"Ah, Harry. It's time to talk."
"Yes Professor?"
"I've seen you getting close to the Malfoy girl."
"Well... I-I mean... We fight a lot but I kind of... Um... It's complicated."
"Yes... Yes, it often can be."
"You... Don't approve?"
"Oh, quite the opposite. I approve, Harry. All I ever wanted for you is your happiness. The world is a cruel place, and you must make cruel decisions-Even with good intentions, people can get hurt."
"Professor?"
"Hm? Oh, nothing. Something... Something to talk about later. I just wanted to say I'm very glad you two are... Becoming close. It won't be easy, you know."
"Has my life ever been easy?"
"Heh... No. But it is good you have gained wisdom from your hardship, Harry. And part of that... Is recognizing that you much seize the chances for joy that life presents. Don't hesitate, Harry... Love is worth it."
"I-I don't know if it's love yet... I mean, we've been through so much-"
"Yes... But if you had to put a name to it... It would be love."
