This chapter is dedicated to Expecto Patronum14. Who tried to help me with Fleur's accent. However, I am grateful to everyone else who reviewed and I'm going to try putting manes net to dialogue in this chapter. So here are Bill and Fleur deciding what to name Dominique.
Bill: Victoire is asleep.
Fleur: Good.
Bill: What do you wanna do?
Fleur: Bill Weasley, what are you suggesting by wiggling your eye brows at me in zat manner?
Bill: I love you accent.
Fleur: Yes, well, every body does.
Bill: Not as much as me.
Fleur: Zis is true.
Bill: Anyways, what did you have in mind?
Fleur: Well I thought we could choose a name. For zee baby.
Bill: Ralph
Fleur: Bill! C'est une fille!
Bill: I was kidding, honey.
Fleur: Even if zee baby were a boy, we would not name him 'Ralph'.
Bill: And why not?
Fleur: I do not like it.
Bill: Well anyway, since we're having a girl… forget the name Ralph.
Fleur: I already 'ave.
Bill: Okay… how about Sarah?
Fleur: I was thinking Dominique.
Bill: Isn't that a boy name? You scold me about suggesting Ralph and then you say Dominique?
Fleur: It's unisex!
Bill: Oh, okay. Well I do like it, it's very pretty.
Fleur: So we'll name 'er Dominique?
Bill: Oui, ma petite pomme.
Fleur: Did you just call me your little apple?
Bill: Pomme means apple?
Fleur: Yes…
Bill: Oh. Hey, don't roll your eyes you know my French needs work.
Fleur: Anyways, we need to pick a middle name, Bill.
Bill: Sally?
Fleur: No. Tatiana?
Bill: No.
Fleur: Molly?
Bill: No, Percy has dibs on it already.
Fleur: How about we do what we did for Victoire.
Bill: Which was…
Fleur: A French name and an English name.
Bill: Oh yeah! But what English name?
Fleur: Jane?
Bill: Too plain. Hey! Plain Jane. I rhymed. Ow! Don't hit me!
Fleur: Be serious.
Bill: Fleur, I'm not Sirius, I'm Bill.
Fleur: Zat was not funny.
Bill: Okay, okay.
Fleur: Jennifer?
Bill: No. Dominique Jennifer sounds weird. I think her middle name should be kind of short, since her first name is so long.
Fleur: Beth?
Bill: Nah.
Fleur: Do you 'ave any other ideas?
Bill: I heard one that I thought was pretty. Let me think for a second.
Fleur: Where'd you hear it?
Bill: In town I think… Ah! I remember. How about Adele?
Fleur: I like it.
Bill: You're sure?
Fleur: Of course I'm sure.
Bill: I was just checking.
Fleur: Dominique Adele Weasley. It's nice.
Bill: You're nice, ma petite pomme.
Fleur:_
Bill: What?
So how'd you guys like having names next to the dialogue. I admit that it probably is less confusing but I don't like writing it that way as much as I like writing it the other way. I hope Fleur's accent was at least a tiny bit better than before. I feel like my French teacher would be proud that I remember what apple is. ;)
