⚜️POV: Elijah⚜️
Everything will be fine..... everything will be fine.....all is well...all is well.
My dead heart is beating in million seconds... I just can't describe how I am feeling right now I look at the ring on my palm...
I can do this I have been planning for this for months I have to.
Draco: Morgan???
Elijah: Draco.
Draco: Are you fine?
Elijah: umm huh yes I am... Why are you asking this?
Draco: Because you are standing like a statue and staring at the ring for quite some times.
Elijah: oh I did?
Draco nodded at him and he say
Draco: If am not wrong you are finally asking her.
Elijah: Asking her what?
He rolled his eyes and mutter
Draco:"both moron deserve eachother"
Elijah: Are you calling me a moron?
Draco sigh and mutter
Draco:"bloody hell fuck super hearing"
I raise my eyebrows and he give me a tight smile and say
Draco: No offence I am just saying that are you finally going to ask Harriet to marry you?
When I was about to answer him but someone interrupt us.
Ron: Hey mates how you two are doing?
Draco made a irritated face and give his best fake smile to him
Draco: What are you doing here weasle? If I remember correctly you are not a day drinker type.
Ron: I am not here for drinks but I will not mind if you have butterbeer in your menu ferret.
Draco: Matthew!
Draco call one of the waiter and give him order to bring drinks for us.
Ron: So... I hear you too are talking about marriage.
Elijah: ohhh I was thinking to ask Harriet to marry me.
Ron smirk and say
Ron: so finally it's happening everyone have waited for this moment.
Draco look at him amuse and say
Draco: I really expected you to show some tantrum.
Ron ignore him and look at me and say
Ron: How you are planning to propose her. I mean we can give some suggestions.
Draco: I can't believe I am saying this but I agree with weasle on that.
This was one of the rarest moment when they both agree on something.
Elijah: I really appreciate both of your help, few minutes ago I was just thinking about how I am going to do this.
Draco: You and Potter can go to dinner in a expensive restaurant and after dinner you can ask her to marry you.
Ron look at Draco and say
Ron: Didn't you propose Astoria the same way?
Draco: hmmm you are actually right.
Ron: Malfoy can you be more creative. Elijah How about....hmmm... you propose her like muggles do in thier muggle movies.
Draco huff at that
Draco: Wasn't that be too over the top.
Ron: Atleast mine plan is better than yours.
Before they can argue I interrupt them and say
Elijah: How about I just sing a song to her...
They look at me
Elijah: And confess my feelings for her through it.
Ron: That will work I think.
Draco: I will arrange the flowers and celebration drinks if you want me to.
Ron: I will lure her to come here.
Elijah: I just hope everything will be Perfect.
⚜️Few hours later ⚜️
I have been thinking about the song I am going to sing to Harriet while playing the piano as the song finish like always people give applauds to me. I starts to feel little thirsty and decided to drink some butterbeer.
While I was drinking I notice a lady sitting beside me she is not drinking the drink which she have for like 30 minutes so I decide to talk with her.
Elijah: Can I make a guess? you are either broke or you are a terribly drunk.
The lady raise her eyebrows and say
Lady???: Excuse me?
Elijah:You have been nursing the drink For like 30 minutes.
Lady???: Well, maybe there are some things that neither money nor alcohol can solve.
I remember what Harriet once told me and I say
Elijah: Maybe sharing the problem can get off the load on your shoulder and make your day less horrible.
The lady look at me and say
Lady???: Do you ever have an ex you just... can't seem to get out of your system?
Elijah: umm to be fair no..
The lady look little disappointed
Lady???: ohh... that's fine.
I decided to cheer her mood
Elijah: Can I recommend something a little stronger than Bordeaux?
Lady???: Oh I'm fine.
Elijah: You can try this.
Lady: What's that?
Elijah: This is butterbeer the best drink in the bar I promise you you will forget every worry if you drink this.
She laughed at that and say
Lady: If you say so...
She take a sip and say
Lady: it's good actually
Elijah: I told you so and by the way let me introduce myself with you I'm Elijah.
Lady: I'm Andrea
Elijah: It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Andrea.
Andrea: It's my pleasure too.
Elijah: So, what have you seen of London so far?
Andrea: Eh, pretty much just see inside of this wineglass and the bar.
Elijah: Yeah, it's not something that much special, but I love this place, you know.Can I say something ?
Andrea: Yes you can.
Elijah: I'm not sure it's the ideal location for the "how to forget your ex" tour.
Andrea: To be honest, I closed my eyes,picked a place on the map, and booked a flight and I actually only landed a few hours ago and You're the first person that I've spoken to.
Elijah: that's a compliment I guess.
Andrea: Can I ask you a question?
Elijah: Of course.
Andrea: You love it here, don't you?I mean... you're happy.
Elijah: It's love at first sight.Something feels right, you just don't question it.
Andrea: Is that because of someone special.
I chuckle at that and say
Elijah: Well there are some people in my life who made me love this place and give me something I imagine I will never have.
Andrea: And what's that ?
Elijah: friends, family and a home.
I notice a change in her expression like she is hurt by that
Elijah: What happened Andrea.
Andrea: Oh nothing just feeling a little home sick.
Elijah: oh..
We look at an old couple dancing on a song
Andrea:Do you think how rare that is?
Elijah: What do you mean?
Andrea: Loving someone for this long.
Elijah: Actually, until recently, Sylvie was a widow and Christophe was a bachelor.
Andrea:Oh.
Elijah: They got married in this place a year and a half ago, matter of fact.
That's teach me to be sentimental.
You ever feel like that?
Andrea: Like what?
Elijah: Like you were just destined for someone?
Andrea: Yes, once before.
Elijah: hmmm let me guess it's your ex.
She give me a sad smile and that was enough to say it was him.
Andrea: Do you ever feel like you have a soulmate.
I smile at that and say
Elijah: Actually I have already found mine.
Andrea: ohhh.....Yo..your soulmate is very luc....ky then.
Elijah: I will say I'm the lucky one to have her in my life....
I look at the old couple and say
Elijah: today I am going to propose her.
She stayed silent for a moment and say
Andrea: Con... congrats in advance I guess.....You really love her don't you.
Elijah: I just can't describe how much she meant to me.
Andrea: I think you deserve to have this all and to be happy.
I smile at that and say
Elijah: I hope you found your soulmate too.
Andrea: I think I will never find my soulmate....I have already lost him to other.
Elijah: Then that person is not actually the one for you maybe destiny have someone else for you.
I stay silent for a minute and then she breath in a relief and say
Andrea: Elijah, I wanted to thank you for giving me a beautiful day just when I needed it.You helped me more than you can ever know.I realized I'd been holding on to things that I shouldn't. If I had met my ex under different circumstances,without the legacy of pain that haunted him , things would have been different for us. My time with you helped to forgive him for the pain that he caused me, and remember the best parts of our lives together.And though I can't honestly say I'll ever get over him entirely, I-I can finally look forward, because of you. I'll never forget my time in London.And if by some chance we do meet again in another time I hope I introduce you to my other half of if I found one.
Elijah: I am happy that today I help you to take the small step to forget your ex.
While I was talking to her Ron comes to me and he say.
Ron: She calls me and she just arrives here. Draco told me everything is ready only you have to go to your position and do your magic.
I look at Andrea and say
Elijah:Will you like to meet her.
Andrea: I would really like but I have some other plans.
Elijah: It was really a pleasure to meet you.
Andrea: the pleasure was mine too.
She then starts to go the exit ,she then stop turn around and give me a nod I nodded back and she left the bar.
Ron: Who was she?
Elijah: One of many people who need a closure to move on in life
Ron sigh and say
Ron: that was too poetic for my understanding.... And just go to your position.
He practically drag me to the piano and make me sit on the seat.
While I am adjusting the piano I look at the bar entrance and saw Harriet coming inside.
Her black hair is messy like always when she comes back at home tired after the long shift of work. Her doe emerald eyes look tired from lack of sleep. She smell like bandages, medicine.
For others she look like a workaholic addict
But for me she is the most beautiful woman in my world..... oh Merlin even if she wear a garbage she will always be the one for me.
She looks at me and she sit on the chair she usually sit on and look at me.
My heart is beating nonstop and my senses get a little numb ,I'm feeling a little anxious about what will happen.
I take long breath and press a note in piano.
I starts to play the tune and over it I starts to talk.
Elijah: I have been working on this bar for like 3-4 years and played every songs you all have demanded for me to play but today is something different and special this is first time here I'm going to play a song to someone from my behalf. A someone who was with me in my darkest time, A someone who never leave my side, A someone who always stood for me ,A someone who show me beauty of life.
This is for you my darling
I starts to sing
Oh, her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shinin'
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her tryin'
She's so beautiful and I tell her everyday
Yeah, I know, I know
When I compliment her, she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so
Sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me, "Do I look okay?"
I say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are
Yeah
Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates, but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful and I tell her everyday
Oh, you know, you know
You know I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searchin' for, then just stay the same
So don't even bother askin' if you look okay
You know I'll say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are
The way you are
The way you are
Girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are
Yeah
I ended the song with the tune Harriet play when I saw her for the first time.
I stop singing and look at her everyone was clapping for me and giving me applauds but I have my eyes only on her, she have a unreadable expression on her face. I walk to her , I kneel down to my knees put the ring from my pocket and look at her and say
Elijah: Harriet lily Potter I have love you since the day I saw you. I still remember you were seating right there playing the piano. since that day you were the most beautiful women I have ever seen. After knowing you for nearly 4 years it just made fall for you even harder. You have nothing but understanding ,kind and compassionate to me. never judge me for my past and accept me for the person I'm now in present. Please give me this honour to marry you,I promise I will never let you regret any of these and fullfill your any wish. Will you please marry me.
She look shocked and she say
Harriet: Is this a dream?
I laughed a little at that.
Elijah: I knew that you are going to say this...Miss Potter this is all real.
She pinch herself
Harriet: Ouch!
She look at me tears starts to form in her eyes she gives a huge smile and say.
Harriet: Yes!!!!! Yes!!!! A million times yes.
She starts to jump excitedly like a child when they get something everyone was clapping and cheering at us and then I take her hand and look at her.
Elijah: Shall I?
Harriet: yes!!!
Tears of happiness are falling from her eyes and she hug me and kiss me on my lips.
Harriet: Lijah you know how much I love you.
Elijah: I know sweetheart I love you too.
Our forehead are touching each other like a two swans madly in love with eachother.
Harriet: Promise me this will always last forever.
Elijah: I gave you my words always and forever.
Harriet: Always and forever but I will not change my surname.
Elijah: as you wish my sweet lioness.
Everyone was celebrating and having drinks,singing,dancing of joy but no one knows some eyes is watching them without their knowledge.
