Once everyone had eaten the introductions continued, starting with a little boy who was undoubtedly Harry's. A Clone in every sense of the word, the boy had the same untameable Jet-black hair with penetrating emerald eyes, surrounded by circular slightly lopsided glasses.
"I'm Al Potter" he said, a slight stammer in his voice.
"Tell them your real name Al," James said as he stepped back out of the line to stand next to his younger brother.
"But it's awful" Al complained with a slight whine in his voice.
"It's not that bad Al besides Uncle Harry said you're named after the smartest and the bravest men he's ever known." Rose put in sending her favourite cousin a comforting smile.
"It can't be that bad of a name, my parents named me Nymphadora after all. I'm sure Harry and Ginny didn't give you a worse name than mine," Tonks told Al as Harry and Ginny blushed at the reminder of their future relationship.
"Albus Severus Potter," he muttered quickly making people blink, surely, they hadn't heard it right he couldn't possibly be called, could he?
"What did you say?" Ginny asked unsurely an iron clad hold on the edge of the table in front of her.
He gulped under the scrutinizing looks, some looked hopeful that he hadn't said what he'd said, that they had simply misheard him. He wasn't stupid he knew that most of the people in the room hated one of his namesakes and James just had to cause trouble didn't he telling him to say his real name.
Seeing that Al was deep in thought James decided to confirm everyone's suspicions of what he was called. "His name is Albus Severus Potter!" His announcement was met by stunned silence until …
"What the bloody Hell were you thinking, naming him after that greasy git? Ron demanded of Harry and Ginny whist pointing at Snape.
"RONALD WEASLY HOW DARE YOU SPEAK SO DISRESPECTFULLY TOWARDS A PROFESSOR, APOLOGISE AT ONCE!" Mrs Weasley screamed whilst Harry and Ginny stuttered out something about it not happening yet and that they must have lost their minds with age.
Whilst everyone was fretting over the child been named after him Snape was thinking what it signified. For Potter to name one of his brats after him he must have learned to trust him and the only way, he would trust him would be if he had learnt about his feelings for Lily. The only way Snape would ever reveal his memories to Potter would be if he were dying, meaning he was dead in the future.
"SILENCE" Victoire screamed over the noise of the people from the past. The room fell silent instantly, all eyes upon her.
"Good now listen up, Albus is named after two of the finest headmasters Hogwarts has ever known one of which is the smartest man any of you will ever know the other the bravest. Severus Snape is the bravest man there has ever been and one day you will all know why but until then let us continue with the introductions Albus is 5 like Rose and you know his parents so let's move onto Lav shall we. Victoire said glaring at everyone to make sure they listened.
