It was common knowledge that each and every person had a soulmate, a special person who had been created to be with and spend the rest of their lives with them.

A soulmate was supposed to be an individual's ideal romantic partner.

A person's soulmate would be revealed to the individual by one of the soulmates suddenly teleporting to the other. This would happen to a person at any age after both soulmates had reached the age of eighteen years old.

Harry Potter was a wizard who ever since he had first found out about soulmate had looked forward to meeting his someday.

Harry was a man in his mid-thirties, he was of average height and had a slender yet fit build. He had short, black messy hair, green eyes, wore glasses that were black and round and had a lightning bolt scar on his forehead.

Harry had wondered many times what his soulmate was like. He had wondered many times what they looked like, he had wondered many times who they were. He had wondered to himself whether his soulmate would be interested in pursuing a relationship with him when they finally would meet.

Harry experienced the magical transportation of apparation many times before and had seen other people apparate in his presence before however he knew that teleporting to your soulmate was supposed to be quite different. It was supposed to be very special. He knew that he had never experienced this soulmate teleportation before and so he had yet to meet his soulmate.

One day he was sitting at home and reading a book while drinking a glass of alcohol when suddenly he disappeared from his home in London. He then reappeared near a dark- haired man who seemed to be playing a game of muggle chess with himself.

Harry felt confused for a just a moment as he had not apparated, he had not used a portkey or used any other magical method of transportation. He wondered where he was, how he got to be there and he wondered who this unfamiliar yet attractive man was.

The man noticed his appearance in the room, Harry saw that a frown was appearing the man's face, and he looked confused.

The man stood up and slowly started to approach Harry and as he did this Harry quickly realized that not only was this man quite handsome but that there was also something very special about him.

Harry couldn't tear his green eyes away from this man.

The man was tall, looked to be in his late thirties, he had a lean build, short black hair, and intelligent eyes.

Just as Harry stared at the man he was also stared at with a intent gaze, admiration and awe starting to appear in the other man's eyes the longer that the two men gazed at each other.

As the two men stared at each other Harry felt that this man was very special to him and for some reason he was feeling a growing need and want to always be with him.

Harry was the first to speak.

"I am sorry, I have no idea how I…" He began but he was interrupted by the other man.

"You're here because we are soulmates."

"You really think so?" Harry asked.

The other man gave a nod, he stood up and held out a hand to Harry, "Yes, I am certain of it. It would explain why you have teleported to me and why I currently feel that you are important to me despite us never meeting before. My name is Sherlock Holmes, I am a consulting detective and you have teleported to the flat where I live in 221B Baker Street, London."

Harry soon nodded, deciding that what Sherlock Holmes had said made sense. It would explain the special feeling he was feeling for this man and why he had teleported to the man's sides without the use of magic.

"I'm Harry Potter. It's…It's a pleasure to meet you" said Harry as he shook the other man's hand, feeling incredibly nervous but very happy and excited.

The two men soon let each other's hands go.

"Sit down please, we should talk and get to know each other to determine whether we want to pursue a relationship"

Harry nodded in agreement and Sherlock led them both to a couch.

The two men then just sat together and talked, exchanging bits of trivial information about themselves with the other as the both of them began to get to know each other.

After a while of talking, they decided to exchange phone numbers and planned for a first proper date together.

XXXXXX

Sherlock Holmes felt nervous as he dressed for his first date with his soulmate, having first met Harry Potter the previous day.

He had showered, brushed his teeth and hair, and dressed in appropriate date attire.

After meeting his soulmate yesterday, he had, of course, told John about Harry. He was happy that he had finally met his soulmate and he was certain that John was happy for him as well. He had also informed Mrs Hudson of the happy news and she too was happy for him.

He was more than satisfied with who he had received as a soulmate. Harry was quite attractive, he had stunning emerald-coloured eyes, a unique shaped scar, messy gorgeous hair, black glasses and a slender yet slightly muscled physique. He also found Harry to be quite interesting and was looking forward to finding out even more about his soulmate.

Once ready Sherlock left 221B Baker Street and went to the agreed upon restaurant.

When he saw Harry waiting for him he couldn't help but smile and he walked towards his soulmate.

For a few moments he just stared at Harry, his mind for a few moments analysing his soulmate's appearance. He deduced that Harry was quite excited for this date, that Harry was happy to see him. Harry had obviously made an effort for this date, as his hair was neater than before, glasses looked cleaner.

As he stared at Harry he thought his soulmate looked beautiful. Harry's emerald coloured green eyes even more stunning than when he had first met him, raven black hair still gorgeous . He could see the slight muscles on Harry's arms and his slender but fit build.

To Sherlock Harry looked beautiful , and perhaps it was due to Harry being his soulmate but Sherlock thought Harry the most beautiful person he had met. He was almost at a lost at words at what to say to him.

"Hello Harry, you…you er….look wonderful" said Sherlock.

Harry smiled, a light blush on his face that Sherlock couldn't help but admire.

"Thank you Sherlock, you look quite handsome as well" replied Harry. "Shall we go in?"

Sherlock nodded and they soon entered the restaurant.

After ordering their meals and drinks Harry and Sherlock started to talk, getting to know each other.

They talked of trivial topics of conversation for a while, such as likes and dislikes, hobbies and interests.

Sherlock was surprised at himself at how much he already liked his soulmate, he was surprised at how perfect he thought Harry was to him.

Normally he didn't care about dating but as he was talking with Harry, getting to know him and when the orders arrived soon ate together he found himself really enjoying the date.

In between eating their meals and drinking their wine they continued to learn more about each other, this time talking about work, friends, and family.

Sherlock was quite enjoying learning more about his soulmate, enjoying being with his soulmate, enjoying learning more and more about his soulmate.

Near the end of the date Harry stared at him with those eyes that Sherlock already adored and spoke, his voice sounding a bit nervous but hopeful.

"So, Sherlock would you like to have more dates after this one and try for a relationship with me?"

Sherlock smiled, he felt happy, excited already at the thought of a living a life with his soulmate. Happy that his soulmate wanted him, that he wasn't been rejected by him, that his soulmate actually liked him.

"Yes" said Sherlock. "Of course, I do"

Harry smiled, obviously happy at Sherlock's response and leant across the table to capture Sherlock's lips in a kiss.

The kiss wasn't long but it was enjoyable and one that was returned by Sherlock almost immediately, it felt to Sherlock absolutely perfect.

When they separated Sherlock engaged his date into enjoyable conversation again for a short while before they paid for their orders and left the restaurant.

After walking his soulmate safely to his car Sherlock kissed Harry on the lips again and Harry left.

Sherlock then went home himself, feeling quite happy that the first date with his soulmate had gone well, already looking forward to the next one and their future together.
