Listens: What is this Feeling, Wicked

Saturday: D'awww or not D'awww, that is my question.

But what do we know of the heart nearest to our own? What do we know of our own heart?
Amelia Barr


Is there truly a heart in my chest? I know there's something there, forcing the blood through my veins, forcing oxygen into that blood, but is it truly a heart? I don't know that I feel love the way a normal person should, or a normal witch for that matter. I do, however, know that I love some things, and some people. I love my friends, they're the only family I have left, and they've accepted me back after running away for so long. I love my "nieces" and my "nephews". I have to put that into quotation marks because they are not mine by blood, but because they choose to love me as their Aunty Mione. I would give my life to protect them, just as I did as a teenager to protect the entire wizarding world. But to truly love someone, a man as a husband specifically, I don't know that I can. I suppose it's partly because of Ronald. When he hurt me, he ripped out a gigantic piece of my heart, and I've never been able to repair it.

Wow. I guess that settles it. I do have a heart, it's just broken.
