What's in a name?

            At St-Mungo's hospital a family was awaiting the arrival of their newest member.   A 5 year old Percy was sitting in the waiting room, deeply engrossed into a book. And Arthur, the proud father-to-be (for the 5th time), was pulled out of the Ministry for the day. He presently had his hands full with 3 year old twins.

            It was about 11:58 pm on March 1st when the nurse came out to see the family. The boys were asleep but Arthur was pacing the room.

"M. Weasley? You have a healthy baby boy!"

"That's wonderful!" he exclaimed, forgetting his hopes for a girl. "Can I-?"

"But," the nurse cut in," There's another on the way."

            Arthur slumped down on the chair, barely missing one of the twins. Another set of twins? God knew he loved his family and wouldn't change it for the world, but… how could he afford it? The thought was pushed from his mind when the nurse re-appeared shortly after Midnight.

"M. Weasley! You have a girl! A beautiful baby girl!"

            Arthur was overjoyed.

"May I?" The nurse understood and nodded, she looked after the sleeping boys as he sped down the hall to his wife's rooms.

"Arthur, come and see." Called molly from the bed. " what a wonderful night! Both a handsome boy and our baby girl!"

            He just stared at the seen with a goofy, stupefied smile on his face. There, was his loving wife, a healthy baby boy and a beautiful baby girl.

            The doctor told him that she needed to rest and showed him out. Immediately, Arthur owled his two other sons that were at Hogwarts.

            The next day, Bill and Charlie were allowed to go see their new brother and sister. The family could never have been happier.

"Now, we've already decided that he should be Ronald. Ron for short." Explained Molly. " But what shall we name your sister? Boys, have you a name? We wanted to call her Ginny, but she just doesn't 'feel' like one."

            Just then, the baby girl opened her eyes. Two big, bright green eyes looked out at the new world. Percy took out his book ' Minerals of the Magic Mines'.

"Look," he said pointing at a picture in the book. "it's a beryl, they're the same colour as her eyes."

"Beryl…" Said Arthur, as if trying to guess the flavour of a mystery bean.

"I love it." Said Molly.

            After a while, Arthur and the boys left the room so that their mother and baby siblings could rest.

"Happy belated birthday Ron and Beryl." Whispered Percy over his shoulder.
