Rating: T – for future chapters

Milestone: First Date

Harry and Daphne were walking along the edge of the river, hand-in hand. Harry had arrange a picnic for him and Daphne. The two had been dating for the past month, since the start of their fifth year. A few of the other students were still whispering behind their backs, but they had both learned to ignore them. Both he and Daphne were happy and that's all that mattered.

The two had began talking regularly soon after their first meeting, this turned into friendship and then over the holidays into a relationship. The two had taken their time to get to know each other and were both almost certain that they were meant for each other.

He wished that he could have planned some extravagant first date like she deserved, but there was only so much you could do at Hogwarts. They approached the picnic site that he had lied out with a blanket and a basket of food, which Dobby helped him make. Daphne gave a small gasp and hugged Harry's arm. "Oh its perfect Harry" she smiled as she kissed him on the cheek.

Harry smiled, relieved that she liked the idea. "Well, you know I can do anything perfect" he said jokingly with a small laugh, which Daphne returned. He helped her sit down, before sitting next to her and opening the basket, revealing sandwiches, crisps and other general picnic food items, along with Daphne's favourite, Liquorish Wands.

"You really do think of everything, don't you" she laughed as she took one of the wands and bit it. Harry nodded and stole a kiss off of her before sticking his tongue out at her with a grin. The two spent the next few hours talking, laughing and eating (along with the occasional kiss).

It wasn't long before the sun began to set over the lake, causing it to light up and turn the sky a deep red. Daphne rested her head on Harry's shoulder as he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer. "That really is beautiful" she said with a sigh.

"Not as beautiful as you" Harry added kissing her on the forehead, "I love you so much" he said with a smile.

Daphne smiled and wrapped both her arms around Harry, "Love you too" she said smiling back at him.

The two spent the next few hours together by the side of the lake, laying down, Daphne's head on Harry's chest looking at the moon and the stars together. "Like the night we first met" Daphne said with a smile.


A/N: Hope you enjoyed this chapter. The next one should be longer as it will involve a lot more information/dialogue, other characters will also make an appearance. I am still working out what exactly will happen in it right now (You can go read the challenge in the forum if you want to know what the next chapter will be about, don't want to spoil it for those who don't). Thank you to everyone who left comments, they were all positive and I am very grateful for that.
