He was always looking forward to meeting Min on a Hogsmeade weekend, but he was even more so today as it was a special day for them. Valentine's Day.. which also meant they had been dating for exactly three years now. Unfortunately the day brought back some bad memories as well, ones that he pushed back to the far recesses of his mind. He would not let the events of last year ruin this day for him - for them - ever again. But it also meant no flowers today.. something that he struggled with.. but he knew it was for the best at least for now. Today was going to be a happy one.
As he stepped inside, the 19 year old gave a cursory glance around, wondering if she had beat him here this time. He chuckled to himself thinking about the first time he had visited the Three Broomsticks, then spotted Minerva not far away. His smile growing as he approached, he stopped in front of her, green eyes taking in her appearance.
"You look breathtaking," he grinned, then took her hand in his, lifting her hand and pressing his lips to the back of it. Releasing her hand from his grasp, he took the seat opposite her and set his bag on the floor next to him.
"So.. Happy Valentine's Day.. and three years.."
Minerva was playing with her bracelet and being fidgety, not that she had been waiting long or bored, just excited to see Ethan again, excited that they had now been together three years. Three years it didn't seem that long, but at the same time they had been through so much together already. He had dealt with so much because of her. She let her mind wonder to different things as she waited, but something caught her eye and she looked up just in time to hear his voice. A blush went through her cheeks at his words.
"Well I wanted to try to look nice since it is a special day." She beamed up at him.
She bit her lip as she watched him take her hand and kiss it. Her heart skipped just as it always did.
"You look pretty amazing yourself." She wanted nothing more to stand and give him a kiss, but she would be patient there was plenty of time for that. Another smile crossed her at his words,
"You've dealt with me for three years, someone should really give you a medal." She couldn't help but chuckle as she watched him sit across from her. Taking his hand once he was sitting she wasn't ready to let go yet. Nope she would hold his hand for awhile longer.
"Happy Valentines Day, I love you." It was so nice that it had fallen on a Saturday this year and that it was a Hogsmeade weekend. How great was that!
Finally releasing his hand she leaned to the bag that was at her feet.
"I did get you a few things, kind of like your birthday they are a bit silly or dorky, so sorry." She thought they were cute, but to a guy they might not, but she figured Ethan would at least appreciate the thoughts. She picked up the red
bag and handed it over the table.
