Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.

"It was?" Harry asked, surprised. "But my middle name is 'James.'"

Alice grinned. "That's what's so interesting about it. Your father's name was James Henry – though he insisted on being called James Harry for some reason – and you were named Harry James but it's a complete coincidence. Or maybe, as your father claimed, yet more proof that they belonged together."

Harry was fascinated. "Where did my name come from then?"

"Your mother and aunt used to talk about what names they wanted for their children," Alice replied. "It's probably for the best that you were born a boy because her girl name was 'Aurelia Devonney.' I don't know where she came up with either of those names but she was quite set on them."

Harry laughed. "You're making that up."

Alice raised an eyebrow. "Am I? Well."

"I can just imagine how hard it would be to convince everyone that I wasn't actually named after my father," Harry mused. "If they even cared to convince anybody."

"Your parents," Alice informed him, "absolutely denied that you were named after your father but they gave every person who asked them a different story so nobody knew the truth."
