Love Languages

Had a though about which love languages each of the boys would subscribe to (receiving, not giving, if you want me to make that one I probably can)

People mentioned: Harry, Fred, George, Neville, Ron, Oliver, Draco

Harry

• Harry likes physical touch.
• As a child he barely got any affection from people, and he was initially uncomfortable showing much of any physical affection
• However, once you openly showed him said affection, the two of you were attached at the hip.
• It does not matter where you are, if your in the same room, your probably touching in some way.
• If it’s a large public setting, it’s likely just pinkies, hands, or arms that are linked. But in the presence of close friends he’ll gladly return a hug, and when you’re alone it’s an entirely different story.
• He will literally flop on top of you, hold onto you, and hold you until you’ve both fallen asleep.
• He also enjoys sitting on your lap or you sitting on his lap.
• Stroke his hair or run your fingers on his face or over his eyes and he will melt
• Anyways yea Harry is a cuddle whore

Fred

• Fred likes quality time
• You don’t always spend every moment next to each other, boundaries are really important to both of you and you both respect those boundaries.
• But when you are together, it is the best time either of you could have.
• Sneaking into the kitchens at 3 am to eat sweets.
• Shopping at Hogsmeade, getting butterbeer, watching muggle movies
• If you like practical jokes you gladly take part in them, if not then he respects that.
• Sometimes he just wants someone to listen to him.
• So he’ll lay next to you and just talk, for hours.
• About school, about his latest pranks, about family.
• If you can use the time you have together in a way that makes you both happy, then he will love you forever.
• To him, it’s not about the amount of time you spend with him, it’s about what you both do with it.

George

• George likes words of affirmation- he always feels like he lives in his siblings shadow
• Occasionally that means living in Fred’s shadow too.
• People never really acknowledge them as separate people, and sometimes he needs reassurance that someone sees him as an individual.
• Telling him on a daily basis, that you see him as a separate person, even if you don’t have to say those exact words, is important to him.
• He also just really likes hearing that you believe in and love him
• Within 2 weeks of you dating he greets you with an “I love you.”
• And at first he freezes when he realizes what it is that he said.
• But when you reply with reciprocation he melts.
• The first time you tell him you love him, he practically combusts with happiness.
• This could also translate to a praise kink but we’re not gonna talk about that rn ;)

Neville

• Neville prefers gifts
• Not necessarily expensive ones, just small little things, trinkets and such
• If you just hand him a shiny rock he lets out this little trill of happiness and adds it to his collection alongside his plants
• If you give him a plant he’ll fucking collapse.
• Once when you came back from a trip over Christmas, you gave him seeds to a rare plant that wasn’t found in Europe, he nearly burst from excitement
• That was the first time he kissed you in public
• He also really likes candy and once when you brought him these little rock candies that were only found in muggle stores he practically ripped the wrapper off and shoved them into his mouth.
• (He shared of course)
• Neville often gets his fathers hand-me-downs, and while he enjoys them, it sucks that his grandmother refuses to buy him anything of his own
• So when you buy him a sweater and a pair of slacks he almost cries
• Sugar baby Neville au i said what i said

Ron

• Ron likes acts of service
• A lot of it is when you help him with things like homework
• Sometimes Hermione is too tired or unwilling to and when you step in to help where you can, its like a little piece of him falls in love with you all over again
• But part of it is other forms of service
• A few months before you were together, Ron had a really bad day and returned to the common room with a huge headache, and when you offered to give him a head massage he decided he was gonna ask you out
• Sometimes just running your hands through his hair after a long day makes him absolutely melt into the couch cushions
• He also often gets homesick, especially when it comes to food, and if you cook or bake for him, he practically jumps in the fucking air
• You called his mom once to get a recipe for these Christmas cookies that he missed since he couldn’t go home for Christmas one year and if you both hadn’t been in public he would have cried
• When you brought him homemade candies he did cry (he’d had a long day, let him live)
• But yea sometimes he just needs someone to take care of him nothing wrong with that my dudes

Oliver

• Oliver likes an even mix of gifts and and acts of service tbh
• Often for Christmas or his birthday you’ll get him a new broom servicing kit or a book about Puddlemere United
• One year you managed to get one of his favorite books signed by some of Puddlemere’s players
• When you presented it to him he tackled you in a hug so tight you thought your lungs would pop.
• He also really likes trying new candies so you get him a subscription box where he can try new ones from around the world and the two of you spend a few days every month trying new candies together for a year.
• When it comes to acts of service its a little more physical
• Quidditch takes a toll on a person’s body so often he’ll come back from a game or a practice and just collapse.
• So if you give him a massage he’ll practically sink into the bed.
• Dude is just tired sometimes give him a break

Draco

• Draco is probably into words of affirmation
• I think people would assume it’s gifts but that’s actually how he shows love to other people because that’s how his parents showed love to him even though it’s not necessarily what he wants
• But yeah I think Draco sometimes deals with a lot of shit especially during 6-7 year and so he’s probably stressed as shit
• And feeling really guilty about what he’s having to do
• But he feels like he has no choice or else he and his parents are going to die.
• So sometimes he just needs reassurance that he’s not a terrible person
• Occasionally after working on the cabinet in the ROR he’ll just go to you and collapse on your shoulder and start sobbing
• Sometimes just making sure he knows that he’s okay and that he’s loved will make him want to cry
• Anyways Draco Malfoy redemption arc
