After all, she didn’t want to ruin her image by planting her face on the floor at her arrival.
“Are you alright?” Harry asked softly, looking concerned.
“Yeah. Yeah. I am alright” Tonks nodded her head, looking slightly bashful. “Now that I think of it, I shouldn’t have worn heels” Tonks mumbled furiously while childishly glaring at her own feet.
“You look beautiful in them” Harry complimented, breaking Tonks out of her trance.
“Really?” Tonks asked, but moments later, her eyes grew wide and her jaw hung open as she realized where she really was. “Whoa! Are we really on top of the Eiffel Tower?” Tonks asked excitedly as she removed her arm from Harry’s and tried to rush toward the edge, but she ended up getting smacked on the face by an invisible barrier.
“Sorry, I didn’t want you to trip over” Harry apologized as she walked up to her. Tonks rubbed her head with a frown before glaring at Harry, but she didn’t try to retort. Knowing her own lack of balance, there was a huge chance that she could have tripped and toppled down to her doom before Harry could have done anything.
“Here, let me help you” Harry said as he extended his hand toward her.
With a faint blush on her face, Tonks accepted the hand and then Harry led her outside the invisible barrier, only to be hit by strong winds and noise. “Wow…” Tonks breathed out, looking impressed. She had never been outside Britain, and now she was at the top of the Eiffel Tower. One of the most romantic places in the world.
This was going to become one of her bragging rights, Tonks decided…
“There are so many people down there!” Tonks exclaimed loudly when she realized that she could barely hear herself due to the wind. “Can they see us up here?!” Tonks screamed as she turned toward Harry.
“Yes, right now, they can, but as soon as we return inside the barrier, they won’t be able to” Harry answered with his voice laced with Magic as he didn’t want to scream like Tonks. “This place isn’t open to the public, Mundane or Magical, but with Magic, anything is possible” Harry added with a smile.
“Mum is going to be so jealous!!” Tonks screamed at the tops of her lungs as she threw her hands in the air, but she immediately regretted her choice as she stumbled, but once again Harry managed to catch her before she could embarrass herself. “Whoops. My bad” Tonks mumbled, looking embarrassed.
“I thought you would like something private, but still something special” Harry said as he gestured toward the pair of chairs and a table sitting in the middle of the floor. The table was neatly decorated with flowers and candles along with some decorated cutlery. “So, what do you think?” Harry asked, already knowing the answer.
However, instead of answering, Tonks simply smacked her lips on Harry’s… Harry happily returned the kiss and the two of them finally separated from each other after a whole minute. “That was wow!” Tonks breathed out, looking flushed.
“Yeah. That was, but maybe we should hold back for the time being” Harry explained as he didn’t want to get too raunchy before the dinner and they had decided to take everything slowly.
“Yeah” Tonks nodded her head in agreement. While she wouldn’t mind getting naughty, she wanted Harry to grow up a bit more before finally doing the deed. “The wind is ruining my hair, let’s go back” Tonks said, trying to change the mood.
“Yes, of course” Harry agreed and led her back inside the barrier.
“What does this thing do?” Tonks asked while glancing toward where the invisible barrier was supposed to be.
“Nothing much, but it does stop the cold and the wind from getting inside. It stops anyone Mundane or Magical from seeing us, and it also prevents the noise from bothering us” Harry answered with a smile as he continued to lead her toward the table. He pulled back a chair for Tonks. “After you” Harry offered.
Tonks beamed at the gesture even though she was screaming like a schoolgirl in the confines of her mind. ‘This is so freaking romantic!!’ Tonks squealed internally as she took the seat. Up to this point, the date had been amazing and she only hoped that they could end the date on a high note. “Thanks” Tonks mumbled a thanks.
“My pleasure” Harry said as he went to take his own seat. “So, do you want to chat or order something?” Harry asked. He knew that he didn’t get to spend much time with Tonks as he was busy with other stuff most of the day, so he thought that Tonks might want to simply chat with him.
“What can we order?” Tonks asked, looking excited. While she loved to eat junk food, she had never eaten high-class food and considering the theme Harry was going for, she was certain that she was going to get a high-class treatment. Instead of answering, Harry simply grabbed the thick-looking book from the side and handed it over to her.
“You could order a Starter” Harry said as Tonks opened the book, only to find a luxurious menu card with life-like images of dishes floating around. The food looked mouth-watering just from the pictures, so Tonks had to force herself not to drool. Tonks found the Starters menu, only to reach a startling conclusion.
Everything was in French, which meant everything written on the menu was beyond her comprehension… Tonks started to panic, but she managed to regain her bearings pretty quickly. ‘Get a grip, Tonks. It is not the end of the world. There are freaking pictures floating around!’ Tonks chided herself inside her mind.
‘Simply order the most delicious-looking thing in there and Bob’s your uncle’ Tonks decided inside her mind, feeling extremely proud of herself…
