Marie POV

I lay down in my room alongside with Draco. Today was a good day, no death eater business, no annoying Lucius, no random Voldemort appearances.

"Marie?" Draco asks breaking the silence

"I'm listening..." I say and smile at him

"Ever wondered what you would name your child?"

"Hm... No, actually... It's something curious to think about. What would you name your kids?" I ask and he looks at the ceiling, thinking for some seconds.

"Maybe... Scorpius" he answers and I laugh

"Scorpius? Can't you just want.... I don't know... Oliver or Jack or I don't know, something less dark?" I joke and he chuckles

"Less dark" he imitates me

"It's to match with yours, isn't it?" I say and smile

"What?! What's wrong with my name?!" he asks dramatically

"How many Dracos do you know, Draco?" I ask and he giggles

We stay in silence for some seconds and he breaks the ice, "It's the name of a constellation... Scorpius..." he pauses and continues, "I heard it means love and hope from the stars."

I look at him and say, "I guess the name Scorpius isn't that bad after all."

"I like it." he says and looks at the ceiling

"I might consider it in the future." I say and he laughs

"If you don't agree with it, I will myself register him with the name that I want anyway, without your permission." he says proudly

"That's very childish of you." I say and we laugh.

"Okay, okay... I will be fair... If it's a boy, I will choose and if it's a girl, you will. What do you think?" he suggests

"Very well then... Agreed." I say and he hugs me.

I love this guy.
