"You do know who my aunt is, don't you?"

Looking up and catching the amusement in Susan's brown eyes, Harry nodded.

"Yes, I do," he informed. "Your aunt is Amelia Bones, head of the department of Magical Law Enforcement in the Ministry of Magic."

Susan smiled, raising one hand and flicking his nose lightly.

"In that case, you know that she can have you arrested faster than you can say 'Expelliarmus'. What makes you stay with me? Is it the fact that I'm 'forbidden' or because you can get connections through me?" She asked, brown eyes expressing curiosity and a bit of sorrow.

Harry frowned, standing up abruptly from his place on their shared couch and reached out to thread his hands lightly through her flaming red hair.

"Neither," he began, grimacing at the mere notion. "I love you for you, not because of who your aunt is. It actually offends me that you'd think I'd care about something so trivial."

Susan smiled, warmth radiating through her entire being as she wrapped her arms around him.

"I love you, Harry," she whispered into his ear, breath tickling the lobe. Harry grinned softly, wrapping his arms around her hips.

"I love you, too."
