Chapter 25Baby names Part I
As Lily pulled Cate out of the room she thought, I can't believe Bethie was dead. And poor William, Remus and Beth's son, he would same age as the kids here. They entered Emilie and Ron's apartments.
"Bethie is dead oh Merlin, Lily I just can't believe it." She said with tears in her eyes.
"I know when Remus told me he looked so sad. And William wouldn't he of been Emmy and Harry's age by now?" Lily asked.
"Question, Mom, who is Bethie and who is William?" Emilie asked confused, as did Ginny and Hermione.
"Bethie or Lizabeth 'Beth' Davenport was Remus's wife and William was their son. She was also our best friend at school. We were always together. Molly was a few years older and out of school by the time we became friends." Lily told the girls as the women all sat down.
"We were all in the Order of the Phoenix together too. Remus, Beth, James, Lily, Sirius, Peter, and I all were in the order. Oh I never liked him he was just nasty. The little Rat ratted us all out." Cate said frowning. Hermione, Ginny, and Lily laughed. Emilie looked confused.
"Hold on. Harry I think needs to hear this too. Let me get him." She said walking to the door.
"Wait Emmy. The guys will tell him all about Beth and William. We want to finish the story." Her mother said. Cate nodded. Molly told Hermione that she needed to round up her crew to leave and she wanted to see all of them at dinner.
"Come on Ginny. Time to go."
"Molly, Ginny can come with us when Ron and I come tonight. If that's all right?"
"Of course it is Emilie dear, never mind Ginny you can stay here. Just be there at 5:30 to help with dinner."
"Yes, Ma we'll be there." Ginny said as her mother left.
"Hey, Mom, question, how did you come up with my and Harry's name?" Emilie asked curiously.
Well, dear you are named from both your father and my grandmothers, Emilie Potter was your father's favorite grandmother, and Rae is from Victoria Rae Evans my favorite grandmother, I determined that I wouldn't put the name Victoria on you. You would be miserable. So Emilie Rae was decided by both of us. As for Harry, his name was kind of a joke between James and me. James wanted to name him James Jr. but I wouldn't allow it. So I gave him a baby name book and told him to pick out a name that he liked. So he opened the book to the H's and closed his eyes and pointed to the name Harold. ' Let's call him Harry James Potter. Has a nice ring to it doesn't it Lils?' Harry James Potter and Emilie Rae Potter were born the next day. Coincidence I think not." Lily said as the women laughed.
"Ok Catie, what the hell is going on here with Sirius? What happened when he found out about Hermione? Did he flip?"
Yea he did Lils he started ranting and raving, and used some of the Gaelic swear words I taught him in there as well. It was so sad wasn't it girls?" Cate asked. Emilie and Hermione nodded.
"Mom you should of seen him. In all the years I have know him, I have never seen Sirius act like that. Ron, Harry, and I, went into the kitchen to give Cate, Hermione and Sirius time to talk things out. When he came into the kitchen he was in a daze. I was so worried." Emilie said.
"He would do that too. After Catie told him she never wanted to talk to him again," Cate looked at Lily, "James told me this years later, he went and asked the first fifth year girl out just to spite Catie. It was a Ravenclaw, her name was Callie Somethingorother."
"Callie Gadworth! Remus told me when I went to put the fear of Caitlin Wilding into him when he started to go out with Beth."
"So that was where you went that day. After all these years Catie you remember her name? Good God if I remember all the women James dated before we started to I'd be a mental case. All I know was you were one of the women."
"You dated Daddy, Caitlin?" Emilie asked stunned.
"For about a year. Then he started dating Lily in 7th year. It was a mistake; I knew that James and Lily had to be together. I was the one that broke it off. Lily had confided to me that she had fallen in love with James. Besides after we broke up I started going out with CJ Longacre a Hufflepuff.
"CJ was a donkey. He beat her. That lasted two months and James beat CJ when I told him. He said he did it for Catie. When Sirius found out about that at my wedding he wanted to go thrash CJ. I told him that CJ wasn't worth the beating." Lily said. Cate and Lily were laughing so hard they had tears in their eyex
"Donkey? What's with that choice in words again?" The men had come into the living room. James had spoken.
"Oh… (Ha)… we were talking about CJ Longacre." Cate said as Sirius sat down next to her. She was still laughing. The others sat down on the empty chairs.
"Longacre! That Donkey ass. Caty can I kill him please?" Sirius asked with impish grin.
"What's the deal with 'donkey'?" Harry asked looking at his family.
" Your godmother called me that repeatedly our fifth year. It was another word for ass." Sirius said laughing at the memory.
Later that night in Ron and Emilie's bedroom,
"Ron I know what I want to name the babies." Emilie said.
