And another chapter! I'm actually updating at a decent pace now and I'm unbelievably proud of myself for this. Now, we will be going over a lot of time here, since the book more or less skips the majority of October.

Eren POV
The next two weeks sped by, mostly with Harry looking like the happiest man in the world while Levi and I wanted to punch him. I walked down the hall beside Levi, holding him close. Winter has officially come and was chilling the entire castle. Levi had then made it his personal mission to become a Koala, and clung to me as much as possible.
The halls were drafty as hell, and everyone had started to simply toss on a cloak before leaving their classrooms. I however found the chill comforting, much to Levi's annoyance. "How the fuck is this comfortable to you?" He asks again as we walk over to the Dungeon. I chuckle and say "Anatomy my love."
He grumbles as we walk out of the castle, on our way to Herbology. "I enjoyed lunch though, maybe we can grab tea for you later?" I say, tossing my cloak around him as we entered the greenhouse, which was relatively warm. "By later you mean dinner, since we're out here in the fucking cold till then." He says hugging me tightly.
I chuckle before saying "I forgot. Sorry Love." He glares up at me as we walk further into the greenhouse, which is a good bit warmer than the outside. Levi takes off his gloves as we walk up to the professor, who is happily looking over her plants. She smiles at us and says "Perfect! I needed the two of you to help me move something."
We nod as she walks us back out into the cold and I can already feel Levi shivering. She motions toward a small stack of about 6 boxes and says "I need these brought inside. And we can't use magic because of the plants within them. They can't stand levitation charms and will shrivel up and die if you use one."
I nod and walk over to them, Levi pulling away and grabbing two of them. He tests the weight and says "I've got these. You can grab those." Before walking off toward the greenhouse. I smile after him as I grab the remaining two and follows him, seeing Professor Sprout holding the door open. We enter the room and she has us place the boxes on one of the tables.
She then let's us leave, telling us that we will gather in greenhouse three today instead of greenhouse two. "It's the Venomous Tentacula dears. It's becomes rather violent due to the sudden chill. I'm planning on keeping my students away from it until it's settled down." She says as she pulls a smaller glass container out of the boxes and walking us to greenhouse two.
The class went normally from there, mostly her just reviewing anything she thought may or may not come up on the OWL. By the time class was over I had the names of over twenty plants to memorize all floating around my brain. I sigh in annoyance as I think about our next class. Levi nods and says "I don't wanna go either."
I pull him close as we march down to the edge of the wood, standing with the others in the chilly wind. When he shivers softly I lean down and say "Hey, at least it's not snowing or raining." Levi shivers and says "Don't you dare jinx us you asshole." I grin and say "Like hell I could."
In the end I did because not ten minutes later it started to rain, but it was cold enough that the rain was freezing and pelting us. We all huddled together before our teacher let us go, canceling class early and letting us go inside. Levi glared at me the entire way back. I was the only one not shivering as we entered the castle.
"All of you are free till dinner. Go collect yourselves and get warmed up." Professor Grubbly-Plank says as she walks off, headed toward her own room. As soon as the groups started to split and Draco walked over as the Trio rushed off Levi kicked my shin. "SON OF A-" I shout, cutting off to grab my shin and hop on one foot.
Draco laughs as I hop while Levi and I glare at each other. "The fuck?" I growl out, noticing the smallest change in his posture. You spoiled brat. I think as Levi says "I told you not to jinx us." Sounding rather smug. I snort through my nose and say "Well than I apologize my adorable little Midget."
Levi goes a little red at that, gaze dropping after a second. Yes midget, I know your game. I grin as I stand straight. However Draco stops our soaked game of teasing when he grabs Levi's hand. I stiffen, barely stopping a growl as he asks "Oh! How long has this been here?" Looking over the ring on Levi's hand.
I grin as Levi's entire face goes red, looking down at his feet as he stutters out "Two weeks…" Draco gives a fake gasp and says "Oh my word! I suppose I'm the first to know of this?" his voice laced with playful teasing. I walk over and pull Levi to my side, kissing Levi's forehead, momentarily hiding my own face as the Bloody Baron flies over.
"I was first Draco, however I was asked to keep it secret." He says, floating close to us as Levi actually let's out a small smile at the attention. Draco claps softly and says "Perfect. That's what the two of you look like." The Baron nods and says "Even soaking wet and shivering." voice containing a soft laugh.
I kiss Levi's temple again and say "Want to let them tell others now? Because at least we know Draco won't jump up and down screaming like Hanji or the Twins might do." Levi nods and says "Okay. I like this plan." Draco smiles at us and says "Perfect. Let's show them what they Slytherins can do. Shall you get the ghost's Baron and I shall get the Slytherins? I can have word out before dinner if we hurry. I'll have to check with Zabini about his mother's recipe…"
Draco quickly bids us goodbye before rushing off toward the dungeons. I chuckle after him and say "Now the Twins are going to freak out." Levi buries his face in his hands before hiding in my shirt. I hug him tightly, kissing his head before saying "Come on. If we hurry we can get a shower in before we have to face the mass of people who want to see."
He nods and pulls away, smiling at me and saying "Okay… But you have to join me." I smirk and say "I guess I can do that." He instantly starts pulling me up to the tower. I grin behind him as we trod up to the tower, soaked to the bone from the rain. We manage to make it back into the common room before Filch went into the halls and saw the trail of water the Gryffindor robes had made.
We walk up the stairs as I say "I'll run into our dorm and grab a clean set of robes. You can run into the bathroom first." He nods and says "I can do that." Smiling rather diabolically. I raise an eyebrow at the look before letting him go, walking into our dorm while he walks into the bathroom. I step quietly into our dorm only to find it conspicuously empty. Shit… I think, having not seen them in the common room.
I quickly grab our stuff before thinking over what we could do. Before a rather evil plan comes to mind. Well. Levi always has been good at being quiet. I hold our dry clothes away from my body as I walk into the bathroom, seeing six of the eight showers being used. I hear someone, sounded like Dean Thomas, humming rather loudly in one of the stalls. I set my stuff by the one shower without any dry clothes outside of it and grab an extra towel and hang it up outside of there.
Levi pokes his head out of the shower after a second, blinking at me before looking a little forlorn as I yank off my clothes before softly saying "We unfortunately have company." I nod before yanking the curtain closed on the shower next to Levi's and grinning at him. His entire face goes red as he says "Eren you better not-" I cut him off with a kiss and quietly ask "May I join you Levi?" I'll give him the choice. If he says no than that's fine.
His face goes slightly redder before he opens the curtain a little more as he nods. I grin before yanking off my soaked pants, grabbing out the small bottle of lube I'd grabbed from the room of requirement. I place my pants in the lower tier of the shelves between the stalls and step in behind Levi. Levi gives me a small smile before turning around and stepping under the stream of hot water, running his hands through his hair as he warms up. I set the bottle on the small shelf on the wall. I chuckle softly before he turns and offers me a hand.
I take it, letting him pull me close and under the water. He presses his head against my chest and whispers "You're fucking freezing you ass…" I laugh silently, wrapping an arm around Levi and saying "I find no problem with it love. Remember the first deep woods training that Erwin took us on?" Levi smiles and says "Yeah. We were all covered in mud because it started raining before the obstacle course."
I nod and press him gently against the wall before whispering in his ear "And I ended up fucking you in the cave behind the nearby waterfall?" The blush that had faded over the last minute or two returned full force as he says "Yeah… And we had to be quiet because everyone else was on the other side of the waterfall…" I grin quite evilly and ask "Think you can be that quiet again?"
He bites his lip, shutting his eyes for a second before nodding quickly, eyes snapping open again to look at me. He buries his hands into my hair and pulls me close, kissing me quickly as I press against him. At this spot the water from the shower was barely hitting my shoulder, and Levi was pinned against corner and the wall.
I pull away, making him glare at me as I pull him away from the wall and press him against the wall to the far back, making the water hit our sides. He nuzzles against my neck as his hands move to my shoulders, pulling me closer as I feel myself hardening. I press him against the wall more firmly as my mouth finds his, kissing him gently before I shove one of my legs between his, letting him rut against me.
I run my hands down his sides, feeling him shiver softly under my hands before running them down his legs and picking him up. His legs quickly wrap around my waist, tightening as I rut against him. He let's out a soft gasp as he pulls away, head tilting back until it rests against the wall. I reach up with one hand, grabbing the small bottle of lube is placed in here while shoving my face into his neck.
His hand moves up from my shoulder to his face, covering his mouth as he tilts his head to the side, hiding his whimpers. I slowly start sucking hickes into his neck, traveling down to his collarbones and leaving marks there as well. His hand moves from his mouth to my hair and he yanks me up, kissing me feverishly as his arm wraps around my back, yanking me closer.
His mouth drops open, a silent invitation that I don't refuse. While I licked my way into his mouth I opened the cap of the lube in my hand. He jolts, pulling away and glancing at my hand. He let's out a soft sound, a cross between a whimper and a whine. I barely heard it over the water but I grin at it none the less.
He gives me a slight smirk before saying "Are you going to do anything besides smile at me Eren?" His voice is soft and had a playful lilt by the time he gets to my name. I chuckle again, making sure not to be too loud as I ask "You sure that's what you want? Can you be quiet love? As quiet as before? Or do I have to get you off with my hand?" Levi levels a glare at me.
"I know I can be quiet. Can you fuck me without being loud too?" He snaps back, voice barely soft enough to hide. I snort and say "Of course." Before pressing against him more firmly, causing one of his hands to cover his mouth to hide his moans again as I let him go, holding him up with my body as I coat my fingers in lube. It has a faint strawberry scent, something I'm guessing Levi likes since I don't distinctly care, but I must say he does seem like he'd be as sweet as one.
My hand drops to his ass while I place the bottle back on the shelf before moving my hand back to his leg. I pull away slightly, the water from the shower running down my back and chest and spraying gently on him. His hand moves to my shoulder while he covers his mouth, shutting his eyes and letting out a shuddering breath as I slowly insert one finger, moving slowly and gently so I don't hurt him.
I can't be rough, because that would be loud. I can't move too fast because I might end up moaning or making him lose focus. While this might be fun, I'd rather not get caught by Harry and Ron. I think as I slowly move my hand, grinning at the way his hips rock down on my finger. After a minute or two I slip in another, watching him shudder at the stretch, but stay perfectly silent.
Once I have my two fingers in deep enough I slowly start to scissor them, stretching him further as his hands move from me to his face. He holds both hands over his mouth, trying to keep himself silent while he pants. I think of a rather evil thought and smile to myself. This could backfire easily… Ah fuck it. I pull him up higher, fingers going even deeper into his ass before licking at his nipple.
He jolts, legs tightening around my waist as he pants, a tiny whimper escaping him as he ruts against my stomach. I chuckle softly, licking him before biting gently. He shakes softly, panting through his nose and arching into me. I slip in a third finger, setting a rhythm for him to press against, purposefully avoiding his prostate. I want to tease him, not make him to moan. I switch to his other nipple, toying with it gently.
He shamelessly ruts down on my fingers, head tilted back against the tile of the shower. I pull my fingers out of his ass, making him whimper softly. I move my hand to his leg and bend it back, pulling it up and bending it back until it was almost parallel with his chest. I hold his other leg tightly against my side, keeping it wrapped around my waist as I hold his other leg back.
He removes his hands from his mouth finally, one hand moving beside him while one moves to my hair. He tugs urgently until I follow his wish and meet him with a kiss, one that's almost dizzying as he let's out a small whimper. His hips rock down again, making both of us shiver as he pulls away. "Please Eren…" He whispers, shivering again.
I nod and kiss him gently as I hear the bottle open again, the sound nearly identical to that of the soap containers around us. He quickly pours a decent amount on my cock, hand dropping down and stroking me quickly, making it hard to hold in a moan. I pull away and glare at him as he gives me a small grin.
"You may wanna cover that pretty mouth of yours." I whisper into his ear, biting down onto his neck gently before slamming in, not being gentle at all, but stopping just before I bottom out so I don't make any extremely awkward sounds. Levi however didn't heed my warning and let out a loud yelp.
I pull away from his neck and smirk at him as he looks horrified and covers his mouth with both hands. "You okay?" I hear one of the other boys call, sounding rather worried. I'd say it was Ron by my best guess. I raise an eyebrow at Levi, smirking with a look of your problem. He pulls his hands off his mouth, grabbing my arms while I start rutting into him, tiny movements that rub my cock against his prostate.
He shudders, whimpering quietly before saying "Y-yeah. Sorry, just almost fell on my ass." His entire face heating up while I grin at him. "Okay. As long as you're alright." The voice says again. Definitely Ron. Levi nods sloppily and ruts down on my cock, tensing around me before letting out a soft moan, barely audible above the sound of the water.
He shivers again before whispering "Eren… Move god dammit…" I kiss his cheek and say "I am moving love… And what happened to you being quiet?" Not changing my pace at all. He gives me a pleading look and I cave, not able to resist the pout on his face. I kiss him gently before speeding up, careful to keep quiet.
He buries his face in my neck, biting gently at the space. I let out a soft pant, making sure I'm not overheard. However I have to say the chance of getting caught, and how cute Levi was when we almost were, makes my heart beat just a little faster. I feel his grip tighten on me as I suddenly hear the water shut off in a different stall.
I speed up slightly, moving at a more even pace as I hear another shower shut off. They apparently dress as someone, Harry by the sound of it, says "Dinner is in about an hour! Make sure you're ready by than!" I hear another shower shut off as, I think Neville, says "Alright Harry! Dean! Hurry up in there, we still have that Herbology essay to review."
Dean shuts off his shower, and Seamus as well. The boys dress quickly and Neville says "See you at dinner Levi!" Levi pulls away from my neck and manages to say "See you then." As the boys all leave, their chatter leaving with them. I freeze for a moment, listening out for any sound of people still inside before smiling at Levi.
He pants at me, moving his hands up and throwing his arms around my neck and pulling me closer. He tilts his head to the side and says "Please fuck me Eren… Please god dammit." Whimpering softly at the end. I pull away enough to get to his mouth before kissing him roughly, pressing his head against the tile, gripping his legs firmly, knowing I'm most likely going to leave bruises behind before pulling out and slamming back in, setting a brutal pace that sure to make the both of us a little sore.
Levi however doesn't seem to care as he let's out a delighted moan, his hand moving to rake his nails down my back. I pull away from his mouth, taking in a deep breath before moving my face to his neck, nipping and sucking at his neck. Were both nearing our own respective ends from how Levi sounds. Which is small moans and cries with pleads laced throughout.
"Ahh-Please! Oh Fuck! Mmmm… Eren Haaa!" He moaned out, head tipping forward to rest against my shoulder. I can read his body language and tell he's seconds away from coming, his entire body shivering against mine. Levi's leg tightens around my waist, arms tightening as well as he let's out a cry, coming thickly across our stomachs and chests.
I pant as he whimpers, body shivering from overstimulation. "Levi…" I say, warning him of my own impending orgasm. He tightens his grip around my neck, other hand moving to brace himself on my arm before he pants out "Please… Inside…" gripping my arm hard enough to bruise. I nod quickly, having gotten the permission I needed.
I kiss him sloppily, a kiss he reciprocates as I bottom out, coming inside of him. My vision goes spotty for a second as I press against him. My hips twitch forward, resulting in a surprised moan from him.I pull away from the kiss and say "Sorry." He smiles pleasantly at me, giggling softly before saying "We're doing this again… Soon."
I chuckle and nod, smiling down at him and saying "Happily Love." He nods sleepily at me and clings to me, holding on tightly as I let his legs go, pressing him against the wall with my body as I flexed my hands. He moans softly when I accidentally push myself deeper inside of him. I kiss his cheek softly before holding him up, his legs having dropped to wrap around my waist.
I pull out of him, feeling him tense as I do so. "You okay?" I ask, rubbing his side gently as he nods. "Yeah… I'm okay." He fixes me with a small smile as I say "Since I bet you can't stand yet, do you want me to start cleaning you up?" He thinks it over a second before nodding and saying "Please. I feel a little gross."
I chuckle and set about to cleaning him up, making sure to massage his legs and make sure I didn't hurt him while holding him up. He did however have the red imprint of my fingers on both of his thighs. It took about ten minutes for him to be able to stand again, but by then I had washed every inch of my beautiful midget, complimenting him as I did so, making him red by the end of it.
When I could finally set him down my hips hurt a little from the position I'd held him in, and I felt the smallest tingling on my back where he scratched me. Other than that I was fine, and he helped me clean up as well, washing my hair like he always does, claiming that I don't condition it right and it's not as soft as when he does it.
When we finally step out of the sower and dry off, pulling our robes on afterwards we had about twenty minutes before dinner. I pulled him to my side, nuzzling into his neck and asking "Want to curl up in the dorm room with me for the last twenty minutes before we have to face the mayhem of the rest of the school my little Fiancé?"
He smiles at the word and nods, hugging my neck and saying "Of course my Fiancé." I chuckle and hug him back, smiling brightly before I pull away. Taking his hand and walking to our dorm, quietly slipping inside. Luckily everyone had vanished from the dorm room, leaving us completely alone. Levi pulls me over to my bed and shoves me down on it, climbing up on top of me.
I chuckle as he nuzzles into my chest, letting out a happy hum before saying "I'm going to get you back for that you ass." I smile and say "I'll look forward to it." Before wrapping my arms around him, holding him tightly. He smiles, cuddling into my chest and sighing happily before saying "If anyone tries to pull you away from me I'm going to kick them."
I nod and say "And if anyone grabs you I'll punch them." He nods against my chest and says "I'm glad we're in agreement." Sounding rather pleased with my answer. I sigh from my spot as I hold him, feeling perfectly at ease. However before long Levi says "Eren… It's time for dinner." Sounding a little let down. I sit up slightly, propping myself up on an elbow and rubbing his back.
"Come on love. Time to show everyone that you're all mine." I say, knowing that those words will make it a little easier to get him downstairs. He sits up with a huff and says "Okay… I guess we can do that. Draco did say that everyone would know by dinner. And I'm pretty sure the Baron helped him too. But don't forget Eren, you're all mine too." I nod as he stands, stretching before offering me a hand.
I grin and take it, standing up easily before he leads us to the door. I lace our fingers together as he pulls the door open. Luckily there isn't anyone on our landing, however I can hear a group of people bunched together on the landing above us. Levi easily leads us down the stairs and I hear people chattering loudly in the common room. Yet as we step down onto the final landing the entire room goes silent.
I raise an eyebrow at them while Levi gently pulls me towards the door, through the people until the twins stop in front of us. They look ready to explode from excitement while watching us before Fred asks "Is it true?" And George asks "Are the two of you engaged?" I pull Levi to my side as he holds up his left hand saying "Yeah we are. Why?" Chaos erupts then, people jumping and cheering for us, I even receive a few pats on the back.
I can see a few girls are crying, holding each other while cheering for us. The Twins instantly jumped forward, wrapping us in a massive hug. Fred hopped off first and turns to George and says "Emergency plan M?" George nods and says "We should be able to get it ready in time." The pair running off, rushing out of the common room and leaving us at the mercy of the cheering Gryffindors.
Levi adjusts, settling himself at my side as I toss my arm over his shoulders. We than begin to steadily make our way through the crowd of cheering people. Once we made it to portrait hole the cheering had died down a little and we were able to lead the Gryffindors to dinner. A few Gryffindors ran ahead of us and opened the doors, while a few hands shoved us forward first. Before I could turn around and maim whoever was shoving us we were met with another silence.
Yet George and Fred jump on the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tables respectively and shout "IT'S TRUE!" Causing everyone to jump up and cheer, the sound nearly deafening to me. Levi nods at me apologetically, apparently having felt my wince. I nod at Draco from my standing place, who grins at me and nods back. Everyone will know by dinner. Levi and I move to our table, finding everyone rushing to sit as well before Dumbledore stands, causing silence to fall.
He smiles at everyone and says "It seems we have something to celebrate tonight." He motions for us to stand and we do, looking around the room as He says "Please take a moment to congratulate Eren and Levi on there engagement." The whole hall cheers as we receive another cheer much like the Gryffindors had done. Except three times as loud as the Gryffindors and Slytherins got into a shouting match about who can cheer louder.
I smile at them while Levi leans against me, a small half smile apparent as I lean down and say "Think of what the Corps would be like." He shakes his head and says "Oh god. They'd party all night and make us join. The last time we partied like that we woke up on the training field shirtless and covered in paint that took hours to get off and I'm still not sure how I woke up on top of you."
I chuckle and say "Yeah Hanji can throw a party. Especially if it's celebrating the first time you've ever been in a relationship." Teasing him gently while he leans against me a little more, causing me to wrap an arm around his waist. As the cheering finally died down Dumbledore nodded at us, allowing us to return to our seats.
Dumbledore speaks a few words of kindness about the joys of life and youth before letting us be. And as food appears on the table, a large box appears in the space between Levi and I. The twins sat across from us and grinned identically. "The house elves were really happy about hearing about your engagement. I think a few of them even fainted." Fred says, grabbing a steak from the plate in front of him.
"Yeah, they said they'd have a gift made for the two of you immediately. I've got no clue what that is, but I'm eager to see." George continues while ladling out a bowl of stew. I glance back at the box, which is a simple white one with red ribbon. The box is barely bigger than my hand, and about three inches tall. Levi reaches forward and undoes the ribbon, before gently opening the box.
Within sets two silver lockets. They have a beautiful engraving across the front, almost like spiraling vines, yet the center is blank. I pick mine up, holding it and staring as a beautifully calligraphic L is inscribed across the front. I flip it over and see the survey corps wings skillfully engraved into the back.
I smile at it, the thin chain hanging from my hand as Levi picks his up. The moment he does an E writes itself across the surface, setting perfectly in the center amongst the vines. His has the survey corps wings engraved on the back as well, and I open clasp on the side and open the locket, smiling at the words there.
'Forever Yours' was inscribed inside, Levi's scrolling handwriting etching out the words. I shut the locket and put in on around my neck, clasping it easily. I drop the necklace down my shirt, smiling over at Levi who is doing the same. He easily clasped the locket and tucked it under his shirt like I had. However as it touched his skin I felt a small tug between my shoulders as warmth washed over me, almost like slipping into a hot bath as I suddenly found myself elsewhere.

Fred POV
I quietly hacked into the steak in front of me, glancing up at him every few seconds. I knew I liked Eren, a feeling I was sure wasn't reciprocated. Come on all you have to do is look at the way Eren smiles at Levi and you know you have no chance with him. I quietly sighed as I thought back to that one drunken night.
I barely remembered anything about that night. Only vague memories of Eren carrying me, him laughing while holding onto Levi, sticking his tongue out at us while tiny fireworks flew off of it, making tiny sparks of light or small strawberries. I smiled at the memories, before looking back up at them.
I knew that Eren was never mine, but it still hurt a little to see him get engaged. Yet I still smiled because it made me happy to see him happy. He loved Levi, and I never wanted to hurt that love. I glanced back up at them, having seen Eren put the locket on only for them to have vanished. "Where did they go?" I question George.
He stares at the spot and says "They were right there!" Motioning to the spot as people around us quickly notice while people start to question, voices rising before Dumbledore stands again, and silence settles over the hall as he says "Ahh. I see they have activated them." The toad stands quickly, marching over toward him and asking "Activated what Dumbledore."
He looks down at her and says "The gift the house elves created for them. Perfectly harmless. They should return to their common room in about an hour." She puffs up for a moment before walking off, returning to her seat. I sigh and say "Hey George. That should give us more than enough time don't you think?" He nods with a grin and says "That should be enough."

Levi POV
Within the space of a blink I'm suddenly sitting somewhere else. Eren sits across from me at a small round table, looking as confused as I feel. His outfits changed, as he's sitting in a white button up with a dark blue suit vest over it. I glance down to see that I'm in a white button up with a dark blue tie.
I glance up at Eren, who's smiling fondly at me. I smile back slightly before looking around us. The room was decently lit, but the light was still soft enough to be romantic. As I look around a house elf pops into existence, carrying a large plate. I smile down at the little thing, which smiles back while placing the plate in front of me.
I glance at Eren, who quietly thanked the house elf serving him. A moment later an elderly house elf appears near us and says "Good evening sirs, to the Library of Remembrance." I look around as and see the bookshelves, that seem to reach the ceiling and a large fireplace behind me. "The lockets we gifted to you shall allow you to enter here at any time. Please, eat." He says before vanishing with a small pop.
Eren chuckles and says "Blunt. I like him." I snort before looking back at my plate, which has some kind of creamy rice dish on it. I slowly take a bite, since it's steaming in its spot. Eren hums with approval and says "I swear they are some of the best cooks I've ever heard of." I chuckle and ask "Better than Armin's triple chocolate cookies?"
He nods and says "But not better than your raspberry cake." I laugh softly and say "I bet they can cook one better than mine." He instantly shakes his head and says "Nope." I shake my head at him and eat, our conversations switching to more peaceful things while the house elves continued to serve us.
The moment I finished my plate a house elf appeared and took the plate while switching it out with a bowl of thick cheese soup. I enjoyed the food and the peace of it all. I'd missed spending time with Eren like this. He'd often take me out like this on our free days, sometimes for a meal, sometimes we'd just walk the town, but it was sweet nonetheless.
Eren grinned and said "Hey, remember the time Hanji practically stalked us right after I asked you out?" I chuckle and say "Yeah. She saw the hickey you left me with and instantly knew something had happened. She didn't leave us alone for three days trying to catch us!" Eren snickered and said "She camped outside your room, when all I was doing is climbing the tower from the outside."
I nodded and said "Remember when Eld put that 'Pinch Me' sign on Erwins back? And he walked around all day getting pinched, and was so confused?" Eren laughed and said "Yeah! And he jumped out of his skin when Armin pinched his ass and blamed it on me!" We shared a laugh, almost getting to the point of tears.
I perk up and say "Remember the time we pranked Mike? And Hanji got everyone together and we all switched soap? Making everyone smell different?" Eren snickered and said "Yeah, he kept staring at everyone in confusion. Or smelling people and looking perplexed. Like how he looked at Erwin and asked him why he smelled like Armin." I snorted and laughed, smiling at him.
We both laughed and enjoyed the happy memories, steadily eating our food, which was always replaced by the house elves. I ate for a second before looking back at Eren, who was staring wide eyed at something behind me. I stiffen and ask "Eren? What are you looking at?" He blinks and says "Levi… That book right behind you… What does it say?"
I turn around, seeing a large red leather book right at eye height. The spine has thick, black letters going down it. I tilt my head and read "The Fall Of Humanity And The Rise Of Wall Maria..." My eyes widen as I stare at the book, before turning back to Eren, who looks as shocked as I do. Before he suddenly breaks out into a grin.
"The Library of Remembrance. Levi the library remembers! The library must copy everything important that happens." He says looking excited. I grin at him and pull the book from the shelf, finding it to be rather heavy, even for me. Eren moved his chair beside me and sat so that our thighs were touching.
I lay the book across our laps, as the book was about six inches thick, and was made of pure white pages, that seemed to contradict the obvious age on the book. The cover held the words The Fall Of Humanity And The Rise Of Wall Maria in curved handwriting. The cover also held a beautifully detailed picture of the walls on a map. I open it to the first page, which has the same gently curved handwriting. I look up at Eren who grins and says "Now this, is a history lesson I like."

And that's it for today. I'll have another chapter soon, and I may get smacked for this cliffhanger but, I GOT SOMETHING OUT ON TIME. So. Review, Comment.
