The Godfather

George Weasley sat staring across from the four other young men in the room. He'd never felt so nervous being around them before, but this was something important to him. Something he'd like to get out of the way.

"Er, so you're going to tell us now, or the next century?" Neville was the one to break the silence, but the others all nodded in agreement.

George cleared his throat. It was the holidays now, and he knew the others apart from Fred would be going back to school soon, so he had to get it out of the way.

"I brought you all here today so I could ask you a very important question."

Draco raised an eyebrow.

"The five of us have been the best of friends for longer than I can remember. And upon thinking that soon I suppose it will be expected of me to marry and have children, I suppose I better get this out of the way."

"We're not marrying you, if that's what you're after," Harry responded with dry humour.

George shook his head. "No, it's about the children aspect of it."

"We're not fathering your children, either," Draco said.

George only shook his head again, used to their banter. "No, what I want you all here for is to ask you; if I were to ever have children, I could never decide between you who I'd ask as a godfather. So, I'm asking you all right now. You'll all be made godfathers to my children."

There was a silence before expressions turned to bemused.

"I'm honoured!"

"But I'm your brother!"

"Me?"

"I'll bring some Slytherin snark into them."

Eventually, George held up his hand to silence them. "Thank you," was all he said.

"You haven't got a girl pregnant, have you?" Fred asked after a moment.

George shook his head. "Not that I know of, I'm just planning."

Everyone nodded.

"Awesome!" they all said in unison.
