A quick definition of fructus:

Fructus: The word fructus means "fruits" in Latin. In Roman and civil law, it refers to the natural produce of land and animals, and the profit or increase from them. The owner of the land or animals acquired ownership by separating the fruit from the parent body. A bona fide possessor or an emphyteuta also acquired ownership by separation, which allowed a non-owner to claim title from a thief. However, a tenant or usufructuary acquired title only by receiving the fruits, and cannot claim title from a thief.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Fructus (pronounced fruhk-tuhs) is a Latin term that means "fruits". In Roman and civil law, it refers to the natural produce of land and animals, or the profit or increase from land and animals.

Examples: If a farmer grows apples on his land, the apples are considered fructus. If a rancher raises cows, the milk and meat from the cows are considered fructus. In both cases, the owner of the land or animals has ownership of the fructus.

In Justinian's law, a bona fide possessor (someone who possesses something in good faith) can also acquire ownership of fructus by separatio, which means separating the fruit from the parent body. For example, if someone steals apples from a farmer's land and sells them to a grocery store, the grocery store can claim ownership of the apples if they acquired them in good faith. However, the bona fide possessor must account to the successful claimant for ownership of the principal thing (the land or animals) and any unconsumed fructus.

If a tenant or usufructuary (someone who has the right to use and enjoy someone else's property) wants to acquire ownership of fructus, they can only do so by perceptio, which means actually consuming or using the fructus. They cannot claim ownership of fructus from a thief.

Explanation: Fructus refers to the natural produce or profit from land and animals. The examples illustrate how fructus can apply to different types of agriculture and animal husbandry. The legal concepts of separatio and perceptio show how ownership of fructus can be acquired in different ways, depending on the circumstances.

Man, idk why I am watching so much Harry Potter this week. I must be a real Potter-head. Or maybe I am just horny for the boy who lived. Anyway, ChatGPT, write me a Harry Potter fan fic.
Sure! Here’s a short Harry Potter fan fiction that takes place a few years after the Battle of Hogwarts. It features a new mystery at the castle, with familiar faces and a hint of magic yet unknown. --- **Title: The Forgotten Wing** *Set: Five years after the Battle of Hogwarts* --- The war was over. Hogwarts stood proud again, its towers reaching defiantly into the sky, as though daring anyone to try breaking it again. The castle had scars, yes—but so did everyone. Hermione Granger returned not as a student, but as a visiting researcher. The Ministry had granted her special access to the Restricted Section and certain forgotten corridors of the castle for her work in magical archaeology. She walked the halls with familiarity and reverence, her fingers brushing over cold stone walls. One evening, as the sun sank behind the Forbidden Forest, she found herself in a part of the castle that had no name on the Marauder’s Map. "Curious," she muttered, lighting her wand. "Lumos." She
She had been following a footnote in The Atlas of Hidden Magic, referencing something called the Aeon Wing—a part of the castle said to appear only when truly needed. As she stepped through a narrow archway near the third floor, she felt her wand buzz, then flicker. The stone beneath her feet shimmered. And then she was no longer alone. "Still chasing secrets, Granger?" a familiar voice drawled. Hermione turned to see Draco Malfoy leaning against the wall, wand in hand, but not pointed at her. "You're not supposed to be here." "Neither are you," he said. "Unless you're the Ministry's idea of security now." Hermione frowned. "Why are you here?" Draco stepped forward, his expression unreadable. "Same as you. I've heard the rumors about the Aeon Wing. Only difference is, I’ve seen it before. Once." Hermione's eyes widened. "When?" "The night before the final battle. I was trying to run. It appeared. I didn’t understand it then. But I think... it wanted to help me." A door shimme
A door shimmered into view at the end of the corridor. "Do you think it's safe?" Hermione whispered. Draco gave a crooked smirk. "Nothing at Hogwarts is ever truly safe." They stepped forward together. Inside was not what they expected: books floated freely in the air, pages fluttering, whispering. A tall mirror stood in the center, not The Mirror of Erised, but one far older, framed in starlight and carved wood. It showed not desires—but possibilities. And in it, Hermione saw herself—not at the Ministry, not chasing promotion—but teaching. Protecting. Helping Hogwarts thrive again. Draco saw himself too. No longer an outcast or the son of a Death Eater—but simply a man making things right. "What is this place?" she asked. Draco didn’t answer right away. “A second chance, maybe.” The mirror pulsed, and a book floated to Hermione. She caught it. Its title: The Founders' Secrets. Her heart raced. "This isn’t the end of Hogwarts’ story," she said. Draco nodded. "Then maybe it’s
Draco nodded. "Then maybe it’s time we helped write the next chapter." End. Let me know if you'd like it longer, darker, more romantic, or if you want it to follow a different character!
Wow, now that's the stuff.
