"E-ecstatic." She smothered her giggles with the sleeve of her robes, raising an essay to her face in an attempt to hide her expression. "Their naming sense truly is impeccable."

"I swear on my life, if you tell anyone," he knitted his brows together as he thought of a suitable punishment. "I... I'll charm your desk to sing Celestina Warbeck every time it's opened."

"You... You wouldn't!" She looked aghast, dropping the papers onto the coffee table before growing visibly flustered and responding in a smaller voice. "I have to confess though, I didn't mind You Charmed the Heart Right Out of Me as much as the others..."

"Huh," he mused, placing a fully marked booklet on the side table. "I would. And I think they're all as bad as each other."

"I get it, we all know the banshee chorus in the background really doesn't help her music." She nodded in understanding, hurriedly stacking the essays again. "It's just that that particular song feels like nostalgia slapping me across the face."

"Don't need no broom, I'm flying free, I think by now it's plain to see, I'm nothing without you," he quoted, raising an eyebrow slyly. "In what part of your tormented past does that serve as a fond memory?"

"I didn't take you for enough of a Warbeck fan for you to learn those lyrics over the screeching." She fired back, rolling her eyes. "I think it was my mother's influence really. She used played a pretty rendition of it on the piano a lot throughout my 'tormented past', but it was a magical piano, mind you."

"My own mother used to sing it every Christmas after we broke out the Firewhiskey," he groaned. "And then my father would play some Muggle equivalent on his CD player. Maria... no, Mariah something or other."

"There's nothing wrong with a good Christmas song." She said rather matter-of-factly. "I'm sure this Muggle singer can't have been as bad as Warbeck, no banshees, right?"

"She might as well have been a banshee herself," he commented drily. "One of these days I'll make you listen to her."

"Oh come on." She flapped her hand. "You always seem to make things sound more horrendous than they actually are. The middle names weren't... I mean, you could have had worse."

"Can you think of anything worse than..." He trailed off, glancing around before mouthing 'Montgomery Francis'.

"Quite possibly..." She leant in closer despite knowing that no teachers were in the near vicinity. "...Albus Severus."

He snorted, going back to his marking. "Fame gets to your head, I suppose. And those names were at least meaningful."

"I'm sure there's some wonderful story behind you-know-what, have you even ever asked your parents about it?" Alysia sat back up, reclining against the cushy armchair. "I mean, they had to have put quite a lot of thought to it, naming a first born isn't something to be taken lightly."

"Honestly? I think they just picked up the oldest baby-names book they could find and flicked to a random page," he said with a sigh. "What about you? Did your parents put much thought into your name?"

"Oh cut them a little slack, not many people care about middle names nowadays and we can always think of a nickname for you if you insist on not being called Bennett so much." She paused, draining the rest of her mug before continuing on with her own name's origin. "Alicia was my grandmother's name but of course, strange and mystical spellings are my parent's forte. That's about it."

"It means something then," he pointed out. "That's a start. Bennett," he pulled a face, "has absolutely no sentimental value."

He gave her a scathing look. "How could anyone like the sound of it?"
