Chapter 61: February Moments
"Harry, we really need to talk about names," Luna said when Harry came back from Herbology.
He looked at her.
"How about naming her after my mother," Harry suggested.
Luna looked at him.
"Why should we name her after your mother my mother has a fine name."
Harry glared at her.
"I want to name her after my mother and that's final."
And he stormed out leaving Luna in tears.

"I don't understand why we've got to go to Diagon Alley to get the cribs," her mother said as they entered the Leaky Cauldron.
"Mother, I explained why were coming here," Hermione said gently. "I want them to have nice cribs that they can hand down. Anyway, at least I might be able to start remembering things while I'm here."
"Like the wedding and things like that," her mother said.
Hermione nodded and her mother felt a little better about going to a Wizarding store and not a Muggle one.
The shop that Hermione chose to go into was a shop that she had seen in her third year. She had never thought that she would even think about going in back then, but it looked like she was going in now. The shop had colors that would make Snape run away, filled with pinks and blues. When they entered they saw a sign that read:
Get your spring clothes for baby now while supplies last.
"You're going to need a couple," her mother told her.
"I guess," Hermione said slowly. "But I don't think so. I'm not having them until when?"
"June," her mother clarified.
"Yes, June," Hermione said. "I'll need summer clothes, not spring."
They went their separate ways and started looking through what the store had. True Hermione didn't know how much they would weight, but she knew that some of these clothes expanded or shortened depending on how big or little the baby was.
"How about a carriage," her mother suggested, pointing to one that had several small bears on them.
Hermione looked it over and then decided.

"I don't know why where here?" Severus told Ginny.
Ginny giggled at him.
"Because I want to pick out some clothes for baby," Ginny said. "So have you figured out a name?"
"How about Sirius," Severus suggested. "After Harry Potter's stinking godfather."
Ginny looked at him.
"But Sirius was nice."
Severus snorted at that.
"Not to me," he said.
They entered the store and were surprised to find Hermione and her mother there. She had heard that Hermione was leaving for a week to get her memory back, but she didn't expect to find her here.
"Hermione," Ginny yelled.
Hermione turned and when she saw her friend, she waved at her.
"Going baby shopping?" she said.
Hermione nodded.
"So are we," Ginny said. "Severus wants to name our son Sirius."
"Good name," Hermione said. "I haven't figured out what I'm going to call my sons yet."
Ginny grinned at her.
"I'm sure that they'll be good names."
Hermione sighed.
"I hope so.

"So where's Snape at?" Harry asked McGonagall.
She looked at him, her eyes narrowed.
"And why do you want to know where Severus is at?"
"Oh I just wanted to talk to him, that's all."
She crossed her arms and glared at him.
"I think that you need to return to your tower…now," she said, pointing to the door.
Harry turned and left.

Later that afternoon Ginny and Severus returned to the castle. Ginny was excited about all the things that she had gotten and the fact that they were new. Severus was thinking about how much money he spent. They both didn't notice Harry standing there.
"Hay, Snape, trying to prove something," he hissed.
Both of them stopped and stared at him.
"And what do you want, Potter?" Severus said.
He pulled out a knife and charged at him. Ginny screamed and Severus pulled out his wand and with another bang, Harry was changed back into a chipmunk.

"I can't believe he tried to attack Severus again," Professor McGonagall said when Ginny had reported what had happened.
Dumbledore shook his head. He was going to have to figure something out and soon. He looked out the window and then listened as the clock struck midnight. February had finally arrived.

Note: Well you can say something about Harry, he's determined. Next chapter: Hermione remembers something about her married life, Alanna and Jeff have a serious talk with Remus, and Voldemort's spell goes wrong and brings someone back.
