HELLO.

"…Er…hi," said Harry to the apparently-talking piece of paper.

HOW ARE YOU TODAY?

"Um…I'm fine…um…how are you?"

OH, YEAH, I'M GREAT THANKS.

"Um…can I ask you something?"

SURE. GO AHEAD.

"Why the hell am I talking to a piece of paper?"

…THAT HURT.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean…"

THAT REALLY HURT. I MEAN, I KNOW I'M USELESS. WORTHLESS. I DON'T MEAN ANYTHING IN YOUR "PARCHMENT" WORLD, BUT REALLY, THAT IS JUST RUDE.

"I said I was…"

I DO HAVE FEELINGS YOU KNOW.

"I'm sorry."

SORRY? WELL, SORRY WON'T TAKE AWAY THE HURT!!! WHAAAAAAA!

"…I'm really sorry."

HMPH!

"…I love you?"

*STUNNED SILENCE* WHA?

"I love you."

WHAT, ARE YOU GAY OR SOMETHING?

"Since when are you a male?"

SEE, THERE YOU GO AGAIN – ASSUMING WE PIECES OF PAPER ARE NOTHING!

"Sorry…"

THAT WE HAVE NO GENDER,

"I'm sorry, ok…"

THAT WE HAVE NO FEELINGS,

"Sor…"

NO HEART.

"…But…you don't have a heart, do you?"

WELL, TECHNICALLY…NO…

"Well there you go then."

Ron enters. "So what's going on then?"

"I was just explaining to this piece of paper that I couldn't have offended him because technically, he doesn't actually have a heart."

WELL, YES, BUT YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT ENTIRELY…

"No, no, I think we have the point here. You don't have a heart, so you can't take offence."

BUT…

"Yeah, so you can't be mad at me."

…I LOVE YOU.

"…Sod off."
