Soul Bond

A/N: A few of your have asked about the name for the baby. (I am posting this story on two sites so if you don’t see the questions in the feedback here it might be on the other site) Aurora is a Disney name. It was from the Sleeping Beauty movie. Her parents named her Aurora because she was born as the new day dawned. The fairies that raised her called her Briar Rose, or just Rose, but her real name is Aurora. It is probably just not well known because her name is only mentioned a couple of times throughout the movie. Of course, everyone knows that Jasmine is from the Aladdin movie. Anyway, on with the story…this one is for Zozobozo!



Proudly Announcing:
Aurora Jasmine Potter-Malfoy
Daughter of
Draco Lucius Malfoy
And
Harry James Potter
Was born September 12 at 10:33pm.
Congratulations to the Family

Harry grinned when he saw the announcement in the Quibbler. Luna had gotten her dad to put it on the front page of the next issue. There was a picture of Draco, Harry, Siri and Aurora sitting on the couch in their sitting room all grinning at the camera. They hoped that Lilly would see it right away and that Arabella could arrange a time for them to get together again. Harry knew that they were still in England but not where.

Draco and the baby were sleeping and Sir was with Hermione and Neville shopping. They had promised a trip to the Quidditch shop and he was anxious to go. Harry leaned back in his recliner enjoying the peace of being alone. The house had been chaotic for the past three days and he was enjoying his solitude. Everyone they had known had flocked to the house to see the new addition.

Harry grinned when he thought of the expression on all of Draco’s Slytherin friends when they saw Aurora. She had large green eyes like Harry and could pass as his double. She looked more like Harry than Siri did, who had started taking on some of Draco’s mannerisms and made him seem less like Harry. Draco was ecstatic that she looked like Harry, and Harry was secretly pleased as well. He had a bit of his own mortality in her little face.

He felt his pocket warm up and immediately perked up. He scrambled out of the chair and ran out the front door to the garden bench where he sat down and pulled the magical mirror from his pocket. Lilly very seldom called him, but he was always careful never to reveal his mirror in the house.

“Lilly!” he exclaimed to his grinning face. “How are you, Princess?”

Her green eyes lit up. “Arabella showed me the announcement. Does she have our eyes, dad?”

Harry grinned. “She looks exactly like me, eyes included.”

“I’m glad! I like the green eyes better than the silver. Don’t tell Daddy though,” she whispered conspiratorially.

“I promise,” Harry said with a laugh.

“How is daddy? Did he like the name?”

“Your father is doing great, and of course he liked the name! How could he not with you picking it out?”

Lilly laughed. “He won’t call her Jazzy, will he?”

“Probably not, but that doesn’t mean the rest of us can’t!”

“Tell Daddy that he agreed! I want her to be called Jazzy!”

Harry smiled. “I’ll see what I can do. How are you? We are sure missing you,” he said.

“I am good. I can’t wait to see you. Arabella said that we won’t have a visit until after you have the twins.”

“Oh,” Harry said feeling the disappointment creep over him. “I was hoping now.”

“Me too, but she said it isn’t safe. Daddy, can I name the twins?”

“You are a little imp, you know that? If I let you name them, we could end up with Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck!” Harry said laughing.

“Mick and Don wouldn’t be so bad!” she said with a grin.

“I don’t cave as easy as your father does! I have something else in mind.”

“Dad, you know that Daddy won’t agree to any Muggle names!” she said knowingly.

Harry blushed. “We shall see!”

“Dad, I have to go. Tell everyone that I love them!”

“I will,” he said to the empty mirror.


Hermione grinned when she watched Siri pick up a ruffled pink baby dress. “I think that Jazzy would like this one,” he said.

They had gone to a Muggle shopping mall to pick up some items that Hermione wanted and decided to stop in the Gap Baby shop. She knew that Draco wouldn’t approve of Muggle clothes for the baby but she didn’t care. Siri could usual talk his father into most things and she figured that this would be another one of those things.

“Does it have to be pink?” Neville asked holding up the pale green one.

“Girls like pink, Uncle Nev. Although, dad might like that green one. He does like green you know.”

Hermione and Neville both grinned. They knew all to well Draco’s opinion of the color of green. “How about we get both?” Hermione said solving the problem.

“Aunt Mione, can we go to the Orange Julius store and get a Colada and a hot dog?” he asked. When they were still living in America it had been his favorite place to stop for a snack.

“Sure,” she said with a grin.

“What is Orange Julius?” Neville asked.

Hermione and Siri looked at each other with grins. “You’ll see,” they said together. They quickly paid for the outfits for Jazzy and then made their way to the opposite side of the mall where the Orange Julius was located.

“Would you like me to order for you?” Siri asked Neville seriously.

Neville looked at Siri in bewilderment. Strange smells were coming from behind the counter and he wondered what they were getting him into. “I guess so. I don’t care for anything with coconut in it though,” he said thinking of Hermione’s newest cravings of anything that had coconut in it.

“You wouldn’t like the colada one then.” Siri stepped up to the counter and ordered, “Two large Colada Julius’s and one large strawberry banana Julius. We would also like three pizza dogs, and that’s everything.”

“Is that for here or to go?” the bored cashier asked.

“We’ll eat it here, thank you.”

The cashier rang up the order and Hermione stepped up to the counter and handed him Muggle currency. After accepting the change and taking their order number they sat down at a nearby table.

“You’ll love this Uncle Nev,” Siri said enthusiastically.

“What exactly is it?”

“Have you ever had a Muggle hotdog?”

“I am not sure. Have I, Mione?” he asked her.

“Not with me you haven’t. They are not my favorite, and I only eat them when Harry and Siri make me.”

“I see. Then I would venture to guess that I have not. I suppose though, that if you and Harry enjoy them then I probably will as well. What is this Julius that you ordered?”

“It’s a blended drink. It has strawberries and bananas and juice mixed together with ice and stuff. Its good!” he said grinning. “Look, here is comes!” he said excitedly.

Neville watched with trepidation the tray that was unceremoniously dropped on the table in front of them. The hotdogs were covered with cheese and some kind of red sauce. There was a sprinkling of some kind of herb across the top. He sniffed them and then said, “Is that oregano?”

“Its better not to guess what is in them. Its easier to eat them that way,” Hermione said picking hers up and taking a bite. “This is good! I haven’t eaten one of these since we left America!” she said enjoying the flavor of the cheese and pizza sauce that covered her hotdog.

Neville sniffed it again before taking a bite and then set it back down. “I think that I shall just stick to my juice,” he said with a shudder.

“You don’t like it, Uncle Nev?” he asked in shock.

“It’s just not what I am used to, Siri. I guess that I prefer to eat my regular stuff and not these hot dogs,” he said stressing each word as if it truly was a hot dog.

Siri laughed. “Its not a dog, Uncle Nev, its meat of some kind. It’s not a dog is it Aunt Mione?” Siri asked thinking of Callista at home.

Hermione laughed. “No dear, they’re usually made out of pork and beef. Since your not going to eat yours Neville, would you mind if I did?” she asked. She had devoured hers and really wanted another.

“The baby sure is making you eat strange things, dear,” he said handing her his unwanted food.

“Maybe. These really are great!” she said taking another huge bite.

“Are you still sleeping, love?” Harry asked softly trying not to wake the baby.

“No, I am awake. I was looking at how beautiful she is. I wish that Lilly were here to see her. She has the same eyes as you and Lilly.”

“Lilly contacted me through the mirror. She saw the notice.”

Draco immediately perked up. “Is she going to be able to visit?”

Harry shook his head. “No, not until after the twins are born. Arabella thinks that to many visits is not safe yet. She is happy though.”

Draco smiled. “Did you tell her we loved and missed her?”

“Of course. She also said to remind you that you said that she could pick out the name and that she wants the baby to be called Jazzy.”

“Oh gods, Harry! I am not calling my beautiful little baby something so vulgar!”

“Lilly said that you promised and then made me promise to make you keep your promise to her. I think that you should just get used to it dear,” Harry said with a soft smile.

“Its like a Muggle prostitutes name, Harry!”

“Draco, did you or didn’t you promise Lilly that she could name the baby?”

“I didn’t realize she would pick out something so strange!” he exclaimed.

“A promise is a promise.”

Draco sighed. “Well, Jazzy, I shall be having words with your sister when she gets home!” he said softly to the sleeping baby.

“The new nanny will be here tomorrow to start. By the way, I finally figured out her name. It Zozo.”

“God’s! I am surrounded by strange names! I hope she isn’t as weird as her name implies!”

A/N: For those of you who don't know what an Orange Julius is, it is a chain fast food restaurant that is found in most American malls. The drinks are great and the food is your typical fast food crap that you would find at a mall.
