This is so stupid.
You can't be in love with Remus John Lupin. You hardly know Remus John Lupin.
And yet, now, you finally understand the phrase:
When you know, you know.
Now, you're in potions, waiting for class to start. Today is Amortentia day, which had been long-awaited among the 6th years.
A wonderful way to start the school year.
You sit with your best friend, Pandora. Your chin rests in your palm, as you stare at the chalkboard, casually pondering all of your life decisions.
How did you even manage to catch feelings for the one person you could never be able to have, the one person everyone wants?
It'd be a crime if you got to have him.
The masses would burn you at the stake!
Well, no, not actually.
Pandora, obviously noticing you're not paying attention, asks, "What's the problem, baby?"
You glance at her, expression blank.
Then, you're sitting up straighter, and the words are slipping from your lips urgently.
"What's the problem? I don't know! Well, maybe- I'm in love!"
She does well to hide her surprise.
And then she doesn't.
"LOVE?"
