"Harry. Wake up and open your presents! It's Valentine's day!" Ron's sing-song voice interrupted Harry's dreams.
"Fine...just quiet down a bit. I'm sure Neville and Seamus are still asleep." Harry mumbled, heaving himself up to sit on the end of his bed. He gazed sleepily at the mound of presents before him. He grabbed a heart shaped box of chocolates, and read: "Would you like to spend the Hogsmeade trip with me? Send Hedwig with an answer. –Cho.'"
"Blimey! You've got yourself a date. Go on, send her a reply. I won't mind if you ditch me. I have a mind to visit Fred and George in their shop anyways." Harry grinned and quickly scrawled that he'd love to, and sent Hedwig off to find Cho. "Hey, look. Fred and George have given me a box of Chocolate Frogs. I thought they'd be sending some more Canary Creams. As if I'd fall for that again..." Ron laughed. He took a chocolate frog. As soon as he swallowed it, he turned into a giant frog. He gazed at Harry, and let out a pitiful croak. Harry snorted back his laughter, and read a card that had fallen out of the box.
"Always thought you looked like a toad. Come and visit us. –Gred and Forge. P.S. You'll be ickle Ronniekins again in a few minutes." Harry read. The toad hopped onto Ron's pile of chocolates, croaking defiantly. Harry looked towards his pile, and noticed Hermione and Hagrid had both sent him some candies. He'd have to thank them at the breakfast hall. He set aside his pile of treats, and, silently laughing, he waited for Ron to return to himself. With a loud crack, Ron sat on the bed, fully formed. "We'd better get down to the hall. I want to meet Cho, and I'm sure you want to get to George and Fred now..." Harry said. Ron just nodded, looking rather queasy.
Harry spotted Hermione in the Great Hall and gave her his thanks for the present, but quickly said good-bye to both her and Ron as he spotted Cho. "Hey..." he ventured. "Did you get my response?" "A few minutes ago. Let's go now before the crowds come." Cho suggested. Harry nodded, and took her hand. They headed for Hogsmeade together.
