Author's Note: Hey everyone, sorry it took me so long to update. I haven't had much time to write recently due to the start of school. I will try to update as often as possible from now on, however.
Disclaimer: See previous chapters, I'm too lazy to make new ones.
The next week went by in a blur. Cassie and Harry had met several more times, and today was a Hogsmeade day, the day before Cassie's birthday. She sat in a carriage with her parents and Harry, her head resting on her boyfriend's shoulder while he held her hands in his lap. She looked up to see him smiling a her, before he kissed her forehead softly. Remus and Sirius grinned at the two.
"Took him long enough," Remus whispered. "Don't you think?"
Sirius nodded. "Kind of like you."
Remus chuckled, gaining the attention of the younger couple.
"What's so funny?" asked Cassie.
"Nothing," Sirius replied. "We were just saying how much you two remind us of us."
Cassie giggled and kissed Harry softly.
They arrived in the village and the men left Harry and Cassie alone to explore. They visited some of the shops, merely looking before Cassie went to join Ginny and Ron met up with Harry. When his girlfriend had disappeared, Harry waved to Ron.
"Come with me," he told his friend, before looking around quickly and ducking into a jewelry shop.
The bell rang as he walked in, and the wizard looked up at the two boys and nodded.
"What can I help you with, lads?" he asked.
"I'm looking for a promise ring," Harry replied. "For my girlfriend."
"Promise ring?" Ron questioned in a whisper.
"It's a muggle custom," Harry answered. "It shows that I promise to marry her when the time comes."
"Wow," Ron breathed.
"Ah, a Muggleborn,then?" asked the wizard.
Harry smiled. "Actually we were just raised by muggles."
The man nodded, before pulling out a case. "Look at these and if you see the one, point it out. If not, we can keep looking."
Harry found the perfect ring almost immediately. It was made of gold and curved into a dull point in the center of the top side. It had intricate carvings on the front, but was otherwise a very simple band.
"That's the one," he said, pointing at it.
"That is rather lovely," the man said, putting it in a small black box, which he handed to Harry. "That'll be 5 galleons."
Harry handed over the money and slipped the box into his pocket.
"Thank you," he said.
"You're very welcome," the man replied. "I wish you and your girlfriend well."
Harry and Ron walked out of the small shop and met up with Cassie and Ginny, who were yawning.
"I'm really tired," she muttered to her boyfriend. "Let's find my dads and go to bed."
They found Remus and Sirius rather quickly and the four headed back to the castle.
"Tomorrow's your birthday," Remus said when returned to their sitting room. "Is there anything special you'd like?"
Cassie shook her head. "I don't want anything big. Just the staff and my friends will be okay."
Her fathers smiled and kissed her forehead.
"Alright then," Sirius said. "We're going to head to bed. Goodnight, lovebirds."
Harry and Cassie blushed and her parents chuckled.
The next morning, Harry was in the kitchen, cooking banana chocolate chip pancakes for Hermione when Sirius and Remus walked into the room.
"Chocolate," they both groaned, Remus with a pleasured look, Sirius with a slight grimace. Sirius then bolted from the room.
"Oh god," Remus rolled his eyes before following his husband.
"What's wrong with Dad?" Cassie asked, waltzing into the room and allowing Harry to kiss her.
"I don't know," he answered honestly. "He came in, moaned about chocolate, and ran out. Remus followed him."
The two men returned.
"Okay, I think I'm good-" Sirius started. "Nope."
He dashed out of the room again, Remus following once again.
"What if he's pregnant?" Hermione asked. "Sure looks like it."
Harry smiled. "That would be brilliant. We can go out to lunch and pick up a muggle test on the way back."
Remus walked back in. "Sorry about that, sweetie. Looks like your dad picked up that stomach flu."
The younger couple smirked but agreed. They ate breakfast together, and left some for Sirius, since he would probably start feeling better soon.
Harry and Cassie had a nice lunch date, and they picked up a few pregnancy tests on the way back. They found Sirius and Remus sitting on the couch, Sirius laying his head on Remus's lap and lazily munching a leftover pancake.
"Hey Papa," Cassie said. "Hey dad. Glad to see you're feeling better."
"Yeah," Sirius said. "I must have eaten something bad yesterday. These pancakes are really good though, Harry."
"Thanks," Harry responded, blushing slightly. "We actually got something for you."
They thrust the bag of pregnancy tests into Sirius's hands and sprinted down the hallway into Harry's room, slamming the door and leaning against it.
"What is that?" they heard Remus ask and the rustling of plastic before Sirius yelled,
"OH MERLIN!"
They heard the two walking down the hallway and braced themselves, but they stopped short of Harry's room and went into the bathroom.
"You think so?" they heard Remus ask.
"I have been rather tired," Sirius responded. "And I threw up at the smell of chocolate earlier. And we had mind-blowing sex the night we found out about Cassie."
"OH MY GOD!" Cassie screamed. "TOO MUCH INFORMATION!"
"You didn't have to eavesdrop!" Remus called back.
"Shut up Papa," Hermione replied. "I've been traumatized."
"I second that!" Harry called and they heard laughter from the two men.
A few seconds later, they heard the sound of liquid on liquid and blushed, heading out to the sitting room. It was a few minutes later when they heard a timer go off, followed by a muffled shout of excitement.
"I'm guessing it was positive," Harry chuckled and Cassie grinned.
"I'm going to Floo call Poppy," she said and walked over to the fire place before kneeling down in front of it.
She leaned forward into the flames and a few moments later, the Hogwarts mediwitch came through.
"They're still in the bathroom," Harry said, chuckling slightly, though a few moments later, the two men came out, grinning widely.
Poppy motioned for Sirius to lie down on the couch.
"Let's see if this muggle test worked," she said, smiling slightly.
She waved her hand and a ring of silver mist appeared over Sirius's stomach, which quickly turned gold. Remus leaned down and kissed his husband.
"We're having a baby," Sirius said softly. "A baby, I can't believe it."
"Well, you've had one before," Poppy nodded to Cassie.
"That was nineteen years ago, Poppy," Remus responded. "Are you excited Cassie?"
"Excited?!" she exclaimed. "I'm ecstatic!"
Harry nodded enthusiastically. Poppy waved her wand around.
"I'd say you're about two weeks along," the witch said. "Which is a bit early to start showing symptoms, but it's not unheard of if the child is very powerful, or of course, there is more than one. Either could be the case, but I won't be able to tell just yet. Congratulations, you two."
The witch disappeared through the fire, leaving the four adults alone.
"Merlin," Remus said. "A baby."
Harry and Cassie chuckled.
"Cassie figured it out," Harry said, and her parents chuckled.
"Of course she did," Sirius smiled. "She was gifted with her Papa's brains."
"Speaking of gifts," Harry said as Remus flushed. "I have something for you."
He pulled the small black box out of his pocket and handed it to her. She gasped as she opened it.
"Harry-" she started, but he cut her off.
"As per muggle tradition," he said. "It's just a promise ring."
She smiled and kissed him, allowing him to slip the ring onto her left middle finger.
"What's a promise ring?" Sirius asked when the two pulled apart.
"A promise ring," Cassie said. "Is a ring that symbolizes a promise of love, a promise of commitment, and often, a promise of marriage. It's not a proposal but it indicates that when both members in a relationship are ready, a marriage proposal is bound to happen. It's a muggle tradition."
The two men looked at Harry in awe and surprise.
"Wow," Sirius said, causing Harry to blush. Remus smiled.
"I love you," Cassie told him, leaning into his shoulder. It was the first time she had said it, but she knew that he returned her feelings, so she didn't feel bad about doing so.
"I love you too," Harry replied, kissing her forehead and letting her lean into him.
Sirius and Remus got up and exited the room quietly to give the couple some privacy.
"I can't wait for them to get married," Sirius commented. "Think we can convince him to propose at Christmas?"
"I don't know, love," Remus answered. "It's weird to think that our baby girl and Harry could get married so soon. Whatever they choose to do, I'll be happy for them."
"Speaking of choosing to do things," Sirius said. "Our door is locked and there are silencing spells up."
Remus grinned wickedly. "Well then, I guess I'll have to do unspeakable things to you."
"Oh yes," Sirius moaned as Remus rolled onto him and began to kiss down his neck.
"I love you," Remus said.
"I love you too," Sirius replied.
