A conversation between Harry and Ginny before the birth of their first child...

"We should try to pick out names, Harry."

"Why's that Gin?"

"I was talking to Mum and she said that she picked out names before any of us were born."

"Mhhm, that's nice."

"You're not listening, are you?"

"Yes, the garden is lovely right now… OW! What'd you smack me for?"

"You're not paying any attention at all!"

"I don't see what the big deal is. I just figured we'd know when we saw the little guy."

"What if we don't? What if we draw a blank and just say the first name that pops into our head? Poor kid could end up with a name like 'Dudley'. Hey, don't laugh, it isn't funny."

"Ginny, I promise not to think of Dudley at all when our child is born."

"But that's not my point!"

"Oh, you stamped your foot. Hormonal are we?"

"Harry Potter, you ass. Just help me brainstorm names and I'll over look that you called me hormonal and won't make you sleep on the couch."

"Fine."

"So what about Xavier? Oh, stop gagging."

"Really? Xavier? Where'd you hear that name?"

"I forget…"

"Well how about something manly… like Archibald… okay, I was kidding. OW! Stop slapping me!"

"Take this seriously or you're sleeping on the couch."

"Yeah, yeah. Hey, do you think we should get it a puffskein? Or maybe a pygmy puff, since they're smaller and probably better for a baby."

"See? We wouldn't have to keep referring to him as 'it' if we just decide on a name."

"What about Harry Junior?"

"No."

"Or… Regulus. I always thought Sirius's brother had a very regal name. How about it Gin? Should or son be regal Regulus?"

"Shut up."

"Oh, Ginny, I'm just joking."

"Whatever."

"I have been thinking though."

"About?"

"Well, I always liked the name Sirius."

"I know you loved Sirius, Harry, but we're not naming our son that."

"Well why not?"

"Well just imagine the jokes… 'Why so serious, Sirius?'… It's just as bad as Regulus."

"Middle name then?"

"Sure."

"So our son will be 'something Sirius'."

"Don't even suggest naming him 'Something'."

"You read me so well."

"Like an open book."

"Have you had any other first name ideas?"

"Well what about Harold?"

"Harold?"

"Yes, it's like a combination of your name and Ron's."

"Ginny, that's a horrid name. Ugh, Harold."

"Well there was one other."

"Do tell."

"Oh stop with the mocking tone. You might actually like this one."

"Well I won't know until you tell me."

"I thought maybe we could name him James."

"I love you."

"Huh? What brought that on? Harry, stop kissing me… answer me. Harry! Snap out of it!"

"Sorry."

"What just happened?"

"I was overwhelmed."

"With?"

"With love for you."

"Go on…"

"I mean, it's perfect; James Sirius Potter. You're a genius!"

"I try."

So everyone, I decided to try my hand at an all dialogue story. I hope you guys liked it. If I ever get around to it, maybe I'll add to it. But it's just going to be a one-shot for now. Harry Potter is owned by the brilliant J.K Rowling. Reviews might prompt another chapter. ;)
