"I can't do this" Draco mumbled to himself, he clutched on his bag and shook his head, his right foot tapping repeatedly on the ground, he was standing in the middle of the Great Hall alone, his back against the wall. They have just finished eating dinner, and guess what day it was, stupid Valentine's Day. And everyone was there, guys, girls, handing out chocolates to their crushes, Draco didn't want to admit it, but he kind of made a box too, for someone he liked, for a while now, but it was after dinner now, and he still hasn't done it.

"Hey" Pansy tapped on his shoulder and Draco whipped around to see her "Why are you sweating so much? Have you given him your chocolates?"

"No" Draco squealed quietly "I can't, I just can't, Pansy. I can't" Unfortunately, his crush was the saviour of the Wizarding World, and it has made all of this harder than it should be. Ever since he woke up, Potter has been receiving thousands of love letters, chocolates, sweets and one even tried to give Potter her hair. Draco should have seen it coming, Potter was far too famous, he wouldn't even care about Draco's chocolates.

"All I hear is you being a coward" Pansy rolled her eyes and gripped on his shoulders tightly "You can do it, I did it, Theo did it, Blaise did it. And you made the chocolates yourself, that makes it extra special" That was true, the blond had called his mother last week to ask her how to make chocolates, he wanted it to be done by his own hands, so he had sneaked out of his dorm almost every night since then to try making chocolate in the Hogwarts's kitchen. Some of the elves even helped him, but last night, he was able to make the perfect batch of chocolates. He had sneaked back up and wrapped it in a box and kept it in his trunk until this morning. He intended to give it to Potter before first period, but the moment Potter stepped out of the dorm, his "fans" have already stood there waiting for him, Draco didn't get the chance.

"Wait, really? You all did it?"

"Well, yeah" Pansy shrugged and gave him a big smile, showing her white teeth, she was happy, he could tell "She agreed, Granger agreed to go on a date with me"

"Oh, I'm so glad" Draco smiled at her "And what about Blaise and Theo?"

"Well, I saw Theo and Neville holding hands earlier, so that's good. And, guess what, turned out Blaise and Weasley, you know, Ron Weasley, have been in a secret relationship for months now" She said with her eyes wide open, and she added as soon as she saw Draco's shocked reaction "I know! Unbelievable, I should have seen it coming, with the way he's always staying back at his dorm, I mean, I'd understand it because I always...stay back at the dorm to have some quality time with Granger, who knows he was able to get in Weasley's trousers before I could get under—..."

"Don't finish that" Draco chuckled "I—Potter and I, we're not like you guys, we don't have an easy history. Even though, sure, Potter and I have been on good terms lately, but I'm not sure if he likes me, what if I just embarrassed myself, then I'd have to change my dorm because I cannot stay in the same place with him every single day?"

"Why are you panicking? It's perfectly fine, go big or go home"
