"No."
"Come on, Harry!"
"Absolutely not."
"I adamantly refuse to call our dog Woofwaffle."
"Well, listen, he woofs and he's the color of a waffle. He even looks a little like one," Ginny argued. Harry sighed, and looked around:
"Well, I think we should all decide on a name together." Yes, that was a good strategy. "What does the family think?"
"I think it's a very 'Mum' name, if you know what I mean," James Sirius said amusedly.
"I think it's rather stupid, actually," Albus Severus added.
"I think it's cute!" Lily Luna interrupted immediately.
"Yes, it is, Lily dear! It's a very cute name for a very cute dog!" Ginny beamed.
Harry started to break out in a cold sweat. When the two females in the house teamed up, the situation suddenly became more dangerous.
"Oh, come on, we know that Mum always wins arguments in the end anyway!" James interjected.
"No, she doesn't!" Harry embarrassedly tried to defend himself.
"And we know what she offers to convince you," Albus added in a flat tone, "It's amazing how manipulable you are when the hormones kick in."
"Albus!" snapped Ginny, "Not in front of Lily Luna!"
"Hypocrite!" snapped Lily, suddenly indignant, "Weren't you the one who complained that your brothers always treated you like a little girl?"
"Okay, okay, everyone calm down," Harry intervened. He had seen the fights between Ginny and Lily, and as much as he privately thought they were a sight to behold and amused him like few things in the world, now was the time to de-escalate. Unfortunately, there was only one way to do that.
"Woofwaffle it is, then!"
Ginny and Lily, oblivious to the earlier tension, squealed with excitement and hugged each other. James' "I told you so" could be heard behind them. Albus just shrugged, while Woofwaffle barked, apparently pleased with his new name.
All was well, mostly.
