“Maybe Severus as a middle name?”

Harry nodded.
“Okay, Severus as a middle name. But I get to name our next child. Deal?”
“I guess-what are you thinking of?”
“Well, the Chamber was very significant . . .”
Harry smiled, touched by her wanting to name a child after him.
“So, I was thinking Gryffindor Fawkes Potter.”
