Power of Love, eh? Well, there's one thing that comes bursting to mind for that ... Which meant yet another trip to the Department of Mysteries. Specifically - the Death Chamber. You know, I'd probably just find it boring to stay out of here by now. Er ... where was I? Oh! Right! Department of Mysteries in the Death Chamber! So, there I was sneaking into one room where there were rumors that the Unspeakables have found a way to talk with the spirits of those that have passed on. Well, I couldn't help but want to get your questions answered by one of the most well-known couples that used the power of love to help protect their child now, could I?
It gives me great pleasure to introduce James and Lily Potter, who will be answering your letters this month!
Dear SOUP,
What's this whole "power of love" thing? Isn't that like ... something from fairytales? I mean, whatever it is, it probably wouldn't work in the real world. I just don't see how it's at all possible. Maybe I'm just not a believer, I don't know.
Dubious About Love's Power
Dubious,
The power of love is not getting mad, but getting even. Especially if the one you love keeps putting prank potions in your shampoo. Now, Lily-Flower, we've talked about this already ... And yet it's still happening, James! Er, that was ... Sirius? I would believe that more if there were potions in your shampoo as well. Ah ... we've kinda ... gotten off-topic, Lily-Flower. What? Oh, right. Well, in all seriousness, to me the power of love is protecting those you love. Even if that means you give your life to keep them safe, I agree.
Lily and James
Dear Writers,
You always hear stories about the power couples, especially in Hogwarts. I think the power couple for Slytherin is Draco and Pansy, isn't it? Anyway, that wasn't what I wanted to ask. I wanted to ask what makes them power couples? Is it because they are in love? Or is it something else?
Power Couple Curiosity
PCC (no Lily-Flower, I'm not writing it out fully),
It depends on each power couple, I think. Lucy and Cissy were one because of their looks. James! Lucius and Narcissa were certainly not a power couple because of their looks alone! Your right, it was also because of their betrothal contract. James ... Well, you might have a point there. Some couples are power couples because of who they are with. Others are because you can see the connection between them and that makes them stronger. Especially in their magic. Like us! It was because of our connection that we fought You-Know-Who three times! And won each time! I ... am not sure how true that is or if it was just because we got lucky those times. Potter luck helps quite a bit, I guess. Anyway! There's more to it then that, but we'd be here all day if we told you everything that makes a power couple just that.
James and Lily
Ragna,
One of the other Gryffindors told me you'd been sneaking into the Department of Mysteries and were planning on doing so again this month. Could ... I mean ... I don't know what you're doing there but ... in one of the chambers, there's this veil thing and ... Would you pass on a message if possible? Just ... Let Padfoot, Mom, and Dad know I love them? Thanks.
Prongslet
Our Son,
Oh, baby, we're so proud of you! Couldn't be prouder, actually, Prongslet. There's no greater love than that of a parent for their child. Or godparent and child, Padfoot couldn't shut up about how wonderful you are, you know. We are sorry that we left you alone all these years, darling. But we can't say we would make a different decision if it was between us and you again. There is no greater power than love because love has the ability to heal the world. Love is innocent, it's … holding your son for the first time and knowing that you would fight to the death to protect them. Love is pure and light that drives the darkness away when it seems to be surrounding you. Everything love is, that night we used it to keep the person we loved most safe, Prongslet. And we know that you'll do the same for the people you love because that's the true power of love. Though, that doesn't mean we want to see you anytime soon, kiddo. Absolutely not! Live your life and meet someone who'll stay with you through the good and bad times. And who isn't afraid to exact revenge should you enrage her. Ignore your father, honey. I have a feeling that you wouldn't pure a baldness potion into your significant other's shampoo. I keep telling you, Lily-Flower, that was Sirius! Mhmm, whatever you say, James.
Harry, darling, know that we both love you. Sirius loves you too, son. We know you'll keep doing us proud too.
Mom and Dad
Well, you know how strange it is to get a hug from a spirit? Very. Very strange. Though, it is a wonderful feeling that I know Harry'll appreciate more than me just passing on a message. Which is it's own kind of reward.
Now, it's time to sneak back out and, hopefully, not get caught. Maybe I'll see what the Love Chamber has as a souvenir of this trip? Though ... I'll have to stop swiping things if I want to still fly under the radar, so to speak. Hopefully, this will be the last time for a while that I'll have to sneak in here. Until next time, everyone. Take care and tell your loved ones that you love them!
