Foreign Phrases

specifically french and latin, whoops. the two prettiest languages tbh imo. kinda big announcement at the bottom so don't forget to go there. see you there! enjoy the preferences lovelies <333333

Harry: "dum spiro spero" while I breathe, I hope.

You climbed up the astronomy tower, feeling the need to be away from all people, as far as you humanly could be. You have considered many factors into your plan, wait for nightfall when everyone was sleeping, climb into the one place where no one in their right mind would go in the dark night with sleep-addled vision, because of the million stairs you had to climb to get here. You stood there on the balcony, wondering where Harry was. You knew he was safe, he was with Ron and Hermione, who you knew would never let a single hair on his stupidly brave head get hurt if they could help it. You bit your lip, wishing you were with them. But Harry had insisted you stay at Hogwarts, where you would be safe. You winced inwardly, drawing your sleeves over the bruises and scars on your arms. So much for safety. A breath escaped your lips. Wherever you are, please come back home to me.

Ron: "forest fortuna adiuvat" fortune favors the brave.

Ron stood nervously on your doorstep, a bunch of flowers in his hands. His hair slicked back and his nose free of any dirt, he sniffled. The pollen from the flowers was starting to tickle his nose a little, but Hermione was sure they were your favorite. He took a deep breath to settle his nerves before raising a fist to knock on the door. The next instant footsteps were to be heard hurrying to it. Ron flicked a stray hair out of the way, not realizing how his fingers trembled slightly. Forget all the near-death experiences he's had. This day marked the day of his bravest moment, also the time his stomach made seven full somersaults in the few seconds you took to answer his knock. You stared at him in surprise before accepting the flowers with a laugh. Taking his hand as you walked down the drive, you reached up and ruffled his hair back to its usual state as he laughed along with you, all nerves gone.

Draco: "amor vincit omnia" love conquers all.

You didn't think that Draco would be the type to write in a diary, but he did. It wasn't a diary exactly, more like a collection of parchments that he scribbled his thoughts on in class or anywhere. There were good entries, memories that made him smile. There were also bad entries, things that made his eyes cloud over and his jaw set and you could see it in his face, he was in fight or flight mode. Still, no matter how many bad days he seemed to have, there was always one happy one, even if it was just about a ladybug he had found outside. There were plenty with she's pretty. reminder: research girls in library. will she notice me if i threw a piece of turkey at her? she probably will, just not in the good way. The last one was covered in grease spots, probably written in the Great Hall during a meal. In a way, it was nice to see that even though his days were dark sometimes, Draco loved intensely enough to see the light.

Fred: "veni vidi amari" we came, we saw, we loved.

If there was one thing the twins were known for, it was mischief. But they were also known for one more thing. Growing up with siblings, they learned to care for others, especially the younger ones. George was the more quiet one, preferring to avenge any bullying or harassing by pranking the offender till they got a taste of their own medicine. Fred, however was the more vocal one, standing up to anyone with a fiery temper when it crossed the line for him. It was one of the many things you loved about him. He wasn't afraid to love, he wasn't afraid to love fiercely. 

George: "mon coeur est a toi" my heart is yours.

You were getting a little worried now. For days on end, George Weasley had been gazing at you with such intensity that it scared you. At the time, you thought he was just getting lost in his own thought and just happened to be looking straight at you when he did. Then, in the corridors and in class, it never stopped and you felt a little uncomfortable about it but didn't approach him, thinking it was too awkward to do so. Until one day, when instead of staring at you like usual, he stood up and marched over to you. That's it, I give up! He said, exasperated. You could only look at him blankly. You might as well just tell me you hate me and that I'm a creep. Just toss me down to the ground and stomp on me for good measure. Because if you don't, I don't think I could ever get my heart back. It's entirely yours now, and goddamn is it stubborn!  In the end, you only ever ended up giving yours away to him too.

Neville: "plus forts ensemble" stronger together.

The one thing that you keep having to reminding Neville was that he was smart, kind and enough being just himself. But he always shook his head and said that even if he was enough on his own, he'd rather be enough with you. One time, he was determined to let you know what he meant by this and he took your hand and held it tight. He said that he was stronger when he was with you, more himself than he could ever be on his own. You brought out the best in him. You gazed at him for a while before squeezing his hand and smiling. You liked the sound of together anyways.

Oliver: "vers l'infini et au-dela" to infinity and beyond.

The rush of flying was everything to you and to spend the time when you were the most carefree and happy with Oliver made you ecstatic. Being able to share sheer joy with him meant the world to you and you made sure to have your fill of it. That's why you flew so much. With the wind in your hair and beating wildly on your face, with the one who you would give everything for beside you, the sound of his laughter mixing with yours, freefalling never felt more secure and in that moment, there was nothing that could stop you from reaching to the stars high above.
