Life often springs up the most unexpected scenarios and in your case it wasn't the good kind. You got kidnapped by someone who you thought was your friend and it was none other than Neville Longbottom. He was the last person you'd ever expect to kidnap you but he ended up doing that anyway because he claimed to love you to no ends. Initially you screamed and cried and begged him to let you go but he refused to comply and as time passed you eventually got used to life with him. He actually treated you really well and looked after you like a precious flower. He never raised his voice at you or his hand on you for that matter and always got you things you asked for. So why were you suddenly feeling this inexplicable pain and sadness? Because the festival of Sankranti was coming up and you remembered all the good times you've had with your family during the festival such as lighting the Bhogi bonfire and dancing around it, your mother preparing a variety of sweets and delicious mouth watering delicacies and your father and you having kite flying contests with each other to see who could cut the other's kite off first and making colorful designs your house with colored sand. You were lost in your train of thought when Neville enveloped you in a hug abruptly which startled you for a moment

"What's the matter darling, is something wrong?" as you faked a smile and replied that there wasn't anything wrong. His face was laced with concern for a moment and he told you that breakfast was ready and he made you your favorite food. You barely talked talked during breakfast which meant something was bothering you and Neville could sense it because come on, the guy knows about every single freaking thing you do. He knows you better than you know yourself which he takes great pride in

"I know you weren't telling me the truth when you said something wasn't bothering you darling. I'll try arranging it for you if it's in my capacity" and you heaved a breath as you told him about how it was Sankranti the next day and you told him about all the traditions you used to do with your family. He chuckled softly and held your hands in his and spoke "Sweetheart, there's no need to be shy about telling me about your customs. We'll celebrate it together if it will make you happy" as he kissed your hands and you resumed eating your breakfast. After the two of you were done having your breakfast, Neville said he needed to go out to get a couple of things and kissed your forehead as he told you to be safe and left. It wasn't like you could go anywhere anyways, the place was rigged with several advance enchantments and strong locks that you couldn't pick and windows you couldn't break. You decided to keep yourself busy with a book till he returned and when Neville eventually returned, he had a huge bag filled with various things

"What's in the bag?" you enquired curiously and as you peeped in, you were surprised to find all the things needed for the Sankranti festival such as Red dates or regi pallu as called in Telugu, sesame seeds, flowers, colored sand for making the Sankranti muggu or colored patterns on the ground, coconuts, lamps, incense sticks, betel nuts and leaves, red Vermillion or also known as kumkum, jaggery along with rice and a bunch of other things. Your eyes widened in surprise as you looked at Neville gratefully and hugged him. He felt immeasurable happiness that no word or number could measure when you hugged him. His heart skipped a beat as he wrapped his arms around you and basked in your warmth. It was soft moments like these he wished that would never end with you. You finally pulled away and Neville suggested decorating the house with flowers and you decided to help out. However when you were standing on a chair as you tried to hang the garland of marigold flowers on top of the door of the house, the chair started wobbling and you would have broken at least a few bones if it hadn't been for Neville to catch you in time. "Are you you right? You're not hurt are you?" he asked you and fanatically checked you for any injuries and then hugged you and spoke "You really had me worried there. I'm never letting you do something like this again" and true to his word, he didn't let you climb on another chair or ladder or anything for that matter. He hung the flowers and decorations by himself and after he was done, the two of you set the required things aside for the puja tomorrow

After you had dinner, Neville kissed your head and told you he had a special surprise for you early in the morning and you were curious to see what surprise he was talking about. You received your answer when he woke you up the next day at exactly 5:30 in the morning and you groggily rubbed your eyes and mumbled sleepily "What's going on?" Neville thought you looked adorable, like a sleepy puppy and he felt bad for disturbing and ruining your sleep but he knew you'd be happy to see what he's prepared for you outside in the backyard nonetheless. The two of you went to the backyard where you saw a bonfire lit, also called as the Bhogi mantalu and you looked at him in surprise. "Where did you find the wood from for this?" you asked him and he replied "I'll find anything for you to make you happy" he smiled and even though it was just the two of you there, you had a nice time by dancing around the bonfire and sitting there with him and watching the flames dance

The two of you went inside after the fire died out, to catch some extra sleep. Then you got ready in your traditional clothes as you wore a yellow colored saree with intricate patterns and Neville wore a matching yellow kurta to go with your dress. He was spell bound and speechless when he saw you ready, you had flowers in your hair, a red dot or the Vermillion adorning your forehead, your hands decorated with glimmering bracelets. He thought you looked ethereal, like a beautiful regal Indian goddess. The two of you prayed to the gods together and he just wished for one thing from the gods above, to always be with you. He wanted to have a beautiful married life with you with a grand Indian wedding and he wouldn't let anyone snatch his dreams away. He'd do anything and everything he can in his power to make sure that dream of his comes true

Then Neville and you cooked the traditional food for Sankranti such as Sesame laddus Puran Poli( and some pumpkin curry as well as a bunch of other traditional foods. Neville and you had fun by throwing the flour at each other and he chased you as he applied some to your cheeks and nose as he pinned you to the couch. Then he kissed you softly on the lips for a few moments and you felt like it was magical. You spent the rest of the day with reading books and spending time with Neville. Finally it was time to sleep and Neville cuddled with you as he kissed you good night and he couldn't wait for tomorrow. The next day was Sankranti and Neville prepared the traditional Pongal, but you weren't really fond of eating the pongal. In the end Neville had you sit on his lap and he fed you the Pongal and kissed your cheek when you were finally done with it. You then made the colored patterns with the colored sand on the ground which Neville took a picture of and kept gushing about how wonderful the muggu looked

Then the two of you went outside to fly kites and you had a little contest with him to see who'd cut off the other's kite first. You won and you danced around in joy as Neville watched on with a smile on his face, you looked really endearing. You both clicked some pictures as well, which will obviously be going in the album of pictures he's been making. In the evening Neville made some piping and steaming hot tea for the two of you and you both watched the evening sky, tinged with a shade of purple and pink as you sipped on your tea. You snuggled closer to Neville as he wrapped a protective arm around you and he wished this moment would never end. He loved you to the stars and back and he'd never let anyone else take you from him, else they'd have hell to pay and he'd make sure of that
