There are moments in life when happiness feels like it is within reach. When all the pieces fall into place and you have made it out on the other side of whatever hell you have been through, the strength it has taken you to get there makes you feel nothing less than invincible.

The butterflies that have come back to life, as ridiculous as it may seem, make every step from Fred's dorm to mine feeling like I'm walking on cloud nine. After months of complications and drama, issues that have turned out to be about other people rather than us, everything has come to a calm space where everything is as it should be.

There are no grudges to be held or mistakes to be forgiven. My heart rests assured that this is proof that we will make it through anything, and as long as we love each other the best that we know how, we're going to be alright.

It is an odd thing to have feelings that don't fade even after months. After all this time, he is still the one person who can make me smile just by being mine. Our worst nights will still be better than the ones we would spend apart, because if we could find our way out of this mess, there is nothing that we can't get through. Rumours, potions and lies - nothing will tear us apart. I suppose that's what happens when someone becomes a permanent resident of your heart; a part of you will always be theirs and no one else's.

When I enter the common room, my first instinct is to head straight to the boys' dorms to find Cass, but I redirect my steps towards my own when I remember that one of his sweaters is still in my room. Since whatever we have been is about to come to an end, the easiest thing to do is to get it all over and done with at once.

The room is empty and I assume that Pansy is elsewhere doing who knows what, and I go through my stuff quite hastily to find the one shirt that doesn't belong to me. As soon as I find it and close my trunk, Pansy opens the door and eyes me curiously as if she has caught me in the middle of something that I shouldn't be doing.

"Hey, what's with the sweater?" she asks and looks me up and down once she seems to realise that I'm leaving, "You're giving it back? You've been wearing that almost every day"

"I'm going to end things with Cass" I say with a sigh, "I realised some things about everything that has happened, Fred and I talked and we're, well, we're moving on"

"From each other or together?" she asks, "I'm assuming that you figured everything out since you're breaking up with Cass, but how could you forgive Fred for everything?"

To someone who isn't inside of our relationship, a lot of the things that we do must seem too irrational even for love. The thing is that none of them know us. They don't know about the inside jokes or the hundred different ways we say 'I love you'. They have no idea how we have both been able to explain the faults behind our mistakes once we were both willing to listen, especially when no one else was.

Everyone else's solution has been for us to break up, give up, move on and find something less complicated. That has never been an option because when you find this kind of love, you don't give up, because there will never be another like it. It isn't always perfect, but it makes it worth all of love's imperfections.

"It turns out that a lot of it wasn't actually his fault, it's a bit... complicated" I mumble, "I'll explain everything later, I just have to do this first"
