Today was another normal day. Actually, this whole week had been uneventful, nothing much happened after we snuck out last night. We didn't get into trouble or anything, just really peaceful days with nothing remarkable happening. It was really insipid to the point where I lost track of time.

I crawled under the covers to wrap this day up when Verus, my owl crashed into my window. I jumped out of bed immediately, startled by the loud noise he made.

"Verus," I let the bird in, "Are you okay?"

The bird shook his head and held out his right claw with a note attached onto it. I removed the note and unrolled it carefully.

Meet me in the courtyard
~S.S~

Severus? What did he want? It was already 11 p.m. and we just saw each other just now. But why meeting in the courtyard and not his office? I decided to push away those questions. For whatever reasons, it had to be important since he called me out this late.

I put my  robe on and crept out of the room quiet as a mouse. I didn't want to wake Hermione up, she could be really cranky if she didn't get enough sleep.

Luckily, I managed to slip past Mrs. Norris and Filch without hassle.

I scanned the courtyard, but Severus was nowhere to be found. Was this another prank? The twins? No, they couldn't have, I knew their patterns. Suddenly, a pair of wide palms covered my vision.

"Wha- Who are you?" I struggled to peel off those hands, and that was when I felt funny; my head was spinning and I had the urge to throw up. I fell on my knees as soon as those hands let go.

"You okay?" asked a familiar man as I was puking my gut out.

"Severus! You could've done this in a gentler way," I whined. "Wait, this is not the courtyard,"

"We apparated," Severus looked around the meadow we were in.

"It's beautiful," I took his hand and stood up, "But why?"

"Why what?" he took a glance at his pocket watch.

"Why here? Why now?" I bombarded him with questions.

Just as the clock striked 12, Severus got on one knee and pulled out a ring from his pocket.

"Happy birthday, (y/n)." he slid the ring into my middle finger.

"Thank you, Severus." I pulled him up and jumped into his embrace, "You remembered?"

"I saw the calendar on your memory during our first Occlumency class," he ran his fingers through my hair.

"Thank you, Severus. For everything," I hugged him even tighter.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" he lifted my face so our eyes met.

"I... I thought you'll never ask," tears of joy started to pour out of my sockets.

"Hush," he crashed his lips against mine, causing my eyes to widen in shock and my blush grew.

My brain lagged as it tried to process everything that had just happened. This event was clearly unexpected. I was overjoyed, but I just didn't know how to react.

"Sorry, (y/n). I must've gone too fast," he pulled away and rubbed the back of his neck.

"No," I smiled and pulled him closer, allowing our lips to meet.
