Monday, February 14, 1994 1:00 A.M.

After quickly running a brush through his hair—free of gel, Draco checked his watch and seeing the time threw down his brush and ran towards his door. Taking a deep breath, he opened the door and waited for his boyfriend of one month to come celebrate their first Valentine's Day together, and he wanted it to be perfect.

Leaning against the wall with his arms crossed dressed in charcoal pants and a black top with bands of rivets and zips on the long sleeves paired off with black and gray vans shoes, Draco hoped Harry liked his appearance as much as he did. It's not every day, Draco got to dress how he wanted. And today was definitely was the day that he was going to wear what he wanted.

Hearing a door open, Draco stood straight and smiled at Harry, who was dressed in a pair of gray and black rock star pants, a white button-up dress shirt, with black and red plaid creeper shoes topped off with a black driving cap with a small red lightening bolt on its left side to tame his wild hair.

Draco thought he looked gorgeous.

Pulling the other into his arms, Harry gently kissed him gently as his hands ran down the blond's back and onto his butt, which he gave a playful squeeze. Laughing, Draco playfully shoved him, “Happy Valentine's Day, my Love.”

“Happy Valentine's to you, too.” Harry smiled before pulling Draco back into his arms; chest to back. Leaning in, the Gryffindor began kissing below his ear, “So...do you want to exchange gifts now or later?” He asked in between kissing along the blond's neck.

Arching his neck in a better angle to give Harry more access, Draco reached behind him and grabbed a wisp of raven-locks that were sticking out of the back of Harry's hat, “Later, mmm, most definitely later. I want to do something else right now...” moaned Draco before turning around and kissing Harry passionately.

Tongue sliding along warm pink lips, Harry gently pushed the smaller teen against the wall. Back against the wall, lips now against throat, Draco ran his down the raven-hair's back and back up knocking off his hat, and finally grabbed a handful of hair as Harry brought his lips back to his.

“Four days, Dray..” Harry murmured against lips.

“I know...oh, sweet Merlin...I know...” Draco moaned as Harry grabbed a handful of his arse.

“Hey, guys are you done, yet?” Pansy asked as she and Fred walked out of her room hand in hand; looking completely snogged out.

Groaning in disappointment, Draco rested his face into the crook of the neck that he had been kissing just a second ago, “Great timing, Pans.” /He smells so good/ Draco thought before leaning in closer to smell him, making Harry catch his breath.

“Sorry, guys but if we want to go get something to eat before the movie, we have to go now...” Fred laughed just as the boys were about to kiss.

'Damn, it Fred...you and Pansy's bad timing...'

Giving a quick kiss to his boyfriend, Harry reluctantly moved away and picked up his hat from the floor as Draco straightened his clothes. Running a hand through his hair, Draco looked over Pansy and Fred.

Pansy was wearing dark denim skirt with a black sleeveless hoodie over a blood-red cami while, Fred wore a pair of dirty blue jeans, a black track jacket over a black t-shirt that read in green 'You have beautiful eyes, can I touch them?'

“You guys look nice.” Draco commented as Harry ran to the bookshelf and pulled out a bouquet of yellow roses with red tips.

“Happy V-Day, Pansy,” Harry said handing her the roses, “These are from Draco and I.”

“Thank, you boys. They're beautiful,” Pansy gasped giving each of the boys a hug as Fred put them in a vase that the room acquired for them.

“That they are, but you didn't get nothing for little ol' me?” The red-head playfully pouted making the other three laugh.

Grabbing his invisibility cloak off of the couch, “Are you sure you that Remus and Severus don't know where we're going?” Harry asked.

“Oh, no. They definitely know that we're sneaking out, that's why Remus plans on tailing us all night. Partly to watch over you,” pointing to Harry, “but mostly to watch that Harry doesn't take advantage of you.” Fred joked pointing at Draco, who blushed lightly.

Laughing Fred threw the cloak around them as Harry lent down and whispered into Draco's ear, “Remind me not to kiss you during the movie then...”

Eyes narrowing, Draco looked back at him, “Harry if you don't even try kissing me during the movie, I'll send Remy on you.” he threatened before turning to him and kissing him hard to prove a point.

Laughing Harry turned Draco around and squeezed him, “Well, I can't argue with that can I?” As they and the other couple snuck to the humpback witch, with Remus tailing them in a disillusioned spell.

Monday February 14th, 1994 2:30 A.M.

“Okay, now watch your step.” Harry cautioned to both Draco and Pansy as he and Fred led them into a dark room; two scarves covering their eyes.

“Harrrrry, are we almost there? My legs are killing me.” Draco whined.

“So impatient,” he teased before looking in Fred's direction, “Meet us back here at four, yeah?”

“You got it, Goldie.” Fred answered him taking Pansy into another room before shutting the door.

Leading Draco further into the room, he instructed the blond to sit in the middle of room on the floor. Making sure that he was okay, Harry went to a cabinet and pulled out a large wicker basket. Setting everything out perfectly, Harry grabbed his wand and turned on the ceiling lights. Looking up in satisfaction, Harry removed the scarf from Draco's eyes whispering for him to look up.

Doing as he was told, Draco gasped in surprise as realized where he was sitting; at a planetarium only just not a regular muggle one but a magical one. The ceiling was filled with stars, and planets along with their moons looking so real as if you were to reach out; you could actually touch one of them. But what caught Draco's eye was a cluster of stars that he recognized.

“Is that...?”

“Yup, that's you, my dragon.” Harry answered him as he came and sat down next Draco, stretching out his his legs as he lightly pecked Draco on the cheek.

Curling comfortably into his side, “this place is wonderful, Harry but how on earth did you manage for us to be here at three o'clock in the morning?” Draco asked as he continued to look at the stars and planets as they slowly rotated.

“Ah, you see...sometimes there are times when its truly great to be the boy-who-lived.” Harry smiled smugly making Draco laugh before he smirked that famous smirk of his.

“You know...I can think of other times that its good to be the boy-who-lived...” Draco said licking his lips before turning and climbing onto Harry's outstretched legs and wrapping his legs loosely around the younger teen's waist.

Biting his lip happily,” Ah, my thoughts exactly.” Harry said before kissing Draco gently yet passionately on the lips. Tongues fighting swiftly with another, Draco ran his hands up Harry's before grabbing hold of his hat and throwing it beside him so could run his hands through the raven locks.

(I swear Harry, just because you locked me out of that room does not mean I won't break the bloody door down...) Remus threatened as he heard Draco give out a soft moan and sigh through the door.

Minutes past into even more minutes as they continued to kiss when suddenly Harry's wand beeped, startling Draco, who looked around the room in question.

“Sorry, Draco...I spelled my wand to tell me when a half an hour passed.” Harry explained sheepishly.

“Well, that's certainly a mood breaker,” Draco drawled climbing out of the former's lap, “But no worries, because now we can open presents.”

Shaking his head in amusement, Harry pulled out a long thin box wrapped in dark blue wrapping paper, “You first.”

Smiling Draco unwrapped the gift and then opened the box to reveal a long silver chain and pendant. The pendant had two lovers embracing joyously.

“There's a story behind it...” Harry said clasping the necklace around Draco's neck before kissing said neck lightly.

“This necklace is called the Soulmate necklace; it represents Cupid and Psyche.”

Fingering it lovingly, Draco looked into Harry's green eyes, “Tell me, Harry?”

“Psyche was a beautiful mortal, so beautiful in fact that the goddess Venus becomes jealous of her. One day, Venus goes to her son Cupid and asks for him to make Psyche fall in love with the most vile and hideous creature, so all attention would be on her again. But instead something happened; he fell in love her himself. Soon he becomes her unseen husband only visiting her at night. Psyche is sworn not to look at his face unless she wants to lose his trust and his love for her. Then one day after a visit from her sisters, convincing her to look to see him; and out fear she does so and ends up losing him.

So heartbroken Psyche goes to the temple of Venus and asks for help. Venus gives her four cruel and difficult tasks to win Cupid back. But eventually, Cupid cannot bear her pain nor be apart for her any longer, so he appeals to the gods. The Gods seeing their love for one another makes Psyche immortal and marries them in heaven.

Cupid is supposedly represents the heart while Psyche represents the soul of the relationship. The embracing lovers are to represent that soul and heart and the ideal of finding your soulmate...” Harry finished explaining and grabbed the blond's hand, “While I may not be in love with you yet, I am slowly falling and to me...you are my soul, my Psyche. To see so much pain that you go through and to not be able to be with you during the day; is painful but if this is all I can have for now...I'll take it and cherish it with everything I have. Already I cannot see me living without you...”

Smiling tearfully, “I can't live without you either...every morning all I see and think about is how many hours are left until I can see you again, because Harry; you are my Cupid and I would do anything not to lose you. I'll never take it off, even if I have to spell it so nobody else can see it.” Draco admitted kissing Harry showing all of feelings through a short but sweet kiss.

Releasing the brunette's lips, Draco pulled out a small velvet box, “It's no where near sentimental as yours nor as great but...” he trailed off as Harry opened the box. /Please don't hate it./

Inside was a triple band ring, the two outer bands were in silver while the middle thicker band was in gold; each having a Latin phrase engraved into them.

“It's a Deus Natura Ring...” Draco explained while Harry slipped the ring onto his right ring finger and then ran a finger over each engraving, “The silver says 'Nature will always win' while the gold reads 'God and nature do not work in vain.' The ring symbolizes the triumphant harmony of nature and it's creator.

I got it for you because of you being pagan and all.” Draco said self-consciously.

“It's lovely.” Harry stated before giving Draco a peck making him smile.

“Now...let's eat...I'm starving...”

Monday February 14th, 1994 3:00 A.M.

“Here, Pansy it's not much but...” Fred said handing her a thin square box.

“Freddie, I told you you didn't have to give me anything...” Pansy smiled before opening the box to reveal a silver heart pendant necklace with Amethyst crystals and matching earrings.

Taking out the necklace, Pansy gasped in surprise at how expensive it really was, “Freddie it's gorgeous but it must've cost you a fortune.”

Shaking his head, Fred grabbed the necklace and clasped it around her neck, “It would've been if I had gone shopping by myself but take Harry and everything is a lot cheaper...” Fred smiled cheekily, “but even if I did go alone...I still would've bought it for you. You're worth every gallen.”

“Oh, thank you, Freddie!” Pansy exclaimed as she pounced on him kissing him passionately. Pulling her into his lap, Fred kissed her everywhere he could manage; lips, neck, cheek, forehead, and each eyelid gently before turning to her ear, “I love you, you know.”

Looking into his blue eyes, Pansy smiled as tears formed in her eyes before she kissed him with every emotion that she held within her; happiness, fear, pain, sadness, courage but most of all love, “I love you so much, Freddie, so much.”

Monday February 14th, 1994 4:15 A.M.

Meeting the other couple outside of the planetarium after their quick meal, Harry and Draco lead them to a muggle movie theater that played old and classic movies.

“So, what movie are we going to see, Harry?” Pansy asked snuggled up in Fred's arms.

“Star Wars. I've never seen it, but Dean says its a great movie.”

Monday February 14th, 1994 6:30 A.M.

“That movie was bloody awesome...I have to tell George about it later.” Fred commented coming out of the movie theater along with a yawning Pansy, while Harry pulled Draco into his arms.

“It was okay, I guess..but next time I'm picking the movie.” Pansy pouted cutely making Fred kiss her on top of her head.

“Did anybody else think that one Yoda guy looked a lot like one of our house-elves?” Draco asked off handedly from the crook of Harry's neck. Laughing the foursome began walking back to Diagon Alley when, Harry tripped over an invisible form.

“Ugh, that hurt...” Remus complained as he took off the disillusionment spell.

“Remy, what are you doing on the ground?”

“I fell asleep...you guys could've warned me that we would be out here so long.” Remus growled as they continued on.

(Bloody kids...and now I have to go back to teach even more bloody kids)

Turns out Remus wasn't a very nice wolf when one doesn't get their eight hours of sleep.


So...how was it? Is it too...lovey-dovey?

My fiance did take me to a planetarium for our first Valentine's together; five years ago. It was so romantic and everything...he still is. He even arranged for my middle name, the constellation to be out there, Karina.
