Chapter / List Seven:
Godparents
1) The first time Sirius Black ever cried in front of another human being was when James asked him to be Harry's godfather.
It was a "manly" cry: red cheeks, swollen eyes, a few shallow teardrops and a half-hug while thumping James on the back (best-guy-friend speak for "I'm honored").
James vowed to make Remus the godfather if Sirius was going to be so "girlie" about it.
2) Kreacher nearly cried his frail old body bone-dry when Hermione placed his goddaughter, Rose Weasley, in his lap.
When Rosie grew up, he rode around on her shoulders, using her frizzy red hair like reins.
When Kreacher died, he willed his most precious belonging to her: Regulus Black's locket.
3) Bill figured that if Charlie could handle dragons, he could handle Victoire, Dominique and Louis.
Charlie disagreed. He definitely preferred dragons, but accepted the honor of godfather anyway.
4) When Teddy Lupin's godfather, Harry, first changed the baby's diaper, he found out that Megamagi can change more than the color of their hair…
5) The first word Lucy Weasley said was "Hermy!"
She called her godmother, Hermione, "Hermy" for the rest of her life. All of Hermione's nieces and nephews did.
6) James Sirius Potter's godfather was Hagrid. He loved to climb the half-giant's limbs like a tree. He lost his first tooth in a rock cake. His first stuffed animal was a dragon sewn from one of Hagrid's old shirts.
When he was a teenager he rolled his eyes every time Hagrid started a story with "And one time, yer dad…"
But, in truth, he loved the stories. He never got tired of them.
7) Albus Severus' godmother, Luna, liked to take him on "Snorkack Safaris." They would crawl through knee-high field grass with goggles glued to their foreheads.
Al cried when his father told him there was no such thing as a "Wompleherder."
8) Hugo Weasley learned about his dad's fear of spiders from his aunt / godmother, Ginny.
Poor Ron woke up one morning with a tarantula on his nose.
9) Percy Weasley's daughters, Molly and Lucy, were very jealous of his godson, Fred.
Percy let Fred get away with anything.
10) Dean Thomas' godsons, Lorcan and Lysander, were as cute as their mother but not nearly as weird.
11) To Harry and Ginny's chagrin, Lily Luna Potter was more interested in mandrakes, seaweed and cacti than Quidditch.
"Uncle" Neville was to blame.
12) Angelina didn't let George teach Roxanne any tricks or pranks, like how to tie a gnome's ears together.
Uncle Ron became Roxie's teacher.
13) George took advantage of little Molly Weasley's Percy-ness. At age 10 she was practically in charge of the accounting at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.
She was a serious little girl. She didn't laugh very often but when she did, it was because of her godfather.
