son.

“I made them come early, love. You know Lily will be best earlier, you don't want her getting overstimulated after her nap, you know it will ruin the whole day.” Lucius said.

Harry nodded. “You have a point. I thought Revyn and Nathan, as well and Tristan and Arianna would all be coming.”

“They are.” Lucius told him. “They are coming now, I just got word ten minutes ago.”

Harry frowned. “Well, how are they getting here?”

“Apparition.” Lucius said evenly.

“Who’s Apparating them, then?” Was the next question as Harry set Lily in her high chair.

“You’ll see.” Came the enigmatic reply as the door opened and five figures walked in, one holding a baby.

Harry smiled at Dumbledore. “Hello, Sir! I’m glad you could make it!”

Dumbledore smiled. “I would never miss the little lady’s birthday.” He said, coming up and hugging Harry.

“Well, I think for today, we’ll let the little ones eat the cake we got for Lily, while there is a nice champagne cake for the adults.” Lucius said. “Don’t worry, the alcohol is gone from the baking, only the taste remains.” He assured everyone.

Hermione smiled, holding her son, Braiden. “I don’t think anyone here is currently in the family way, anyway.”

“I hope not.” Draco said, looking around. Between Zaren, Dante, Braiden and Lily, there were four babies, three of them in high chairs, and all three of those ones were starting to talk. “There are quite enough babies being born lately.”

“Well, I suppose, if no one objects to it, cake for breakfast?” Harry suggested.

“For the babies, too?” Hermione asked reproachfully.

“Er, yeah, if Lily can’t have cake for breakfast on her birthday when can she?” Harry asked her.

Hermione sighed. “I hope you have started her on brushing her teeth.”

“She gets her three teeth brushed every night. The Muggle way, even.”

Lucius sneered. “I put up with him because I love him.” He reminded himself.

There were chuckles all around, and Harry brought over the cake for the babies—which of course was pink and green—and Lucius levitated the grown-ups’ much bigger cake to the end of the table he was standing at while Harry dealt with the smaller one closer to the babies. He cut it into equal portions and handed them out, Lily getting hers first, then Dante, then Zaren.

“Those are awfully big pieces.” Hermione told him, again in reproach.

“Relax, Mione, they’re going to mostly play with it, and we can just vanish the mess. Braiden is going to be growing up very jealous and repressed if you don’t lighten up before he gets much older.” Harry told her.

Hermione looked down at her two-day-old son. “Perhaps you’re right.” She mused softly.

Ron grinned behind her back and shot Harry two thumbs up.

“It’s fine, you’ll calm down once all those post-partum hormones clear up. I remember the first few days.” Harry commiserated with her, and Braiden woke and started fussing.

Hermione blushed. “I’m going to go find a parlour and feed him. I’ll come back in a bit.”

Harry waved goodbye to her as she began cooing at her new son.

Ron watched her go and turned to Harry. “Save us both slices, we’ll be back!” He said before hurrying after her.

Harry and Lucius shared a smile as everyone else chuckled.

The babies were babbling away as the next cake was cut and plates were passed around, everyone settling in to eat their highly-sugary breakfast.

After they had all eaten, Hermione and Ron re-joining them about halfway through, the babies were cleaned by spell, Revyn and Nathan exclaiming over how easy wizard magic made everything. Then it was time for presents.

Lily was given so many toys, most of which made noise, and were probably given to her for the sole purpose of annoying Harry and Lucius to no end, but she seemed thrilled with all of them.

They all moved to the parlour and the three babies that were mobile were placed on the floor with the new toys and Lily demonstrated that she was, in fact, able to share at her tender age.

“Lucius, I’m having a craving.” Harry whispered to his husband as he watched their daughter playing.

“What, then?” Lucius asked back, under his breath.

“Cinnamon.” Harry breathed against his ear.

Lucius shivered in reaction. “I will give you plenty as soon as we are alone.” He whispered back, and Hermione smiled at them from her chair.

“You two lovebirds are supposed to be being good hosts, not whispering sweet nothings to each other while we watch your birthday girl!” She playfully chided them.

“Well, we’re watching her, too.” Harry defended himself. “It’s not like we nipped away for a quickie.” He added under his breath, and Lucius chuckled, wrapping an arm around his waist.

Lily managed to activate a toy that belched a long stream of coloured smoke along with an ear-splitting whistle, and Harry scowled as she squealed happily and clapped.

“Alright, who brought that one?” He asked, drawing his wand, and Dumbledore made a great show of looking up at the ceiling and whistling innocently.

Harry sighed, putting his wand away. “Not even worth it to spell his hair green.” He muttered sullenly. “He’d probably say it complemented his robes.”

The robes in question were magenta with pale pink presents on it, probably purchased specifically for this party.

Lucius sighed. It was going to be a long morning.
