When Harry turns twenty-six, he finds himself both right and wrong about his prediction for his twenty-sixth birthday.

He still doesn't have Louis back, but Niall, Liam and Zayn insist they meet up for dinner and drinks.

The band never officially broke up, but they certainly didn't recover from Harry and Louis' untimely breakup. No plans for another album or tour in the horizon, it was like they'd just dropped off the radar.

And Harry didn't even care.

"You need to eat more Harry," Liam lectures, the second he wrapped Harry in a hug and Harry groans, leading the way into a restaurant where he eats more than he has eaten at a meal, since his breakup with Louis two years ago.

Niall orders a piece of chocolate cake for Harry, while Harry is in the restroom, and when he returns everyone is clapping and cheering for him to blow out the single candle that is crooked in the cake.

He makes the same wish.
