James and Hugo did not have the basis for a relationship that many of their friends did.

They hadn't been childhood friends - it was always James and Roxanne, Hugo and Lily. They were in different houses. James was a Gryffindor, Hugo a Hufflepuff. They weren't the same age: James was three years older than Hugo. They didn't have all of the same interests: James loved Quidditch, and Hugo loved history.

People wondered how James and Hugo worked. 'They don't have anything in common! They'll never last'.

They had one thing in common, though: they loved each other unconditionally, more than they loved anybody else, and that was what mattered more than anything.
