[He nods, simultaneously pleased and embarrassed all at once because Merlin his aunt's his age. He hasn't quite figured out how this is possible, but then again they're wizards. Time trav--
--it might be safe to assume that's it. Less headaches. He just holds up three fingers though and ticks them off as he speaks and counts down.]
James Sirius is the oldest, I'm in the middle, and Lily Luna's the baby. [He grins though.] I'm pretty sure Mum didn't get a say in any of the naming.
[Time Travel is a tricky business and Hermione knows she shouldn't be hearing any of this, but she can't stop him; she doesn't want to. Hearing all of this is giving her hope in the future and there's something so like Harry about him.
How can she not like listening to him?]
Lily...Luna? [Her breath catches in her throat. Does something happen to Luna?] No, it doesn't sound like she did. All of your names came from people who were important to Harry...your father.
[And likewise, Albus is aware that he shouldn't be telling her any of this, but...well in all honesty, out of the three kids he bonded with Hermione the best. James is all about pranks and mischief just like his namesakes, and Lily's a little spitfire. Albus, despite having his father's temper and blatant disregard for rules whenever he feels it's necessary, also obtained his mother's brains and therefore usually found himself locked away in Hermione's personal library while he was growing up. Despite not being related by blood, he also seemingly inherited Hermione's dire need to learn and know things. It doesn't surprise him at all that they're currently speaking like they're equals.]
Luna really helped Dad during the war, but I think he just liked the way the two Ls sounded together. Luna was very touched to hear she's a namesake. [He can at least alleviate Hermione's worries about Luna's life-status. At the mention of Severus Snape though Albus just shrugs, looking skyward.]
Dad told me the story before I started at Hogwarts. There's a lot of things that happened during the war that he didn't think would happen. [He looks down again to meet Hermione's eyes.] So it's true that he and Professor Snape didn't get along at all?

I am surprised he chose Severus.
