     I walked up the stairs leading to the Astronomy Tower. I had only come here a few times because of class but this would be my first time going for another reason.

The reason is Reggie.

     To say I was nervous wouldn't even describe what I was feeling. I was far worse than nervous. I don't even know why. Hell, I already kissed the dude so why would a date make a difference?

     As I reached the top, I saw Reggie leaning on the railing facing towards me looking up. Once he saw me, he lowered his gaze to meet my eyes. Those beautiful grey eyes.

He walked over offering his arm, "My lady."

     I laughed, "Your so cheesy."

     "Should I take pride in that," he asked jokingly.

     "Depends," I answered.

He leads me over to the railing tilting my head and making me look at the sky. I was expecting to see stars but instead, I was met by clouds.

"I don't like looking at the stars," he said answering my thoughts.

I tilted my head in confusion, "Why not? They are beautiful."

"It reminds me of my family and my duties. Traditionally we are named after a star or constellation," Reggie explained.

"Why clouds," I asked again.

He smiled gazing at the sky, "Every cloud is different. None is the same. The stars and constellations are always there, it's like a promise that our lives are written in the stars."

"You don't want your life written out for you," I guessed.

"I'd rather be a cloud than a star," Reggie whispered.

"That one looks like a bunny," I said instead, changing to a lighter mood.

He followed where I was pointing, "Your joking, that's a fairy."

"Fairy," I asked confused.

He started pointing at everything, "That's its face, and those are its wings."

"No those are bunny ears," I disagreed.

"What about that one," he asked pointing at another cloud passing by.

"That's definitely a heart," I yelled.

"It looks like a blob," Reggie said scrunching his nose up.

I sighed shaking my head, "It's a heart!"

"No it's a blob," Reggie said again.

I crossed my arms turning to him, "You're a blob."

"You're wearing purple," Reggie said changing the topic.

"Your favorite," I answered and then coughed and said, "Weirdo."

He pulled me against his chest, "No I just got class."

"Class my ass," I said shaking my head.

"I happen to like that ass as well," he responded wrapping an arm around my waist and another on top of my ass.

"You told me to dress fancy so I expect you to dance with me," I said looking at him with a challenge.

Reggie chuckled, "We haven't danced together in 10 years."

"Better get that practice in then," I said staring at his lips.

"Are you sure that's not an excuse to stay in my arms, I wasn't planning on letting go anytime soon," Reggie teased.

     I smacked his shoulder, "Just dance with me!"

     "Demanding, I like it," Reggie said with a smirk.

     "You like everything," I said rolling my eyes.

     "No, I like you," he said with a small blush.

     "Already knew that, I mean look at me. I'm beautiful," I boosted.

     "That you are," he said leaning down and staring at my lips.

     "No, dance first," I bossed placing my finger to his lips.

     "As you wish," Reggie said with a smile pulling me to the middle of the tower.

      I rested my head on his chest, "If we get married—."

Reggie cut me off correcting me, "When we get married."

"When we get married, I need you to dance with me every week," I said correcting myself.

"I swear I will," he promised.

There wasn't any music but we danced together as if there was. The brush of the wind, the glare of the moonlight, and the taps of our shoes surrounded us instead.

"Well if I have to dance with you then you have to sit on the rooftop and watch the clouds with me," he bargained.

     I stared at him, "You sir are not allowed to make a deal with me until I think you are fit to do so."

     "Why not," he whined.

     "I think you know why," I said shaking my head with a smile.

     Instead of saying anything, he just put his chin on my head and swayed us around.

After a while, he finally asked, "Can I kiss you?"

"Nope," I said popping the 'p'.

He looked at me offended, "What?! I thought you wanted to kiss me!"

"Just because I want to doesn't mean that you earned it," I teased.

He pouted, "When will I earn it?"

"When I think you have been nice to everyone, including your friends," I said.

"I'll be on my best behavior," he vowed.

"We will see," I hummed.

"Come on," he said taking my hand and leading me to the stairs.

The clinking of my heels was the only thing heard before I asked, "Where are we going?"

"It wouldn't be a proper date without food," he said.

"Stop walking so fast," I whispered struggling.

"Let's make this easier on both of us," he said picking me up bridal style.

I clasped my hands around his neck placing my ear to his heart and joked, "It's not our wedding day just yet."

"I'm going to treat you like it is every day," he answered.

I raised an eyebrow, "You've been making a lot of promises tonight."

"I intend to keep them," he promised once again.

"I hope so," I said as we reached the painting of a pear.

"To get in—," Reggie started explaining.

I cut him off reaching up to tickle the pear until it turned into a doorknob, I then twisted it and looked at Reggie, "You were saying?"

He shook his head, "Why am I not surprised?"

"I'm Sylvie Malfoy," I said.

"No I think I like Sylvie Black better," Reggie said with a smirk.

"Oh do you," I asked looking up at him.

"I very much do," he whispered.

With my hands still clasped around his neck, I leaned up and stared into his eyes, "You're so hot."

"Does that mean I earned a kiss," he asked a smile playing on his lips.

"That's still a no," I said as our lips almost touched, our breaths surrounding us.

"But—," he started saying.

I cut him off connecting our lips, "Shut up and kiss me."

Reggie hummed, "Bossy, I like it."

All of a sudden I heard gagging noises from behind up. Reggie and I pulled apart staring behind us. The only thing we saw was 4 pairs of shoes walking on their own.

"I know Hogwarts is weird but I have never seen 4 pairs of shoes walking by themselves," I whispered to Reggie.

"Me neither," he said tightening his grip on me.

Once hearing that, the shoes froze and disappeared.

I screamed, "What the fuck?!"

"Fuck."

"Shit."

"This is your fault!"

     "Both of you, stop fighting! No cursing either!"

     "What he said."

     "Shut up Wormtail."

     "No one asked you."

     "Be nice."

     "Who do you think I am?"

     "We are still here you know," I finally said halting the argument.

     Reggie had a different response, "Sirius?"
