"Hey, mate," Ron asked his friend, and secret crush, "how do you do it?"
"How do I do what?" Harry replied, his eyebrows furrowed. Currently Ron and Harry were sitting under the tree near the lake; the same tree Harry had seen in Severus Snape's pensive with the marauders sitting under. It was a nice day, and Harry had been laying on the ground, looking at the clouds and smiling about how nice the day was.
"How are you happy, how do you laugh, when you know you-know-who's after you?" Ron asked.
"I don't know, it's pretty hard to live with, you know," Harry said, "but I have such good friends," Harry smiled at Ron, who was also his secret crush, warmly, "to keep my mind off of it, and the thought that he's afraid of me helps a little bit."
Ron smiled back, "Too bad you don't have a bird to take your mind off of it, too," he said, sadly.
"I'm not sure I need a bird," Harry said, looking Ron in the eye, "maybe I already have someone," he said, "right in front of me." Harry looked at Ron hopefully, looking in his eyes you could tell he was ready for rejection
"You do," Ron said, leaning forward and placing his lips on Harry's. After a while, they were laying on the ground side by side and hand in hand, staring up at the sky with smiles on their faces, but not because of the wonderful day.
"So," Harry said, "as I said, it's pretty hard to live with, knowing Voldemort's after me."
"What about knowing you're a pouf who just snogged your best guy friend senseless and told him you loved him?" Ron asked, squeezing his new boyfriend's hand tightly.
"That," Harry said, "I can live with."
