"Lils," Hugo said quietly, aware that if he talked too loud, the librarian would come hurrying over to tell him off. "Have you ever fell in love with somebody who you really shouldn't have?"

Lily snorted. "Hello, Hugo? Have you forgotten about my crush on Scorpius, who my cousin is dating? I think that counts."

"I suppose," he agreed, although secretly, he was thinking it wasn't the same at all, because his attraction to Lily was much more forbidden than Lily's schoolgirl crush on Rose's boyfriend. But he didn't say anything, for fear she'd hurry out and they'd never talk again, and as a result, she never knew how he felt.
