"You still need a central name!" Dray exclaims, pointing to Harry [Harry James Potter v-3-22-3-4-15, to be exact] in excitement. "After all, you're the main character and all! There'll be tons of you! Oh, the confusion!"
Dray sounds quite delighted by this idea and Harry throws his boyfriend an annoyed look.
"I don't want to have another name, though. I don't understand how I'd need one, it's not like I know anyone from another universe, anyways."
"What bout 'lizzy? She and Sarin sure are getting quite cooozy... Maybe you'll have a step-mum from another universe, soon!"
Harry throws him a mortified look. "No! Just no! I mean, I know he likes her, but even if- I'm not calling a universal of my mum my step-mum, that's just- wrong!"
Dray starts cackling at his mortification, and Harry throws a pillow at him. Dray whacks it right back at him and also musses up his hair in retaliation. Then he starts laughing, snorting with laughter in fact and holding his stomach, trying to stop.
"...Dray? It wasn't, like, that funny."
"No, no- you- right now. If you'd need an- aahhahaha- central name, I'd just call you hair, cause- ehehehe- look at it!"
Harry throws him an annoyed look and tries to get his always chaotic hair somewhat under control again. "Jeesh, that's a stupid name, Draco! If anything, I'd just call myself Harold and still go by Harry. Or switch my first and middle name, that'd work best actually."
Draco immediately flips open his Central-Connecc, and before Harry can protest he's already entering the name suggestions. "Naw, James Harry's taken already by some old dude few 'verses over... But Harold works! Hello Harold! Oooh I want to enter nicknames, how can I enter nicknames?"
At the question, a window of blue light pops up, and TG stares up at him. "Hi, Dray! Whazzup? Oh, Hi Harold! Finally no longer an ID number, are we?"
Harry crosses his arms over his chest. "Don't I have to agree with this first? I feel like I should have to agree with this first."
"Oh, no, everyone can add an identifier for someone who doesn't have one yet, to make it easier to communicate! You can ask for it to be removed, though that's tedious, or you can just change it to something you want it go be and then that'd overrule everything else of course" Kasha beams at them. "Now, whatcha been asking, Dray?"
"I wanted to add a nickname" he snickers. "'cause Hair's so hair-y, you see..."
The Girl starts cackling, entering a few words into the register, and a new window pops open underneath Harold's ID name register: Nicknames: 'Harry', 'Hairs'.
Dray snorts. "Close enough!"
Harold rolls his eyes. It's not like anyone's ever going to use that nickname again, apart from Draco.
(The nickname sticks around. He even grows to like it).
