Surnames
Our story begins a year after the First Wizarding War ended. Gideon and Edgar are discussing their surnames.
Edgar stated, "I hate mine. I mean come on, my surname is Bones."
Gideon said, "I bet that you have been made fun of for it lots, Ed."
Edgar grimaced. "Many, many times."
Gideon smiled. "I like my surname, it's not too common and not too weird."
Edgar agreed, "I like your surname too, Gid."
Gideon grinned. "I just had an idea. If we ever get married, you can take my surname."
Edgar smirked. "Are you proposing already?"
Gideon chuckled. "So, what if I am? I love you and you love me, why don't we tie the knot right here and now?"
Edgar asked, "Are you being serious?"
Gideon got down on one knee and politely inquired, "Would you Edgar Bones do me the honour of becoming my husband?"
Edgar replied, "Yes."
Gideon got up again and told him, "I will get you a ring as soon as I can afford one."
Edgar reassured him, "I would wait an eternity for you."
