Prompt/Pairing: Albus/OC/Louis

Flower: Yew - Sorrow

Blue Violet - Faithfulness

Albus Potter is not a child.

He doesn't get attached, to things and call it love. No, he's an adult now, in Wizarding Law, at least. He can tell the difference between longing and love. One is simply cosmetic, in a way. A lust for something because it looks pretty. Love, however, is something simply…what is the word…unattainable.

Albus Potter is also a hypocrite.

Because he's been so desperate for her since he first set eyes on her.

He's tried many times to catch her attention the normal way: leaving notes; putting a pretty blue flower on her desk, just talking to her, but of course, his little Hufflepuff Princess is oblivious to love - no not love, longing. Maybe it's fault, being so cryptic at times, but after all, it's just 'kiddie-love'. Nothing ever come from it. You grow up, and find someone on your level, get married, and all that jazz.

Albus Potter grew up.

And he still wanted her.

But alas, the wonderful and heart wrenching twist - she wanted another.

And she was scared of him.

It seems quite preposterous at first - who could be scared of little old Al? Why, he's a lovely child - not child, adult - he's exceptionally intelligent, ambitious, diligent, and his father a hero of heroes. But my my Al, aren't you missing something very important?

Of course.

Slytherin. Noun. Commonly associated with those of dark, brooding natures who are willing to manipulate someone or something for personal gain.

But it makes little sense as to why she would fall for him.

Till he remembers another important thing…

Gryffindor. Noun. Commonly associated with bravery, charisma, and heroes in general.
People like his father in general.

And that's why it hurts just that little bit extra when he sees a small, heart-shaped engraving on a nearby yew tree.

Lou

And he just knows it's love, because unlike his own twisted lust for her, there is one very important thing -

it's mutual.

AN: You know, originally I was going to have Albus turn into some crazy stalker, until I found out how incredibly hard it is write him like that while retaining sympathy.

So I just made him...uh, like this I guess :/
