"You're so strong, how are you so strong?" Harry asked, breaking the silence.

"If you want justice, you fight for it. You have to be strong." Y/N replied.

"I want to join you."

"You'll be in danger, Harry."

"If I die, I die. I don't care. As long as I'm fighting for the right."

"Wear black, then."

          The first time Harry saw her, it was during a protest. A megaphone in her hand, as she screams loudly, her words covered both in anger and in determination. He remembers how he was so enthralled by her immense beauty-and the moment she spoke, the moment she strongly spoke her heart out as she raised the red cardboard in her hand with the words "Neutrality means siding with the oppressor" painted in white, Harry knew he was a goner.

She stole his heart.

It was difficult really, falling in love with a woman that seemed too good on her own that a thought of being in a relationship didn't seem right. However, falling in love was one thing, courting her was another.

Harry approached her during Criminal Law, where she was engrossed in reading her books. Y/N was really fond of Criminal Law. Hell, she was really amazing at it. While Harry, on the other hand, couldn't even get a hang of it. He was more fond of the Law of Tort than Criminal Law, and he made his "lacking point" an opportunity to befriend her.

Three months into their friendship, Harry took a very deep liking to Y/N. Studying under the same degree did help them a lot. There were endless debates, and exchanging of opinions back and forth. It was healthy, but at the same time challenging. He was used to being at the top of the class, but with Y/N, she made things extra hard.

Besides, Harry loved challenges. And Y/N was one of them. After eight months of debates and arguments during class (and even under the tree besides the College of Science where Harry usually finds her studying at), Harry had taken his chances to tell Y/N he likes her.

However, the first time he had done it, Y/N was quick to reject the poor lad. But knowing Harry, he wasn't the type who would take 'no' as an answer; that's why he pursued his courting, determined to finally get her 'yes'.

          "We still have cases to study, Styles." Y/N rolled her eyes as she saw Harry approach her with flowers in his hand. Harry knew Y/N loved flowers, but of course, as any person who took pride in their independence and mystic vibe, Y/N denied the accusation done by Harry when he had asked her about it.

          "I know, but it won't hurt if you accept these." Harry replied as he sat beside her.

She playfully rolled her eyes again and retrieved the flowers from my hand. "This still doesn't mean I'll agree in going out with you."

          "I know."

          "What is this flower, anyway?"
