Albus sat there at a table in the Three Broomsticks, stomach in knots staring at his pocket watch waiting for her to show up and trying to keep himself from being nerveous. Telling himself that everything was going to be alright and was going to go fine.

            Then she walked in the door and it seemed like no one else was there. He got up and walked towards her while it seemed like she was gliding towards him, white-blond hair flowing behind her. "Zarea." He said giving her a big shy smile so unlike himself.

            "Albus." She replied wearing an even shyer smile but unable to take her eye's away from his.

            "Would you like to go for a walk, it's a little loud in here." He said holding out his hand. When she put her hand in his he realized that her skin was the softest thing that he'd ever felt. He led her out into the street and ment to let her hand go, but she held on as they walked down the street hearts beating so fast that it was amazing they weren't gasping for air.

            "I can't believe this, it's all like a wonderful dream." Albus said to finally break the silence. "I can't even think of anything to say."

            "I can't either." She said squeezing his hand expressing more in a simple gesture than either of them would have been able to in words, and he squeezed her hand just as much and as gently. They continued walking on into the woods just past the village.

            "Here." Albus said pointing to a small clearing. She gave him a questioning look and seemed to be ready to ask him what was going on. He just placed his finger on her lips, pulled out his wand and used a sommoning charm to bring out a quilt and a picnik basket. Zarea gasped and gave him the most briliant smile he'd ever seen, he was surprised that his knees didn't give way from being in the presence her beauty. "I thought this would be a nice place to have lunch." He managed to get out with a steady voice.

            "It's wonderful Albus!" She said as they sat down next to each other.

            They sat eating and talking of their families but neither really paying attention to anything but the others eye's. They stopped after a while and just sat to enjoy each others presence, not needing any words, words would have spoiled the afternoon. Zarea moved closer to Albus to run her fingers through his hair while he caressed her cheek. They slowley came closer almost without even thinking about what they were doing. Then their lips met, and for a long time there seemed to be only the sweet taste that comes with that first kiss and the sounds of breathing and the feel of each other's heart beats. They lay holding each other for hours not even thinking that it couldn't last forever and soon they would have to go back to the school. That didn't matter, nothing did then, or ever really would, not compared to that moment.
