Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter! J.K. Rowling does! I'll keep wishing though...
Hey guys! I wrote this one-shot just as a cute story to add a little something extra for my other stories. I'm working on them now ;) so stay tuned! Hope you enjoy!
The Weasleys and Potters sat down for Sunday night dinner at The Burrow. Molly loved being able to cook large meals for her big family. As she put down a dish of mashed potatoes and sat down, she had an idea! As her face lit up she spoke to her kids, "I had a great idea dears! You should name your houses!"
Her sons and Harry looked confused. Ginny rolled her eyes at their simplemindedness and said, "Like how this is 'The Burrow.' I like that! Our house is already named 'Potter Manor' though, so we'll stick with that." Everyone nodded.
"Our house is already named too, and I like 'Shell Cottage' it fits the house well," Bill stated.
"I remember when we first walked into our house 'Mione described it as 'exquisite.' How about," Ron put his hands in the air and made a rainbow motion for emphasis. "'Exquisite Estates.'"
Hermione laughed and nodded, "It was a good descriptor! Don't make fun just because you never would've been able to think of it."
"I could've!" Ron fought back defensively. "I was just…uh…speechless at the time."
Hermione rolled her eyes at this. "Don't lie Ronald. I've been doing your homework since first year."
Ron changed the conversation, "What name are thinking about Perce?"
"I like the 'Happy Homestead' for our place," Percy stated. "Audrey?"
Even though she and Percy had similar personalities, Audrey laughed at his cheesiness. "Sure honey."
"I bet I can come up with the best name out of all of you," George bragged. "Hmmm," he said as he racked his brain. "How about… 'The Jubilee?'"
Angelina nodded at his smiling face. "Perfect," she giggled at her husband.
Molly beamed at Arthur, then her children. Even though not all of them were her children, she treated them as so. They got along great. Well, when they weren't teasing each other. "That's wonderful dears!" she gushed.
"So to make sure I'm correct," Arthur started. "Restate your house names. Our is 'The Burrow' obviously."
"'Potter Manor!' It sounds so grand and elegant," Harry laughed.
Fleur joined in, "'Shell Cottage, the original name.'"
"Our house is 'Exquisite Estates,'" Hermione chimed in.
"'The Jubilee,'" Angelina stated. "Nice word by the way George!" He looked pleased.
"The 'Happy Homestead' for our house!" Audrey giggled again. "Great names all around! Cheers!"
As their glasses clinked, they smiled. They were thankful for each other. They had gone through, and survived, a lot. There was still more to look forward to in the future like children and even more magical memories. But for now, all that mattered was family. Well, that and Molly's delicious cooking.
