Prompt: First Kiss

Song: Only You Can Love Me This Way- Keith Urban

All eyes were on me, they were all looking at me as I stood in front of them to speak.

Me. 

The shyest Hufflepuff to ever be a Hogwarts, I took a deep breath closing my eyes letting my mind wonder to when I first meet Katherine Morgan. I remembered my two fondest memories of us, our first meetings, and our first kiss. Without even knowing my mouth opened and words spilled out.

It was a cool winter night, when we first met. It was dark, I couldn't see where I was going and had to be on a look out for Flich,  I had snuck out of the Hufflepuff common room to go and get some food when I bumped into her. I helped her up but she wasn't mad she just laughed giving me a bright smile.  

Katherine Morgan. 

The girl who made me into the man I am today. She was looking at me as I stared dumbly back at her, she was stunning for only being a thirteen year old. Finally she asked for my name.

"Ethan Walts," I told her shyly as I was looking at my feet, I heard her giggle and she spoke again.

"Katherine Morgan," a beautiful name, just like she was.

After that I didn't see her again, it wasn't until almost the ending of winter that I got to hear her beautiful voice. Imagine my surprise when I saw she was a Slytherin. She wasn't anything like them she laughed while others glared. She smiled while others frowned. She was different from everybody and I loved that more than anything else in the world.

One morning when I was walking to my house table I heard my name being called out.

"Ethan!" I turned and saw Katherine waving me over.

I ducked my head but made my way towards her anyway. 

"Yeah?" I asked lowly, I could feel everyone staring at us it was making me feel uncomfortable, yet as I saw her smile at me the feeling went away and I stood up taller. 

"Nothing, I just wanted to say hi to my new friend," smiling at my shocked expression she patted my shoulder and walked away from me and out the Great Hall. It was the start of our beautiful relationship and how my life all of a sudden got crazy.

That night as I was going back to my common room. Hands shot out of a classroom and I was thrown into a chair. I was scared and my hands were tied behind my back where they couldn't reach my wand in my pocket.

I looked up to my kidnappers and my heart stopped what the hell were the Marauders going to do to him. He had done everything to make sure he was never in sight of their pranks, he made sure he was never around in case something went wrong and they wanted to blame the nearest person.

"Don't worry were not going to hurt you," Remus Lupin, the quietest of them all tried to comfort me but it wasn't working, I was still struggling to try and let my hands free.

"You were talking to Katherine Morgan," that stopped my struggling completely and I looked up at Sirius Black when he spoke, he had a smirk on his face that I wanted to wipe off.

"How?" Sirius continued.

"It doesn't matter," I responded stiffly, he was asking about Katherine he didn't know how answer him.

"Of course it matters! I've been trying to get her to go to Hogsmeade with me for almost two weeks, and just when I think I'm about to get a chance you show up?" Sirius snarled at me and I tried to look at Remus or James for help but they were looking away.

I stood my ground as I spoke "she deserves better then you," 

Sirius grey eyes hardened and the next I knew I was covered in a sticky blue slime, feathers all around me. My hands were untied but it was too late. The four boys just left the room laughing and Sirius glaring at me darkly. I noticed Peter stayed a little behind.

"I'm sorry," he muttered as he was leaving he dropped a piece of paper.

I went to grab it and as I did a purple smoke engulfed me, and eggs came crashing down on me. He thought Peter would help him a little. Tears were gathering in my eyes by then. I didn't let them out, I wouldn't let those bullies get to me.

Then with my luck, I just had to bump into Katherine as I was in my way back to the dorms. 

"Ethan?" she asked hesitantly.

I just nodded wordlessly.

"Sirius?" She asked once again and I flinched at the sound of his name.

"Oh that good for nothing, I hate him so much, who the hell does he think he is? Treating my friends like this because I won't go out with him!" she ranted on and on and finally when she was through she grabbed her wand and said the counter curse for the spell.

Katherine then grabbed me into a tight hug. I held her tightly promising to myself that I would never let her go on a date with Sirius Black. I told her to forget him, and I was right. Slowly he forgot about her and I and the bullying towards me stopped. I thank him now, if that hadn't happened it might have changed what happened three years later.

Our first kiss.

Two winters later, I asked her to be my girlfriend. She tackled me to ground in a tight hug. It was like Sirius finally fully gave up and left us alone when he saw us hugging one night as I walked her to the Dungeons , or it had to do with the fact that he was crushing hard on the Ravenclaw prefect.

This brings me to the best memory that I have with her. It was the following winter, we were on break and we were in muggle London. I found us a place in the middle of a town where a tall Christmas tree stood and couples were dancing away the night. 

I took her dancing that night, her parents were Pure-bloods who didn't care about anything but there little girl being happy. Mine, well they were just happy I finally found someone to call mine. 

We danced and danced and finally a slow song came on and the words that were being sung described exactly what I felt for her. I twirled her out of my arms and then back in where I dipped her  I was looking into her beautiful brown eyes, and slowly I leaned in and our lips met. It was amazing, it felt like my life was complete. It was our first kiss and it was perfect. She was looking at me with those brown eyes happy and I knew then she was the one.

After making me wait a year to get her first kiss, I couldn't be happier that she loved it and I too did as well.

I cleared my throat and looked at the crowd staring as I spoke of the two memories of us that I loved the most. I looked at Katherine who was at my side in tears, I continued to speak. 

"Going back to our first kiss, I remember the song playing in the background and I never really found it until just a few months ago. It was perfect, because for the first dance of the night I want to dance with my new wife to the song we shared our first kiss too," I said holding up my wine glass "to us," I toasted looking at the women beside me happily.

I led her to the dance floor her white dress flowing behind her, a nice soft tune started playing.

"It is our song," she whispered as we danced together, "I can't believe you remember the song we first kissed too," she told me.

"Not just that, it's the song we share a first kiss as a married couple, I love you so much," I whispered to her and then twirled her out and back into my arms, where she was always supposed to be at. Then I dipped her in the same movement of our first kiss.

"You've made me the happiest person alive, I love you too," Katherine told me and our lips met in a sweet kiss that was just as amazing as our first.

you're never far behind
And there's no one that comes close to you
Could ever take your place
Cause only you can love me this way...

A/N 1,511 words! I felt like it was a cute fluffy one-shot.

I kinda made the Marauders really mean in this...but I can imagine they were bullies to others besides just Severus. I really hope you enjoyed it!
