Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, no matter how much I wish. This belongs to J.K. Rowling, all bow down to her. J I do, however, own the OC and the plot.
A/N: I may be putting a little bit of RemusxMackenzi as well, actually. He's just so sweet…..and plot is always good lol!
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, February 14th 1976
Severus Snape stalks through the halls of Hogwarts, glowering at the stone floor. He hates Valentines, and always had. The day was a commercialized day for people to show each other their 'love'. As he walks through the halls he can see Mackenzi running up to him with a huge smile on her face. He braces himself as she flings herself at him, arms around his neck. Severus freezes as he sees everyone in the hallways staring at them incuriously. He understands, however. What would a beautiful girl like Mackenzi-Kenzi, he corrects himself-want with an outcast like himself? Mackenzi lets go of him and grabs onto his hand, pulling him through the halls at a walking pace, seemingly oblivious of the people staring in their direction and whispering behind their hands.
"K-Kenzi…they're going to think we're together…" Mackenzi shrugs her shoulders, looking cheerful.
"They can think what they want. I don't care, I want to spend the day with my buddy." The two of them walk for a bit in silence, when Mackenzi sighs. Severus, for the first time since they started walking, looks up from their entwined fingers and sees the Marauders walking their way. He tries to pull away, but Mackenzi pulls him towards her and lightly, but oh very swiftly, presses her lips to his and then whips around and jogs up to her group of friends. Severus places a shaking hand on his lips, face beating red and eyes wide as saucers. His hearts beats against his ribcage, threatening to burst right out of his chest. He turns as quickly as possible and runs away, back through the crowded halls of Hogwarts School.
As Mackenzi runs up to Sirius Black, James Potter, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew, Sirius forces his fists into his pocket and scowls at her.
"What are you smiling for, Kay? What'd you kiss that greasy snake for, huh?" James throws Sirius a warning glare, but Mackenzi's eyebrows shoot up.
"I'm sorry, Black, is that you being jealous? I really can't hear you over the whining." Sirius turns red in anger, and opens his mouth to say something, but James covers it.
"Yeah, Kenzi, it's because he's jealous. He just won't admit it, that's all." Mackenzi smiles in satisfaction while Sirius steams angrily. James then looks at Mackenzi, sighing.
"However, he does bring up an interesting question…why did you kiss Snivellus?" Mackenzi shrugs her shoulders and links her fingers with his, resting her head on his shoulder.
"I feel bad for him. He has it bad both here and at home…" Remus nods his head in agreement. James goes to say something but Peter starts to stutter, making Sirius kick him.
"Out with it, rodent." Peter points a little ways off, where they can see a tall, dark and handsome seventh year giving Lily a Valentines and a bouquet of red roses. James sputter and then stalks forwards, Peter and Sirius following closely behind. Mackenzi looks up towards Remus, and smiles impishly.
"Not joining the festivities?" Remus laughs and holds onto her hand a little tighter.
"Nah, I've had about enough of their idiocy today." Mackenzi laughs at him and leans up slightly, her lips pressing against his light as a feather. Remus freezes for a few moments, then closes his eyes and leans down a little to place more pressure into the kiss. Mackenzi smiles as she pulls away.
"Happy Valentines Day, Remus." Remus smiles back at her, and brings her hand up to his lips, kissing it softly.
"Happy Valentines Day, Kenzi." Mackenzi turns and starts to walk away, and up to her dormitory. Once she gets there, she sees Lily sitting amongst a bunch of candy wrappings and the bouquet of roses to her nose. Lily looks up and smiles happily, pointing towards Mackenzi's bed. Mackenzi flops onto her bed and picks up a lone daisy, her favourite flower. She smiles and smells it, knowing that it could only come from one of two people: Remus Lupin or Severus Snape. The question remains…
Which one was it?
