Percy Weasley had just finished reading a book.
The book was titled The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
Percy would never have read anything from the fantasy genre during his days as a Hogwarts student when he only read either academic works or books, be they fiction or nonfiction, that portrayed life completely realistically.
But ever since becoming a father to his first daughter, Molly, who he had named after his mother, he'd become a bit softer and less rigid and with a child who would be talking, walking, and hearing stories before he knew it, he thought it a good idea to get his feet wet in the fantasy genre.
He knew that The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was one of the most famous fantasy stories in existence and he had a good gut feeling it would be a good book to dip his feet into the pool of the fantasy genre.
He had enjoyed the story immensely and looked forward to sharing it with his daughter one day.
No. Not daughter. Daughters. He had a second daughter coming in a few weeks and now he knew just what he was going to name her.
He was going to name her Lucy.
Lucy, after Lucy Pevensie, his favorite character from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
Percy had really respected Lucy's character.
One thing that really stood out to Percy about Lucy's character was that she did what was right rather than what was easy.
Percy thought about how Susan had wanted to go home after they'd discovered that Tumnus had been arrested and how Lucy had refused to leave Narnia and insisted that they had to stay and try to help him. Percy thought about the responsibly Lucy had felt to help Tumnus after she'd realized he gotten into trouble after helping her.
This also showed that Lucy was a loyal, friend. In fact. after reading The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Percy was convinced that if Lucy had gone to Hogwarts that she would have been a Hufflepuff.
Then there was the fact that Lucy was innately kind. That, more than anything, was the trait he had hoped his daughters would develop. He truly hoped his daughters would be nothing like the stodgy bossy person he'd been in his childhood and adolescence. Percy deeply hoped his daughters would be defined by traits such as friendship and kindness. Naming his daughter Lucy felt like a good omen for this.
Percy also admired Lucy's high forgiveness coefficient. Percy thought back to when Aslan had returned Edmund to his siblings after his betrayal and how all of them had forgiven Edmund rather than hold a grudge against him.
To Percy, Lucy Pevensie represented all the best parts of humanity: kindness, loyalty, forgiveness, faithfulness, and above all, doing the right thing.
In naming his daughter after Lucy, Percy was paying homage to a character who had displayed the best side of people,
In giving his daughter the name of Lucy, Percy was both honoring a character he had admired and expressing his hope into the type of person she'd become.
Percy hoped that someday, Lucy Weasley would develop into the same type of person that Lucy Pevensie had been.
