A.N The date in this chapter is inspired by Mortal Instruments - the film which has lead me into the amazing books by Cassandra Clare.
Chapter Three
"Where are we going? I thought we were having supper with the others?" Harry frowned as he looked around the area they had apparated into, turning to meet Fabian's sparking blue eyes.
"I talked to the others and asked that they let us have tonight to ourselves. Sirius pouted, a lot until I pointed out that as he and Remus are staying here they are going to be able to pop around for supper when you are home in the evenings. Tonight is just for us," Fabian smiled brushing Harry's fringe out of his eyes.
"So what are we doing tonight?" Harry asked eagerly.
"Trust me?" Fabian asked.
"Always" Harry answered without thinking. He was rewarded with a gentle kiss before Fabian wrapped a blindfold around his eyes, typing the silk off behind his head. Harry hummed as Fabian took his hands and kissed the back of each one before he started leading him forwards.
Harry wasn't sure for how long they walked, but he was suddenly hit with the sweet smell of what only could be flowers, and what felt like a warming charm, which was why it made sense that Fabian had suggested he wore his summer robes despite the evenings being a little cooler now. The scent of flowers in the air was powerful, but not overwhelming, and Harry breathed it in as he followed behind Fabian to wherever he was leading him.
"Here we are," Fabian stepped behind him and undid the blind fold, letting it slip down and revealing to Harry the most amazing sight he had ever seen. They were standing in the centre of a garden, if it could be called that. Hundreds upon hundreds of different types of flowers and plants were surrounding them in a beautiful burst of colours and shapes, some clearly magical flowers, others Harry recognised and could name. His wide eyes roamed over the area trying to take everything in, not wanting to miss one detail.
"Do you like it?" Fabian asked nervously.
"Its...Its...I love you, thank you," Harry managed to tear his eyes away to lean up and kiss Fabian.
"I'm glad you like it," Fabian brushed his fingers against Harry's cheek even as Harry's eyes wandered to the sight around them again.
"Where are we?" He asked awed.
"A friend of mines loves flowers, he grows them, breeds new types, mixes them together. This, this is his baby, this is his life's work. He agreed to let me to show it to you tonight, and for this," Fabian motioned to the side of them where a table for two was laid out, with supper sitting ready for them.
"This is the perfect date," Harry laughed shaking his head.
"I'm glad I could please, now my husband may I offer you something to eat, some hopefully pleasant company and then maybe a walk around the gardens," Fabian led him over to the table and pulled his chair out for him.
"That is the perfect evening," Harry kissed him once more before he slipped into the seat and allowed Fabien to tuck it under him. "This is..."
"You remembered, I wasn't sure if you would," Fabian laughed as Harry looked down at their meal of macaroni and cheese with ham.
"Our first meal together, how could I forget?" Harry smiled. "Don't worry I won't tell Gideon how romantic you are,"
"That would be much appreciated, I would never hear the end of it," Fabian said with mock horror.
The two of them chatted easily as they ate, though both of them ignored the elephant in the room that was Harry's return to Hogwarts the next day. Despite the fact that Harry would wake up with Fabian and go to sleep in his arms, they were both aware of the fact that it would make a difference to their relationship, their honeymoon period was finishing tonight, and both of them wanted to make the most of it.
"No he didn't!" Fabian was laughing so hard he was almost crying.
"Yes, completely naked!" Harry nodded not far off the same state himself.
"Oh Merlin I am never going to be able to look at Ron the same ever again, never mind Hermione!"
"You wouldn't think it with that straight laced look she has going on would you," Harry grinned.
"Merlin no, and it was red?"
"With frills," Harry grinned nodding.
"Ah. I have missed this you know, just the two of us. I love our family but Merlin it is good to have you to myself," Fabian sighed taking Harry's hand.
"Thank Merlin I wasn't the only one feeling that way," Harry laughed running his fingers over the back of Fabian's softly.
"Ah its time!" Fabian smiled as a chime went through the garden.
"Time?" Harry asked looking around them.
"Come on," Fabian smiled softly, his blue eyes glowing in the soft lighting around them. Harry followed when he tugged on his hand leading him away from their table. They stopped a little bit away and Harry's confusion rose when the lights around them dimmed slowly and then went out.
"Fabian?"
"Just wait," Fabian wrapped his arms around Harry's waist and stood behind him. Feeling even more curious Harry waited to see what this was about, even as he cuddled back against Fabian, enjoying the warmth of his husband.
A second chime went through the garden, something which seemed to act as a signal for a change to take place over the garden. A flower not too far away from them suddenly let out a burst of sparks before the bud fully opened, the previously white flower glittering a soft gold, and like a wave moving over the garden the flowers all seemed to move, the flower opening wider and waving happily to the moon, sparks of gold, silver, white, red, green, orange and pink burst into the air over the garden as far as Harry and Fabian could see, green softly glowing vines and leaves rustled and started moving gracefully in a dance to a music only they seemed to be able to hear as the garden started coming to life.
Harry gasped and gazed around in wonder, reaching out to catch some silver sparks that came off of a rose nearby, watching as it glowed briefly before disappearing in his hand. His eyes looked over the garden trying to take it all in, gazing from one beautiful sight to the other until finally he turned to look at Fabian with a wide smile on his face.
"Its amazing," He gasped.
"I'm glad that you like it," Fabian brushed Harry's fringe back from his beautiful eyes which were glowing in the sparks falling all around them. Leaning down he gently brushed their lips together before kissing Harry deeply, pouring all his feelings and emotions that had been building and growing for his husband since the first time he laid eyes on him into the kiss.
"I love you, so much," Harry breathed out against Fabian's mouth as they parted.
"I love you too, you have no idea how happy I am that you said yes," Fabian smiled.
"You have no idea how happy I am that I said yes," Harry laughed combing his fingers through Fabian's loose red hair.
"Whatever Dumbledore tried to throw at us, we can face, together," Fabian said so surely that Harry had to believe him.
"Thank you," Harry smiled wrapping his arms around Fabian and holding on tightly as he looked out over the beautiful garden again.
