"What are these?" Hermione asked, holding the goggles in her hand with a curious expression on her face. "And why are you grinning like that?"
Dennis didn't even try to hide his huge grin. He'd listened to everything that she spoke about, he'd remembered everything that she'd wanted to do and he had been plotting this for weeks ever since he'd read about it.
"Put them on," he urged, placing his own on.
"But what are they?" she repeated, still not putting them on. He sighed and took them from her hands, putting them on her himself. "Dennis!"
"No, Hermione," he chuckled. "Just trust me, okay?" He stared intently at her and she nodded her agreement, allowing herself to be pulled outside. He led her to a blanket where a picnic basket rested beside it.
"Dennis, I'd believe this to be a romantic picnic if it wasn't for these geeky glasses."
Dennis snorted at her, rolling his eyes behind his glassed.
"Just sit and wait," he told her as he sat down.
"Wait?" she asked, plopping down beside him. "What are we waiting for?"
"I can't believe you don't know what today is," Dennis gaped. "You've wanted to watch one for years, and you don't even know!"
"Watch an-?"
"Eclipse!" he told her excitedly. "You told me how you wanted to watch one two years ago and so, I've granted your request."
Her small smile turned into a huge grin as she registered his words and turned her attention to the sky. He couldn't believe how unobservant she'd been to not have heard about it or to have even registered the changes in the sky that indicated an eclipse. Oh well, they were there now.
Throughout the eclipse, his attention was split between her and the sky. He knew that it wasn't completely rare to see one but he also knew that it was still memorable. He was also aware that seeing the pure happiness and excitement on her face was worth it.
"I hit the jackpot when I married you," she breathed when it was over, wrapping her arms tightly around him as she pulled him to her. She peppered kissed all over his face, throwing his geeky glasses away from them. "I'm so lucky to have you."
"I consider myself just as lucky," he replied, pulling her down for a deep kiss.
"I love you."
"I love you, too."
