Hard names to live up to.

Yes, surely your father has told you stories?

*shakes his head* Teddy told me a little bit.

Like what?

Well he told me Professor Snape was smart, loyal, and he worked very hard.

He was. He and your father didn't often get along, because Snape was very stubborn, just like your father, but they both were looking for the same brave goals.

*nods* Do you think people change how they act because of their names?

If they choose too.

Well like James. He's always been...well himself but with his names. *trails off*

What do you mean?

He's always pulling pranks and he's not very nice about Slytherins.

Ohhh...I see...

Well...one can feel the pressure to live u to the names, or want to emulate them...

I don't mention Snape and Dumbledore because you must be anything like them, love, just that they're good names given by good men. You don't have to be them. Just be the best of yourself.

*nods*

I will be.

Good. That's all anyone can ask.

I just want to make everyone proud.

And being yourself is what we'll be proud of.

*gives her a smile*

*Smiles back*

Thank you.

Any time.
