I feel I owe you guys and update and soon, but I'm stuck and I'm studying and I'm addicted to reading some amazing fanfics on here. Happy reading!


What's Love?

"Dad, what's love?"

"I'm sorry, what?"

"I said, um, what's love?"

"Were does this question come from?"

"Is just that we always say I love you, you know. We say it to you and mum and grangran and gramps and everyone in the family, but sometimes other people say it to some people, but not to others."

"Oh, okay. Er, Love is… um…"

"Yeah?"

"Well that answer varies according on who ask."

"What do you mean?"

"Well for me love is that special feeling you get on the pit of your stomach, and just when you think it can't intensify anymore, it goes ahead and does. And at the same time it makes me feel like I can't walk, talk, or even breathe, but in a good way, you know?"

"Not really, no."

"Okay, I'll try to explain myself better. Um, love is not a thing, but you can give it; sometimes it may seem it can run out, but I think it's infinite, when it does run out, it wasn't love. Love is a combination of trust and hope, bundled up in togetherness. You remember what trust and hope are, right?"

"Isn't hope what you feel when things are bad, but you know that they'll be good?"

"That's right. What about trust?"

"Trust is…"

"Trust is when you know that someone won't purposely hurt you. When you know that what the other person says is true; and sometimes when things are bad, you look towards the person you love and hope that things will turn out okay. Trust is being able to close your eyes and keep walking because someone is telling you were you'll step. Hope is being able to see the light in dark spaces. And love, well, love is being able to jump off a cliff for the person you trust, it's being able to hope that when you do jump, that person will catch you, love is being able to set everything aside for that special person, being able to see and feel them in everything you do. But I don't consider love an emotion, because emotions come and go, you can be sad now and in five minutes you can be happy, yet love is forever, once you're in it you can't get out of it, if you do, it's like daddy said, it wasn't love ."

"You're brilliant you know that, right?"

"But how can you love daddy and auntie Ginny and uncle G and gramps and everyone at the same time?"

"Love is infinite bud."

"And remember Hugh, you can love different people different ways. I don't love anyone else the same way I love your dad. And I love you and your sister differently than your cousins and your aunts and uncles."

"Can you love someone more?"

"Of course mate! Don't get me wrong bud, I love everyone in the family but your mum and you and your sister are my number ones."

"For me is a three way tie between you, your sister and your father."

"Love is complicated!"

"Hahahaha you have no idea buddy."

"Why is it so confusing?"

"Love is complicated because it makes us vulnerable. And vulnerability is a strange and normally shunned sentiment."

"But when it comes down to it, love is everything you can hope it is and more."


AN2: I hope the format wasn't confusing, just in case Hermione is the italics and Ron and Hugo are the regular font. Little Hugo is such a curious bug! :D Anyway in just over a month to go and we get to see the rest of Deathly Hallows! I'm so pumped!

PS. Remember your thoughts are important to me!
