"Why does it have to be a heart anyways?" the boy whined, holding his chin with the palm of his hand.

"Because that's how some people express their love."

"By giving their hearts?" Harry traced his chest in fright and Severus rolled his eyes.

"Metaphorically." he informed the pale looking child and drew his wand.

"I don't understand, why would I give my heart to someone, but not really give it to them? It doesn't count if I trick them into believing that I gave them my heart... When I still have it."

"It doesn't quite work like that, Harry." the potion master said.

"Then how does it work? Why can't it be a circle if it's not really a heart?"

a one shot respond to Spring Fic Fest!4.That comment was darker than my wardrobe.

In Severus's opinion time was such a malicious thing. Some thought it would effect people, after all humans aged as the time passed, human's functionality was based on time itself.
Out of all of the manor's residence, well the dungeons anyway, Potter seemed to be the only one also coming to the same conclusion.
time meant hope for a better future.
