The Future Hero of the Wizarding World
by emblah01
"What about Harold?"
"Ugh, no. That makes it sound like I'll give birth to middle-aged man."
"Well, what do you think, then? I haven't heard a suggestion from you, fair lady, in while."
"Whatever… What about Casper?"
"Isn't that a Muggle program about a ghost?"
"Oh yeah… Don't you have some sort of unique wizard name that comes from your family or something?"
"Yeah, but they're all so weird."
"Oh come on, James. They can't be that bad."
"Okay, there's Octavius, or Radley, or Roux…"
"There was someone in your family named Octavius Potter?"
"I didn't name him, now did I? The Potters are an old wizarding family; of course there're going to be some odd names here and there."
"Pfft."
"Come off it, Lils. You've got to have some old names in your family. We're running out of time, love!"
"James, the baby isn't going to be born for another three months, calm down."
"Either way, we still need a name. We can't just call him 'Child Number One' for the rest of his life… Hey! What about Sirius?"
"We are not naming our son after your slutty friend."
"Sirius isn't a slut!"
"Oh, yes he is. When we were in school, he shagged half the castle. I'm beginning to wonder if he even shagged you, what with the attachment you two have."
"Don't be ridiculous, love. You know it was Remus and Sirius who had the affair. I was far too much gone in your lovely green eyes to even notice Padfoot's brown ones… Though, he most likely did make a move on me at one point."
"I'm sure."
"Hello?"
"Hey, Padfoot, we were just talking about you!"
"All good things, I suppose? Hello, Lily. How are you?"
"Hi, I'm doing fine. Feeling bloated but fine."
"Come off it, dear. You look lovely."
"I now remember why I married you."
"Oh, and why's that?"
"For the moments you aren't a prat."
"I see."
"So what are you two lovebirds up to? All PG rated, I suppose?"
"Trying to figure out baby names."
"A treacherous task, I'm sure."
"It's proving to be a lot more difficult than I originally planned. Have you any ideas?"
"Harold?"
"That's what I suggested!"
"And it's even dumber coming from you, Sirius. I will not name my son a middle-aged man's name!"
"Merlin, woman. No need to get so heated over it. 'Twas just a suggestion."
"Well, suggest another one, then!"
"How about… Harry?"
"Harry?"
"Yeah."
"Harry Potter… Has a nice ring to it, don't you think, Lily?"
"I like it. Good one, Padfoot."
"Just imagine it: Harry Potter, future hero of the wizarding world!"
"Oh come off it, Padfoot. What are the chances of that happening?"
Just a little plot bunny I had in my head for a while. Thoughts? Perhaps leave me a review of them down below! I would really appreciate it!
And to clarify, I don't own Harry Potter. The rights to such belong to my Queen Rowling.
