Well if she does she doesn't publish them.

Chapter 25

My Valentine: Part 2

"Leave it unbuttoned!" Sirius said, pulling his hand away.

"I don't like it like that." Harry protested, trying to add buttons to his white open collared shirt.

"Leave it unbuttoned!"

"But, I don't want it that way!" they wrestled over his wand for 5 minutes before Remus cut in.

"Sirius you are straddling your Godson, get off of him." He said rolling his eyes before smiling at Harry as he stood. "Definitely leave it undone."

"But." Harry whined.

"Look we have all, well excluding Pete, individually had more dates than you, and we have lived in this time our whole lives. Sirius has had more dates than anyone in the school and that includes Gideon and Fabian combined. It looks good. She is going to like it. Just listen to us and leave it alone." Remus said with a huff as he pushed Harry's hands from his collar.

Sighing in defeat he tucked the tails of his shirt into the pants.

"They are too tight to tuck it in, did you shrink them or something?" he mumbled as he struggled with the dark wash bell bottoms.

Sirius chuckled at his plight. "No, but I think you may be experiencing that growth spurt Jamie told you about." He pointed his wand at the hems of his pants to make them longer.

"Are you going to make them looser?" Harry asked, eyebrows raised.

"Nope. They look fine, you had them too loose anyways." Sirius laughed.

Grumbling he finally managed to get tucked and buttoned, well half-buttoned in his opinion, but buttoned. Remus handed him the gift bag and the candy that he stored in the expansion pocket of his coat.

"Put the coat on." Sirius said as he started to walk out the door.

"Don't put the coat on." Remus argued.

"Just put the bloody thing on."

"I'm telling you, you don't need it, don't put it on."

Harry settled by throwing it over his arm and rolling his eyes.

"Well why even take it if you aren't going to wear it?" Sirius huffed.

"His cloak is in the pocket you twat." Remus growled.

"Oh, yeah, right." Sirius said, remembering.

When the three boys finally made it into the common room Sirius was immediately stripped from the by a raven haired seventh year by the name of Kirstie, Remus was waived over by a tall brunette, though Harry couldn't remember her name. He was planning on sitting, thinking that Brooke wouldn't be ready yet until he saw her trademark strawberry blonde hair, hanging in loose waves down her back. He quickly pulled the orchid from the bag in his pocket, improvising a bit and walked up behind her, using the noise level in the common room for cover.

He silently leant down and kissed her cheek, placing the flower in front of her as he did.

"Are you ready to come with me?" he asked her with a smile.

"Harry Potter, that could be taken in so many ways." Fabian said from his seat beside her, smiling maliciously.

Harry blushed and whacked his friend in the back of the head. "I think she knew what I meant."

She giggled and took his hand, "Are you going to tell me where we are going?" she asked.

Harry shook his head, "Nope, hadn't planned on it." He said with a sly smile. She turned to her cousins, Frank and Alice who all shrugged. "You can try Jamie, Siri and Remus too, they don't know either."

"Well then lead the way I guess." She replied as he pulled her from the common room.

They walked the halls freely as curfew would not be up for several hours. Harry held her hand, lacing his fingers in hers. He took her to the seventh floor and made her close her eyes before kissing her lightly and moving her so her back was to a stone wall.

"Don't move." He said, keeping her eyes closed she stayed still, even when his hands left her.

"Come on." He said pulling her forward a few seconds later.

Her eyes widened as she entered the room stepping tentatively on the springy mossy floor.

"Uhm, when did we go outside?" she asked looking around at the dusky forest clearing they were standing in, complete with trees, grass, flowers, vines and a fire burning in the sunken middle.

"We aren't outside. We are in a replica of one of my professor's classrooms from last year." He said with a smile as she turned and looked around her.

"Your professor taught in a forest?" She asked him, touching a very real tree.

Harry chuckled, "No, he taught in an enchanted classroom, he was a centaur. I thought it was an incredibly cool bit of magic then, still do in fact."

"You had a centaur for a professor?" she said in disbelief.

He nodded and laughed at her expression. "I also had a half giant and a werewolf. They are the best professors I ever had." He said fondly.

"How? How did you do this?" she stammered still staring around her.

"It's magic." He said playfully before pulling her back into his arms.

"Apparently. I have heard it can do amazing things."

"It can." He replied with a cocky grin, making her laugh. "I have something for you."

She giggled at the excitement on his face. "You aren't going to wait until later?" she asked, as they had just gotten into the room.

He shook his head, "Absolutely not, I am not patient enough for that." He said making her laugh.

"Aye, you do lack patience." She agreed as he stuck out his tongue before handing her the gift bag.

"You really didn't have to get me a gift at all, the flower was enough. It is beautiful" she said looking at the Orchid she had laid on a stump.

"Actually, I am pretty sure that it is a boyfriend's requirement to get his girlfriend a Valentine's gift. I mean I can't be certain, I've never actually had an actual girlfriend before. I mean I've kind of dated a girl but it wasn't official, and I never actually said she was my girlfriend…I-I- I really don't know why I am telling you any of this…Just open the present." He said, shaking his head as she giggled at him.

He watched her eyes light up as she pulled the long black velvet box from the wrappings and opened it to reveal the emerald bracelet. "Harry this is way too much." She whispered, looking up at him.

"Well I have been told, a million times recently, that as a Potter it is my job to make an impression and to understand that nothing is too much. So no, it isn't, and I thought the emeralds would look good with your hair." He said with a shrug as he clasped it over her wrist.

"You know they match your eyes too." She murmured into his ear.

"I have heard that somewhere before too." He said with a crooked grin as she pressed her lips against his.

"It is beautiful, I will never take it off."

"Good, I'm glad you like it. Remus told me to get sapphires but I wasn't too fond of them." He said with a shrug.

She laughed, "The boys helped you pick it out?"

"Of course, I told you, I'm a first timer here, give me a break."

"You know this begs the question." She said as she pulled him over to sit under a large tree.

"What question?" he asked naïvely.

"If this is your first time at all of this. What else, have you not done."

His face drained of color and he stammered. "Uhm- I- I-I have never been to Egypt, or watched a regular season quidditch game live."

She laughed at his answer "You know that is not what I meant Harry."

She could feel his nerves rolling off of him. "Why?"

"Well, we have been dating for right at a month. We were talking and flirting before then. And you have never done more than kiss me, so I was just wondering. Besides, I am used to your brother and Sirius' speed, and you are certainly not as fast as them." She said with a smile, as he avoided her gaze by playing with her hand.

"I am not my brother. Or Sirius for that matter." He said quietly.

"No you certainly aren't, thank Merlin for that." She replied, turning his face to look at her.

"Look, if we are going to date we have to know things about each other Harry. These kinds of things, it is how you set limits."

"Er, limits?" he replied dumbly.

"As in how far we are willing to go, not to go. Well how far have James and Lily gone? I am sure they have a set limit." She said with a shrug.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know." He said, trying to shake the images out of his head as she continued to laugh at him.

"Fine, I will start. I have never gone all the way. Ever. I have only come close twice and they were with the same guy, who I dated for 9 months." She said, her face heating up.

Harry looked at her incredulously. "You haven't?" he said, cocking his head sideways.

"No, have you?"

"I told you, you're my first girlfriend." He spluttered.

She rolled her eyes "Sirius Black has never had a girlfriend and he hasn't been a virgin since he was 15."

"I told you that too, I'm not Sirius." He shrugged. "I haven't, but I haven't even, well I mean to say. What I have done with you, that's all I've done. Kissing is the extent of it and other than you I have only kissed one other girl…And only once."

"But you know veela." She argued. "Surely I have more competition than that."

He laughed. "You have virtually no competition. At all. I was serious, I am completely new at this. I am not Jamie or Sirius or even Remus. Certainly not Gideon and Fabian. I had a crush on the same girl from third year until fifth year when we kind of not really dated but went on one horrible date, which was Valentine's. I'm telling you I am horrible at this."

She scooted closer to him letting her legs fold to the side since she was wearing a skirt. "I think you are very good at this." She said, then leaned forward to kiss him it was different from their other kisses. Possibly because of what they had just talked about, maybe because they were completely alone. Or even because they were in the middle of a forest clearing at fireside as dusk fell and the stars were starting to shine. Whatever it was, there was a heat between them that hadn't been present before.

Suddenly Harry found himself pressed against the tree with both of her hands against his chest, gripping his white shirt. Not knowing quite where to put his hands he placed them on her waist, letting his fingers rest on her back. As their kisses intensified he pulled her against him, eliciting a whimper from her lips that rendered him senseless. With that one sound there were no more thoughts, no more what if's, no more nerves.

His hands slid down her sides to her hips and he pulled her up into his lap, she smiled against his lips and placed a knee on either side of him. His hands fell to her legs, feeling the material of the tights she wore and the hemline of the skirt that was riding impossibly high.

"You are wearing a skirt." He said breathlessly as she kissed his jaw.

"You only just noticed?" she giggled as she returned to his mouth.

"Not what I meant." He said to her lips as he continued kissing her as she giggled softly and pulled away.

"I know what you meant." She said, allowing her weight to settle on his lap, still straddling him.

"You don't play fair." He pouted.

"I don't remember ever saying I did."

He laughed and kissed her lightly, still running his hands up and down her thighs.

"I like the skirt." He said with a wicked grin.

"I am glad." She replied, wiggling a little bit so she was farther into his lap, her chest nearly touching him.

He looked down and watched the fabric slide farther up the outside of her leg, biting his lip.

"I REALLY like your skirt." He amended as she giggled.

"I brought something for you." He said, summoning his jacket to him.

"Something else?" she said, eyebrows raised.

He nodded and smiled, "Well this is for both of us. I thought it would come in handy." He said as he pulled the bag of sweets from the internal pocket and sat it beside him.

"We can try that later, for now I am happy right here." She said returning her attentions to his mouth.

He ran his fingers through her hair, letting his hands slide down her shoulders and caressing the outside curve of her breasts and waist, coming to a rest on her hips.

Harry was walking side by side with Regulus discussing their Charms essay when James and Sirius came up behind them, each slinging their arms over their shoulders, James beside Harry and Sirius between the two.

"So how was your Valentine's plans kiddos?" Sirius asked happily.

Regulus shrugged, grinning at his older brother, "I am sure I had less girls than you but it was good." He said.

"I don't think anyone had as many girls as Siri." James joked, high fiving Regulus behind Harry and Sirius' backs. "And how went yours little boy?" he directed towards Harry.

"It was, it was amazing. Really, really good. I-I- I can't tell you about it." He said blushing before grabbing Regulus by the cloak and dragging him away.

James and Sirius exchanged bewildered looks.

"I think our little one may have crossed some lines last night Prongsie." Sirius said with a grin.

"I don't know if I even want to know or not." James muttered.

"I will find out. So do I get details about last night?"

"It was… well to copy my son, amazing, really really good. Uhm…you don't think that's what happened with him too do you?"

Sirius shrugged. "You were 15. He is a year older than you were."

"That thought scares me."

Sirius chuckled, "Just the thought of you procreating is enough to scare most of us Prongs. Now, those details."

"Alright, well it wasn't precisely planned. But I had set up chocolate…." He began as they walked to transfiguration.

"I talked to the squirt." Sirius said as he threw his books on the sofa beside of Lily.

They both looked up. "Yeah?" James said, the obvious question on the air.

"He had a really good Valentine's" he replied as he sat on the floor.

"How good?" James asked.

"Oh it was good. But nowhere near as good as yours." He snickered before Lily hit him in the back of the head with a book, causing him to yelp.

"Thanks for that." James grumbled.

"Anytime mate. Anyways, it was all over the clothes stuff. Nothing to be stressed about."

"I don't know if I should be relieved or disappointed for him." James chuckled. "I am so confused." Earning him a whack from the same book that hit Sirius.

"How about you be the relieved parent. I don't think you should be disappointed, he is practically walking on air."

"He wasn't disappointed then?" James asked, dodging Lily's hit.

"Not at all. I don't even think that thought entered his moral little head. You have a little gentleman on your hands Lils." Sirius said with a smirk.

"I don't know how when he is related to you lot." She mumbled opening her book to study.
