I obviously do not own Harry Potter
Drabble 1: Love
Love was Fighting
Harry never knew what love was. He didn't grow up with it and he was too busy working to observe it. But now, as he watched Hermione accept Ron's proposal, he knew exactly what love was.
Love was fighting.
That was the only conclusion Harry could come up with. Vernon and Petunia always fought over trivial things yet they remained marry. The Weasley kids loved each other and was always at each other's throats - especially Ron and Ginny. Hell, even his parents fought a lot!
Well, his parents only got together after they stopped fighting so perhaps that wasn't the best example.
The point was, all couples fought and now the phrase "fight like an old marry couple" made sense. A long marriage was a successful one, right? And if old couples fought then successful couples fought. Love was fighting and degrading each other which made Hermione and Ron the perfect couple.
As Harry watched the newly engaged couple fight over the diamond ring - Hermione thought it was too much and Ron thought she wasn't grateful - everything made sense. . . yet it didn't make sense. Then again, did it really matter what made sense? Love was fighting and that was that.
With a resigned sigh, Harry got up and left the room, feeling his fragile heart break.
If only he had decided to fight with Hermione a bit more.
