Harry simmered in his thoughts finding peoples reactions of his relationship, and more importantly their engagement, finding it utterly ridiculous. Ever since his blow out with Ron the youngest male Weasley gave him a wide berth which he was fine with. While they had been friends organically at the very beginning Harry began to suspect either Molly or Dumbledore began to use compulsions when they had a temporary split during the Tri-Wizard tournament and Rons jealous temper tantrum. A delicate touch and slim arms around his neck broke his concentration as green eyes met blue.

"What are you thinking so intently about my lion? Your glare was so focused and intent you were scaring people from sitting anywhere near you, myself Neville and Luna excluded of course" Daphne said tilting her head toward the other blonde witch proof-reading her fathers latest draft of The Quibbler before it went to publication while humming an off-beat melody and eating pink pudding. "She is quite strange you know. Brilliant but strange."

"The same could be said for you Daphne. Or for Harry. Everyone is unique in their own way so to label someone strange when they could turn it around on you is a wasted endeavor" Luna said looking up from her puddling and the magazine, her wand holding her hair up in a fairly loose bun. "Oh and Harry do find something positive to think about. The Wrackspurts are positively infesting the space around your head and in the midst of of building a village in your hair."

Daphne rolles her eyes internally and ruffled Harrys hair to 'disrupt' the Wrackspurts efforts. She didn't readily believe the other blonde witch about the creatures she claimed to see but she'd be dumb to not give Luna the chance to prove they were real. After all, Luna barely knew her but she wholeheartedly supported her and Harrys relationship so she owed it to the petite blonde. "The only thing that gets to build a village on or in Harrys head is me and it won't be a village. Oh no, its a palace for certain" she said with a cheeky smirk as she leaned forwars nipping her fiancés ear gently. "And damn right that palace will be full of our children when we are ready for them." Dragging her teeth down the tender flesh for affect she couldn't hold back the coy look at Harrys reaction when she finally pulled back.

Harry nealy choked on his spit at the last comment. Sure he loved Daphne to death and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. Sure he wanted to one day have a family with her, little girls with her hair and his eyes while the boys had his trademark untameable hair and her eyes, but to so boldy put it like that was so.. so unlike Daphne. She was the mistress of subtle, the queen of downplaying and to be so forward was out of character for her. Still, two could play that game. "And how many children would that be? If I'm to build us a palace then the implication says there will be many little princes amd princesses running around" he said with his best coy return tone though it was not as effective as Daphnes had been.

The blonde witch was amused and gained a gleam in her eye not unlike a cat on prowl. "Mm, as many as your heart desires. I promised you I would always give you one hundred percent of me though I ask you to be reasonable. We don't want to be like the Weasleys and have like eight kids so close in age to each other. The sex might be mind blowing but I am human dear" Daphne said tapping Harrys nose with her finger.

"I'd be happy with just four, two beautiful girls like their mother and two boys like me. If we had more than it is a blessing from Morgana herself to bless us with a large family to love and I would love you even more than I do now. That should tell you a lot Daph" Harry said with a soft smile as he leaned in close and stole a kiss.

"Ew, mummy and daddy are kissing!" Luna said imitating the whining grossed out tone of a kid perfectly. The way it made the couple break their kiss and cough hard trying to catch their breath made her giggle softly. It was always so fun to mess with Harry a little and truth be told he did remind her in someways of her father. Protective, loyal, loving and mischievous- it was no wonder he was a gryffindor like her father had been. 'Come to think of it, Daphne does remind me of mummy a bit too' she thought tapping her chin with a thoughtful look.

Daphne glared half-heartedly at the petite blonde witch and made a shooing motion. If Luna wanted to play it like that so be it. "Go play with your brother. Mummy and daddy are having a moment" she said using an authoritative tone her own mother would use when annoyed. The gleam that filled Lunas eyes made her nervous for a moment though she was not sure why.

Luna turned with a little smirk to Neville who was idly sat nearby reading a herbology text and completely oblivious to the world. Oh if Daphne wanted to play along she would get what was coming. Hell, Neville might play along with her and enjoy it too. "Oh brother dearest" she said with a sweet tone drawing Nevilles attention. "Mummy and daddy are having a moment. She told us to go play." She grinned coyly and took his hand yanking him to his feet. "Lets go play doctor! I get to be the patient first though."

Harry and Daphnes eyes were wide as platters as Luna dragged a stupified Neville out of the Great Hall, the stunned young mans only answer a blush and a stuttered 'Wh-what did you say Luna?!'. "What monster have you created?" he asked with mock horror. He wasn't actually scared, he had seen Luna growing a small crush on Neville over the years though how the shy boy never noticed was beyond him when near everyone knew it. "If our children have children and make us grandparents this young its all your fault dear." He narrowed his eyes trying to look cross but failed as he cracked up in laughter. Merlin it felt so good to laugh so feely again.

Daphne was shaken from her stupor and laughed with Harry as she held him tight to her. She loved his laugh more than anything in the world if she was completely honest, even more than the thought of one day being the mother to their children. His laugh, when he laughed she corrected mentally, was usually forced and abrupt but moments like this when it was genuine she felt blessed. It was so clear, so light hearted and carefree that it carried its own sense of magic to the blonde witch. "Maybe but you love me and you'd spoil our grandchildren nonetheless" she teased burying her face in his neck with a content smile on her lips. Merlin, if only he could live in this moment forever wrapped up in Harrys arms as his laughter filled her ears and the joy in his eyes made the usually somber emerald orbs sparkle with life. "I love you Harry James Potter, you know I love you with every ounce of my being right?" she asked kissing and nipping gently at the skin within distance of her lips.

"And I love you with every fiber of my soul Daph. Always will no matter what I promise you now as I did when we first admitted it." Harry kissed the blonde witch softly. "Just as I will mean it when I make you my wife." He stole another light kiss and stroked her cheek wiping away a silent tear. "And just as I will when our children are born. You are the stars in my night sky Daph giving it life just as I am the sun that gives your world color." It was cheesy and stupid but this was how he always imagined it for them. Well not the whole scene with Luna calling them mummy and daddy, that was slightly weird even for Luna, but moments like this in public where they could just be them; him making her laugh smile and blush while she pretended to be mad about being broken of her ice queen mask when confronted by idiots.

"What did I ever do to deserve you Harry?" Daphne asked with a tiny smile curling up at the corner of her lips. He was far too sweet but that was what she loved about him the most. Harry wasn't afraid to let his love for her show. Hell he threatened a Blood Feud over one of his now former, she assumed former at this point since the yongest male Weasley avoided Harry like the plague these days, friends over the mistreatment being slung at her. How many girls could say their man would do that for them? Aside from herself she couldn't think of any.

"Something so very simple. Something so minute I think to this day I think you overlooked it til we had our first date" Harry said with a soft grin rubbing his nose against hers. "You took a chance on a scared lonely boy. You became his first friend in this world. Taught him so much of how to deal with his position in this new world with no expectation of reward or compensation." His eyes closed for a moment before gold eyes opened back up with slightly pronounced canines peeking out from just under his top lip. "Most importantly, our mates accepted us with open arms and wings unafraid of taking a chance on us" he said though the last part was quiet, his voice taking on a rough duality as a soft rumbling purr vibrated in his chest.

Daphne smiled sweetly and held Harry tightly to her form for a moment that he swore she could challenge Hermoine for the intensity of bear hugs. "You charming cat" she said with a soft laugh as she nuzzled his cheek contently.

"As heart warming as this Mr. Potter, Ms. Greengrass I must remind you that breakfast is nearly over." Minerva chuckled internally as the two young adults blushed and stumbled, Daphne stumbled in her haste really to take a proper seat, over themselves blushing like mad. To see such love, pure gentle and true, filled her with hope for the future. These two single handedly began a long process but after this year they would leave behind a legacy at this school. 'The man-who-conquered and the former slytherin ice queen, the duo responsible for relieving the twisted stigma of slytherin house. The pair who showed inter-house love and friendship was possible even for the most intense of rivalries' she thought striding around the hall, Gregor the Sorting Hat adding his own amused two cents from his perch on the headmistresses head.

'Their children shall be most curious to sort. I can already see it now' Gregor thought. The chuckle from the elder scottish witch made him laugh. 'Justitia est commodatum. It is nice to see the one student who could have been king of any of the houses finally got his queen. Don't you agree Minerva?'

"Justice indeed Gregor" Minerva said seeing the pair leave the Great Hall holding hands looking at the other happy.
