"That was hilarious!" Aly chortled to Robin. She laughed with her. Robin was the only decent Slytherin that she had met in Potions. She had blond hair and blue eyes. While talking, Aly learned that she wanted to be in Gryffindor, Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw. In Slytherin, you were expected to be scum.
"Do you actually have a blind grandpa?" Robin asked as they continued to the stairs.
"Nope. I don't know of any other relatives but my aunt, but she thinks I'm a child soldier," Aly answered plainly. Robin giggled. "He'd probably be dead." They stepped onto the changing staircases and waited until they landed onto the first floor corridor.
"That was an interesting story, though. Landed you an easy five points," Robin added.
"D'you think that Snape ever fancied someone?" Aly wondered aloud.
"Ha. No," Robin said snorting. Aly shrugged.
"Aly! Hey, Aly!" a voice said behind her. She turned around and saw Damien behind her.
"Hey Damien!" she said with a smile. He smiled back and nodded to Robin.
"Aw, come on Damien. You know I'm not a bad Slytherin," Robin said grinning at him.
"Nonetheless, you're a Slytherin," he countered back.
"So, what do you want, if you're done being mean," Aly said frowning at him. He sighed and looked around.
"These are for you," he muttered, giving her a small rose and a bag of chocolates. "Happy Valentine's," he said even quieter.
"Wow! Um...thanks!" Aly said, surprised. "Ooh, dark chocolate!"
"Don't think that I like you, or anything...I just...thought I should get you something," Damien said quickly.
"I understand," Aly said with a smile. He smiled back. He handed Robin a card and chocolates.
"These are for you, too," he muttered. She grinned at him.
"You're too sweet!" she said.
"Yuck." Robin giggled.
"Bye, Aly, I'll see you in Transfiguration!" he said walking off and waving. Aly raised her eyebrow.
"Do you fancy Damien?" she asked queerly.
"I'm just teasing."
"Sure. Did you know that dark chocolate is actually good for you?" Aly asked, opening her bag.
"Really?"
"Yup."
"Gem," Michael sang coming up from behind her. Aly turned around and frowned. He was walking toward her with that trademark idiotic grin and strolling toward her with a heart shaped card and chocolate.
"You've got to be kidding me!" she exclaimed.
"Of course not," Michael said coming up to her and handing her the card and chocolate. "These are for you."
"Um, thanks?"
"Not because I like you, Gem. Only because it's tradition." Aly rolled her eyes.
"Thanks."
"For you, Robin," he said handing her the chocolate and smiling at her. Robin took the chocolate. "I've got to run." He walked off.
"Wow. Straum didn't act like an idiot this time!" Aly exclaimed.
"Michael? And idiot?" Robin sighed. "Never."
"Do you like Straum?" Aly asked with disgust.
"No!" Robin exclaimed. Aly raised an eyebrow. "I don't."
"Sure."
