Love

)O(

Lily was badly offended when Scorpius told her that it scared him how much he loved her.

"It's not supposed to be 'scary'," Lily said. "Proper love is supposed to be all pretty and nice and–"

"Boring," Scorpius finished.

"What? No!"

"Boring. That's what they want you to think, that it's boring. Believe me…" Scorpius's lip twisted. "It isn't. Real love is about as frightening as it can get. Which is why I know I love you."
