No one expected this happen, on July the 31st, when young Lily Potter went into labour. The Potter's were expecting one child and a boy at that. So when a baby girl come into the world screaming her father and honourary uncle nearly fainted in shock but were, fortunately, brought back into reality when they realised that Lily was still having contractions and the midwives were still fussing about. After a couple of hours, the expected child was born.  

That night two children were born. Two healthy babies. A girl with dark gingery hair with a limestone skin tone looking more like her mother than father. While her brother was spitting of their father from the dark messy brown hair to the honeyed skin.

Though it was a surprise to the small family they welcomed the challenge with open arms. Their son was named quickly as they had it already planned, however when it came to naming their daughter they were kind of out a loss when it came to names. 

Keeping to the Evan's family tradition, Lily named her after a flower but was unsure on what name to use for the middle name. When Sirius Black came up with a beautiful suggestion. 

"How about mum's name?"

With the names, all worked out and written on the birth certificates the small family felt at peace like they weren't in the middle of a Wizarding War. Time felt slowed as the babies cooed and scrunched up their faces at the adults. Watching them with curious eyes. 



That night was only the beginning of Harry James and Iris Dorea Potter story.
