Destined| The Chamber of Secrets : Book 2

Valentine's

Kiana

"What's going on," Harry asked as he sat besides me for breakfast.

   I pointed to the teachers' table too disgusted to speak. Lockhart was wearing lurid pink robes to match the decorations.

"Happy Valentine's Day!" Lockhart shouted. "And may I thank the forty-six people who have so far sent me cards! Yes, I have taken the liberty of arranging this little surprise for you all — and it doesn't end here!"

   Lockhart clapped his hands and through the doors to the entrance hall marched a dozen surly-looking dwarfs. The dwarfs were all wearing golden wings and carrying harps.

"You've got to be kidding me," I groaned.

"What's wrong," Harry asked.

"Kay just doesn't want to get mountains of cards, flowers and chocolates again," Fred said clapping a hand on my shoulder.

"Seriously," Harry snickered.

   I rolled my eyes.

"I hate Valentine's Day. It's full of love, none sense love. I mean why is it even a holiday," I hissed.

"My friendly, card-carrying cupids!" Lockhart beamed. "They will be roving around the school today delivering your valentines! And the fun doesn't stop here! I'm sure my colleagues will want to enter into the spirit of the occasion! Why not ask Professor Snape to show you how to whip up a Love Potion! And while you're at it, Professor Flitwick knows more about Entrancing Enchantments than any Wizard I've ever met, the sky old dog!"

   Professor Flitwick buried his face in his hands. Snape looked as if he'd give out poison instead of a love potion. I rolled my eyes and stood up.

"Well. Are you three coming?" I asked.

   The three nodded and stood up following me out of the Great Hall.

"Where's Hermione?" Jake asked.

"We're going to get her from Diggory," I hissed.

    The three remained silent as we walked out into the courtyard. Hermione and Diggory were sitting on a courtyard bench.

"Stay here. I'll get her," I instructed the boys.

   I walked out onto the grass and approached the two.

"Hermione. Classes start soon," I said. "You coming?"

   Hermione nodded and placed a kiss on Cedric's lips. They pulled away.

"Diggory," Cedric hissed.

"Ass wipe," I hissed.

   I walked in front of Hermione and we joined the boys.

"What's up with you and Cedric," Hermione asked.

"He didn't tell you, he disowned me as a sister." I spat.

   I advanced forward only to be stopped by 7 dwarfs.

"Kiana Diggory," they asked.

   I hesitantly nodded.

"I have flowers for you," the first dwarf said pulling out a dozen red roses.

   I grabbed the roses angrily and shoved them in my sack.

"I have chocolate," the second dwarf said hesitantly.

   I grabbed the chocolate and shoved it into my bag.

"I have a letter from Marcus Flint," the third dwarf said.

   My eyes widened.

"That's revolting," I hissed.
