Finally, everyone! The day we have been waiting for is here! A lemon with Harry and Melfina! And no, this will not be some sick lemon like some others I've read (And believe me, I've wanted to puke at some that I've read between these two.). This will have some taste to it. Though, if it's in here, then it's what I wanted to put, so no flames. Okay? OKAY! Also, if you don't like Melfina and Harry and like that ... other guy ... Gggrrr ... then don't read this. You WILL be pissed off. XD With that said, I don't own Outlaw Star. Now, let's get to what we've been waiting for! Also, for some reason I can't put my border lines to seperate pages like I like to, so I'm going to use capital I's to seperate the pages.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Harry was just beginning to wake up, slowly feeling that sense of reality coming back to hit him in the face. He knew what was happening very well, though. It had only been a day since he and Jim had found out from Suzuka that the Kei Pirates were back and wanting the one thing that Harry was never about to give up without a fight, the love of his life, Melfina. Harry knew that he would die again for her if he had to, that was no question. What he didn't know was what they would want her for this time. He didn't know if they could have found the Leyline again, which would have been the biggest reason to go after her. The whole situation just seemed so overbearing on Harry. He also remembered that Gene had been killed. Even though he didn't like him, Harry still wanted to have someone there who had fought the pirates more than he had.
But this was the way it has to be. Harry knew that if he was going to keep Melfina safe then he had to prove it, not hope that Gene would be there with a caster and a carefree ego to step in and save the day. It was on Harry this time. The only help he had this time was Jim and his brother Ron, both of them being great advantages in their own rights. It was still early in the morning, though you couldn't know that if you were in space without looking at a clock. Harry turned around in his bed to see Melfina's face, so still in her pristine radiance as she continued to dream those innocent dreams of a better day then what was going on now. Harry was about to burst in joy. He brought a gentle smile to his face as he decided to just lay there, admiring what was before him. He noticed that one of Melfina's hands was on her pillow in front of her face, probably there after she had turned in the night. He couldn't resist. Harry slowly and quietly slid his hand across their bed, up the pillow, and to her hand until he could hold it gently in his. He brought her hand down to his chest and slowly caressed it. He loved to do this with her whether she was awake or not. Even though there was so much turmoil going on with them then because of the pirates, Harry's life felt perfect even if it was just for a small second. He then led her hand to his face and gave it a slight kiss. Almost as soon as his lips had touched the back of her smooth hand, Melfina's eyes began to flutter open as she cooed a small sigh.
"Oooh, Harry?" she said, still slightly unaware of her surroundings after just waking up. Harry just continued to smile. That beautiful sound of her waking up would make anyone burst into happiness.
"Good morning, Melfina," Harry whispered in as quiet of a voice as he could manage. "Did you sleep well?"
"Mmmm, yes, Harry. Very well." Melfina used her free hand to rub her eyes to try to wake up, even though she was still very tired afterwards. Once her eyes were fully open, she noticed that Harry was rubbing her hand like he always did when he woke up before she did. Melfina closed her eyes again, savoring the moment. Harry was quite surpried when he noticed that Melfina was leaning into him, pressing her head against his chest and wrapping her arm around him. With her face tilted towards Harry's, she showed a large smile as he kept stroking her hand.
"Wow!" Harry quietly said in happiness. "Someone's happy today, huh?"
"Yeah," Melfina giggled. "I just love being with you Harry. And you're very warm today." Melfina thought back to all of the times she was on the Outlaw Star at night. She never liked sleeping on ships, or even in space. "Space is so cold, Harry. I never liked it cause it was so uncomfortable. I'm glad I have someone to hold onto now." Harry stopped stroking her hand, a thing he usually didn't do unless he had to. Harry then gently pulled Melfina up to him until her head reached his pillow. He wanted to be able to see her eyes again. Harry loved how, even though he had pulled her upward, she still had her arms locked around him like her life depended on it. Harry leaned forward into Melfina and slowly kissed her, which she was more than happy to accept, that being evident by her moving a hand to the back of Harry's head to slightly guide his face. They pulled away only a few times, only to move back to kiss again each time. Harry loved this more than anyone could imagine, except Melfina. Melfina had longed for something like this for so long. That feeling of not being alone, of not feeling like you weren't cared for, of being loved. After about their sixth kiss, each one being more intense than the next one, they pulled away, only to stare into each others eyes with a feeling which could only be described as longing. Melfina then was the first one to speak. "So, Harry, where are we going? I guess we'd have to go somewhere obscure to avoid the Kei Pirates." Harry was brought crashing back down to that horrifying reality again as he grew slightly saddened inside.
"Um, Ron and I listened to Jim and decided that we're going to Blue Heaven." Melfina's eyes grew in shock. She thought they would go somewhere were they wouldn't be found, not Blue Heaven, which wasn't exactly where to go if you wanted to stay unnoticed.
"Blue Heaven?" Melfina asked, her voice now beginning to sound afraid again. "Why there? The pirates could be there already waiting for us."
"Yeah, you're right," Harry said, knowing that that phrase was not going to cheer her up. "But Jim knows some guys there and we do need supplies before we go anywhere else. We're thinking that we can get them here and also, because of the no shooting law on Blue Heaven, me and Ron can use some of our little tricks if they try anything." Melfina, though she didn't show it, grew a little happier knowing that they weren't totally defenseless on Blue Heaven. After a few seconds had passed, she managed to smile at Harry again.
"That makes me feel a lot better, Harry. I know you and Ron will look out for us." Melfina didn't want to leave that bed for anything. She wanted to stay there forever with Harry and fall back to sleep right next to him. Harry wanted the same thing. He wanted to just run his hand through her gorgeous, black locks of hair again like he used to do on Heifong when they would wake up together and spend hours in bed together. Harry looked past Melfina's face to their nightstand to check their clock. Harry noticed that it was near nine in the morning and that he shouldn't stay in bed for too long. He figured that they were probably near Blue Heaven already and they needed to get tons of supplies.
"Melfina," Harry said, "I hate to say it, but I think we need to get out of bed. We're probably near Blue Heaven by now." Melfina just leaned in closer to Harry and moaned in sadness. Harry knew that she didn't want to leave their soft bed on the Shangri La and have to leave Harry's arms.
"I know, Harry. I know," she muttered. "But," she said as she looked up into his violet eyes, "Is it okay if I go with you no matter where you go? I feel really safe with you around me, Harry." Harry's heart felt so full then. He loved how Melfina was so confident that he would take care of her no matter the situation.
"Sure, Mel. You can go wherever I go. I wouldn't want you out of my sight, anyway. I've got to take care of my princess, of course." Melfina giggled and rubbed her nose against Harry's very playfully. Harry laughed at how cute he thought Melfina was then. This is the way it should always be, he thought as she continued to rub their noses together and gently kiss him. When all of this is finally over ... I hope this never ends. Suddenly, Melfina pulled away and pushed the bedsheets off of her as she sat upright in her and Harry's bed. Harry couldn't take his eyes off of her as he leaned back onto his pillow and beamed at his goddess. Melfina then grabbed her bare arms and shivered. Her purple, silk, sleeveless evening gown didn't keep her warm at all in space.
"See, I told you space is cold," she said through one of her shivers to Harry, who was now feeling cold himself in his black tank top, which he had many of. Harry then pushed himself off of the pillow to a sitting position as well and ran his hand through her hair as he pulled her close.
"Don't worry, Mel. I'll keep you warm once we get out of bed. Speaking of which, I should give you some privacy. You probably want to take a shower and get ready."
"Yeah, I was going to do that. I'll catch up with you for breakfast, okay?"
"Okay." Harry then waited until Melfina had crawled out of bed until getting out himself. After he saw her disappear into the bathroom and heard the door lock, he slipped on a pair of jeans and went to the bridge to see what was going on.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Once he had made it to the bridge, Harry noticed that Ron was already in his seat, guiding the ship into a docking hatch.
"Hey, Ron," Harry said in his normal, everyday manner to his older brother, "We're at Blue Heaven already?"
"Yep. Just pulling in now," Ron replied as him and Harry heard the locks from the station grabbing the ship. The ship slightly shook as it came to a stop within Blue Heaven. Harry walked over to Ron and leaned into his seat, placing his hand near Ron's head to hold himself up.
"My, my, Ron. Are you losing your touch when it comes to pulling into stations?" Harry joked.
"Yeah, whatever," Ron mumbled as he hopped out of his seat and began walking to the lounging area on the ship. Harry quickly followed him by his side.
"So, where's your little friend, Amy?" Harry said, once again being very playful as to irritate Ron.
"Getting some sleep, still. It took her forever to go to sleep last night. She couldn't stop going on about how much space was freaking her out."
"Then why the hell did she come on this trip?" Harry asked, obviously annoyed by the fact that she could've stayed on Heifong.
"Well, she thought it would be fun. Apparently, it's not fun anymore," Ron groaned with his hand to his head. Not long after he had finished that sentence, they arrived at their lounge area on the ship, which was like an entertainment room combined with the kitchen. In there, they found Jim at the table having a croissant he had apparently found in their mini-fridge.
"Morning, guys!" Jim said, looking up.
"Morning, Jim," they simultaniously replied. "Jim," Harry said, "What are you eating?"
"A croissant I found in there. No offense, but this thing tastes horrible," Jim said as he made an awful face to describe it's taste.
"Well, that's because it's old," Harry said with a laugh. Jim just stared in horror at the croissant. "Come on. We haven't been on this ship in a long time. Nothing in that fridge is good anymore."
"Well, that explains the milk," Jim said, then shivering in disgust. "EW!" Harry chuckled as he turned to see Ron checking the caster gun in his long coat. Ron then turned to Harry and put his hand on Harry's shoulder.
"Harry, let's get out of here. We need to get rooms on the station while the ship gets prepared. Also, Jim, didn't you say that you could get us a major discount?"
"Absolutly!" Jim said excitedly. "The last time me and Harry were here when we had that incident in space, I talked to Swanzo, the repair guy, and he got us loads of deals. I'll see if he'll get us some other nice upgrades."
"Great," Harry said, "But before we go, I need to get Melfina. I told her that she could follow us all day to make her feel safe."
"Sure," Ron said assuringly. "You know, I think I'll let Amy sleep. She hates getting woken up anyway." Harry just shook is head in amazement as he left the lounge and went back down the corridor towards his room. He had given Melfina lots of time to get clean and dressed, so he figured that she would be ready by now. Once he made it back to his bedroom, he saw the door open as Melfina emerged in her usual blue poncho.
"Hi, Harry!" she cheerfully exclaimed, having already begun to miss him. "Are we going now?"
"Um, yeah, Mel. Just let me grab one more thing," Harry said as he went back into his room. Harry walked over to his nightstand and grabbed his favorite vest to wear. As he put it on, he made his way out of the room to Melfina. "Now I'm ready." With that, they began heading towards the airlock of the Shangri La. "So, Melfina. Any shops you want to check out while we're here?" Harry asked her as they continued walking. "I'll be glad to buy you anything that you want."
"Oh, don't worry, Harry," Melfina said, slightly blushing. She loved how Harry always wanted to get her things when they went out, but she could never get used to him saying that he would. "You don't always have to buy things to make me happy. You make me happy." Harry couldn't pull his gaze away from the gigantic smile on Melfina's face. Harry just wanted to stop walking and kiss her again like when they were in bed. Instead, he happily smiled and placed his arm around her.
"I'm glad that I make you happy, Melfina. That's all I want is your happiness." he said as they made it to the airlock of the ship. Harry stopped when he heard a set of footsteps behind him and Melfina. Harry turned around to see Jim and Ron headed toward him.
"Leaving without us, you two?" Ron playfully asked them.
"Well, we do want to get our rooms and check out the station while we have some time," Harry replied as they all began exiting the ship and walking into the station. "Besides, what are we all going to do today?" Ron leaned close to Harry and began to whisper to him.
"Me and Jim already talked," he quietly said. "I'm going to get the rooms for us at the hotel on the station, Jim's going to deal with this Swanzo guy, and I think that you should take Melfina around the station to make her feel at ease. Okay, Harry?"
"That's fine," Harry whispered. "But how will we get our room?"
"I'll put it in your name so that you can get your room keys. Just go have the time of your life with her. Oh, and you remember how when we were still living together you always talked of getting her that one ... special thing?"
"Yeah?" Harry said, puzzled slightly.
"Well, the last time I was here, I saw it in one of the shops." Harry's eyes grew in excitement as he smiled. "I'd get it now if you can find it."
"Thanks, Ron," Harry said. "I'll be sure to get it. But, I don't think now would be the time to ask her something like that. After all, she is going through so much." Ron grabbed Harry and pulled him further away from Jim and Melfina, but still continued walking slowly.
"Harry, be a MacDougall and grow a spine. Ever since the day you first saw her, you've been fantasizing about doing this. I don't care if this is going on. I don't care if the station's about to blow up. Just get this for her and ask her the question you've always wanted to ask her ever since you saw her, or else you're going to regret it for the rest of your life. Just trust your brother, okay?" Harry still was uneasy about it, but he knew Ron wasn't going to say something to ruin his life.
"Sure," Harry said quietly. "I'll do it. I just wonder how Melfina would react to me asking something as big as this." Harry and Ron began walking at a slightly faster pace so that they could catch up to Melfina and Jim again. Melfina turned to see Harry coming back to her side again and smiled as his arm went over the back of her neck again as he pulled her close like she loved. Once they arrived outside of the passage that connected the Shangri La with Blue Heaven, Jim saw who he was looking for.
"Hey, Swanzo!" Jim called out. The Corbanite was at first taken aback by Jim's voice, then was even more taken back by who he was walking out of the ship with.
"Jim?" he said back in confusion. "What are you doing here with the MacDougalls?"
"Long story," was all Jim could say as he made his way to Swanzo as the others left to go check out the station.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
After a few minutes had passed, Harry, Melfina, and Ron made their way into the business area of Blue Heaven, as evident by all of the shops. Melfina had only been there one time that she could remember, so everything seemed very vague to her. Harry, luckily, knew where everything was and couldn't wait to spend time with her. They stopped only for a short moment to take in the sights around them.
"Well, you two," Ron said stepping in front of them, "I'm going to go get us all our hotel rooms. You two have a good time looking around, okay?"
"Okay," both Harry and Melfina simultaniously replied. Ron gave Harry a quick wink before turning and heading to the hotel. Harry turned to Melfina and kissed her forehead before taking her hand in his. "So, Melfina. Is there anywhere that you'd like to go?"
"Um, anywhere's fine with me, Harry," she said sweetly. "I'd just like to go to a few clothing shops since we didn't pack before we left Heifong. If that's okay with you, of course." Melfina still was so humble even at times like this.
"Of course it's fine, Mel. You don't have to ask me. Just have fun and enjoy yourself, okay?" Melfina looked down nervously at her hands for a few moments before looking up at Harry like she usually did when he said sweet things to her.
"Okay," she quietly said in happiness to Harry. Melfina clung to his right arm as they began to walk around the shops and window shop, going in the stores they found nice clothing at. Melfina loved how Harry spent so much time with her doing things like this. She couldn't get that smile off of her face for anything. She had completely forgotten about the pirates, the Leyline, everything except Harry. It was moments like this that made her heart happy. After they had been shopping for about seven hours and had aquired a small wardrobe, Harry noticed on a clock in a shop that it was 4:50 P.M.. They only had a few more hours to shop before the stores closed for the night. Harry had one place he definitly wanted to go before it was too late.
"Hey, Melfina," he said to get her attention, "Is it okay if we go in this store?" Melfina looked to the store Harry was mentioning. It was a rather large jewelry store that was known for their expensive stones.
"Sure, Harry," Melfina said, now interested in why Harry would want to go here. "What are you looking for in here?"
"Oh, you know. Just looking for something that might look nice on you or me. Nothing in particular," Harry said, trying to hide why he really wanted to go in there. Once inside, Melfina began looking at the displays, amazed by all of the exquisite gems the shop had. Harry didn't want to, but he had to find a way to check something out by himself for a few seconds. "Hey, Mel. I'm going to walk over here for just a few moments, okay?"
"Oh, sure," she sweetly replied as her attention went back to a golden braclet that she was admiring. Harry then walked over to the same display case he must have been to a hundred times before when he stopped by Blue Heaven. Luckily for him, they still had the one thing he wanted. Harry immediatly called over the attention of the clerk behind the counter.
"Excuse me?" he said politely, "How much is ... that one?"
"This one?" said the clerk, checking to make sure Harry was talking about the right one. Harry nodded in confirmation as the jeweler checked its price. "Let's see. 1.6 million wong. You know, no one's bought this one in over ten years. This one's just been waiting for someone to buy it." 1.6 million may a have been a fortune to most people, but Harry had been saving a portion of the money that he and Jim had recieved for the bounty on the terrorist Pyrados's head just for this.
"I'll take it," he said without hesitation as soon as the clerk stopped talking. Needless to say, the man was amazed.
"Wow! You must be rich to get this! You sure this is the one, now?" he asked once more.
"Positive. But, it's for that girl over there and I want it to be a surprise, so I was wondering if I could pay right now and you get a case for it while I keep her busy."
"Whatever you want, sir," said the man, just happy someone was buying this piece of jewelry. Harry handed the man his credit card to pay for it. After he had made the purchase, Harry got his card back.
"Thanks, I'll be back in a second," Harry said eagerly as he went back to Melfina to see that she had already bought the golden braclet that she was looking at. "Hey, that's nice, Mel. Did you just buy that?"
"Oh, yes," she said looking at it. "I hope you don't mind but I used some of the wong you gave me to get those clothes to get this. It was rather cheap despite its look."
"It's looks beautiful on you, sweetheart. Hey, um, do you wanna go grab something to eat and go to our room? I'm getting kind of hungry."
"Sure. I'm feeling hungry, too. It's a good thing Blue Heaven has some good restaurants." Harry and Melfina made their way towards the door of the shop when Harry noticed the clerk coming back with Harry's purchase in a small jewel box.
"Mel, I'll meet you outside," Harry quickly said. "I think I just saw something interesting."
"Okay, I'll wait for you," she chirped as she left the shop. Harry ran over to the man as he handed him the box.
"I didn't think you'd want a bag for this, so I thought you could just stick it in your pocket. Oh! And here's your reciept."
"Thank you so much, man. You're a lifesaver," Harry said as he slipped the box into his jean's pocket and made his way outside to see Melfina. Harry noticed that she was still looking at her new braclet.
"Sorry about that, Mel. They didn't have what I thought they had."
"I'm sorry, Harry," Melfina replied as she looked up from her braclet. Harry was suddenly caught off guard by Melfina when she wrapped her arms around his chest and hugged him tightly. "Though, I do want to say thank you for buying me all of these clothes today. You didn't have to do all of that."
"But I wanted to," Harry quietly murmured into her ear. "I love doing these things for you. It just makes me so happy to know that you're happy. I mean ... oh, Melfina. I love you." Harry then returned her embrace and pulled her close.
"I love you, too, Harry." Melfina then heard a strange sound coming from Harry, causing her to giggle. "Harry?"
"Yeah, Mel?"
"You're hungry, aren't you?" Just then, Harry heard his stomach growl again.
"Ooh. Man, we need to eat," he said laughing. "Let's go find a nice restaurant." Just as he finished saying that, Harry heard his phone ring. Pulling it out of his pocket, Harry answered it. "Hello?"
"Hey, Harry!" Jim said over the phone. "Where are are you guys?"
"Oh, Jim! We were about to go get something to eat. Where are you?"
"In my hotel room. Thank God that your brother got us rooms away from each other. Something tells me that Amy would've gotten on my nerves," he said laughing.
"Yeah, I know. So, how are the rooms?"
"Mine's nice. He got us all really big ones, too. Mine's got the stuff I need to check on the ship so I'll be working most of the night. Ron's is down at the end of the hall so that I can get work done. And you won't believe this!"
"What?" Harry asked.
"Ron got you and Melfina the biggest suite in the place!" Harry couldn't believe what he had just heard.
"Are you serious?" he said in total shock. "Why would he do that?"
"All he said was that you'd know what it was for. That's it." Harry couldn't believe Ron was doing all of this just so that Harry could have one perfect night.
"Well, um, okay. We'll be there in about one to two hours."
"Okay. Oh! And Ron said that he signed us in under 'McAllister' to make sure no one knew who we were."
"Great. We'll see you soon, Jim."
"Alright. Bye." Harry then hung up his phone and slipped it into his pocket again. Harry was still amazed. Ron had paid all of this money for the best room in the hotel, which he knew was the most beautiful, spacious room in the station. It was almost like a house in that one room.
"Harry, is something wrong?" Melfina asked him, noticing that Harry was still wide-eyed. Harry muttered something, but it was so quiet that Melfina couldn't hear it. "I'm sorry, Harry. I didn't understand that. What did you say?"
"I'm going to kill Ron," Harry repeated much more loudly.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
By now, it was very late at night. Harry checked the clock in his and Melfina's suite. It read 10:08 P.M.. Harry wasn't feeling tired at all. More like nervous. Melfina was in the bathroom, showering and getting ready to go to sleep. Harry still was wondering why Ron was pressuring him into a situation that he certainly did not want to be put into. First, Ron suggested that he get the one thing he always said he was going to buy Melfina, with specific intentions in mind. Then, he gets them the biggest room in the hotel. It had everything that a mansion could have, including quite possibly the largest, softest bed Harry had ever laid in. At least the sheets are my color, Harry thought as he admired the purple silk sheets the bed had.
Harry was still nervous, though. He couldn't ask Melfina for this now. And he especially couldn't ask her for the other thing. After all, he promised her that he would never pressure her. Harry sat on the edge of their bed and put his head into his hands. This was too much for him. Suddenly, he heard the bathroom door open as he saw Melfina's shadow hit the wall. Melfina came around the side of the hallway, wearing her black, sleeves nightshirt she had bought that day and a medium-long skirt, also black. Melfina sat down on the bed with Harry and looked at him. He usually looked back at her whenever she was near him, but this time he kept his head down and still stared at the ground, not knowing what to do.
"Harry? Is something wrong?" Melfina asked as she placed her hand on his shoulder, worried about him. Harry felt her hand on his and looked back at her finally.
"No. Don't worry, Mel. Nothing's wrong." Melfina was worried though. Harry didn't sound this depressed normally.
"Harry, you can tell me anything. Don't feel like you have to keep anything from me, okay?" she said as Harry looked in her eyes again, the one thing that could always make him crumble.
"Sure," he said as he placed his right hand on her left cheek, feeling how soft she was on his thumb. Melfina closed her eyes and breathed in deep before letting out a large, happy sigh. She leaned her head on his shoulder and grabbed his hand as she gazed out their window near their bed. Melfina loved to look at the stars on clear nights back on Heifong, but now she got to look at all of the stars in the sky. This was her idea of perfection and harmony. This was her moment that she never wanted to end.
"Harry, I feel so happy right now. Today was one of the best days of my life." She gently stroked his left hand that she held with her right. "I just know that soon we'll be able to have all of our days be like this." Harry closed his eyes and smiled too.
"Yeah. Just like this," he whispered to her. Harry then decided to fall back onto their bed as his head hit the mattress. Melfina was intially startled by her sudden falling, seeing as how she was completly leaning on Harry's shoulder. Her head landed on Harry's chest, though, as she sweetly laughed.
"Harry! I liked laying on your shoulder," she playfully said to him. "Why did you lean back?"
"Um, uh, cause I like this more," he said. "Besides, this reminds me of something."
"What?" Melfina asked as she got comfortable in her new position.
"You know, Melfina. Christmas time?" Melfina then remembered and slightly gasped, knowing how much she loved that time.
"Oh, Harry. Don't worry, I remember." Melfina's hand then made it's way to his cheek, just like it was in the photograph she had found a few months before. Harry moved one of his hands down to her cheek as well. "Mmmm, you feel just as pleasant as you did then."
"I'm glad. I wouldn't want you to be uncomfortable."
"Oh, I'm not, Harry. I'm not uncomfortable. By the way, there's something I had been meaning to say to you." Harry's attention went to Melfina's words. He was getting worried again.
"Um, what would that be, Melfina?" Harry asked.
"Well, you remember what I was going to do for you for Christmas?" she said as she tilted her head to see his face. Harry nodded in acknowlegdement. He remembered what she had wanted all too well, and also how it almost broke her. "I'm so happy that you said I didn't have to do that until I was ready. I'm so glad that you could wait. I know I wasn't ready to do that yet and I'm sure that if I had done that ... I would regret it now. Thank you for being so understanding, Harry." Harry was relieved when she said that. He thought it was something bad, but it turned out to be praise to him for being the caring person he had become.
"No problem, Melfina," Harry whispered as he sat back upright. Melfina clinged to him tightly as she sighed again. Harry still didn't know if he wanted to bring this up, especially now after what Melfina had just said. "Melfina ... I feel horrible right now." Melfina grew worried and turned Harry's face to where she could see it.
"Harry, you shouldn't feel badly. After all, you have no reason to, right?"
"Well, um, it's something I did a long time ago that's led up to this."
"What did you do?" Harry swallowed the lump in his throat and decided that he should tell her.
"Okay. Before I saw you and I moved in with you guys and we became this close, you know that I still loved you, right?" Melfina nodded. "I mean, I've loved you ever since I saw you. And ... I used to tell Ron all of my, um, dreams for us together. And one of them was ... us being close." Melfina smiled, obviously not understanding what he meant.
"But Harry, we're close already. You don't have to be worried about that."
"Not close like that. I mean ... close like ... us ... intimatly," he said as he quietly said the last word. Melfina's eyes couldn't help but grow large. That wasn't what she was expecting. "I mean, I meant what I said that Christmas. I'd never force you to if you didn't want to or felt uncomfortable, and I'm not going to now. But, I have dreamed about that day so many times ... and I told Ron when we still lived together. So, he came to me today and decided that he wanted to help make my biggest dream come true. That's why he took all of my work today and why he got us this room. He wanted it to be perfect. But ... that's not my biggest dream, Melfina."
"What is your biggest dream, Harry?" Melfina asked, actually delighted that Harry was opening up to her.
"To just be with you ... forever. To not leave you and to be there for whatever you would want or need." Melfina smiled and leaned in to gently kiss Harry's cheek. He couldn't believe that she didn't mind him saying that to her.
"Well then, I think that you have been living your dream, Harry. I wouldn't want you to leave me, either, and I can't stand it when you aren't around."
"So ... you don't think of me differently, even though I told you that I've fantasized about us?"
"No. I could never think of you differently anymore. You've been my best friend ever since we saw each other again. You've given me so much, and not in material gifts. You've made me so happy on those nights that I was sad. You made me smile every time you tried. Your touch makes me feel so special. I'm so glad that I have you." Harry couldn't take it anymore. He moved toward her and wrapped his loving arms around her neck as she did the same with him. He had known that Melfina was perfect from the first day he had seen her, but this only made it more obvious. Melfina pulled away from him shortly after holding him and gazed at his smiling face.
"Melfina, you remember that on Christmas I said that I'd never pressure you about that, right?" Harry said.
"I remember," she replied with her hand on his. "And I know that you'll keep your promise."
"I know, but, I want to ask you something," Harry said innocently, not sure if he was ready to say this.
"What is it?" Melfina asked, though she had a feeling of what he was going to ask.
"Okay. And I swear that if you don't want to, I will not be mad. I will always love you more than anyone even if you don't want to do this. Like I said, I don't want to ever pressure you, but I just want to ask you this, okay?"
"Okay," Melfina said, now sure of what he was going to say.
"Melfina, ..." Harry paused to calm himself down inside, This was about to be one of the biggest things he ever asked her and he didn't want to ruin this moment. " ... Do you want to ... make love tonight?" Melfina was right. This was what he was going to ask her. She looked down at her knees for a few moments, letting the question sink in. Harry was beginning to get more and more worried as every second passed by him. Great. She doesn't want to, he thought to himself. Now she'll think I'm a liar and say I am pressuring her. I never should have done this. Melfina spent so much time taking the moment in in her secret happiness that Harry lowered his head in defeat. Melfina looked up to see him there, looking like he was about to cry.
"Harry?" she asked.
"It's okay. I understand that you don't want to." She noticed as she saw a tear fall from his eye as he raised his head again. "I should have never asked you that. I'm so sorry."
"No, Harry! Don't be sorry! I'm sorry that I took so long. It's just that ... I'm just shy, is all. After all, I've never really done this before." Harry's now watery eyes widened as he looked back up at her. He couldn't believe that last sentence.
"Um, Melfina. Do you mean ... is that a yes?" Melfina didn't know what to say. She wanted to give an answer, but her mouth wouldn't let her give one. Instead, she just beamed at Harry and nodded in agreement. Harry didn't need to hear anything. He had known Melfina well enough to always know what that meant. His heart felt like exploding. He had never been this happy, not even when they had kissed for the first time. "Oh, Melfina," he whispered as he began crying. "Thank you. I ... I was so nervous that you would say no and hate me."
"I could never hate you, Harry. And besides, you said that you could wait until I was ready for this. You were right. You could wait."
"So, you're ready to do this?" Harry asked as he rubbed the tears out of his eyes.
"Yes, Harry. Now I am." Melfina had no idea how close Harry was to fainting. He couldn't believe that this was the night they were going to be together. This was going to be a night he would never forget.
"Alright, Melfina. I promise I'll make you happy tonight. I'll do whatever you want to make you feel perfect and I swear that I'll be gentle with you. But ..."
"But what, Harry?" Melfina asked, wondering what Harry was about to ask. Harry was already more happy than he had ever been in his life, but he still needed to ask her the most important question he could ever ask her. Harry took a few seconds to calm himself down before he was ready to say this.
"Okay. But I think this works better if we both stand up, so ... would you mind standing for just a moment?"
"Oh, sure." Melfina stood up from the bed and looked at Harry, who had done the same and was now shining at her. He was so nervous inside, though.
"Alright. Melfina, you know that I love you so much, and this past year that I've spent with you has been a dream come true. I never thought you would ever be like this to me of all people. But ... I'm so glad that you've accepted me the way that you have. I still can't believe that we've kissed until we do it again. It's just that ... Melfina, I want to make you so happy."
"You have, Harry. You have."
"I know. But, like I said earlier, my biggest dream is not to do what we're about to do. It's to just be with you forever. Your happiness just makes me feel complete. So, um, that's why I was going to ask you this." Harry took Melfina's now slightly trembling hand in his. Melfina was now so nervous. Just then, Harry reached into his pocket and pulled out the small box that he had gotten at the jewelry shop that day. Harry then got the courage to lower himself down onto one knee. Melfina immediatly placed her free hand over her mouth and gasped. This couldn't be what he was going to ask, was it? Harry then beamed back at her as he opened the box to reveal a shimmering gold ring with three of the most beautiful diamonds in the top of it. Melfina was now sure. This was what he was going to ask. "Melfina ... will you marry me?" Melfina couldn't believe it.
"Oh my God!" she exclaimed as her hand left her mouth, now revealing an incredibly large smile. That look told Harry all he needed to know. He knew exactly what she was about to say. "Yes, Harry. Yes!" Now, Harry was now truly happy. He immediatly got up and hugged Melfina as tight as he could, to which she happily mirrored his affection.
"Thank you," he gently whispered into her ear. "You don't know how happy you've just made me, Melfina."
"I know. I'm that happy, too," she replied as she buried her face into his neck. "Oh, Harry. I love you."
"I love you, too, Mel." Harry then pulled away from Melfina and took the ring, which was still in the box in his hand, and slipped it onto Melfina's right hand. Melfina looked at it in sheer awe. She couldn't believe that she was now engaged. "It looks beautiful on you," Harry said.
"Yes, it does. Thank you so much," she replied. "But, if we're going to, um, be together tonight then can I put it back in its case. I don't want anything to happen to it."
"Sure. Um, here you go," Harry said as he handed her the box. Melfina slipped the ring off of her finger and pushed it into the foam in the box. Melfina then set the case onto the nightstand near their bed as she turned back around to face Harry. Melfina placed one hand one his cheek and felt his face go into a smile.
"Okay, Harry. I'm ready." That's all Harry needed to hear her say. Harry gently moved to her and picked her up in his arms as Melfina squealed in surprise. She wrapped her arms around Harry's neck to hold onto him as he turned and set her down onto the bed, gently bringing her head to rest on the very fluffy pillow.
Harry then took off his favorite vest that he always wore and threw it to the floor as he climbed onto the bed as well and positioned himself over Melfina, his arms steadying him so that he didn't hurt her. Harry leaned down and began to kiss her, which Melfina was more than happy to accept. Melfina gently placed a hand on Harry's upper back and pulled him closer so that he could feel more at ease. Harry broke the kiss, though, and sat on the bed with his knees. He then took off his black shirt, threw it to the ground as well, and went back down to kiss Melfina's neck. Melfina moaned in delight as Harry continually kissed her from the base of her neck to the bottom of her right ear. She was already beginning to get lost in happiness. Harry then pulled away from her neck and went to her right shoulder and began to kiss her there as he rubbed her upper arms with his hands. Melfina was feeling slightly cold and was glad that Harry was trying to keep her warm. She slightly grew tense, then sighed as she relaxed again.
"Is something wrong, Melfina?" Harry asked as he pulled his face back from her arm. "Am I going too fast?"
"No, Harry. I was just savoring the moment," she said reassuringly as she ran her hand through his hair. "Um, Harry. Can you sit up for one moment?"
"Sure, Mel. What is it?" Harry said as he rested on his knees by Melfina's side. Melfina then sat up and placed her arms around his neck so that her wrists were just behind his neck.
"Well, there's something you have on that I want to take off," she said shyly. With that, Melfina pulled on the bow in Harry's hair until it came out, letting his hair slowly expand. She had only seen him without his bow once, when he was in the hospital after the accident with his ship. She thought he looked so handsome without it. After Harry realized that she had just taken the bow out of his hair, Melfina ran her hands through his hair again, speading it over his shoulders and down his back. "There. You look so much cuter with your hair like this," she whispered. Melfina then wrapped her arms completely around Harry and took in a deep breath to smell Harry's very sweet smelling hair.
"I might keep that bow out of my hair now," Harry joked as he held her too. Harry then slowly leaned Melfina back onto the pillow. "Do you want to keep going?" he asked her. Melfina simply nodded as Harry then went back to kissing her. Harry made his way this time from her neck, which he was kissing again, to the top of her chest when he stopped. He noticed that Melfina's nightshirt was in the way. Harry slowly moved his hands up to her shirt and slowly began to unbutton it. Melfina raised her head off of the pillow and looked down to see Harry now undoing the second button.
"Harry ..." she said longingly. Harry looked up to see Melfina looking back at him.
"Oh, I hope you don't mind," he said. "I was just hoping to get you out of these clothes. If you don't mind, that is."
"I don't mind at all. I was just going to say that your kisses feel so good." Harry felt very reassured that she was liking this.
"I'm glad. I wouldn't want this to be bad." Harry then went back to unbuttoning her shirt. By now, he was undoing the fourth button, right below her chest. Every time he unbuttoned one of the buttons he stopped to kiss her just above where the button was, tracing a line of kisses down her chest and stomach. Just as Harry got to the final button, he felt Melfina's hand go behind his head as she sighed again, her beautiful voice making Harry go crazy inside. Harry removed the last button, kissing her just below the navel, before going back up to her face and kissing her again. Melfina leaned upright as she pulled her arms behind her back so that Harry could slide her shirt off of her body.
Once off, she tossed it aside to the edge of the bed as Harry pulled away to see her. He couldn't even begin to think of taking his eyes off of her. Of course, there were certain areas Harry did want to see first, but to him all of Melfina was a treasure. He smiled as he leaned in once more to kiss her again. Melfina pulled away shortly after and began to pant for air, her face no more than half of an inch from Harry's. She didn't expect to feel like this this quickly. Harry didn't want to waste time. Noticing that her lips were parted, Harry parted his and moved in for another kiss. Melfina went wide-eyed. She had never kissed Harry this way before, but she didn't want it to stop. It was just different than what she was used to. As they continued kissing, Harry leaned Melfina back onto the pillow and stroked her left arm. Melfina could hear Harry moaning in pleasure as they kissed. Melfina thought that he sounded so funny and giggled. Harry parted their kiss and smiled.
"Wow!" Melfina exclaimed. "That kiss felt different."
"Yeah," Harry said, his face just inches from hers. "It's called French kissing when you use your tongue like that when you kiss. It's supposed to be more passionate. Do you like it?"
"It's nice. I like both ways, though," Melfina quietly muttered as she slid her hand up Harry's arm. "You're making this really special, Harry."
"Thank you, Mel. I want it to be special for you." Melfina closed her eyes and took in the feeling of what they were doing. It felt so good to her. Just then, she could feel her skirt sliding off of her. Melfina quickly opened her eyes to see Harry slowly pulling her skirt off of her. Harry looked up when he saw that Melfina had noticed him removing her clothing again. "Just helping you out," Harry chuckled as he continued.
"Oh, um, sure," Melfina said, a little startled by Harry's eagerness. She did try to make it easier for him, though, by lifting her legs off of the bed so that Harry could slide the skirt off easier. Once off, Harry threw the skirt behind him and sat on the edge of the bed to slide his pants off. Melfina crawled over to him and rested her head on his shoulder just as he had gotten his jeans off of his legs. She then hugged his neck as Harry went to take off his socks, which he couldn't stand to wear when he was in a bed, not to mention one as soft as this. After he took those off, he turned around to Melfina and collapsed into the bed with her in his arms. Harry was so at ease now. They went back to the same position they were at earlier, with Harry on his back and Melfina's head on his chest.
"Just like Christmas, right, Melfina?" Harry said, bringing up that night again.
"Yes. You know, Harry, it feels like Christmas right now," she said as her hand went back to Harry's face.
"It does, doesn't it?" Harry replied. Melfina just relaxed while she had the time and slowly tilted her face to his chest and kissed him. "That feels so nice, Mel," he said in response to her kiss.
"I'm glad," she replied as Harry felt the breath from her words go across him. "It felt good to me when you did it. I wanted you to feel the same way." Melfina then raised her head off of Harry's chest as they crawled back to their pillows. Harry grabbed Melfina again and gently pulled her on top of him. Harry now ran his hand through her hair, his other hand going to the side of her stomach. Melfina closed her eyes as Harry brought her head to his and kissed her just as he had before. This time, Melfina gladly welcomed it. Her hands made their way to his face and then to his chest to support herself. Melfina sat upright on her knees over Harry as her left hand remained on his chest and her right went to her chest. She could feel her heart beating so fast and so intensly. Harry leaned up toward her again and placed his head to her chest. Harry could hear and feel her heart beating like mad inside her.
"Oooh, Melfina," he whispered as she stroked his now-flowing hair. "You're so warm."
"You feel warm, too, Harry," Melfina whispered as she kissed Harry through his hair. Melfina didn't pull her head back for a long time. She loved how his hair smelled. Harry noticed that his hands were resting over the hooks for her bra. Harry didn't want to waste anymore time than he already had. He slowly moved his hands to either side of the hooks and started undoing her pink bra. Melfina didn't notice that Harry was trying to remove it, for her mind was lost in Harry's warmth and his invigorating aroma. Harry finally got the hooks unfastened and let her bra drop to their knees. Melfina then realized what had happened and slowly moaned as she pulled away from Harry's head. Harry threw his hair behind his head and gazed at her for what seemed to him like forever.
Oh my God, was the only tangible thought that could go through his mind. Harry knew that the moment that he had been fantasizing about was about to come true. "Melfina ..." Harry could barely make the next words come out of his mouth because he was in such shock. " ... you look so incredibly beautiful. I ... I ... beauty doesn't even begin to describe you, Mel." Melfina pulled her head to her chest in joy. She loved the things Harry said about her and could never get enough.
"Oh, thank you, Harry," Melfina said, still rather nervous that she was getting this intimate. "You look the exact same to me. You're so beautiful, too." Harry smiled just like Melfina had and embraced her, feeling her warm, alabaster skin press into his. Melfina's arms went around Harry as well, only her hold on him was much tighter. Harry was surprised that she was holding him this tightly. Melfina moved slightly so that her face could be back towards the top of Harry's head again. She then began kissing his head again like she was doing before Harry had unfastened her top. Harry noticed that his head was resting on her chest once again. Harry began kissing her there again, inciting sweet moans that made Harry soar inside. Her voice was like that of a siren's song that sent his blood coursing through his body in anticipation of what was to come.
Harry leaned back onto his pillow and turned so that Melfina was under him again. Harry kissed her chest again, now making his way towards her face again. As Harry's lips made contact with hers again, his right hand slid down from its position at her shoulder, down her chest and side, and to her hip where his first two fingers caught the last piece of her lingerie. Melfina didn't mind anymore that Harry was pulling her clothing off. She had gotten comfortable with the feeling. Harry pulled back as he grabbed the other side of her underwear with his other hand and started removing it slowly, wanting to take this in second by second. Ever so slowly, he finally got them to her ankles before taking them off and throwing them behind him like every other piece of clothing he had removed that night. He felt his breaths begin to grow shallow and his hands tense up as he looked at her like this was the first time he had seen her. Okay, Harry. You are definitly dreaming right now. There is no way this is real. Melfina then raised her head from her pillow, pushing back the stray hair that was in her face and hugged Harry with such a tender carefulness.
"Harry, is something wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost," Melfina whispered to him. Harry wouldn't have even been able to hear her unless her face was right near his ear like it was.
"No. No, Melfina. Nothing's wrong." Melfina pulled back to see Harry smiling at her. She had never seen him this happy or even this sweet. She knew that he always looked out for her and made sure that she was comfortable, but it seemed like now he was being more careful then ever. Harry's hands then went down to his black boxers. He quickly took them off and threw them aside, now in complete heaven. Harry kissed Melfina again as he placed one hand onto the bed and one hand behind her, holding her close as he leaned her back onto the pillow. Harry's hand that was on the bed now went down her side again until it made her way to her hip. Harry slid his hand under her hip so that he could move her leg and slightly placed it over his leg, though once there he didn't take his hand off of her leg immediatly. He continued to caress her hip ever so slowly while his other hand went to her face as he continued to feverishly kiss her over and over. Harry slowly engaged in one more kiss before pulling his face back just inches from her's. "Melfina," he slowly sighed as if it were a combination of thought and whisper, "I'm going to be so caring and gentle with you now, but no matter how gentle I am ... this will not feel good for the first few moments. But I promise you that it will shortly afterward. Just trust me, okay?"
"Sure, Harry," Melfina said back to him. "I trust you ... and I know you'll be gentle." Melfina moved her left hand to his cheek while her other hand fell onto the sheets of the bed. Harry lowered himself even further down until he was only a few inches from her. Harry supported himself with his elbows as his hands slipped under her back to cradle her and hold her close. Melfina then gasped in pain as she felt a strong sensation covering her. Her gasp was quickly followed by a short moan as she brought her head as close to Harry's as she could bring it. Her right hand that was on the bed grasped the purple, silk sheets tightly as her breaths grew quicker. Harry began to get worried. He could see that Melfina was feeling the pain of this being her first time.
"Melfina, is it too much? Do you want to stop?" he asked her. Melfina leaned her head back down onto the pillow as she breathed heavily, her chest rising and falling every second.
"No, Harry. It's okay. It hurt at first, but it's stopping now."
"Are you sure, Melfina? I don't want to hurt you?" Melfina's left hand went back to his face as it had before.
"Harry," she whispered, tears now flowing from both eyes as she smiled at him, "You're not hurting me. You're making me so happy. Don't worry." Harry smiled and nodded. He leaned down to kiss her again as she continued to pant for air. Harry then decided that it was okay if he continued. Melfina felt herself beginning to move up and down as Harry began to please her. Her right hand continued to hold on to the sheets. He could hear her moaning through their kiss, her moans only getting louder until they turned into sharp cries. Harry stopped for one moment to break their kiss and to move to her neck to kiss her as Melfina felt herself moving again. This time, her cries were not inhibited by Harry's kiss.
"Oh! Harry!" she cried loudly as Harry had grown faster. Harry stopped and pulled his face from her neck to see her.
"Is something wrong," he said through his breaths, which were now becoming heavy. "Is it still hurting?"
"No," Melfina happily sighed. "It's not hurting at all anymore. It feels so good." Harry smiled back at her and moved one hand to her thigh, which he began to softly caress. Melfina smiled and moaned again as she felt Harry continue. Melfina began to feel much warmer all over her body as her heart continued to beat heavily. Her hand that had once had such a tight hold on the sheets had now gone to the pillow and now had its grip on it. To Melfina, this was such delightful paradise. Her senses had never been this alive and she had never been this content. Her other hand now moved to Harry's chest. She slowly rubbed his chest as she stared upward and into his eyes. Harry was loving every second of this. He finally was living out his perfect fantasy, motion by motion, with his new fiance, Melfina. Harry knew Melfina could feel his heart going so fast inside of him. As he looked down, he saw her eyes close as she pulled her head back, her neck going toward Harry until it couldn't anymore, and cried in a voice that siginified either some form of pain or the most loving pleasure. Harry didn't stop this time. He continued as his hair spilled off of his shoulders and back and began to hang around Melfina's face. She contined to moan in bliss as she took her hands and pushed Harry's hair onto his back. She really wanted to be able to see him while he was doing this.
"Harry," Melfina said as calmly as she could, even though she wanted so badly to cry his name out. Harry stopped his motions, wanting to hear her voice so badly.
"Yes, my angel? What is it?" he asked sweetly.
"Please ... kiss me again," she asked. Harry smiled at her before parting his lips and moving down to have them meet hers. Melfina cried out again as Harry was kissing her as she realized that Harry had started again. The feeling in her was rising so quickly. She didn't know what this was and had never felt it before, but knew that it was so incredible that she never wanted it to end. Harry could feel it, as well. He wasn't stopping for anything anymore unless she absolutly wanted to stop. He lowered himself even more until his chest was just grazing Melfina's. He could just feel her heart beating as her chest rose when she inhaled the scent in his hair. Melfina wrapped her arms around Harry again. Harry turned and fell onto his back as Melfina rolled on top of him, still kissing him ever so strongly. Harry didn't know if he should continue with her like this. He didn't know how she would react. Melfina pulled her hands out from under Harry's back and grabbed his hands, her fingers intertwining with his as she held them tightly.
"Melfina, do you want to keep going like this?" Harry asked as he brought one of her hands to his lips and kissed it slowly. Melfina smiled back at him and leaned into his chest as she kissed him and felt his heartbeat. She then turned like Harry had just done as Harry caught himself so that he wouldn't hurt her. Harry was back over Melfina like they just were before, except this time their hands were still locked together.
"Yes, Harry. Keep going," she sighed she felt Harry's warm chest on her's. Harry listened to the words of his love and proceeded. Melfina's voice turned into a cry again as she continued to feel Harry making her dreams realities. Suddenly, she gasped as she felt something new. Her satisfaction and pleasure were growing more then they had before. More and more tears of happiness from the intensity of Harry's movements and his caressing of her in different areas began flowing down her cheeks. Harry gasped deeply before looking up to see that Melfina had tears falling from her beautiful brown eyes but wasn't crying in sadness or pain. He then heard her cry out louder than she had done so yet, the sound filling the room and sending Harry to go just slightly faster. He could feel her right hand squeeze his left so very tightly as she let one sobbing cry out before closing her eyes and bring her head to Harry's to kiss him again. The feeling in her had now reached it's limit. She knew that if Harry continued for even one more second, then she would be completly in Heaven with him here. Harry didn't stop at all. He only continued as he brought his right hand from her side to her face and kissed her with just as much passion.
"Melfina," Harry said after he had broken the kiss for a few moments, "I love you." Melfina wanted to say that she loved him back, but the feeling in her was coming to the top. She couldn't take it anymore. As she let go inside of herself, she felt a rush of pleasure go throughout her entire body. Her hand held Harry's hand so tightly. Her toes at her feet curled in delight. Her head went back just as it had before. And finally, she couldn't contain that scream anymore. She finally cried out as Harry continued through it all. Harry didn't have to hear her voice cry out to know that she was feeling incredible. He had felt her body react to him as soon as she had reached that point. Harry continued as he felt his pleasure reach its limit. Suddenly, Harry felt that same sensation go through him as his face moved toward Melfina's face, stopping just when they were over each other. Harry moaned in such pleasure as Melfina began heavily breathing again. She could hear and feel Harry and knew that he had reached his destination as well. Harry took a moment to realize what they had just done. Nothing could bring him down anymore. This had to have been the happiest night of his life. Harry gently moved backwards, hearing Melfina sigh in pleasure as he did so, then rested his head on the pillow next to her as he pulled her into his arms.
"Thank you, my love," he whispered in the quietest voice as his hand went through her soft hair. Melfina's head was at his chest, her arms wrapped around him as well. She couldn't stop kissing his chest as Harry lightly set his lips onto the top of her head. When Melfina stopped kissing him, she moved upward so that her head could rest on the same pillow as Harry's. Harry noticed that her tears had never stopped falling as he saw more and more coming down her face, even though she had such a large smile on her face. "Melfina, why are you crying?" Harry asked as he wiped her tears away with his hand.
"Because," she said through a quiet sob, "I've never been this happy before. I'm with you like this, you proposed to me, and you just gave me the best feeling anyone has ever even begun to give me. I know now, Harry. We're perfect for each other." That's what Harry had always loved about her. She could always be so sweet and gentle no matter what the situation was. Harry usually couldn't stand to see her cry, but tonight he wanted to see her tears of joy and hear her cry out in pleasure. He was so happy that he had gotten his wish. Melfina calmed herself down for a few moments before realizing that she was forgetting something important that she wanted. "Oh, hold on," she said to Harry as she turned around in bed and reached for the jewelry box on the nightstand. Harry grabbed the sheets at the other end of the bed and pulled them toward him as Melfina slipped the ring that Harry had gotten her onto her finger and turned back around to him, resting her head on the pillow again. Harry then pulled the sheets over both of them until they reached their shoulders before his hand went from the sheets to Melfina's hand. "I love this ring, Harry. It's so beautiful and it fits nicely, too. It's not too tight but it's not loose at all. How did you know my ring size?"
"Well, Mel, I ..." Harry then realized. He didn't know her ring size. He didn't even mention size when he bought the ring. It was just her size all along. "I don't know your size," he uttered.
"But, if you didn't know my size, then why does this fit so well?" she asked. A small smile crept onto Harry's face.
"Something tells me that it was fate, sweetie," he said as he kissed her finger where the ring was. Melfina smiled back at him as Harry now moved to kiss her again, this time long and slowly. Melfina's hands moved up Harry's back until they became lost in his sea of hair. Harry pulled away to see Melfina's smile again, her creamy complextion tinted perfectly in the glimmer of starlight. Harry pulled her even closer to himself as their noses gently touched each other. "Are you feeling tired, Melfina?"
"Yes. I'm so tired right now. You didn't tell me that it would be this tiring."
"I'm sorry. But I hoped that you liked it," he said, his hand now going ever so slowly through her hair.
"I did. Thank you."
"You are so welcome, love." Harry gently closed his eyes as Melfina closed her's as well. "Goodnight," Harry whispered.
"Goodnight," Melfina whispered back as she got comfortable in Harry's embrace. "I love you, Harry."
"I love you, too, Melfina" As they laid there together, they knew that they would do everything to make sure that nothing would tear them apart. Melfina did have one last thing she wanted to say to tell Harry before they drifted away.
"Harry," she sweetly said, her voice cascading across Harry's neck.
"Yes, Mel?"
"I'm glad I have you to hold onto. You make space so warm." With that, Melfina's thoughts became dreams, her dreams of a perfect life for themselves. Harry smiled at Melfina's loving words.
Okay. I guess I'll let Ron live.

And if you like this or just Harry and Melfina in general, go read Rose Magenta's story "To Rise Above The Stars". If you don't, then my God you are lame! That story PWNS your face!
