Chapter Eleven: Be Mine? I Already Am.

After Harry had finished comforting and reassuring Astoria he took her hand and walked her down to the Slytherin common room. Kissing her goodbye at the entrance, Astoria watching ascend back to the upper levels of the school, wishing that he could stay with her in the dungeons just once. Sighing sadly she turned, mumbled the password miserably and entered the common room. When she entered the room the first person her eyes sought was her sister.

Frowning she made her way over towards where he sister was sitting, dropping her bag on the way, she stood in front of Daphne, with her arms crossed over her chest. Looking up at her sister, Daphne smiled innocently. "Yes, dear sister?" she asked sweetly.

"Why did you say all that stuff earlier?" Astoria asked curious as to why her sister would make her worry unnecessarily. Her frown deepened when she saw Daphne's smile widen.

"Just trying to warn you about what will most likely happen. You need to know now so that when it happens you won't be hurt. I don't want you to be hurt." She told her softly. Astoria just shook her head at her sister.

"I told you Harry's not like that when you said all that rubbish. And I shouldn't have let you get to me like that. I nearly risked the most important thing in my life because of what you said to me. And I want to know why you said that? Tell me why you made me so nervous about me and Harry that I nearly ruined our relationship. Tell Me!" she shouted at her sister coming to the end of her patience with her sister. Daphne and the rest of the Slytherins that were in the common room, looked up and at Astoria when they heard her shout.

Daphne stood up slowly and stared down at her slightly shorter sister. "You are fifteen years old Astoria and Harry is eighteen. Do you honestly think that you're relationship is going to last long. I'm amazed that it lasted as long as it has. I would have thought he'd have his way then leave. And you need to realise that because that is all he wants. He's going to build a life with someone his own age. Not a little girl like you." She told her before turning to walk up to her dorm. Astoria's voice stopped her though.

"If what you've said is true, aren't you worried about Adrian?" she asked looking at the back of her sister's head. When Daphne stopped in her tracks she continued, "He is two years older than you, just like Harry's two years older than me. If you're theory is right then surely Adrian will toss you aside as soon as he gets what he wants as well? And you've been together for, what's it been now, five months? That's two less than me and Harry." She said, contemplatively as though she was just airing thoughts. "I'd be worried the next time he owls. But I'm sure you'll be fine Daphne." She told her sister walking up behind her stricken sister, who seemed unable to move at the moment.

Patting her on the shoulder she leaned in and whispered in her ear, "After all, you know best. Don't you?" she asked rhetorically, before picking up her bag and moving up to her own dorm, a slight smile on her face, secretly pleased that she had stood up for herself and defended hers and Harry's relationship in front of her entire house. And although she wouldn't like to admit, she felt slightly good about making her sister worry about her relationship, just as she'd done to her.

The next day it seemed as though the entire school knew about the argument between the two Greengrass girls, though both of them acted the same as they usually did. The only noticeable thing about the two of them that hinted that the two had fought was the fact that they didn't talk, or even acknowledge each other. This carried on and soon it was Valentine's Day and the two still hadn't spoken a word to each other. Harry and Draco had both tried to find out what had happened between the two sisters but both were being very tight lipped about the whole thing. Eventually the two boys had stopped trying and unanimously decided that they would let the sisters work things out themselves.

Due to the fact that Valentines Day landed in the middle of the week, the Headmistress had decided that there wouldn't be an event, disappointing the many girls that wanted a Valentines Ball. The majority of the older students however were very thankful there wasn't a ball. There was only one older student who was slightly unhappy at the prospect of having no ball.

Blaise had been trying for weeks to build up the courage to ask Luna out and was hoping that asking her to be his date for the ball would be the opportune moment to ask her. And now all his plans have been ruined, which worried the boy greatly.

Valentine's morning broke bright and early and Blaise was up as the sun rose, knowing that Luna was an early riser. He wanted to be able to talk to her without other's listening in or heaven forbid interrupting. Changing into his school robes and grabbing his satchel and Luna's present, Blaise quickly made is way out the common room and up to the upper levels of the castle.

He was walking down the corridor leading to the Ravenclaw Tower when out walked Luna, dressed and prepared for the day ahead, something hidden behind her back. As soon as the two saw each other, smiles broke out across there faces and they simultaneously sped up and met each other with a tight hug, causing there smiles to widen, if it were possible. Breaking apart reluctantly the two greeted each other, arms still wrapped around each other partially.

Smiling down at the girl in his arms Blaise reached into his satchel and pulled out a neatly wrapped blue and green present and held it out for Luna to take. Smiling shyly she also handed Blaise her own present for him. Both blushing slightly, they opened each other's gifts and each gasped when they saw what the other had got them.

Luna couldn't believe what Blaise had got her. She looked down at her hands, amazed that the older boy had been listening so intently to her when they talked about her passion for drawing. In her hands she held a personalised sketchbook, made of the finest leather, with one of her very own drawings engraved onto the front cover and her name engraved along the spine. On the back was a message from Blaise to her.

You make the longest day short,

The darkest day light,

You make time seem endless,

I could spend forever in you're company,

You're everything I could ever want,

I only have one thing to ask.

Will you please?

Be Mine.

Luna gently ran her fingers over the engraving, one of her tears falling from her face and landing on her new sketch book. She looked up and Blaise who was now watching her, his customised music notebook in his hand. He gently raised one of his hands to Luna's cheek and wiped her tears with his thumb before caressing her cheek. Luna smiled and closed her eyes at the contact. When she reopened her eyes, she found herself falling into Blaise's forest green eyes.

With his hand still on her cheek, Blaise whispered softly, "Will you be mine?" he asked looking straight into her eyes. Luna smiled before leaning up and pressing a soft gentle kiss to his lips. When she pulled back she saw that his eyes were still closed, as though he was savouring the moment.

"I'm already yours. I have been for a while," she told him and as soon as the words were past her lips, Blaise's eyes popped open causing Luna's smile to widen. "I always will be, for as long as you want me. I'll be yours" she told him and before she could say another word, Blaise had pulled her into his arms and proceeded to kiss her thoroughly in delirious happiness.

The two barely made it to breakfast before it was time for class.

Up in the Heads common room Hermione was waking up and blinking sleep out of her eyes. When her sense finally came back to her realised that something was amiss in her room. Looking around she saw that on every available surface there were vases and vases of stargazer lilies. It took her amount to remember that today was Valentines Day and when she did, she realised that Draco, sweet caring thoughtful Draco, had found a way to fill her room with her favourite flower.

Smiling she got out of bed and got ready for her day. Before she left her room however she grabbed one of the lilies and tucked it into her hair, so that she would always have part of Draco's surprise with her. Grabbing Draco's gift she practically skipped down the stair and when she saw Draco waiting for her in the common room, she flew into his arms and hugged him tightly as she said good morning with a kiss. They the two parted, both of them were smiling giddily.

"Happy Valentines Day Mia" Draco told her stroking her cheek his smile widening when he saw one of the lilies in her hair. "Like your head piece." He told her, nodding at the flower in her hair. Hermione smiled and reached up to touch the lily before leaning forward and kissing Draco again.

"Thank for the flowers. They're beautiful," she told him with a grin before she handed him the small parcel that she held. "This is for you," she told him as she gave her gift to him, "Happy Valentines Day." He kissed her forehead as he handed her, her own gift, wishing her a happy Valentines Day also.

The two of them ripped through the paper and both of them gasped quietly when it was revealed what the other had got each other. They looked up and each other in shock before looking back down at their gifts.

Draco couldn't believe what Hermione had got him. He stared shocked at the tie pin and cufflinks that were emblazed with his modified family crest. He knew that the crests he was looking down at now were the ones that he himself had modified, though he had no idea how Hermione had got the drawings of them. He wasn't complaining though because the results were absolutely amazing. He looked up from his gift when he heard Hermione's 'aww' at what was inside the box he's given her.

In Hermione's arms she held a small brown tabby kitten that was presently licking Hermione's face causing her to giggle at the antics of the tiny kitten. She knew that Draco knew that she had been very sad since Crookshanks passed away just after school started again after Christmas, but she didn't think that he would actually buy her a brand new, adorable kitten. With one arm still firmly holding her new kitten she reached her other hand around Draco's neck and pulled him down for a kiss. When the two pulled back she had a brilliant smile on her face as she looked up into the face of her boyfriend.

"Thank you so, so much Draco. I love it, it's so adorable" she told him before she started to stroke the small kitten's head again. Still looking down at the fluffy ball of fur she asked, "What's it called?" looking between the two.

"She's called Amor. But you can change her name if you don't like it." He told her, leaving out the fact that Amor was Latin for love. She of course knew what Amor meant, but neither of them were quite ready to talk about that yet. Draco cleared his throat nervously before looking back down at Hermione. "Thank you for the tie pin and cufflinks. How did you get the drawing of the crest's new design?" he asked curious as to how she got them.

"I saw them on the table and got the idea of getting them made into those" she told him nodding to the gifts in his hands. "I made a copy of them and sent them to a jeweller. You don't mind do you? I know I should have asked before using them, but I wanted to surprise you." She told him, nervous that he would feel that she intruded into his personal business.

Draco smiled and raised her head so that they were looking each other in the eye. "Of course I don't mind that you made a copy of my new crest. And I love my present, thank you so much Hermione." He told her before leaning down and kissing her. The two broke apart quicker than either would have liked however, as a small furry head butted there's causing them to break apart and laugh at the adorable little animal in Hermione's arms. Smiling she put down the little kitten in the bed that she found on the sofa, another part of Draco's gift and left Amor some food and toys to play with. When she was certain that Amor would be okay, Hermione and Draco grabbed each other's hand and made there way out the common room and down to the Great Hall.

The rest of Valentines Day passed by uneventfully, with no incidents occurring what so ever, which everyone was grateful for when the remember the nightmare that was Valentines Day Lockhart style. And no one wanted a repeat of that fiasco.

Well that was chapter 11. Hope you enjoyed it. Had no idea how to start this chapter, which is why it took so long to get up. I think I rewrote the beginning about five times before I was happy with this.

Anyway. Hope you enjoyed a trip this Valentines Day themed chapter. What did you think of the gifts? Which were you favourite? I was going to put Harry and Astoria's gift exchange in here as well, but I thought that there was enough Astoria in this chapter, what with the confrontation with Daphne in here. But let me know what you think, and if you want a Harry/Astoria gift exchange I'll write one up and post it as a separate story.

Till next time.
