Poison
"Hey poison."
"Hey stupid."
"Well that surely does wonders to my deflating ego."
"Just... explain to me how in the name of all things sweet and delicious did you think up Slytherin or Slytherina? like it just baffles me."
"I was tired and my sister was watching Harry Potter, I'm sorry."
"Haha it's okay, you tried your best that's all that matters."
"Well it was smart if I do say so myself, I was thinking outside the box, I was being creative and all."
"Whatever you say. Anyway on the topic of names, do you have an idea of what mine is?"
"Yes, maybe, no, I don't know."
"Well hit me with whatever you've got."
"Is it... Ivy? like poison Ivy? "
"DING DING DING, CONGRATS! YOU GOT IT!"
"REALLY? WOW, OH MY, um I would like to thank my brain for being so smart, I knew i'd guess it one day but-"
"Wow, calm down there."
"I was so close last night as well-"
"- No you weren't."
"- But I went with the most obvious at the time -"
"- Wasn't that obvious -"
"- And said Slytherin but it was Ivy all along!"
"I'm so proud of you Liam, your life goal is finally complete!"
"Thanks bud, couldn't have done it without your name."
"You're welcome. Also I best get going, got work soon."
"Okay, cya poison."
"You can call me Ivy now you know."
"Nah, I like poison better, sounds cool."
"Oh okay, well bye Liam."
