Conall Wolf

37) Valentines day

In all the time that Conall was helping Dean, he also needed to work on himself. Everyday he was practising only two things. He non-verbal spell and performing magic without a wand. Conall can finally perform the non-verbal spell perfectly. Roselyn keeps coming with harder spells and with a few tries Conall can already do them. With the performing magic without a wand it goes a bit more difficult. Nothing has happened yet and it frustrates Conall a lot.

Roselyn is clapping loudly when Conall flips Faolán without a word. Faolán stands back up from the pile of cushions. He rubs his back but walks to Conall with a big smile.

"You did it brother! Good job!" Faolán says happy. He claps Conall on the shoulder.

"Yeah yeah, can I go now?" Conall asks impatient. It was Valentines day today, and he had an appointment with Katsumi at 10. It was almost 10 and Conall didn't want to come to late on his date.

"Yes you can, you did a really great job Conall, you are a great wizard." Roselyn says encouraging. Conall nods to her and than runs out. Luckily he wasn't to far from the Entrance Hall, and when he arrives there he sees to his relief that Katsumi isn't there yet. He fixes his hair a bit and places his wand away, which he still held in his hand. He leans against the wall, looking outside. He sees more couples than usual, and most of them are walking towards Hogsmeade. It was Hogsmeade weekend for the Hogwarts students, which was a perfect opportunity to go there.

Conall feels someone wrapping his arms around him and he turns around. He sees Katsumi and he smiles bright.

"Hello KitKat." Conall says and he tickles Katsumi in his stomach.

"Hahaha- S-stop." Katsumi laughs and Conall stops tickling. He carefully takes Katsumi his hand and then he starts walking towards Hogsmeade. It was still a bit new for Conall. They are doing better and better, and they are also doing some more things, like holding hands in public. They did it in the beginning because of the excitement, but they stopped doing it because he felt like it was going to fast. Of course they were hugging each other a lot, but that was because they already did that before they had something.

Right now they are slowly doing more and more things. Some times they are holding hands in public and it can't take long before their first kiss together. They are walking together to Hogsmeade where they come along a lot of couples walking close together. Usually it is Conall who takes the lead, but this time it is Katsumi his time. He felt that he needed to do something, and this is his area so he is choosing where they are going.

Conall notices that Katsumi is walking past the Three Broomsticks, and following all the couples. Conall frowns for a bit. It sounds logical that they would go to the Three Broomsticks, but apparently that is not the place for couples to have their date. Instead they are walking towards Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop.

They enter the shop and Conall could see that Madam Puddifoot decorated her whole shop in Valentine's theme. There are golden cherubs hovering in the air and everywhere were couples together. Katsumi walks towards a table that is reserved for him and they sit down.

"I thought that I better reserve, as you see this is a populair place for couples to got to." Katsumi says, and he shoves his chair a bit closer to Conall. At that moment one of the golden cherubs flies over their heads and leaves a trial of pink confetti. Conall chuckles at the side. They order some tea and a sugar bowl and they start to talk a bit.

"Nina always wanted to go here when there was a Hogsmeade meeting. I always refused because I had the feeling that it was only for couples, now I understand why..." Katsumi says while he looks around at all the couples holding hands. Conall chuckles.

"You figured out why this place was only for couples, or you figured out why Nina always wanted to go with you to this place?" Conall says.

"Both..." Katsumi says a bit absent minded. Nina is still a sensitive subject for him.
