Reality Bites Harry Potter

Valentine's Disaster

Valentine's Day is slowly coming up. It's like three days from now. Shay has been pretty much avoiding Fred because of what happened last month. You would think the two of them would be over it since they're still friends, but it just seems to be getting worse. Shay told me that Alex suggested she write Fred a poem for Valentine's Day. I would agree with her had Shay decided to give it to him in person. But she's decided to use the cupids that go around handing out Valentine's for the students. I remember what was written in the second book about those. But I don't want to ruin her mood by reminding her. She's been acting like her normal self recently, so I hope this goes well for her. "What are you doing for Valentine's Day?" Pansy asked me grinning. I knew she would bring this up. We're in the Slytherin commons room and I was currently working on some homework.

"Nothing." I answered her warily.

"What? There isn't someone you want to give a Valentine to?" She pressed on.

"No. Why are you asking me this stuff? Shouldn't you focus on giving Lee a Valentine?" I asked her. She blushed.

"I am going to give him one. But why aren't you going to give Theo one?" She asked frowning.

"Oh, that. Well, Theo said he didn't want to do the whole Valentine's thing. He said he thought it was stupid." I said shrugging. "Honestly, unless he's going to give me chocolate, I think it's stupid too."

"You'll accept chocolate?" She asked smirking.

"No, that's-" But it was too late. She was already gone. I sighed. I'm sorry Theo, I tried. I really do want to give him a Valentine's gift, but I don't want to do it if he doesn't want one. Hm... maybe I should make him chocolate instead? I could go to the kitchens and ask Rosie or Posie for help. I smiled to myself.

"What's up with that smile?" Blaise asked me as he entered the commons room.

"It's nothing." I said shaking my head. "Are you going to give Susan a Valentine's gift?"

"Yeah. I should probably do that, huh?" He said frowning.

"Duh,"  I said rolling my eyes. "So what are you going to get her?"

"Hm... should I get her some chocolates?" He muttered to himself before walking off. I shrugged. I finished up my homework and went to the kitchens. I tickled the pear and when I walked in I was surprised to see Fred in here.

"Hey Fred." I said smiling.

"Hey, what are you doing?" He asked curiously.

"You first." I said grinning. I really didn't want to tell him what I was doing. It was totally embarrassing to me.

"I was just in here to get a snack." He said shrugging. "I'm meeting back up with George and Lee. We're going to prank Snape." He ended up grinning at the end of his sentence.

"That sounds like fun." I said sighing.

"So? What are you doing?" He asked again.

"I'm going to attempt to make Theo some chocolates for Valentine's." I said shrugging. I hope my face doesn't catch on fire with how much I'm blushing right now.

"Wow," Fred said looking amazed. "I didn't know you liked to make chocolates."

"I've never made chocolates in my life. That's why I said was going to attempt to make some." I said sighing.

"If you want, I can taste test them." He said grinning.

"Don't you have a prank to do with George and Lee?" I asked frowning.

"Yeah, but they wouldn't mind." He said shrugging.

"Okay, thanks for the help." I said smiling at him. He winked at me.
