"Happy Valentines Day, love," Harry said.

I smiled wide up at Harry. He grinned at me, grabbing my hand and pulling me along.

"Are you nervous, Harry?" I asked. His hands were shaking a little, and sweating, even though it was freezing cold outside.

"No, no. I'm just fine," Harry said. The look on his face said otherwise.

I shivered, taking my hand back from him so I could wrap my arms around myself. We were walking up the road, over a blanket of fresh snow. And let me just say, it was not walking weather.

Harry seemed to notice that I was cold, taking his jacket off and draping it over my shoulders. "Here babe, let me help you out," he said, taking both of my hands in his. He held them up to his mouth, breathing out hot air in order to warm them up. After a few moments, he pulled my hands back down and rubbed them with his own hands, which were covered by gloves. Fuck, I should've worn gloves.

"Where are we going, anyways?" I asked Harry.

"Just walking," he said, smiling down at me. "You ready to turn back?"

"God, I thought you'd never ask," I said. We turned straight around, marching back through the snow.

Suddenly, Harry stopped in his tracks. He turned to face me. "Want a piggy back ride?" He smirked.

"Oh my god yes. Yes," I said enthusiastically, jumping up onto his back with no hesitation. It didn't take us near as long to get home, as Harry's legs were much longer than mine, and he didn't have to slow down so I could keep up with him.

When we stepped back into the warmth of my house, I gasped.

Red rose petals were thrown all over the floors. There were hearts drawn all over the chalkboard walls, and a movie set to play on the tv in the living room. There were two mugs on the coffee table, steaming hot. And last but not least, a stack of gifts on the floor in the middle of the room wrapped in white paper, each with a red bow.

"Harry, how did you..?" My smile was so wide, my fave began to hurt. In that moment I felt to overwhelmingly happy, it brought tears to my eyes.

"It's nothing, Moon," Harry said. "Just a little celebration, that's all."

"Aw, but Harry, this is just.. This is perfect," I said.

He looked down at me and giggled, finally seeming to calm a bit.

I walked over and sat on the sofa, grabbing a mug from the coffee table. As soon as I grabbed it, it warmed my hands and I instantly felt better.

I stripped off Harry's jacket, my jacket, my boots, and my toboggan, leaving me in just a pair of tight black skinny jeans and a black and grey long sleeve shirt.

"Mind if I go change?" I asked Harry, who had also stripped of his layers of warm clothes.

"Sure babe," he said. "Hurry back."

I nodded and smiled to myself. I went into my room, opening two different drawers in my dresser. From one, I grabbed a pair of grey sweatpants, and from the other I grabbed a fresh pair of socks. My other ones got wet, even with the protection of my boots.

When I was finally redressed, I walked out into the living room. Harry had changed into a pair of burgundy sweatpants and a grey long sleeve shirt. God, he looked amazing.

I sat down next to him on the couch. He had turned on some music, a song that I had never heard before, but a beautiful one none the less. "What is this?" I asked.

"Never Stop, by Safetysuit. Wedding version," Harry answered. I made a mental note of it.

My eyes scanned the room. This whole thing was beautiful. I looked to the gifts wrapped up on the floor, pulling the pile towards me. There were three medium sized boxes, one smaller box, and a card.

The presents were nice. One was a little red stuffed monkey, which immediately struck me as adorable. One was a box of chocolates. I ate them all right away.

The next box held a DVD. The Lion King. "Oh my god, thank you Harry!" I laughed out loud, jumping up and hugging him. I felt him smile against my neck.

The small box contained a pair of beautiful red earrings. I admired them for a minute, then smiled up at Harry. "Thank you," I said. "Thank you for all of this. You're so sweet."

Harry blushed. "That's not all, sweetheart," he said, handing the card to me.

I carefully tore open the envelope. The card was cute, light blue featuring a girl and a boy kissing in the rain. He had written in a note on the inside of the card in beautiful cursive.

I read the words and gasped, smiling down for a few minutes before looking up.

Artemis, I think I love you.

Harry's eyes met mine. He looked so nervous, so exposed, and so honest. In that moment, I knew it was true. There was no more doubt to be had.

"Harry, I think I love you too."
