"Follow me, I want to show you something." Argus took Eve's hand and led her out of the common room.

"Where are we going?" she asked. "And be careful! You're nearly yanking my arm out of my socket!"

"Sorry. You'll just have to wait and see though." The two rounded another corner, and Argus looked both ways down the hallway, to assure that no one was watching. He pushed on a brick in the wall, and a doorway appeared. Eve's eyes widened.

"How did you–"

"Shhh!" Argus put his finger to her lips. They stepped into a small room, and the door clicked shut. Argus smirked. "I know a few of the secrets Hogwarts has to offer." But Eve didn't seem to hear him. She was starring at the room she had just entered. What had appeared to be a normal classroom was now a clearing in a forest, with dark green trees and flowers all around, sun shining through the tops of the trees into the clearing. In the middle was a blanket, spread on the soft, fresh grass. Argus took her hand again and led her to the middle of it, and sat her down, sitting next to her.

"I don't understand. I mean, it's beautiful," she said. "But what are we doing here? How did this all get here?"

"I've been working all night. You don't know how many times I ended up with cocoanut trees and cacti planted in a recently-plowed field," they laughed. "But I finally got this to come out of this stupid wand. Are you hungry? Please tell me you are."

"Well of course!" she giggled. "But why is it so important?"

"It's something else I've been working on all night. Cross your fingers." Argus pointed his wand to a spot on the blanket, swirled it around, and a plate with biscuits and honey appeared.

"Argie! Look at that! You, well, you actually conjured that up!"

"I - I did!" Argus said, feeling especially proud of himself. "And 'Argie?' You can't be serious."

"I suppose it is a little silly. I can stick with Argus if you want me to."

"No. I think I like it. Argie. Yeah, it's growing on me." He smiled and took a deep breath. He pointed to the blanket once more, this time conjuring a pot of tea, along with two cups. "Tea, m'lady?"

"Oh, but of course!" She took a cup of tea and sipped from it. "You're amazing, you know."

"Well, I don't know about that." He blushed a little. "I had to practice. A lot. I'm –"

"A squib?"

"Yes. You knew?"

"I did. You see, the truth is –"

"You're one too."

"Yes."

"Well, you know what that means don't you?" Argus said with a grin.

"No, what?"

"It simply must mean that we're meant for each other."

Eve laughed. "Oh does it now? You know, I suppose you're right. It does."

"So we're agreed then?" Argus puckered his lips.

"Yes," she said, and leaned in and pecked them. "When I said you're amazing, though, I wasn't really referring to your magical abilities. I meant as a person."

"Aha. But of course you're referring to my ravishing looks and impeccable charm," he said, striking a pose.

"Yes, yes. All that is included. As well as your kindness, the way you treat me differently than the other girls, and, I mean, you worked all night to do this, for me."

She wrapped his arms around him and they sat in an embrace, breathing each other in. Argus lifted his head and rested it on hers. "It's because I love you, you know. I would do anything for you."

Eve leaned back to look up at him, smiling. "You do?"

Argus smiled back. "Yeah."

"I love you too."

Their lips met, and they, well, there was some kissy kissy. Argus moved his hands to her face and held it back. "You know, there was something I wanted to try with you, something I'd read about."

"Oh, well Argus. I haven't had much experience with guys, and, well–"

"No, no!" Argus laughed. "No, I didn't mean that at all." He pecked her lips. "I meant a charm; its sort of a way to show affection. But I'm not entirely sure it'll work. I haven't been able to really practice it on anyone."

Eve thought for a few moments. "I want you to try it with me."

"Are you sure?" Argus asked. "I mean, completely sure?"

"Yes, Argus. I trust you. You did all this for me. And I know you wouldn't let anything happen to me; your mind wouldn't allow it. Just concentrate... hard."

"All right." He grabbed his wand. "You're sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure! Now do it to me!"

Argus looked at his wand, and back at her. "Whoa."

"Shut up!" she couldn't believed what she had just said, and laughed. "You're supposed to be concentrating!"

"All right, all right, all right." He took a deep breath and sat up on his knees, taking her hand, so they were both grasping his wand. He pointed to his heart and outlined it in the shape of a heart, and then did the same thing to hers.

"This is so romantic," she said. "What will happen?"

"Now we lower the wand, still lightly holding onto it." They did this, and in a few moments, the outlines began to glow with a deep, fiery red. Both of their eyes lit up.

"You did it, Argus! They're glowing! Our hearts are glowing!"

He smiled. It had worked. She liked it. "Of course they are." Then there was a sound at the door.

"I'm telling you guys, I saw her pussy! Well, lookie here!" Merve walked in with his two friends, Septimus Weasley and Alphard Black. "It's Filch and Norris in the... flesh."

Argus jerked his wand out of Eve's grasp. But instead of finishing his aim at Merve, he accidentally flicked it at Eve, shooting out a spark and hitting her directly in the forehead. "EVE! NO!"

"Merve, let's get out of here!' Septimus said, and the three of them sped out of the room.

In the center of the room, amongst the evergreens, wildflowers, and soft grass, sat Argus. Stunned and crying, he was cradling a brown tabby, and her bright green eyes staring widely, right back into his.
