The Key to a Riddle's Heart (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 14 - Valentine's Day

Today was Valentine's Day and Dorea had just woken me up. Since today was a holiday, we were able to visit Hogsmeade until well past dinner time. This was very exciting because Hogwarts had never let us do something like this before ever!

"What should I wear?" Dorea asked suddenly, causing Amanda to glare at her. Yes, Amanda was still angry with us for refusing to give up our friendship with Charlus. To this day, I still don't know what had happened, nor did I care.

I walked over to her dresser and rummaged through her things. Since it was going to be cold, I pulled out a pair of dark colored jeans. Dorea slipped them on and struggled with the zipper a little bit but finally got them on.

"Now for the top...." I trailed off while marching over to my own wardrobe and pulled open one of the drawers. I saw a red, cashmere sweater and threw it at her. She pulled it over her head and gasped at how warm it was.

"Thank you!" She squealed and threw her arms around me. I just laughed and tried shaking her off of me while I got my toiletries ready for my shower. When I was released from her grip, I hopped into the shower and completely washed my hair.

Once I finished my shower, I wrapped a towel around my body and waved my wand to get rid of the excess water. I magically dried my hair and made sure it was perfectly straight before I walked into the dorm room. Dorea was waiting for me, looking as if she wanted to tell me something, but her name was called from downstairs.

She left reluctantly and I heard a shriek of surprise from downstairs. I rushed out the door, still dressed in just a towel, and my eyes widened as I saw what happened.

There were dozens of flowers everywhere, white roses to be exact. I noticed Dorea's face turn pale when she saw me. She motioned for me to go back upstairs. I shrugged in confusion before going upstairs to change. My mind was occupied with what was happening downstairs.

I changed into a pair of light blue jeans and a white tank top. Seeing that it was cold out, I threw on a long grey cardigan that went past my butt. I pulled a pair of boots on my feet and brushed my teeth, did my makeup, and grabbing my wand before heading downstairs.

The roses were still there by the time I got back. Many Gryffindors were crowded in the common room, discussing where the flowers came from. When people noticed me, they couldn't stop staring.

I felt self-conscious as they stared at me as if I were running around naked. Charlus and Matt walked into the common room, not noticing the dozens of roses. It was when Matt tripped over some when he fell over and landed on the ground in a heap. I rushed over to him to help him up.

"What the hell?" He said in annoyance. Matt looked at me for an answer but I just shrugged. I helped him stand up and then he nudged Charlus. Charlus looked at him weird and I realized he was holding something behind his back.

"Charlus, no!" Dorea cried as she ran through the crowd of Gryffindors. His head snapped to her, I looked at her in confusion. What the hell is happening?

"Uh- You can't tell her about the flowers, I wanted to." She said, seeming unsure of herself.

"What's going on?" I asked the two of them.

Dorea shoved a card in my hand before Charlus could say a word. I looked down at the card and saw my name written in beautiful cursive.
