As they slowly walked toward the park, Lily felt James release her hand and put his arm around her shoulders. She tilted her head against his chest and placed her arm around his waist.

Once they entered the park, Lily saw just how beautiful it really was. The sky was jet black, with bright stars to fill it. She could see flowers being illuminated by an enchantment in the ground. There was a nice, long parkway; benches lined the outside of it. In the middle of the flowers and park, there was a fountain. The water was glistening against another light enchantment.

James led her to one of the benches and they sat down in a comfortable silence. Her head was now completely on his shoulder. He looked down at the woman he loved, his Lily. He wanted nothing more than to wrap her in his arms and never let go. He wanted to be with her for the rest of their lives.

"You know, when I was younger I used to sneak out of the house and come here to think," James revealed.

"You're kidding, right?" Lily questioned. She knew that he lived on the other side of town. This place was definitely not within walking distance.

"Nope. I used to fly on my broom out here. I loved to come and think here."

She snuggled closer to him and asked," What did you think about?"

"I don't know. Maybe a fight I just had with my parents, or stupid stuff that I thought was important."

"That's very cute," she responded and leaned her head upward to give him a light kiss on the lips.

"You know, I came here the other day too."

"Why?" she asked.

"I was thinking about you. And how much I love you," he began.

However, he was cut off when she leaned forward and kissed him softly on the lips. "You are one of the sweetest people I have ever known," she told him.

He smiled at her words, but what he really wanted was for her to stop talking and listen to him.

Suddenly, James pulled away from Lily's embrace. He got off of the bench and kneeled down in front of her, gently taking her hands in his.

"You know that I have loved for over two years now," he saw her nod at this, "and nothing makes me happier than being with you." He saw a smile and blush appear on her face.

He paused to smile back, but continued shortly after, "I wake up every morning thinking about the dreams that I dreamt about you, wishing you were with me. When I see you and my heart skips a beat. When I hold you in my arms, I never want to let go. You are the only person who has ever made that happen to me."

He paused again to see her eyes swelling up with tears, a huge smile on her face. "I love you Lily Marie Evans. Will you marry me?"

With those final words, James pulled out an engagement ring. Lily gasped; it was a ½ carat gold diamond ring. The center diamond shined and sparkled against the moonlight above. There were also two smaller diamonds embedded in the metal on either side of the centerpiece.

Lily slowly nodded her head, tears were fully coming down her rosy cheeks. "Yes, yes, yes!" she exclaimed, each time saying it louder as if to convince herself it was true.

She flew her arms around James' neck and kissed him hard on the lips. He kissed her back, but it was shortly broken by Lily as she felt the need to say, "I love you."

James slid the ring onto Lily's slim fingers. It fit her perfectly. Lily gawked at the ring that was placed on her left ring finger.

James pulled Lily back into a tight embrace, kissing her with passion and excitement. He was going to marry the girl of his dreams, his Lily.

They stayed that way for quite some time, Lily occasionally glancing at the diamond ring. It was the happiest day of both of their lives.
