Flowerpot

Of Music and Tastes

Harry’s childhood never gave him the chance to discover or develop his taste in music

When Fleur and her family discuss artists or works, he feels inadvertently left out, unable to offer an opinion on something he knows nothing about

One night, as they lay together in bed, just cuddling and talking, he opens up to Fleur, telling her of his lack of experience, of his insecurity and cluelessness when it comes to the musical side of the arts

Fleur promises to help him find his favorite tunes

The next day, she drags him with her into her family’s collection of music. It is incredibly diverse, the by-product of having four people with widely differing tastes in the musical arts

They spend the day going through different kinds of music. Pop and rock, jazz and reggae, classics and shanties, Beethoven and Jimmy Hendrix, the whole works

The sun had begun to set, casting the sky in brilliant oranges and reds, yet nothing had clicked for Harry. He didn't dislike anything, but nothing stood out to him

Yet he didn't care. For you see, Fleur had sung along to the songs she knew, or hummed to those she didn't

And her voice had left him enthralled

It turned out Harry did have a taste in music.

The music of his love, his life, his Fleur

And that was all he needed.
