A/N: Oh you dirty minded people! I just looked at my stats, and I have the most hits for Anticipation. Sick. Well, I shouldn't be saying anything cuz I typed it up, but still. ANYWAY…Oh great…This one's 'Compersion'. Can it get any sicker? lol jk. But still. So I guess I should stop rambling and type up a disclaimer.
DISCLAIMER: If I owned Harry Potter, Ron and Neville would both be lusting after me, twincest would be happening, and Cedric wouldn't have died. So obviously, I don't own Harry Potter. Or the definition of Compersion. That goes to Wikipedia.
Compersion is a term used by practitioners of polyamory to describe the experience of taking pleasure when one's partner is with another person. It was originally coined by the Kerista Commune in San Francisco1 (or possibly by the ZEGG community in Germany2) which practiced polyfidelity, and has since been adopted throughout the culture of polyamory. The term is often expressed as "the opposite of jealousy",2 since that term is used to describe one's pain at a lover's experiences with others.
Compersion can be said to be a form of empathy; i.e. pleasure that a loved one is experiencing a good thing in his or her life.
Harry looked over at Cho, who was, once again, canoodling with her new boyfriend, Roger Davies. Hermione looked at him, and snapped her fingers in his face.
"Harry, stop looking back at her! It's over between you two." Ron looked up from his dinner (which was a heaping plate of meat) and nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, she obviously loves another now," he said, shoveling more food into his mouth. Hermione, disgusted, looked away.
"Harry, what is with you looking anyway? I thought you were over it," she added as a after statement. Harry nodded.
"I am," he said, glancing back at the two lovebirds. "It's just…who wouldn't look at the two? They're cute together."
"Harry, you've gone off your rocker," Ron stated calmly.
"Shut up and eat Ron," Fred yelled from across the table.
"Yeah, no one cares what you think!" George added. Ron's ears turned red as everyone chuckled at his brother's jeers. Hermione even let out a snigger.
"Well," she started to say after her laughter had subsided, "You seemed to have come to terms with this." Harry smiled.
"Yes, I have. Don't worry, I'm not faking," he added as Hermione pulled a worried face. He looked back over at the two. They were now eating face right in front of everyone. McGonagall strode over and separated the two, and mouthed something like, "Five points from Ravenclaw each."
Harry smiled broader as Cho hit Rodger and started to argue with him.
"Yeah, I've come to terms alright."
A/N: Okay, so my mind has shifted from nice Harry to Evil mean likes to see Cho get angry Harry. What is with Cho anyway? I really don't like her. At least this didn't come out like I thought it would. I am trying to get over my pervyness. So…yeah. Reviews would be…nice. Oh and thanks to everyone who reviewed my other stories!
