And it was those who loved the most, those who was by love possessed. It was them that the frost took.

“We all want to matter and belong.”

We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.

What does dating Luna Lovegood mean (a list by Ginny Weasley):
You will get a flower crown at least once a week.
Your flat will be full of color and too many pillows.
Matching clothes. You will get lots of cool sunglasses.
Sweet nothings and weird nicknames.
One attempt to get a pet a month. It never works.
Books in bed, books on bed, books under bed.
Braiding and pretty hairstyles. You should definitely try to steal some of her too pretty hairclips.
Lots of herbal tea, too sweet for your taste.
Drinking the poshest wine you could get in your very not posh flat at nights.
Spending hours talking about mermaids and sea. You think she’s a real mermaid too.
Changing walls’ color every week to match the mood.
Long autumn walks hand in hand. She cringes at the bitter taste of coffee and you kiss her.
Pillow fights.
Trying to get used to her dying her hair in the most ridiculous colors without any warning.
Glitter in all of your stuff. Eventually, you love glitter.
The best support at quidditch matches.
So many blankets that someone might think you live in a fridge. They all have different patterns as well.
You become professional at making fruit salads because she loves fruits to death.
Jumping off a cliff into a lake at midnight.
Teaching her to fly. You know she can fly and yet regularly asks you to teach her. You never say no.
Wishing you could write love poetry for her.
Her smile means the world to you.
You’re so in love that it almost hurts.
Chances are, you are dating the most wonderful girl on the Earth.

Linny? Or Free?
(I’m going to do Free because I have another ask in my inbox for Linny!)
Who’s more dominant:
Lee’s not exactly “dominant” in the strictest sense, but he does have Fred wrapped around his finger, so…. Lee
Who’s the cuddler:
That would be Fred. He comes from a very affectionate family and it takes Lee a while to get used to it, but once he does, he loves it.
Who’s the big spoon/little spoon:
Fred is the big spoon. Holding Lee is pretty much his favorite pastime :)
What’s their favorite non-sexual activity:
Sneaking around the castle late at night. Most nights, they go with George, but occassionally they sneak off, just the two of them.
Who uses all the hot water:
Fred. Growing up in a family with eight other people, and then in a shared dorm, he could never take very long showers. So once he and Lee move into their own place, he indulges.
Most trivial thing they fight over:
Probably over who was supposed to go grocery shopping.
Who does most of the cleaning:
They both clean, but Fred sometimes makes a mess when he’s doing experiments and Lee will clean up after him after Fred goes to bed.
What has a season pass on their dvr/Who controls the netflix queue:
Arthur buys them a muggle TV as a housewarming gift and it takes them a few months to sort out how to work it. But after they do, Lee is usually in charge of it.
Who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working:
Lee. Fred is usually busy with the shop and Lee has a better phone voice.
Who leaves their stuff around:
Fred. The new products he and George are trying out almost always end up on every flat surface available.
Who remembers to buy the milk:
Lee remembers to put it on the list, then forgets to take the list with him, so Fred usually ends up having to make a special trip.
Who remembers anniversaries:
Fred. Lee insists they don’t really HAVE an anniversary, since they just ended up together without any big “now we’re dating moment” but Fred argues that all of their firsts are anniversaries (first time they met, first kiss, first time they went out just the two of them, first time they had sex, etc.)
Who cooks normally:
Fred picked up some tips from his mother and Lee from his father, so they trade off depending on who has the time.
How often do they fight:
Not very often. They occasionally get frustrated with each other, but it rarely devolves into a full on fight.
What do they do when they’re away from each other:
Fred listens to Lee’s daily radio show and Lee re-reads the notes and letters that Fred has sent him. They also do their best to write each other.
Nicknames for each other:
They affectionately insult each other (’dunce’ ‘idiot’ ‘neanderthal’) but Fred will occasionally throw in a ‘babe’ or ‘love’.
Who is more likely to pay for dinner:
Lee. In the beginning at least. He knows that the money issue is a sensitive subject with Fred and always tries to make it seem like him paying isn’t a big deal, he just got to the check first. But after the shop starts doing well, Fred starts being more insistent about paying because that was never a luxury he had before, and Lee lets him.
Who steals the covers at night:
Honestly, it’s a fight. Lee will steal the covers, then Fred will steal them back, then Lee will, then Fred… in the end, they’re just a tangle of limbs and blankets.
What would they get each other for gifts:
Lee gets rare ingredients for Fred and George to experiment with, and Fred buys Lee recording instruments to help him establish his own independent radio show.
Who kissed who first:
Lee kissed Fred. It was after a Quidditch game that Gryffindor won.
Who made the first move:
I guess Lee because it was pretty much that first kiss that started their relationship.
Who remembers things:
Lee has an amazing memory, but Fred doesn’t forget a lot either.
Who started the relationship:
It just kind of happened? Lee kissed Fred and after that they just sort of fell in together. There was never an official “we’re dating” talk; it was just a given.
Who cusses more:
Ha. Lee.
What would they do if the other one was hurt:
Lee is pretty used to Fred being injured (Fred’s a Quidditch player after all), so he tends to stay calm. Assess the situation. Get Fred the help he needs.
Fred freaks out a bit more. So he hovers. He dotes. It would literally take a seven nation army to keep him from Lee’s side.
Who is the dirty talker:
Lee. He’s always had a way with words ;)
A head canon:
Lee is one of the few people who have always been able to tell Fred and George apart.
By Sirius (the raddest dude ever) Black
1. The face he gives me when I make a really stupid joke
2. The face he gives me when HE tells a really stupid joke
3. The way he speaks, he’s very articulate
4. His different kinds of smiles. He has a smile for when I’m sad, and he wants me to cheer up. He has a smile for when he’s so genuinely happy and we’re having a good time. He has a smile for when he’s trying not to smile. He has a smile for every different type of occasion and my plan is to see them all.
5. Sometimes when I flirt with him, he smirks back at me and we have a good time. Other times he flips me off and tells me to go away.
6. The face he makes when he is concentrating on school work or a good book.
7. The face he gives me when I give him chocolate.
8.His face when he sees the first snow of the season. He looks like a fascinated child. It really does take me back to when we were eleven.
9. How sometimes he can be so childlike and he can goof around with James and Peter and I.
10. And other times he can put on his prefect face and he likes to tell us what to do.
11. His blowjobs.
12. The way he looks up at me when he’s giving me a blowjob.
13. The way he says my name.
14. When I’m sick he takes care of me.
15. His moans.
16. How he looks in that one jumper. (You know the one)
17. His presents he gives me. He’s no good at buying presents, but it’s cute to see him try.
18. The way he looks in my clothes.
19. When he gets angry and his face gets a little blotchy and he yells at me and I just want him to push me against a wall.
20. The way he lights up when I ask him about a book he’s reading.
21. When he wants it, he’ll either drop me very subtle hints, or be very demanding about it. He sometimes will glance at my lips as I’m talking. Other times, he’ll bit his lip. He’ll take off his sweater and make sure it sticks to his shirt a bit so I can see his stomach as he takes it off. He’ll wiggle his hips a bit.
22. I’m very sappy, and I appreciate that he puts up with it.
23. He lets me talk about the next prank I’m planning with James, or he’ll let me talk about my bike, or he just let’s me talk about whatever is on my mind.
24. When I’m upset, I sometimes just like to be in the same room with him. No talking, no nothing.
25. His fucking (bisexual) finger guns
26. His hair. His messy, curly, bouncy hair.
27. His scars. Every one of them. They make him look pretty badass.
27. Speaking of badass, he can be, but he also can be quite the opposite of that.
28. We argue about the silliest things, but he would never hurt me.
29. His nose. It’s very cute. I can’t really explain it.
30. I know he has brown eyes. I know he says brown eyes can’t be pretty. But I swear to god, his brown eyes are the prettiest I’ve ever seen.
31. He may be a lot taller than me, but he’s skinny. I like to get in tickle fights with him (or we wrestle sometimes) because I always win.
32. When he’s wrong, he can tell me he’s wrong. (That’s something I really need to work on)
33. He has the most veins in his arms than anyone I’ve ever seen and honestly it’s a turn on.
34. Like I said, he’s tall. I love standing next to him because I feel very protected.
35. He doesn’t make fun of me because I talk in my sleep.
36. When we cuddle, I sometimes grind my butt into him and he gets frustrated and it’s very funny to see him flustered.
37. When I have nightmares, he’ll gladly share his bed.
38. We both like the room cold when we sleep.
39. He’s a blanket hog but it’s okay because I love him.
40. That kiss he gives me right after he smokes, it tastes like the best drug out there.
41. He’ll take care of me when I’m drunk.
42. He smells like his mum’s house, vanilla, and old books. And occasionally pumpkin spice. (My favourite)
43. He doesn’t get jealous of me and James’ relationship. (Why should he after all, James is my brother)
44. He’s jealous, but not too jealous, he’s overprotective, but not too overprotective.
45. When he tries to make me do my schoolwork and plays teacher and it really gives me a boner.
By Remus Lupin
He takes forever to get ready. He over thinks what he wants to wear and it takes way longer then it needs to
He’s good at explaining how he feels. He doesn’t have to think about talking, he just talks. It comes naturally to him to tell me how he feels.
He’s good at holding a conversation
He gives good handjobs
He likes to act like he’s big and bad but he’s really not
He loves animals
I love playing with his hair
He’s clingy, but not too clingy
He can be sappy when the time is right
His eyes are really pretty
I remember one time I told him I loved his eyes and he laughed really hard
He’s not embarrassed to be gay, like, at all.
He’ll proudly walk around with hickeys
Or he’ll hold my hand in the hallways
His moans are v sexy
He’s kind of bad at sexting but I would never tell him that
One time I told him that I wanted to sneak into Professor McGonagall’s office and bang him on her desk
He said, “That’s pretty ace, mate”
He scrunches up his face when he gets annoyed with me
He’s a drama queen
He doesn’t even have to try to be fucking sexy
His morning breath
His after-sex hair
His entire body is beautiful omf
He doesn’t even have to study to get good grades
He’s just so smart
He’s very loyal
Not only is he my best friend, he’s the person I’m going to marry
He’s right there after every full moon
Seriously, right there
Madam Pomfrey once told him he couldn’t be in there past visiting hours so he had Lily punch him in the face
That was towards the beginning, now she happily let’s him stay with me because he knows it makes my recovery less sucky.
He can be a little bitch in bed and it’s sexy
This is very sexual sorry not sorry
Whenever I’m upset he let’s me see Padfoot and it’s great.
He loves me for who I am
Scars and all
The End
My heart.....
can’t we find some love to take this away
