Sol: This is another result of my self-imposed sleep deprivation. The things I do for you people. Anyway, the inspiration for this was my uncle's infamous, (in my family,) response to being told he was about to get a baby sister, (my mum,) and what should she be called. James' response is exactly what my uncle said to my grandma, at the grand age of 4. Enjoy!
Genre: Humour/Family
James S Potter PoV.
"HARRY! HARRY JAMES POTTER!"
"What's wrong Ginny? Where's the fire?"
"There's no fire, Mr Potter, but I need you, James and Al in the living room now!"
As soon as I heard my name, I dropped my 'Dueling Demons' model toys into their 'magical portal' box and threw open my bedroom door.
"What Mummy?"
"James darling, go down to the living room now please, I'll be there in a moment." Aw, come on, did she have to treat me like a complete baby? I'm coming on five soon!
"Sure Mummy, why?"
"Just go, I'll tell you when everyone is ready." Fine, I'm going. I hurtled down the stairs, leaping for the closing living room door and grinning at the crash it made when I hit it.
"Good grief James, I think you just gave me a heart attack!" That's Daddy, pretending to be easily hurt and scared. I could always tell when it was real and when it wasn't.
"Okay, sit down James, Harry, and pass me Al." Al is really Albus, my little brother. He was 'cute' at three, or so the aunts and others said, at least. He would turn four soon.
"I have an announcement to make. Boys, I'm pregnant." Silence. Wait. My Mummy, my Mummy, was about to have another child. I was going to get a little brother! Or sister! Finally, someone else to play with! Al slept way too much, so this was great news.
"YIPPEE!" I shouted. Al grinned and Daddy looked stunned, but happy, as though someone had hit him with a bludger just after he had caught the Snitch.
"One more thing. James, Al, you're getting a baby sister. What shall we call her?" Wowee! A baby sister! Hmmm... Well, I really, really like...
"I think Winegum is a very nice name."
