Summary
“You’re very brave,” Harry said softly.“It’s the first time I’ve heard it.” The side of her lips twitched, but she wasn’t really smiling. He couldn’t tell if she believed him or not.“Well they don’t know you.” A sudden and terrifying ache covers his chest. A sharp pain, like he’d walked through a rose bush, and a hundred thorns jabbed at it.Pansy smiled, then. And he must have never seen her smile before, certainly not like that. Her entire face opened up at once. The smile so big and wide it stretched across her entire face, made it harder for him to notice anything but the straight, white line of her teeth, the slight dip on her cheeks, the crinkle on the bridge of her nose. Her face was more round than sharp then, her eyes were clearer, pupils dilated, bright with joy.And then another thought, terrifyingly sharp, came to him. He didn’t really want anyone else to know her.
[OR, Love, like magic, has a distinct gravitational pull to it. It simmers, it buzzes, it shrieks like a thing that’s alive inside you.]
