Baby Joy for Potter Family?
A new additional to wizarding royalty.
Report by Gossip Correspondent Rita Skeeter
Heroic, brave, troubled? These are just a selection of the words that have been used to describe the boy who lived. Twice! A lot of pressure for any young (or in this case not so young anymore) wizard to cope with. To all outwardly appearances, Harry Potter has coped remarkably under the ever judgemental eyes of his adoring fans.
It was confirmed today that Ginevra Potter is expecting her third child. Or rather the illustrious couple – who could no longer pretend that Mrs Potter was simply gaining weight due to one to many pumpkin pasties – nodded in response when asked if Ginevra was indeed pregnant. A fact that many witches and wizards have been speculating for a long time now.
A dramatic increase in the size of chosen one's spouse would of course come as no surprise to any of the couple's most dotting fans. She gave up on what some of my colleagues at the Daily Prophet insist was a successful Quidditch career almost five years ago due to a desire to be "fully committed to my family." Many have since speculated that the boy who lived asked his wife to quit, fearing his wife's fame may eclipse his own.
The new Potter baby will be a younger sibling to James Sirius and Albus Severus both of whom appear to, like their mother, be denied the opportunity to share the spotlight with their father, they rarely make appearances at public events. Is the chosen one truly that self-obsessed? Both Sons are named after important figures in their father's life and so bets are on for what the new baby's name will be. (Bets can be placed with Ludo Bagman.)
Perhaps Potter will finally allow his wife to have a say in what their child's name will be. Or will he will he name their baby after his best friends and power couple Ronald and Hermione Weasley (surely fighting alongside you in the destruction of Horcruxes earns you that right.) That said, it has been my own observation that Hermione "know it all" Weasley and the boy who lived have been steadily growing apart since the battle of Hogwarts – she was quick to return to Hogwarts without him or her future husband. Maybe things have been tense since romance began between know it all and the ginger sidekick. Potter of course did have a tragic romance with the then Hermione Granger, as reported by a ravishing, world renowned reported during the Triwizard tournament.
However Potter himself may have no say over the child's name. It is yet to be confirmed that he is indeed the father.
A/N Hi Thank you for reading. A review, if you've got time, would be great. I took inspiration for this after seeing the birth of Princess Charlotte in the news everywhere and after rereading the daily prophet articles on Pottermore. I would love to see more from Rita Skeeter on there but for now I'm making do. I plan to add to this from time to time whenever an idea strikes me so if you have any requests let me know.
Thank you again TheFandomAvenger xx
