Harry's POV

(Non-Magic AU)

Draco and I walked down the street, holding hands. We passed a small group of people playing instruments, and I considered putting some money in the small container next to them.

"Let's listen," Draco said, pulling me over to a small table a few feet away from the performers. I sat down in a bench, quickly latching our hands back together. The performers started to strum a familiar tune, and I smiled, knowing this was draco and my song. I leaned my head on his shoulder.

"We need a singer for this song," a girl said into a microphone. "Draco, would you care to come up and help us?" she asked, smiling. My eyebrows furrowed in confusion, and I quickly looked up at Draco, who shot me a smile as he got up. A confused look plastered on my face, I turned towards the small platform they were standing on. The same girl handed Draco a ukulele, and he spoke into the mic.

"Harry James Potter...I love you. We've been together for six years, and I want this to go on for the rest of our lives. This is for you," he said. I smiled, a blush flushing my face. Then he started singing.

"Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you.
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin?
If I can't help...
Falling in love with you.
Like a river flows,
Surely to the sea,
Darling so it goes,
Some things
Were meant to be.
Take my hand
Take my whole life too.
'Cause I can't help falling in love with you.
Like a river flows,
Surely to the sea,
Darling so it goes,
Some thing were meant to be.
Take my hand
Take my whole life too.
'Cause I can't help falling in love with you.
'Cause I can't help falling in love with you."

By then, a lump was forming in my throat, and he motioned for me to come onstage. I hesitantly stood, adjusting my shirt and wiping my eyes. Draco grabbed my hand and looked at me.

"But I can't help...falling in love...with...you," he finished. I hugged him tightly, and he kissed my cheek. Then, in a matter of seconds, he was on one knee, and fumbling with a small box. He opened it, and revealed a ring. I gasped, quickly covering my mouth as tears blurred my vision.

"I love you. Will you marry me?" he asked. I choked out a sob and nodded. Tears were also rolling down Draco's cheek, but he was holding it back much better than I. He slipped the ring onto my finger, and kissed me again. Loud claps filled the street, and I looked over. Standing in front of the crowd, was all my friends. Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Luna, Neville, and even Fred and George. Draco's mother was also there. I cried even harder, and stuffed my face into Draco's shoulder. He rubbed my back, and finally he pulled away.

"I love you, scarhead," he told me.

"I love you too, Draco." We shared a kiss, then walked into the group of friends.
