Harry's POV
-
We walked through the waterfall, hand in hand, our eyes closed, giggling while we got soaking wet under the water but then we were out and I felt cool air blow drying my skin.
I didn't let go of Louis' hand as I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was him. He was standing right in front of me, eyes closed and he had crinkles by his eyes from smiling so big. He looked so beautiful. His hair covered a bit of her eyebrows, his lips were pink because of the cold and I saw a water droplet leave his hair and rest on his long eyelashes before rolling down his cheek.
I smiled at the sight and raised my hand to swipe his hair off his forehead, causing him to open his eyes.
His smile didn't falter a bit and his eyes were shining, making me smile even brighter. He moved his hand to my right cheek, digging a gentle thumb in the dimple.
It looked almost as if he was glowing and then I looked towards the place, causing my jaw to drop. I could see Louis' reaction from the corner of my eyes and from what I could tell, we had the same expression.
The place was so beautiful, it left me breathless. I didn't think there was a place more wonderful than the part of the forest on the other side of the fall but yet, here we were, standing on what looked like magical grass. It was more colorful here, there were butterflies and birds but no big animals as if even they hadn't found this paradise.
There was a craving on a wooden sign that read "princess park" and I knew instantly that this was indeed a magical place.
There were even fireflies around. Fireflies. It was dark and they actually seemed like stars had dropped from the sky and were hung around here. There were lights around too and the view was just perfect. I looked back at Louis who's eyes seemed to shine brighter as he scanned around the place.
"It truly is magical." He said and I just looked back at the view.
"This place was created by fairies. I can feel it around here. The magic." I whispered even though I knew no one was listening.
"How can someone who created something so beautiful be called monsters?" Louis asked, his voice just as low as mine. I just shrugged and he pulled my hand as he walked in.
"Look," I mumbled and pointed towards a bunch of fireflies gathering together. Louis looked over and we could see the flies forming a shape. It was so heavenly, the way the flies gathered to form a dear.
It lasted a few seconds before disappearing.
"This place is-" Louis trailed off looking around more.
"Lovely? Charming?" I offered. He looked back at me, his eyes staring right into mine.
"Beautiful," he breathed.
I offered him a soft smile, "it is."
We stayed here, just gazing at each other for a few seconds before diverting our eyes.
Louis nodded his head towards something behind me and then let go of my hand just to grab my waist and turn me around.
It was a girl, standing in the kidding of the trees with a horse by her side, conversing with it.
"That's an eco," I whispered to him. "It's memories of what happened here. Of the magical creatures around.
"Is that a unicorn?" Louis asked and I turned my neck to look at his mischievous smile.
"Sure it is." I replied and looked back at them just in time to see them fade away. And then there was a wolf, by the water, looking so peaceful as it drank. It had different ears, though. It was some sort of a creature that I had never seen. Then again, I hadn't seen a lot of things. Only heard about them from his mum and Gemma, his sister.
I turned us around and saw a tree with pink leaves and fireflies surrounding them.
"I'm coming here again." Louis stated as he admired the plant. I smiled and rested my chin on his shoulder. Suddenly realizing what I was doing. A wave of slight panic struck me but Louis didn't look like he minded. I looked at him with a smile, still deciding to ask if this was ok.
"Can I do this?" I asked him softly. He glanced at me with a small smile.
"I don't mind." He replied and looked back at the place. I smiled to myself and grabbed his hand gently, it wasn't necessary really, but I wanted to, and pulled him to particularly nowhere. Looking around at the different flowers and trees before me sat down and looked around at the sky, the water reflecting the light, the magical nature.
We didn't talk much, but then, we didn't need to. It felt so good just being here, right now. Louis sneezed beside me, causing me to look at him. He had a glowing flower in his hand and what looked like glowing pollen all over him.
I huffed out a chuckle, "what did you do?" I asked and he looked at me with a guilty smile. I couldn't help but laugh at that and he joined me only a couple seconds later. As we laughed, we saw a butterfly flying towards us. It wasn't just any butterflies. It was glowing and I had never even heard about such a creature. It was just as beautiful as the rest of the hidden forest as it flew toward us. Louis' eyes reflected the shine as his eyes followed the thing. The butterfly circled us once before disappearing and we were left staring at each other once again.

After some while, we had to leave the place and we were wet once again as we traveled back to the palace. We said our goodbyes pretty awkwardly before walking into our room.
I may or may not have been smiling like an idiot as I closed my eyes and went to sleep, but if I was, I'm not going to admit it.
