He wasn't kept waiting for long.

Harry laughed. "Alright then," he said, and walked across water to his awaiting date.
Posted in its full form on Ao3, except for the sequel and the eventual epilogue :). I'll be posting 5 of these per a day (I think?), but because it's long that might become 10 a day.
