21 July - Happy Oops! & Hi day 💙💚
Today marks the day where Harry has known Louis for half of his entire life 🥹
From this timeline post here.
21 July 2010 💙💚 They finally meet and talk to each other, in the X-Factor bathrooms. Louis takes the chance and gets Harry's first autograph and talks to him: “Even though I didn’t speak to them much I remembered Harry [...] well, because I saw them and thought, ‘You are definitely getting through.’ I had a photo taken with Harry because I knew he was going to be famous. I even gave him a hug and told him not to worry because I knew he’d be fine.” (Louis, Dare To Dream).

The same day, 21 July 2010, this picture gets taken of them as a group (the name below was put there later)
When they took the picture, they hadn't been put into a band, yet. So this is their first real picture together at X-Factor. (Either their potential name had already been chosen that day or the tape that was later put on. That picture wasn't released until later on.)
