This Love is Unbreakable (Artemis)

[Bella Walsh]

From Hogsmeade, hand in hand, she guided him back to the castle and back to that very spot where they had first met. The sun was setting behind the trees just beyond the lake. In that spot, a stone bench had been placed and decorated with red climbing roses that bloomed fully in the setting light. Admittedly, she was impressed with that addition. Leave it to a real romantic to help bring out the best of being told what was happening. She'd have to thank Aito later for that.

The smile on her lips was unavoidable as they neared the location and surrounding the bench was thousands of silver candles in various heights and thickness. They were placed in a random gathering but she was sure that there was some method to the arrangement. She looked over at Artemis and smiled up at him. "Do you remember the significance of this spot, love?"

She invited him to sit on the bench and pulled out her wand, uttering an igniting spell to make the candles spark to life. The warm glow of the light on the grass was something comforting and it made her smile softly. "Darling, you know that I love you more than anything. And I've been slowly searching for the right words to get the right words to really get the way that I'm feeling. 'Forever' doesn't even come close. It took a lot of digging, but I think I finally figured out how to say it."

She flicked her wand again and the little flames on the candles began to flicker and lower, then began to raise and fall in a slow, rhythm before the clear notes were heard among the flame flickers. She bit her lip a little, trying to fight back all the nervousness that suddenly bubbled up as her fingers tucked stray locks of dark hair back behind her ear. It was a few moments with the candles' music before she took a deep breath and started to sing. Aside from the vague nervous tremor, she managed to coax some power out of her pipes and her voice managed to come across as clear after a short while.

Carefully, she eased into his lap and smiled softly through the words of the song, softly tucking his hair behind his ears before running her fingertips softly through those locks. She always touched him very tenderly, but this time, there was something beyond that normal tenderness. Her fingertips could have the equivalent of a brush of a stroke of a dove's wings. In the longer pauses of the song, she placed soft kisses to his lips and smiled softly to him until each and every word was delivered to him and she kept his gaze through the whole song, gazing softly into his eyes.

Love? Yes. This was love.

He allowed Bella to lead him from the village, her smaller hand clasped comfortably within his larger hand as she tugged him along. It was a small moment's walk before they arrived at their place of interest, the lake where the two of them had first met all those months ago, his eyes widening with surprise when his eyes landed on just what it was that Bella had set up for him in that very special location. It was beautiful and completely stunning just what his beloved had planned for him and he honestly could not believe that she had done something so special for someone as ordinary as himself. Warm brown eyes were so lost in absorbing the beautiful sights within the special location that he almost missed answering the question that Bella had asked him, smiling warmly at her a moment later and simply smiling before answering her question with a soft, warm tone of voice. " Of course I remember the significance of this spot. This is the place where you saved me from those bullies. What kind of boyfriend would I be if I had forgotten something as important as that?" A terrible one, one that would not deserve the time of day from his wonderful Bella, that much was absolutely obvious.

It was after he had spoken that his Bella had gestured for him to sit down on the bench and he complied immediately, a look of curiosity filling those warm eyes as he did so. It was a moment later that the candles that had been spread around them came to life with a series of warm and beautiful flickering flames. It was then that Bella spoke again and again he listened to the words that she said before a soft smile crossed his lips and his eyes softened, giving the girl a gaze that was filled with the tender emotions of love and adoration that filled his heart. To think that the most amazing girl at Hogwarts felt so strongly about him gave him such a wonderful feeling that he could scarcely believe that he was living in reality. It was a short moment later that his beloved began to do something that had completely surprised him.

She began to sing for him.

Her voice was an absolutely beautiful and soft one, akin to the ones that he knew angels must sing to the heavens with. It was one that he knew would have put even the most alluring of Veela to shame and the fact that it was him that she was singing for was enough for him to give her the softest of smiles. When she climbed into his lap he moved toward her gentle touch, his eyes falling closed as he savored both the gentle touches and the beautiful sound of her sweet singing voice. Kissed were pressed to his face, causing him to chuckle softly before his eyes opened again and greeted her with another soft smile, keeping her gaze for the rest of the song and when the last beautiful note was sung, all was quiet for a moment before he spoke in a soft whisper." Thank you love, that was absolutely amazing."

The smile on his face made all of the previously felt nervousness worth it. He looked so happy, and that was honestly everything that she had ever wanted. Even just sitting there on his lap made her feel like a princess and as she felt the blush creeping up onto her cheeks, her cheek nestled softly onto his shoulder and she looked up at him as if she were gazing at the moon. Spellbound, happy, enamored...there were no words to really place how special he made her feel.

"I love you. I know that it wasn't much of a surprise, but, I'm content to share that only with you and our future child for the rest of my life." She smiled softly and tucked his hair behind his ear with a soft sigh of content. "You are the world to me." Those warm brown eyes of his, she could gaze into all night just to see the extent of the love within them. All that light in his heart seemed to shine through them.

How was he so beautiful? Not just outwardly, but inwardly. He seemed to be the embodiment of every loving word and gesture, at least when he was happy he was. It was rare to see him angered, but she knew to err on the side of caution when that happened. "Oh, my Seraph...there is one more thing I wanted to show you. Will you cast your patronus, love?" She smiled softly down at him and carefully moved to rest on his lap still, just facing outward as he did, gently leaning back against his chest.

In her private dueling lessons with Professor Satoshi, she'd noticed the change of her patronus and had exclaimed in shock at the creature that came from the end of her wand. The panther had changed drastically, and she'd had to ask the Professor about the meaning behind that. However, now...it was beginning to make sense. If his patronus was what she thought it might be, that was.

Not that much of a surprise?

Artemis frowned slightly at the words that Bella said to him, his hand moving to gently grasp the bottom of her chin and tilting it upward so that Bella was looking into his own for a moment, allowing the woman to see all of the love, affection, and adoration that he held for her within his heart before he allowed himself to speak to her, his opinion on what it was that she had just said to him." Bella what you just did for me was perhaps one of the sweetest, most thoughtful things that anyone has ever done for me in my lifetime and I know that doing that was not an easy thing for you to do, even if it was just meant for me." He smiled and pressed a chaste and gentle kiss to her lips for a short moment before pulling away from her with the same broad smile and rosy cheeks that he got every time that they shared a kiss. " If you keep that promise, than our future child and I will be the luckiest people in the world my love. Your voice is an absolutely beautiful gift that I will cherish until the day I die and I will make sure that our child does the same."

Not that he would have to try too hard to do that!

When Bella told him that he meant the world to her, he could feel his cheeks begin to stretch as his smile grew. The joyful light that was in those warm eyes of his seemed to make them infinitely brighter as he looked down at his treasured princess, holding her tenderly in the way that he knew she was meant to be held." Eísai o kósmos mou, ouranó mou, o lógos pou zo̱.*" He spoke softly to her in his native language, telling her just how much she meant to him before he allowed himself to speak in English once more. " Come what may, I will love you until my dying day. Always, faithfully and passionately. My heart has been made to love you and our child and that is the way that it will stay until the very end of time, my beautiful, sweet, and brilliant Bella." No one else could or ever would compare to her. She was his soulmate, he was absolutely sure of that.

When she asked him to summon his patronus, he looked down at her with the slightest bit of confusion and curiosity for a moment before he smiled down at her and nodded, pulling his wand out of his coat pocket and pointing it away from the two of them." Expecto Patronum!" With a slight wave of his wand and the uttered words, a silver whisp of light erupted from the tip of his wand, after a moment forming a small fawn that trotted amongst the earth for a moment before stopping a short distance away, seeming to stare at the two of them in curiosity.
