Chapter 10 - Names

A month has passed since the incident in the Great Hall. Hermione and Ginny were given the cold shoulder by their fellow male Gryffindors. The females however, were excited and some were even jealous that they slept with two of the hottest guys at school. The latter fact didn't exactly cheer them up though. Wherever they went, they were bombarded with questions and insults from other students from all houses except Slytherin. The Slytherins just pretended that nothing was wrong, but Hermione had a suspicion that her uncle had something to do with it.

During meals, Hermione and Ginny would sit at the Slytherin table with Draco and Blaise to be away from the annoying questions and the insults. At first, the Slytherins protested, but one glare from Snape and they immediately shut up.

One day in the common room when Hermione and Draco were just sitting on the couch enjoying each other's comfort, Hermione mentioned about what to name the babies.

"How about Draco Jr. for the boy?" asked Draco.

"I think one Draco is enough dear," replied Hermione.

"How about Trevor?" Hermione asked.

"No way am I going to name my son after Longbottom's toad."

"I wasn't thinking about Neville's toad. I just like the name Trevor."

They sat there for awhile until Draco thought of a name.

"I got it, how about Severus Jullian Malfoy for the boy and Allison Christine Malfoy for the girl?"

"I like the names Draco, but who said they would be Malfoys?"

"Come on Hermione, pleaseeeee," begged Draco.

After a minute of listening to Draco beg, Hermione gave in. "Oh all right, you can stop acting like a little kid now."

"I'm not acting like a little kid," said Draco who was now pouting.

Hermione chuckled at Draco's expression. "What's so funny?"

"You face. You look so cute when you pout."

"Don't I always look cute?"

"Don't be so full of yourself dear." And with that Hermione kissed Draco's forehead and got up to go to her room.

"Where are you going?" asked Draco.

"I'm going to do my homework."

"It's not due till next month. You can do it later."

"Unlike some people, I like to finish my homework and get it over with." Without waiting for Draco to respond, Hermione went to her room.

When it was almost time for dinner, Hermione walked down to the common room. She saw Blaise, Ginny, and Draco talking. She went up to Draco and took a seat next to him.

"What are you guys talking about?" Hermione asked.

"Draco was just giving us name suggestions for the baby," replied Blaise.

"I told them to name her after me, but they wouldn't listen," said Draco.

Hermione chuckled.

"We are not naming our daughter after you Draco and thats that," said Ginny.

"How about Rhia Kylie?" asked Hermione.

"I like it," said Ginny right after Hermione suggested the name.

"Rhia Kylie Zabini," said Blaise.

"Sounds good to me," said Ginny.

"How come you don't mind them being Zabini? I had to beg Hermione to let them be Malfoys." said Draco.

Blaise chuckled.

"There's already enough Weasleys" was all Ginny said before they went down to the Great Hall for dinner.

------------------------------

When they were finished with dinner, they got up and left the Great Hall. They reached the entrance to the head common room and saw Harry and Ron pacing in front of the portrait.

"What do you want Potter?" sneered Draco.

"We want to talk to Hermione and Ginny," replied Harry.

"What do you guys want?" asked Ginny. "Are you both here to insult us like the rest of the school?"

"Hermione, Ginny...we...just-" Ron started, but was interrupted by Harry.

"We just wanted to say we're sorry for acting like pricks," blurted Harry.

Hermione, the ever forgiving person, forgave them. "I forgive you," she said.

"Ginny?" asked Ron.

Ginny sighed and said, "I forgive you guys too, It's been quite lonely with only Blaise, Draco and Hermione as company," she joked.

"Do you guys want to come in?" asked Hermione.

"Nah," said Harry, "we should get back to Gryffindor tower. It's almost curfew and I don't want detention." He shuddered at the memory of his last detention with Filch.

"We'll see you guys tomorrow," said Ginny.

And with that they went their separate ways.
