She listened to the other conversations that were going on around her, quite happy to just sit there listening instead of being the one talking, for once. She did, however, completely miss the exchange between Aaron and Aurora...

Iris looked up when Aaron's hand left hers; raising an eyebrow curiously. Why was Aaron so adamant on standing up tonight? She swivelled herself round on the bench, with that her back was against the table so she could look at Aaron properly.

...

Something to tell her? Iris suddenly felt a bit numb, with an odd butterfly-like feeling in her stomach. Raising her eyebrows slightly, Iris tried to find her voice. "O-oh?" There was only two things that it could possibly be: something really, really bad; or something unbelievably brilliant... Why else would Aaron've needed to stand up for everyone to be able to see him? Iris really couldn't tell which it would be, she just really hoped it wasn't the first one.

Well, that was it. Everyone was watching... Aaron was the center of attention. Granted, he loved being the center of attention (why else would he be center chaser and captain of the quidditch tem?) but not this time. This was the most nervous he had been..... EVER. He looked at Iris, sitting there, watching him. He took both of her hands, feeling her warmth, and trying to send all he wanted to say to her..... But it wasn't working.

"Iris..." the boy began. "You have been my best friend my entire life." Off to a good start... "We met back in Diagon Alley 8 years ago, before our first summer at Hogwarts, and my life has been different ever since. You were always the woman I loved, and I couldn't imagine my life without you." Aaron's heart was pumping a thousand times a minute as all his words poured out of his mouth. Oh god, he had to continue, didn't he?

He took a step closer. "I love you more than words can describe... And I know we will always be together." And suddenly time stopped for Aaron. He recalled all the times in his life where he was his happiest. And they always were with Iris. From being introduced to Quidditch, to the pumpkin patch, making sandcastles, and the Yule Ball.

And then Aaron imagined their future. Living together... Having a family... Watching their kids go off to Hogwarts, to experience all the same experiences Aaron and Iris had, yet, with their own feelings and interpretations. It would be fantastic.

As time continued, Aaron went down on one knee. The dreaded 'One Knee.' GO FOR IT BUCKO! Aaron could only imagine what Iris was thinking. But Aaron only knew that it felt like millions of eyes were watching him, like their story was coming to an epic climax built upon since the beginning. And as Aaron reached into his pocket for a ring his FANTASTIC mom bought him. That was it. No turning back. Here it goes.

"Iris Beaumont. I want to spend the rest of my life with you... Will you marry me?"
