"What film always makes me cry?"
"I don't recall any … I like watching comedy films and I've laughed till I cried, but I've not cried watching sad films. I don't tend to watch much of those. Pansy, you don't cry either, yeah?" Harry asked.
"I can't say that I have."
"Oh!"
"What?"
"Do you remember that time I freaked out when I saw you crying silently in bed, in the dark, watching something on your phone? It was disorienting because you rarely cry, ever. I think it was 'The Dodo' videos, the videos about those poor animals, your achilles heels. I think that's the only time I ever see you cry."
"How can you not cry at those, Harry? Have I married a monster?"
"They're sad but those animals got their happy ending so I just feel like it's not something to cry about."
Pansy gasp in mock horror.
"Leave a comment down below if you think I've married a monster!"
Harry chuckled.
"What drink do I always order?"
"I don't drink alcohol so it's between water or tea but none of those herbal or decaf ones," Pansy said, wrinkling her nose. She can't stand herbal teas, they taste like dirty dishrag to her and decaf ones, what's the point?
"Harry tries to avoid alcohol as well, he's a bit of a lightweight. The last time he got roaring drunk we were at his office christmas party. I was chatting with a friend I hadn't seen in awhile and suddenly, I heard a frantic Tom, Harry's colleague, calling my name. Harry was starting to —,"
"Wait, no, stop," In horror, Harry tried to stop Pansy from telling the next part by clamping his hand on her mouth but she licked his palm and Harry released his hands in disgust, "urgh!"
" — undress himself in public because he was hot. I had to take him home straight after," Pansy finished hurriedly, in case Harry wanted to stop her again.
Harry groaned into his palm, "why did you have to tell them that, they don't need to know that."
Pansy laughed.
She didn't tell them the other bit though. Beside undressing himself, Harry was starting to do wandless magic and he'd quickly become a safety hazard. For the sake of preserving life, Pansy had to apparate side-along with Harry draped over her immediately back home and put him to bed.
Harry sighed, "Coffee. To answer the question, I order coffee."
"If I was collecting something, what would it be?"
"It has to be something small for me, movie stubs? Coffee cup sleeves?" Harry said.
"I don't think you notice but you collect old receipts and knick-knacks."
"Oh yeah, you're right."
"Mostly they serve a sentimental purpose, the milestones in your life I've observed. You're a sentimental man, Harry Potter," Pansy leaned over to give Harry a kiss on his cheek. Harry beamed.
"What about you?"
"Hmm, I'd probably collect crystals. I'm already a fiend for rings with stones on them so it's not much of a stretch."
"What is something you wish I didn't do?"
"This video?" Harry joked.
Pansy ignored Harry's comment, "Harry has an annoying habit of not closing things that he's opened like cabinet doors, switches, etc. It drives me mad."
He doesn't even close them magically, the lazy git.
Harry sheepishly replied, "Sorry about that."
"Where would I love to travel to?"
"Harry and I have actually discussed this and we'd love to holiday in Greece, I might even vlog about it. Tell us in the comments below if you'd like to see that video."
Pansy had been talking to Draco about going on holiday. Harry and her haven't had proper alone time together since their honeymoon since Harry's been busy with work and he pitched the idea of going to Greece together, a couples holiday.
Pansy secretly thinks Draco pitched them the idea because he needs a cover story to get Hermione in Greece to propose to her.
"What weird talent do I have?"
"Harry's weirdly good with animals, especially snakes. It's like he can speak to them," Pansy cast a knowing look over to Harry.
After all, he can talk to them.
Harry coughed.
"Pansy, hmmm .. You have very strong intuition. There's been a couple of times when you'd told me to be careful, and they're more serious than the usual 'be careful' I get usually before heading to work and true enough, things always get dangerous that day."
Pansy frowned. It was true.
Pansy will always be worried about Harry getting injured in the line of work but some days, that feeling in her stomach just gnaws at her and she'll be anxiously waiting for the other shoe to drop. She hates it when she's right.
"What's my nickname?"
"Harry or darling."
"Pans. If Harry's being irritating, he'll call me by a flower — Rose, Lily, Sunflower, Lotus, Blossom. He thinks he's being cute but I roll my eyes each time."
"I've never called you Lily."
".. oh right."
"What's my favorite book?"
"I'm not sure, I need to ask Hermione," Harry said.
"Well, I've been listening to Heart Berries by Terese Marie Mailhot on Audible, who is today's sponsor. Hermione recommended it to me actually. Audible is a website that allows you to listen to your favourite books on the go, on your commute to work, when you're doing laundry. They've tons of free audiobooks and if you use my affiliate link in the description below, you can get the first 3 months free!"
Harry will never get used to Pansy doing sponsored ads.
"What's my favorite colour?"
"Easy, green and silver," Pansy replied.
"I bleed red and gold." Harry said.
"What am I deathly afraid of?"
Back in school when they both faced a boggart, it became dementors for Harry and for Pansy,, it was her living alone in a big, dreary house. It then became Voldemort.
It hasn't been him for a long time now.
Harry held the hand that Pansy's reached out with and stroked the back of it softly. They looked at each other and shared a bittersweet smile.
"We've looked Death in the eye, we're not deathly afraid of anything anymore."
AN: I really hope to try and update once a week. 20-ish more questions to get through and I've been toying with the idea of expanding some of the snippets into full 'flashback' type oneshots. I'm really bad with writing because I only write when I'm motivated but I kinda want to challenge myself with topics which I'm not comfortable with. Reviews are always appreciated, no matter how late, tell me your thoughts!
