102| Girls Date

Y/N POV

It had almost been a week since the promise in our room. People had started decorating the great hall in Valentine's vibe. Girls started going in and out of the kitchen to experiment with chocolate making. The aroma from those hundreds of chocolates being melted at the same time permeated the air for every second of the day. Maybe I was the only girl who didn't have the excitement for Valentine's day.

I hate Valentine.

Ever since last year's incident where Draco dumped me, all thanks to Umbitch, Valentine had become a cursed day for me and I would rather stay in my room all day than watching too many couples snogging in every corner of the castle. It was crazy to think that only 2 years ago, I was as eager as anyone else, waiting for the love day to come because I knew I had someone to spend the lovely time with; it was Draco.

My first Valentine with Draco as a couple was wonderful and I got to taste a bitter Valentine right the year after.

My relationship with Draco was surely in the best term right now, yet I still couldn't erase the dejected memories of having to cry my eyes out on the same day people were supposed to act all lovey-dovey with their partner a year ago.

By some fortune, I supposed I could spend the doomed day with Hermione to go on a best friends date instead. She would be alone since Ron was still a halfwit for dating Lavender Brown and my darling fiance, Draco, would 99% be busy with his workout plan. So Hermione and I were so going to take our stress away caused by the boys by hanging out together.

"Are you going on a date with Malfoy this year?" Hermione asked during our walk to the great hall for lunch.

"Are you referring to Valentine's date?" I asked for a confirmation and she nodded right away.

"Absolutely not, don't even mention Valentine in front of me, Hermione. You know how I feel about that day," I stated and she just giggled.

"Don't you think Malfoy will prepare something for you?"

"I hope not," I sighed. "What about you and Ron? He's still with the bitch?"

She nodded faintly; her expression showed disappointment. Could I just kill either one of those two disgusting love birds? My best friend was better in everything than that Lavender girl. Ron was so blind and now, I was starting to believe that perhaps Miss Brown used Amortentia to allure Ron into her arms.

"Say what, let's have a girls date tomorrow. Everything is on me and let's just do anything we want," I gushed.

"I doubt your boyfriend would allow that to happen, but sure, count me in," she said excitedly.

Hermione and I parted ways as we were going to sit at our house's table. Draco said he wasn't going to be able to make it to lunch so here I was, eating alone at the large table. Actually, I wasn't exactly alone, there were some other Slytherins too but I didn't socialise much with my housemates, hence I could pretty much say that I was alone. However, being alone didn't bother me much. I liked to be lonely sometimes, not having to talk to anyone and just enjoy my pasta by myself for the day sounded like a thing I would do every day.

Well, it was very enjoyable until someone decided to sit across from me.

"Hi," Astoria greeted.

Ugh, why was this kid casually saying hi to me now? I ignored her and continued with my delicious pasta.

"Are you and Draco still in a relationship?" She asked bluntly.

How brave of her. This girl was so bloody bothersome, asking a question that the answer was too obvious. I stayed quiet and quickly dug in because I needed to hold my snap. Only food could calm me down for now while Draco was away doing God-knew-what.
