hp_bunintheoven June prompt - "How about ____ for a name?"
Summary: Making babies was more fun than naming them.
"How about Lily Swanhilda for a name?"
Draco nearly dropped his pregnancy journal. "Sorry?"
"Focus, Draco," said Harry. "We need to come up with some names for our babies."
"You did not just suggest something as odious as Swanhilda."
"It's your mum's middle name," Harry reminded him with a sly smirk.
Draco's chin lifted. "Very well," he sniffed. "If we have one of each, a boy and a girl, we can name them Swanhilda and Salazar."
"Are you mental?!"
Draco laughed until his baby kicked him in the liver. "Ouch."
"Serves you right, Sally."
Scowling at his odious husband, Draco rubbed his rounded stomach. "We really do need to decide on some names. You're about ready to pop."
"Ugh, don't remind me."
Draco tapped his quill against his journal. "As much as I'd love to honor our parents, all of them, perhaps it would be best if we chose more unique names for our children."
Harry frowned as he pondered it. "Such as?"
"We could choose one or two girls' names that incorporate flowers, which would be a nod to our mums while still being original."
"I like that, yeah," said Harry, nodding his agreement. "We already have a Rose in the family."
"I suppose Weasley, Ron would kill us if we chose Lavender," mused Draco.
"No, Hermione would kill us," said Harry, cringing at the thought.
"At least we're agreed on a flower theme," said Draco. "We can mull it over. What about boys' names?"
"Hm, how about something strong and fierce, like James Godric Gryffindor?"
Draco's brows drew down. "Or Lucius Salazar Slytherin?"
"Ugh," Harry grimaced. "Maybe Merlin?"
"Too pretentious. Lancelot?"
"Too poncey. William?"
"Too Muggle," said Draco. He set his quill down and rubbed his eyes. "Why did we decide to get pregnant?"
"It was your idea."
"It was most certainly not."
"You got me up the duff first," said Harry.
Draco was too knackered to argue further. "That was fun," he said, grinning a little.
Harry smiled back at him. "Yeah," he agreed. "Some day we'll be able to enjoy sex again."
"I reckon in about eleven years," said Draco, "when we send our progeny to Hogwarts."
