She smiles back at him, her emerald eyes shining with the reflections of swirls of fireworks from the sky.

Minerva takes a step towards him, and his soft lemon scent gently caresses her nose.
SIX
Albus, longing desperately for the nearness of her, brushes Minerva's hair with his fingertips.
FIVE
She slips her hand into his. The tender warmth rushes through her body like a summer breeze through a lush valley.
FOUR
They are locked in the moment; nothing else, no one else matters.
THREE

TWO
Neither can breathe. In an instant they feel as if they are melting into each other. Yes, this must be what they mean by falling in love.
ONE
Their lips become one in a moment of burning intensity. The world around them disappears into nothingness. There is no concept of time; there is only eternity.
"I love you, Albus."
"And I you, Minerva."
