Royal Love Chapter 4- The Date
"Callie!" came Lola voice.
"You looked fine the first five times!" yelled Shelby.
"CATHERINE!"
Finally, Callie came out of her room. She had a pair of black pants on with a pink long sleeve shirt and a dark green dress robe on. He hair was curled just a little and her make-up consisted of blush and lip-gloss. Together making her look gorgeous.
"Well?" she asked slipping on a pair of black boots.
"You're not changing this time," said Lola.
"You look amazing!" stated Shelby.
"Not overdone or underdone?"
"NO!"
"Well, I guess I'm off."
"Have fun."
Callie gave a smile and disappeared from the apartment and outside the Leaky Cauldron. She stepped in and saw Harry sitting at the bar. He had a pair of black dress pants and a green button up shirt with a black robe on. He turned and smiled at her. "He looks good in black," she thought.
"Hello Callie," he said offering her a rose.
"Hi Harry."
He looked her up and down. "You look beautiful," he said.
"Thank you. Not to bad yourself."
"So, you ready to go?"
"Where are we going?"
"A special place."
"Really...where?"
"You'll see."
Harry took her hand and led her out of the pub. He gave a smile before he disapparated with her.
"Harry?" she asked looking around.
They were sounded by trees except a little patch of grass that had a blanket with a basket.
"Well, consider I really can't go anywhere in the wizarding world without being bothered, I figured a picnic would be the best," he said leading her to the basket.
"This is great Harry," she said with a smile.
He just stared at her for a moment. "I'm glad," he finally said.
The sat down and Harry pulled out regular had sandwiches and butterbeer.
"So, how have you been since Sunday?" asked Harry.
"Good," she said with a little laugh.
He looked at her, right in the eyes. Her blue eyes were dancing with excitement.
"So, Mister Potter, how's life been since you left Hogwarts?"
"Adding more fame to my mane I don't want and playing Quidditch basically," he said. "What about you?"
"Um...I just graduated this pass June, so I haven't had much time to do anything beside work for a lawyer and go to college part time."
"Why don't you do something in the wizarding world?" he asked.
"My father."
"Oh...can't say I've had to deal with that," said Harry.
"Oh...I'm sorry Harry," she said realizing what she said.
"Don't worry about it. I have Remus now. So, your father won't let you do anything you want to do?"
"No, he doesn't. When I got my Hogwarts letter, it was freedom to me. He controls everything that I did or did do. Not so much anymore because he kind of scared of what I will do. I could ruin his career," said Callie with a little fire in her eyes.
"From what I could tell, with the little time I've spent with you, that you don't seem the type to let someone walk all over you," he said.
"Its complicated but I have to listen to what my father says," she said.
Harry just nodded. He knew why but he wasn't saying yet.
"Have you ever had anyone who told you basically what to do?" she asked.
"Yes, I have actually. This girl I dated, Hayden. All she wanted me for was my fame and she told me what meetings or gathering to attend. I didn't date her for to long," he said with a smile
"I can't say I had a guy do that because I hardly ever dated," she said.
"Really? I would have thought someone like you would have."
"And why is that?" she asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Well...I mean...I think I better shut up before I dig myself into a deeper hole," said Harry blushing a bit.
"That would be good but I just don't," she said with a smile.
They finished eating and Harry cleaned up everything with a flick of his wand.
"One more place," he said.
"Oh really?"
"Yes."
"Not going to tell me, are you?"
"Nope."
"Knew it."
He grabbed her hand and gave her a smile before they disappeared. As they landed Callie fell backward but Harry caught her right before she fell.
"Thanks," she muttered blushing.
"Not a problem. My quidditch relaxes come in handy sometimes," he said.
"Oh my gosh! Ice-skating? I love ice-skating! How did you know?"
"Did a little research," he said with one of his charming smiles.
She looked at him with a raised eyebrow. She wondered just how much he knew about her.
"You've got to remember, I'm the Harry Potter. I can find out anything." He said.
"That could be scary sometimes," she said looking up at him.
He just smiled at her. "Come on," he said pulling on her hand.
They transfigured their shoes into ice skates and started on the ice.
"I should warn you," said Harry stepping slowly on to the ice. "I'm not every- AHHH- OUCH!"
His right foot went forward while his body didn't go with him backing him fall backward on his butt.
"That hurt, didn't it?" asked Callie.
"Just a bit," he said.
He tried to stand again but fell back down.
"Would you like some help?" asked Callie with amusement all in her voice.
"Please."
Callie laughed at him as she helped pull him up off the ice. She placed her hands on his shoulders to help balance him.
"Just hold my hand," she said.
"If I fall, you are going to come with me," he stated.
"I know. That's the whole point.
"You sure?"
"I said it didn't I?"
"Alright."
They skated around for a while, without falling thanks to Callie help. Both of their checks began to turn pink as the air grew cooler and it began to snow.
Callie let go of Harry's hand and began to skate around in the snow. Harry just watched her with only her one his mind.
"I love the snow. It makes everything look so innocent and beautiful. My mother said I liked it so much is because I was born during a snowstorm.
"When was that?"
"December 29."
"That's not far away...just twenty-five days."
"Yeah. That is why I got to go to Hogwarts when I did because I when I was born."
Harry watched her skate around for a bit longer. She really did look like a princess, literally. If there was one thing he could say he loved about her already, her innocence had to be it. She loved just life itself and enjoyed it all she could. He never thought he would start to fall for her so soon.
"Harry?" came Callie's voice bring him out of his thought.
"What...oh, yeah?"
"I said I better be getting home. I have to work tomorrow," she said.
Harry nodded. "I'll take you home."
"That would be great," she said with a smile.
Callie skated off the ice and Harry slowly made it off, after falling a couple of times.
"Where are we exactly?" she asked as she changed her shoes.
"Scotland."
"That is a beautiful manor. Is it abandoned?"
Harry couldn't help but smile.
"I think so," he said trying to hide his smile because that was his manor.
"I wouldn't mind living around here. It's away from everyone. Quite, compared to London."
Harry realized something about her. All she wanted was an escape from her title and the world her father has set up from her.
"Ready?" she asked.
"Yup."
Callie took his hand and apparated to her apartment.
"Big difference. Manor to an apartment," she said with a smirk.
"A big apartment, mind you," said Harry.
They stood there for a moment before Callie broke the silence.
"Well, I had a great time Harry."
"So did I"
She gave him a smile.
"I want to see you again," he said.
"I would love that," she said looking up at him.
Harry just looked at her for a moment. "Night," he finally said.
"Night."
He leaned in and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Right after, they heard giggles. Harry looked around before his eyes met Callie's.
"Lola, Shelby. You can come out now," said Callie.
"How did you know it was us?" asked Lola.
"Who else could it had been?"
"True."
Callie shook her head. "Oh, Harry, meet my roommates. This is Lola Dashwood and I think you know Shelby Blair."
"Please to meet you," he said.
"Hi!"
"So, you are that famous Potter them two talk about-ouch," said Lola looking at Shelby who had stepped on her foot.
Callie shook her head as Harry just smiled at her.
"I better go. I'll see you later Callie. I'll find other time," he said.
Callie nodded and watched him leave. She started toward the apartment and up the stairs.
"So?" asked Lola.
"So what?"
"The date! How was it?" she asked.
"Remember one of our rules? Never kiss and tell? Will this falls in that rule, though we didn't kiss," she said.
"Oh, come on. Tell us," said Lola.
"Night Lola."
"Please."
"Night."
"Damn you."
"You'll live."

"So?"
"So what?"
"The date Harry! The date!"
"Sorry Ron. I am not saying anything."
"Come one. Just a bit."
"No."
"Why?"
"Because you don't need to know."
"I'm your best friend!"
"So is Hermione but you don't see here, nagging me about it."
"This a big thing. You haven't dated for two years now after Hayden. Callie must have set something off with you to want to date again."
"I just get along with her. That's all you are getting, so drop it."
"Just tell me some things."
"I'm not promising anything."
"Did you kiss her?"
"No."
"Did you do anything?"
"That could be taken more than one way, so I am not coming to answer."
"Come on. Just tell me."
"Go home or go to the room you like to sleep in so much."
"Tell me."
"Night Ron."
"Please."
"Night Ronald."
"Damn you Potter."
"You'll live."
