She kept pacing the floor anxiously "Isilvana sit...he'll be here" "He's thirty minutes late Luna...Where is he?" playing with her hair. Her anxiety was getting the best of her "I need to throw up" and quickly ran over to her trashcan. Luna walked over and held her hair "You must really like him" she said with a smile "I think I do" wiping her mouth with her towel. Luna helped her get freshened up "See still beautiful and you don't smell like throw up" they all laughed. Isilvana went to sit on the couch letting out a loud sigh "What is the matter Isilvana?" she just looked down at her hands "What if...what if I'm not enough?" "Don't be silly Fred is over the moon with you" and hugged her friend.

*knock knock*

She goes to open her door and it's Fred looking very handsome in an all black suite "I was starting to worry you were not coming" she looked like she wanted to cry "Don't be silly darling" and he was handing her a beautiful single rose "For you my dear" she felt so happy. She looked at him "Awww thank you, i feel bad I didn't get you anything" "You as my date is the best gift" "You guys are just too adorable" Luna and Hermone said and off they went.

They were walking in awkward silence until "If I'm being honest here Fred I really didn't think you fancied me" she said looking down at the ground "I mean the way you treated me and not to mention all of the girls you've been with. Also being told by others you'd never go for someone like me...like how could I compete with that?" still looking down.

Fred felt horrible for what he had put her through "Ah those girls are just jealous as yes I did only use them for one thing but they...they were not you so really it was all empty to me" trying to make her feel better.

She did end up lifting her head "They must be right, I mean look at you...you're freckin handsome as hell" she said blushing "Oh playing modest now are we? Don't play dumb when you know the power of your own beauty. That is why the girls told you we would never work out" giving her a flirtatious smile. She could feel her cheeks getting warm "Yeah how so?" "Well their beauty came more like plain Janes' where as your beauty...well your beauty has poems about it" he said stopping them from walking and looked into her eyes.

He leaned in and gave her a gentle kiss and giving her a smile when coming back up "So where are we going?" she asked eagerly "It's a surprise, you'll have to wait, but for now let's have you close your eyes" and with the flick of his wand he made her eyes close shut. She was touching her eyes "Well that's not fair" he just let out a laugh "C'mon now you don't wanna ruin the surprise now do you?" and she just let out an angry huff. He had led her down a hall and to some stairs to climb and there she could finally have her eyes open again, once opened she had seen they were on the top garden area and it was a beautiful garden, she also saw a small table with some candles floating around.

Isilvana was in awe at what she was looking at "Now I know it's not some fancy restaurant bu-" "I love it Fred, it's absolutely enchanting" she spins around to give Fred a big hug, he just lets his face fall into her hair, "She smells like lavender and mint, I wish we could stay like this" he thought. He guided her to the table and with his wand lifted the covers off their plates exposing two steaks with roasted peppers and shepherd's pie, with some red wine. She covered her mouth with her hands "This is honestly the most romantic thing anyone has done for me as a 1st date, I can't even find the words" giving him a big smile.

Fred stepped up to her "Well I just wanted to show you how much of a queen you are to me and may I prematurely say...I love you" she nearly choked on air when he said this "I know it's early and only been a month or two, but you need to know no one is going to love you better than me. I want to stick with you forever, so Isilvana will you be my girlfriend?" he asked waiting for an answer. This really did take her back "Fred" she said with such yearning in her eyes and fidgeting with her fingers. He noticed that it was making her nervous "You don't need to say anything back right now, let's enjoy the meal" and dropped it for the moment.
