“ HEAR ME OUT — ” mary begins, waving a hand as though the spoon in her grasp would underline her words. “i love the little gremlin you’ve got growing inside you there, which is why we gotta pick a great name for him. i’m talking epic, i-discovered-the-secret-to-life, indiana jones adventure worthy name. i mean, you’ve never heard of any legends named something dull like BRAD have you?” says the girl with a nickname as basic as mary. well, y’can’t win ‘em all. the witch returns to the mixing bowl in front of her, stirring the colorful cupcake icing a few more times before dipping a finger in the mixture. “tell me again what you and james are considering?” // @notafrcak
❝ we don't even know if it's a boy yet!! ❞ little outbursts of laughter sputtered from lily’s throat, arms resting on her waist as she playfully scolded her best friend. it was hard to keep a straight face when mary acted so passionately at the topic of the upcoming addition to the potter family, and lily was nothing short of glad the woman was almost as enthusiastic as herself. having mary to confide in during her pregnancy was something lily would forever be grateful for, such support being more than welcomed. ❝ besides, do you really think i’d let my child have an anything-but-awesome name?? ❞ the fake frown that accompanied her words only lasted a few seconds, easily fading as a smile made its way through, crinkling green eyes in a fashion that was characteristic of her whenever around mary. ❝ james and sirius simply insist on calling it elvendork, ❞ ‘it’s unisex!’ she could almost hear her husband and his best friend yell in her ears. ❝ but i suppose it’s safe to say that is not an option. i’ve come up with only a few names myself. daniel, after my dad. thomas, maybe oliver. oooh, how ‘bout han solo potter?! has a ring to it, huh?? ❞
