What's this? Why'd you call it- no, Sirius, stop I-
[ there's a pause, sounds of a struggle and what could probably pass as a triumphant laugh. ]
Right! Name's James Potter. 'pparently you can leave things here for me to read later? Brilliant.
Uh, what am I even supposed to say?
Wait, no, this is my bloody-
[ and the feed is cut off. blame sirius. ]
text;
you. prefect of the year.
have you even had a drink before? do you drink? you're planning on giving that to sirius?
I mean really.
chocolate frogs? I haven't collected those since first year, wow.
uh
dumbledore? or did you get a godric gryffindor card
because there was a time there I would have done just about anything for that card
are you giving me jewelry now, evans? because as much as I'd love to wear a bracelet from you
it'd make chasing a little difficult. really difficult, actually.
maybe I'm just prepared to make a few sacrifices for your happiness did you ever think about that?
not sure about the date thing either
dunno if we've been on enough to count as 'a few'
text;
You know anything I give to Sirius is as good as yours, so I'm not sure why you're questioning it.
Harry James Potter.
It has his picture on it and everything.
It was hypothetical! And a joke.
And I meant the other girls you've dated, not me. Since I'm sure they exist.
text;
I'm hurt that you feel like you should give it to him first
when you could just give it to me :(
harry jam-
wait
harry as in the same harry we have here.
[ and here is probably where james should be freaking out and excited that they've met someone else on the chocolate frogs cards, but there's something bothering him. ]
why's he got my name?
text;
though it's also possible that I wouldn't even consider this for other girls
maybe you're just special
text;
I imagine, seeing as he's your son, you had a part in naming him. What's wrong with him taking your name? I think it suits him.
I'm flattered, I think. Though I don't know how I could even conjure a belled collar, so.. Even if it was a serious suggestion, which it wasn't, you would have nothing to worry about.
text;
rather than me
how could anyone not take that personally?
yeah but he's also your son
you'd have just as equal parts in naming him.
probably more, since you're you and if we were naming a baby I would
hypothetically but also maybe not
leave it basically up to you.
so you're actually telling me that because you wouldn't know how to conjure up something
is reason enough for me not to worry
because honestly I would worry just as much because if you realized you couldn't do something
you'd spend that much more time figuring it out.
if anything the actual collar bit wouldn't be what I was worried about
text;
[ which he can take however he likes!! things changed while he was away. three weeks is a long time for people to bond. or.. duel, as it were. ]
Maybe I picked the name James, is that really so hard to believe? I do have a penchant for family names, maybe it just.. seemed fitting, at the time. Are you really that opposed to the idea?
No, I'm not actually telling you that, since I also included the fact that it wasn't a serious suggestion! Though you're right, if I had a very good reason to try and figure out a way to do that, I would. I'm sure it's not even that difficult.
I know I'm going to regret asking, but- if not the collar, then what would you be worried about?
text;
[ because it's sirius and that is obviously the first thought that james has. can you really blame him? ]
I'm not opposed to it at all!
I'm just
I don't know.
it seems a little strange, is all. not the naming, but just him.
which is silly because he's apparently our son so it makes sense but he has my name.
would you really want to name your son after me?
see
I know you. or know how stubborn you are.
and do you really want me to answer that ;)
text;
Harry isn't strange!
He looks just like us, it's not so hard to believe he's our son.
Minus the whole one-date-does-not-result-in-marriage-and-a-baby factor, of course.
But it seems I do. Or will. Did.
... Maybe.
Unless it's repulsive, then no.
text;
if he's suddenly the first person you think of at times like these
gallivanting around while poor old me is off lost somewhere
probably dying, fighting to come see your lovely face one last time
that hurts
no no no no I didn't mean he was strange
just the whole situation of being able to talk to him and get to know him like this
when we haven't even
you know
and see now you're just trying to confuse me with this whole past present future wording
I guess I should just be flattered you'd want to name our son after me is all :)
it's going to be repulsive so for the sake of this conversation
I will hold off
text;
And before you say anything about how you disapprove or how you'll tell him off, I'm just going to let you know that it was my idea, and we were both fine through the whole thing. Very fair, actually, surprisingly enough.
Well it's not as if he could have taken my name as his middle name...
But sure, you can choose to be flattered if that puts an end to your confusion, Potter.
[ obviously since she admitted she and Sirius hung out and venting their feeeeeeelings through a duel, she has to counter it with an empty insult ]
text;
[ he really is just teasing at this point. ]
I'm sorry I missed that duel, though
must have been the duel of the ages
why would I tell him off? if anything I'd warn him to watch his back
he could have if you wanted him to
I wouldn't have minded
he might've the older he got but isn't that the point of parents?
to give their kids ridiculous names?
I will choose to be flattered and I will keep this memory in mind for the rest of my life
so when we do get married and have little Harry I will bring this up
and you can't back down from it since you already agreed
