A quick definition of usufruct:

Usufruct is when someone has the right to use and benefit from a property that belongs to someone else. The person who gets to use the property is called the usufructuary. They have to take care of the property and not damage it, unless it's something that naturally gets used up over time. There are two types of usufruct: perfect and imperfect. Perfect usufruct means using the property without changing it, while imperfect usufruct means using something that gets used up, like food or money. At the end of the usufruct, the usufructuary has to give back the same value or quantity and quality as when they started using it.

A more thorough explanation:

Usufruct is a legal term that refers to the right to use and benefit from a property that belongs to someone else. The person who enjoys the usufruct is called the usufructuary.

There are two types of usufruct:

  • Perfect usufruct: This is when the property is used without changing its nature. For example, if someone has the usufruct of a house, they can live in it and use it as if it were their own, but they cannot make any major changes to the structure of the house.
  • Imperfect usufruct or quasi-usufruct: This is when the property cannot be used without being consumed. For example, if someone has the usufruct of a fruit tree, they can eat the fruit that grows on the tree, but they cannot sell the tree or cut it down.

The usufructuary has a responsibility to take care of the property and not cause any damage to it. At the end of the usufruct, the property must be returned to the owner in the same condition as it was at the beginning of the usufruct.

For example, if someone has the usufruct of a car, they can use it to drive around, but they must maintain it properly and not cause any damage to it. When the usufruct ends, they must return the car to the owner in the same condition as it was when they first started using it.

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.
