Happy useless holiday day

Brittany and Hermione walked into the Great Hall to find it...well... pink.
"Lockhart."
Brittany said under her breath.
"I think it looks nice."
Hermione said.
"Really. Honestly, Hermione, you're just trying to tell yourself that Lockhart isn't a complete idiot."
Hermione scowled at her.
"What?"
Brittany asked innocently as they sat down. She looked up at the head table.
"Lockhart looks like a unicorn barfed on him. A baby, specifically, adults only barf rainbows."
"Happy Valentine's day!"
Lockhart announced.
"And these decorations aren't the only surprise....meet my friendly card carrying cupids! They will be wandering about the school today hand delivering messages! And while you're at it, I'm sure professor Snape would gladly tell you about love potions! And Professor Flitwick knows an awful lot about Entrancing Charms!"
Brittany smiled at the look on Snape's face.
"Ooh, potions should be fun. How soon do you think I'll get detention?"
"Less than five minutes. Possibly two, if you have a plan."
Brittany turned around. Fred was behind her.
"Oh, I have a plan alright."
Brittany laughed.
"Just wait..."

Potions was one of their first classes. As soon as they sat down, Brittany raised her hand. Snape ignored her.
"Today you will be making an alternative cure for boils. Instructions"
Snape waved his wand.
"Are on the board."
He was still ignoring her.
"Should you fail to complete this task in the given time limit, it will be homework."
Brittany raised her hand higher.
"Along with an essay, one and a half rolls of parchment."
Brittany scowled. This wasn't working.
"You have half and hour. And Ms. Potter, if your question has anything to do with love potions I will personally give you detention for the rest of the month. Would you like to rephrase your question?"
Brittany put her hand down.
"Thank you. Now get to work!"
