Hogwarts 1997
Harry sat listening to Sirius and Remus talking about what they knew about Hermione. It was nice to know they, and his parents had taken Hermione under their wing.
"Apparently," said Sirius. "According to Lily, who told us about this just before you were born, Hermione spoke very highly of you."
Harry smiled sadly at this. "That's what best friends do," he said quietly.
"You know what Pads, I've just realized something." Remus said with a thoughtful expression.
His friend raised an eyebrow in question.
"Lily said she wanted to name the baby Hermione, right? If it was a girl."
"Which he obviously isn't, Moony."
"That's not my point, I think Lily did something for her missing friend by naming the baby after Hermione's best friend."
Sirius' eyes grew wide at this, "So," he hooted trying to control the bubbling laughter, "Harry here is named after himself!" With this statement the Animagus began to laugh his bark like laugh unable to hold it in anymore.
Remus nodded, a wide grin present on his face also.
"Well that's just wrong," said Harry screwing up his face. "I've been thinking about something anyway," he said trying to get off that particular topic. "What about the Map? Surely Hermione's real name would have appeared on that?" He asked.
"We didn't have the map in seventh year," said Sirius. "It got confiscated at the end of our sixth year," he explained.
"Oh," said Harry, not realizing his uncanny ability to mimic his parents at times. He then stared accusingly at his godfather, "What's up with you and staying up with her, did you like her?"
Sirius just smiled at his godson. "All in good time Harry, all in good time."
