Chapter 10

A few weeks later…

Roy walked over and sat beside Edward who was holding his wand over a bowl of oatmeal as it stirred itself as he read. Roy cleared his throat, trying to signal his presence to Edward who was still lost within his book.

Edward looked at Roy and smiled. "Good morning."

"Good morning to you too on this fine Saturday morning."

Edward raised an eyebrow, "What are you up to?"

"Nothing, I was just ready for the date you promised last week, since I let you study alone last weekend."

Edward though for a second. "I did say that, didn't I?"

"Yep, this weekend you are mine."

Edward blushed softly. "What do you have planned?"

"Many things. I just wish we had some alone time. There's so many people and some from my house are just jerks. I wish there was a quiet place for us to be alone."

Edward stood and grabbed Roy's hand, "follow me."

####

"Where are you taking me?'

"Just trust me."

Roy followed Ed, he walked down a corridor on the seventh floor and Roy paused. He never noticed a door down there before.

"Something wrong?" Edward asked.

This room where does it lead?"

Edward smiled and motioned for Roy to come over.

Roy walked closer.

"It's called the Room of Requirement. It only appears when you desire something. Neat, huh?" Ed smiled. "Fred and George Weasley told me about it."

Roy smirked. "You mean that you take advice from the class clowns."

Edward laughed, "Yeah, but they are nice and caring, even though they can drive you crazy at times." Edward looked at the door. "Let's look inside."

Roy and Edward walked in and it was a small library with a little window seat in the corner.

Roy smirked. "Is this your ideal romantic spot?"

Edward blushed. "No!" He said quickly. "I just thought it looked nice."

"Relax, it's cute. You forgot something though." Roy closed his eyes and thought about the object and the next moment a record player was in the corner, playing as old waltz. Roy offered his hand to Ed. "Care for a dance?"

Edward looked down. "I can't dance."

"Everyone can dance are you just scared that you are clumsy or scared that you don't know how to dance?"

"Both." Edward said to be safe.

"Then, can I teach you?"

Edward blushed, but slowly nodded.

Roy took Edward's hand. "Okay, we hold hands like this," Roy gently held Edward's automail hand. "Now your other hand either goes on my shoulder or upper arm, whichever you feel more comfortable with." Roy's hand landed on Edward's waist and Ed turned bright red for a minute. Roy gave Edward a few minutes to cool off before taking the lead. Roy led Edward into a slow waltz.

At first Edward was completely frightened, looking down the whole time to make sure he didn't step on Roy's feet.

Roy tilted Ed's chin up. "Focus only on my eyes, you are doing excellent, don't doubt your abilities."

Golden eyes locked with onyx black as they slow danced together.

Roy danced with Edward until the record stopped playing. Roy smiled, "Edward, can I…?"

Edward's lips met Roy's and they stood like that for a second when Edward pulled away, Roy was completely dazed.

"Thank you." Edward smiled.

Roy held Edward's hand. "Let's get ready for dinner."
