The morning after our nighttime -um, activity- Mum decided to have me go Gringott's and get the money from Dad's parents.

"Take whatever's left," Mum told me. "Al and James have already gotten their shares."

Fred offered to take me so Mum and Dad could stay home and relax. They agreed and handed the vault key over to him.

"It might be a while," he told them. "I want to make a few stops."

He took my arm and apparated us away.

He was right, it took most of the day. We didn't arrive home unitl six o'clock. We literally walked inside and sat down for supper.

I sat next to Fred, with Albus on my other side. Hugo sat across from me.

Hugo and I both talked very little as we ate our steak.

After supper, Hugo and I went outside to talk. We wanted to pick godparents for the baby.

"Rose should be godmother," I told him.

"Yeah," he agreed. "It's a no-brainer."

"Good," I replied.

"Who's godfather?" he asked.

"Well," I said. "The way I see it, we have three choices. Louis, Fred, or Al?"

"Louis," Hugo said. "Hands down."

"Yeah," I agreed. "Let's tell them."

He agreed, and we went to find them. We found Rose in our bedroom.

"Hey," I said to her. "Can we talk?"

"Sure," she agreed smiling.

"You've beenreally great about the whole pregnancy thing," Hugo began.

"And we want you to be the baby's godmother," I finished.

"YES!" she nearly screamed. "Of course! I'll be the best godmother ever, I promise."

"Good then," Hugo said.

"Who's godfather?" Rose asked.

"Louis," I told her.

"We haven't told him yet," Hugo said. "We're going to now."

"Okay," Rose responed brightly. "See you later!"

"See you later," I told her.

"Bye, sis," Hugo said.


Louis was harder to find, but we finally found him reading in the apple orchard.

"Hey," I said, tapping him on the shoulder.

He looked up from his book. "Hey guys."

"So," I told him. "We have something impirtant to talk to you about."

"Ok," he replied. "What is it?"

"Well," Hugo began. "You mean a lot to both Lily and I."

Louis smiled.

"And, anyway," Hugo continued. "We want you to be the baby's godfather."

"Wow," said Louis. "I, um, thanks."

"So you'll do it?" I asked.

"Of course, Lils," he agreed. "I'd be honored!"


I think Al was jealous that we made Louis godfather over him. Roxie seemed a little annoyed too. Why would she think we wouldpick her, though? Hugo and I are both closer to Rose.

"Listen, Al," I told him in the sitting room Christmas eve night. "I'm sorry we didn't pick you for godfather. It's just, Louis was more supportive, and besides, Hugo's closer to him."

"It's okay," Al said with a smile. "I'm jealous, but I understand."

"Thanks, Al," I said. "That makes me feel loads better."
