Garden of Love

Deep, deep into the Gardens of Hogwarts lies a secluded little pocket of garden.

With classical romantic sculptures of mythology's finest love stories,

Like that of Alcyone and Ceyx, Hero and Leander, Eros and Psyche,

And sweet smelling flowers that make any who past by feel that they've been shoot by the god of love...

It is the most romantic place Hogwarts has.

Welcome passerbyer to the Garden of Love!

Calista followed the butterflies into the garden, a garden she hadn't been in before.
Not that uncommon, as she'd not been at the school very long.
She glanced around, smiling as she noticed the familiar chocolate fragrence of the chocolate comos, her favourite flower.
((Really smells like chocolate! Love those flowers lol...))
She approached the flowers and sniffed one. But she couldn't help wondering where Armando was...

Armando held a breathe as the love of his life appeared. He approached her quietly until he was directedly behind her.

The butterflies flew away and in there place, fireflies decided to light up their night.

Calista suddenly had a feeling someone was behind her.
And she had a pretty good idea who.
She smiled slightly and turned around.
It was him.
Her smile widened. "Hello there stranger."

"You're so beautiful." Armando sighed at the sight of her.

He had a hand behind his back rolling the little velvet box he showed the Headmistress earlier in this fingers.

"And you are my handsome prince." Calista grinned, wondering why he had wanted to meet her out here...and what was with the butterflies?
She noticed the new fireflies and grew more confused.
What was he planning?...

((lol...I wonder...))

((Secret shhh! Shut up you butterflies!))

With his free hand he held Calista's. "I love you," He said. "I love you, more than anything in this world, and the next."

He let go of Calista's hand and kneeled down. He brought out the little box and opened it infront of her. "What I am about to ask you," he said his tone serious. "Is something I want you to really think about. I don't want you to feel like you have to, because of the baby or because I saved your life, or because of anything thing else."

He sighed. "If you feel like you can spend the rest of your life with me. If you feel like, for better or worst, till death... well death isn't really an issue anymore."

"I guess what I want to say is, I want you to answer me as if you, Calista Vaight, really want to.

He looked straight into her eyes, his heart on the chopping board. "Will you marry me?"

((lol...they're such terrible gossips!))

Calista was speechless...
For a moment...or two...or three...

"Armando...There's only one man I could ever marry..."

She shut her eyes for a moment, gathering her thoughts.

"And I know that man is you."

Her eyes fluttered open, shining bright as a supernova, radiating happiness.

"Yes. I will marry you, Armando Casillas." Tears of joy formed in her eyes and she blinked them away.

Armando beamed, happiest as he's ever been and went up, wrapped his arms around her and kissed her.

Calista wrapped her arms around her love's neck and kissed him back.
What would her father say?
But she didn't care.

He pulled away. Smiled and pulled the ring out of the box.

He took Calista's hand, kissed it, and slowly placed the ring on Calista's finger.

Calista's gaze was fixed on the ring, staring at it with incredible affection.
But when she finally broke her gaze free to look at Armando, her eyes became even more affectionate.

((lol))

"I love you so much." Armando said honestly.

"I love you more than anyone else in the whole world...you and the little one."
Calista let the tears roll down her face, which was shining with happiness.

"I thought I told you not to cry and more." He wiped the tears with his finger, yet his own eyes were tearing up as well.

Calista pouted. "Hypocrite. You're tearing up too and you know it."
But she smiled. She could never get mad at him.

Armando smiled and kissed her again.

Calista kissed him back, competely content.
Raoul would've had a fit...And her father would probably have dropped dead on the spot. But they didn't understand.

Armando suddenly pulled apart from Calista. "Did you hear that?"

Calista frowned. "No..."

"It was something over there," Armando gestured to the bushes. "Hang on," he took his wand out and muttered a spell. Red sparks hit the area.

Darien yelped and fell backwards.
"Oi!"
Calista gasped quietly, then glared daggers at the boy.
"What are you doing here?!"

"He isn't the only one Calista." Armando said walking over to where Darien was to investigate.

"Right, I'm here too." Diana said stepping out of the bushes.

Darien winced as he sat up. "Wasn't her fault. Don't hex her!"
Calista rolled her eyes. "What is this...spying class? What happened to privacy?!"

"Well we weren't exactly spying..." Diana said.

"What were you doing then?" Armando asked with his eye brows raised.

"Er..." Diana blushed and looked at Darien.
