Fifteen

Six hours later Ginny sighed holding the tiny bungle in her arms. Harry gently pushed her hair back from her face as he kissed her cheek looking into the blankets. The baby blinked bright blue eyes at them as slowly they closed. A tuff of red hair poked through the top of the head.

"Ten fingers and ten toes. He's perfect Gin."

"I know. And the healer said his eyes will probably change colour in a couple of days. I hope they turn green."

"Nah he should have brown eyes like his mum."

"He's got my hair; he has to have your eyes!"

"He gets his hair from me too Gin. Can't you see that it's already sticking up, Potter genes at their best."

She giggled gently as she stroked the baby's hair down.

"Don't bother it's a lost battle. Trust me."

She looked at Harry a smile on her face.

"You manage to defeat the worst wizard of an age and yet you can't manage your hair!"

"Well that's one thing that our son will have in common with his old man. Hair that always looks like you've just gotten off your broom."

She grinned leaning up to kiss Harry. His arms wrapped around her as they looked at the baby again.

"He's tiny Gin."

"Didn't feel that way though."

Harry made a sound somewhere in between a laugh and a sigh.

"I'm glad we did this Harry."

"I still wish you had told me. But … I don't think I'd change that if this would always be the outcome."

"We need to think up a name for him you know."

"Hmm I've been thinking about that."

"Oh really."

"Yes, I was thinking that maybe we could name our baby after somebody that we lost."

She turned to look at him.

"Remus and Tonks already named their son Sirius. You can't name him the same thing."

"I wasn't planning on it."

"Oh what then?"

"Arthur."

"After my dad?"

"No after mine!"

She slugged him gently with her elbow. Looking back at the baby though she frowned.

"He doesn't look like an Arthur though."

"Well who do you think he looks like then?"

"A Trevor."

"We are not naming our son after Neville's toad!"

"Oh I'd forgotten about that."

She made a little face. Before speaking again.

"I like the name James you know."

"James Arthur Potter?"

Ginny gave a tiny little smile and looked at Harry.

"James Arthur Fredrick George Sirius Albus Potter!"

"Gin what a mouthful!"

"Well you said we should name the baby after someone we lost."

"Yes and I meant your dad."

"But we lost your dad, my dad, Fred, George, Sirius and Dumbledore!"

"But think of the poor boy trying to write that down. If we're going to give him a middle name surely it should only be one name, like mine is James and yours is Molly."

"Yes but Dumbledore had four names, he was Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore."

"Yes but you want to give him six names."

"Why not? If you're giving four names why not six!"

"Ginny you can't be serious."

"If it was a girl I would have named her Lily Molly Luna Potter. So why can't we name a boy James Arthur Fredrick George Sirius Albus Potter?"

"I'm not having this conversation Gin."

"Yes you are!"

"Look how about we agree on the first name and sort out middle names later?"

"Fine. I want James."

"Are you sure Gin?"

"It's a family Harry. Come on it was your dad's name; it's your name so of course it has to be our sons name too."

The door opened and they turned to see Holly and Charlotte come running in. Harry got up and hugged them both.

"Do you want to see your new brother?"

They both nodded and Harry put them gently on the bed. Charlotte looked closely at the small boy.

"What's his name?"

"James."

Holly grinned and reached to take a tiny hand.

"Hello Jamie I'm your big sister Holly and this is Charlotte. But don't worry you have a brother too Gavin. You'll meet him soon enough though."

Ginny and Harry smiled gently at each other. Little Jamie Potter. She couldn't stop smiling. This was just the most perfect thing in the world. Another Potter, just what the world needed.

THE END


I know this is a pretty short story. But it was hard to write. Although once I started it practically wrote itself. I hope that you liked it and here ends my Harry and Ginny trilogy of Just Old Friends, Finally Potter and Life is a Surprise

So thanks to everyone for taking the time to read and review and I hope your as happy with the outcome as I am.
