Delilah POV
Woah…
I completely forgot that I was even standing on top top of the Owlery, the most foul smelling and dirty places in all the school.
Candles lined the circumference of the tower. They candles made the entire area light up considering today was a little bit gloomy outside. Red rose petals were drizzled around a picnic blanket that was sitting in the center of the tower. I was so amazed by the whole thing that I didn't even notice Lysander standing next to me at the top of the stairs.
"M'lady" he said offering me his hand.
I only giggled in return and took his hand. He led me to the picnic blanket and we both sat down. Lysander summoned a picnic basket that was stocked with pumpkin juice, sandwiches, and various candies.
"I'm on very good terms with the house elves in the kitchen." He winked then poured me a goblet of pumpkin juice.
"I don't even know what to say… This is just gorgeous." I said in awe. I met his eyes and began to feel me cheeks heat up. "No one's ever done something like this for me" I said looking down.
"Well I am not just someone. I am your aazing boyfried who cares about you so much and hopes that you trust him enough to tell him anything…?" He replied ending his sentence with a slight question. I knew we needed to talk about yesterday. I sighed. He realized my hesitance to share and quickly added, "please… I want to enjoy my time with, but I can't just ignore the elephant in the room."
He had a point. I sighed again. Deep breaths. You can trust him. I smiled slightly and began. I told him all about Victor and the depression he cause for me. I also told him about the dare between me and Albus. I promised him that it meant nothing.
Once I finished my whole story, there was silence. I was letting all this sink in with him. Truthfully, I was nervous. I mean, what guy wants to deal with a girl's drama? I was playing with my hands that were in my lap when suddenly I felt a hand come under my chin and lift my head up. I avoided eye contact with him.
"Delilah." He said trying to get my attention. "Delilah please?" I looked up. "I'm so sorry that this happened to you, but…" Here comes the breakup. "you have to understand… I would never do something like this to you. You need to out that pain behind you. I know it will be hard, but you have me, and I will help you through it." He became silent after that.
I was incredibly surprised. I had never been to touched before. I was so happy I started to cry. Lysander didn't say anything. He simply scooted over to be and held me until the tears stopped.
"I have never had anyone care so much. I don't even know how to thank you." I said looking up and smiling at him.
"I can think I of a few ways" he said cheekily.
I giggled before reaching up to touch my lips to his. He smiled into the kiss and proceeded to pull me closer. Every kiss just kept getting better. They seemed to last forever, yet I was still disappointed when he pulled away.
"We can't let our picnic go to waste now can we." He said smiling.
"Well I suppose not…" I replied half-heartedly.
"Don't worry we can continue later." He winked at me, and I smiled in return.
The rest of our date consisted of us talking and eating (and yes there was a little bit of a make-out sesh in there). I was having a blast and I couldn't have been happier.
"Wait, I have one more surprise for you." Lysander said suddenly.
I raised my eyebrows at him. Lysander stood up and pulled me along with him. He waved his wand, and suddenly, music starting playing. The music was a beautiful slow song with no lyrics. Lysander pulled me to him and put his hands around my waist. I raised my eyebrows at him for a second time.
"Dancing?" I asked amused by how cliché this moment was.
"I didn't think this date would be complete without it" He replied.
I smiled and slid my arms around his neck. We just moved in a circle with the occasional spin or dip that would make us both laugh. We danced for a solid twenty minutes before we decided to head back to the caslte. We reached the main doors and had to part ways. Lysander kissed my forehead before walking off towards his common room. It was the that I noticed Albus lurking in the shadows. I was going to ignore him, but he caught me before I could walk away.
"Please, can we talk?" he said silently. His eyes were begging me for some kind of sympathy, and this time I gave in. I nodded and let him pull towards an empty classroom, so we could talk.
