"What should we name him?" Draco asked Ginny.

Ginny looked up from her studying, they were in the library. "Him?"

"Well it's going to be a boy." Draco said firmly.

Ginny raised an eyebrow, "A boy? Oh really. It's going to be a girl Draco."

"A boy." He replied.

Ginny glared at him.

"And don't look at me like that."

Ginny threw her books in her bookbag, "It's going to be a girl, so there." She said sticking out her tounge.

Draco winked at her, "A boy." She screamed one of those frusterated screams and fled the library. Draco followed her carrying her things. He found her in the Great Hall talking to Hermione with an annoyed look on her face.

"He insists it's a boy but I know it's a girl. I mean it is inside of me." Ginny explained to Hermione.

"We need to think of names." Draco said sitting next to Ginny, "Boy and Girl names, just in case your right."

"I promised Landrak we'd name it after him." Ginny said trying to annoy him.

Draco nodded, "Not the first one, maybe the second, I don't really like the name Landrak."

"Second?" Hermione said.

Draco looked at her, "Maybe in a year or two."

"Evelyn." Ginny said, "If it's a girl it will be named Evelyn."

Draco looked over at Evie who was laughing and joking with the other second year Slytherins, "Okay," he smiled, "Which reminds me, I haven't talked to that girl in a while!"

"Now for the boy's name." Ginny prompted Draco.

"Draco," he said.

"No, I don't want to have to yell Draco junior or give him some stupid nickname." Ginny countered.

"Edward." Draco stared at Ginny expectantly.

Ginny scrunched up her nose, "Well... okay."

"Good, Evelyn and Edward." Draco affirmed the names.

"Now test the temperature of the milk." Mrs. Weasley instructed. "It can't be too hot or too cold."

"How do I test it?" Sirius asked holding a bottle akwardly.

"Squeeze a few drops on your wrist." Snape said absentmindedly.

"Oh so you do know how to do this." Mrs. Weasley said happily.

Snape nodded his face blankly staring at the bottle, "I had a son once, Voldemort killed him." Snape tested the bottle, "If things go alright at the adoption agency... Draco should be legally my son."

"Oh, Servus, that's horrible." Mrs. Weasley said.

Snape looked at her thankfully, "Yes it is. But at least I get a chance to hold a baby again." He had improved his demeaner in the past few weeks.

Sirius sighed and tested the bottle, "ACK!" He ran to the sink and turned on the cold water. Snape smiled, his demeaner hadn't improved that much.

"Now Draco." Mr. Weasley said finally getting the boy alone, "I'm happy for you and Ginny, but couldn't you have waited until after the wedding to get her pregnant?"

"It was my idea daddy." Ginny said standing behind Draco, "I forced him. You could call it rape."

Mr. Weasley sighed, "Your mother did the same thing." He walked away shaking with laughter.

"Who will the godparents be?" Ginny asked.

Draco smiled, "Ron and..."

"Evie!" Ginny smiled and kissed him on the nose, "I'll go tell her. Wait did you say Ron?" Draco nodded, she ran back to him and hugged him, "Good Dragon." She ran off again.

"Names Harry," Hermione said leaning over a piece of parchment.

Harry sighed, "I want to wait until I see the baby." He turned back to his chess match with Ron, "I want to see what he/she looks like."

"Just give me some ideas." Hermione pressed.

"James." Harry supplied moving his pawn.

"Lily." Ron added.

"Sirius." Hermione said giggling.

"Remus." Ron smiled.

"Peter." Harry watched both of his friends faces. "Yes I think Peter would be a grand name," Hermione gasped. "I'm lying," Harry said flatly. Ron chortled. (I do so love chortiling.)

"Aphrodite." Ginny walked by and sat next to Hermione, "Godess of love."

Hermione processed the name for a moment, "Maybe."

"Aphrodite??" Ron questioned ordering his rook to take Harry's knight.
