She held the card close to her chest, behind the pile of books she had in her arms so it was unnoticeable, that it many have been, but it felt like a hole was being burned into her chest as if people could see it. Damn she was getting paranoid.
At that moment Ginny stepped in to the hall, a white rose tucked behind her ear and her hand disappearing out the door way. A windswept Harry was standing in the door way, his hair more messy than ever and glasses slightly wonky on his nose.
"Get outside! Quick! It is the strongest winds I think we've ever had here! You should see Harry's hair! It shouldn't be so fly away!" Ginny said as she pulled Hermione out the door. She slipped her books into her bag just as she burst through the door. The winds caught her off guard and her hair whipped round and around as it got caught in the breeze. She could see Ron and the twins laughing as they threw leaves at one another. It was just one of those days...
They spent the whole day together, Harry always replenishing the battered rose in Ginny's hair, a present for Valentine's Day. They both seemed so happy. They all split up after their dinner, Harry and Ginny walking out to the owlery, one of the clean corners mind, where they sat for a while, they didn't really know how long. Ginny sat on Harry's knee as he played with her hair, their simple talk comforting and relaxing. They were just together.
Ron had gone with his brothers after the food. He saw Hermione moving off to Ravenclaw, and he grabbed some food and smiled at her, whilst she mouthed back the words "Greedy Pig".
He laughed at her face, so innocent and mock scolding. So pretty. He wished he could just go up to her and sit next to her, talk for hours. All he really wanted. He turned around and walked off, not before patting the piece of paper in his back pocket, a folded up card, red envelope, and addressed to Hermione.
She sees him leave the room, his eyes drifting to her and she can't help but comment as he shoves more food inside of his mouth, already big enough. He runs off with his brothers, leaving her with Luna, who is so lucky really. Not being bothered by boys of emoticons like that. Still free. Oh how Hermione wished she could be like Luna. She sat next to her and cried, Luna's arm wrapped gently around her as she cried for the boy she could never really have.
