Ch 46 An Eventful Valentine

The one day off the year that Ritsuka Fujimaru loves and hates simultaneously is Valentine's Day. Especially with most of the Fan Club still out it to gain his love; that's why he asked someone to be with him at all times. "Master, are you alright?" Galahad walks over to his master.

Galahad, the perfect candidate for protecting him from any poison; even Love Potions. Ritsuka looks at his brother-in-law, giving him a small smile. "Y-Yeah, just a bit scared that's all."

"Yes, Valentine's Day. A day where every girl and boy goes crazy for the ones they love." Galahad commented; he doesn't mind the holiday often getting chocolates from the younger Chaldean staff back home. However, things change when it comes to loony girls who will stop at nothing to get what they believe they deserve.

"Never knew you're such a stickler for this day, Galahad." Ritsuka smiles deciding to put on something festive for today.

Galahad shook his head. "I'm not, just wary since you know…the incident."

Ritsuka shutters, remembering that day very well. The one day BB would give an aphrodisiac to the female Servants in their food. Even Caenis and Mordred who hates being call called a woman were effective by the potion. "It was lucky that Goetia was able to hide me from the female Servants in his dark room. I swear if BB is on Humanity's side." He commented.

"She's does seem to look like it. but who knows with that AI." Galahad added, crossing his arms. He looks to the side, seeing the doors open to Mashu with Romani.

Mashu blinks seeing her husband and Pseudo-brother together in his office. "Oh, Onii-san. I didn't know you were here." The former Demi-Servant said, happy to see him anyways.

Galahad looks at his Pseudo-sister, smiling softly when he sees his Pseudo-nephew smiling at him in his red shirt and black baby jeans. "Hi, Uncwe Gawahad!" Romani spoke a bit more fluently now and much aware of his surroundings.

"Hello little one," Galahad smiles at the small child. He looks at Mashu, wondering why she's here. "Mashu, what are you doing here? It's not the start of class yet, it's about to be lunch." He commented.

Mashu nodded, knowing the schedule of her husband's daily tasks. "Yes, but it's still Valentine's Day and the Dumbledore-sensei has called everyone to the Great Hall for a special lunch for the entire school." She informs the two.

Romani giggles clapping his hands, excited for a party. "Yay, Vawenthinesh Day!" He laughs.

Ritsuka place down his papers, walking over to his son. "Well, if it's a party then we have to go." He took Romani in his arms as the child fail them excitedly when he is in his father's embrace.

"Alrighty then, shall we go now? Right Romani-kun?" Mashu gently patted their son's belly happily, hearing him giggle.

"Yeah!" Romani responded to his mother.

Ron watches every girl giving Valentine's chocolate to their love interest. Some guys didn't receive anything just sat there, waiting for something to happen to them.

"Hey, so what are you doing?" Jane asked, sitting down next to her friend.

The red-haired boy looks at Jane, sighing. "Oh Jane, I was just…looking for something to eat! Yes, that's it. Something to eat since I'm hungry and all." Ron smiles at his friend before hearing some couples laughing in joy.

Jane looks at where Ron was staring and saw many couples handing each other their gifts. "I see now, a bit jealous that they're getting Valentine's gifts, Ron?" She smirks at him.

Ron snaps her head at her, "Y-Yes, I am." He admits, knowing that Jane can tell whenever he's lying. "It's just every year Harry gets something from almost every girl in the school. For a moment there, I just thought that maybe I can get some since you know…" he said, ashamed to even have that train of thought.

"I understand, between you and me…" Jane leans in her friend's ear. "(Harry really hates the gifts. Most of them are just snacks dose with Love Potions)" She whispers to him.

Ron's eyes widen, realizing why now Professor Evans was checking every gift that Harry receives. "Now I know why Professor Evans is checking Harry's present. It's for checking for any Love Potions doses!"

"What's this about Love Potion doses?" Hermione walks into the Great Hall with a small bag in her hands.

The two look behind them, seeing the bushy-haired girl. "We're just saying why Mum is checking Harry's gifts from last Valentine's Day. Mum believes that Harry got some presents with a dose of Love Potion within them."

Hermione's eyes widen, always curious about why the Charms Professor would do that. "Now I understand. Make sense then." She commented.

Ron looks at the pink bag in her hands, "So what you got there Mione?" he asked.

"Um…it's some white chocolate I got from home," Hermione replied, handing over the sweets to the red-haired boy. "I-I wanted to give it to for…you know being there for me." Her cheeks blushed redder than an apple.

Ron froze, seeing the blush she looks cute when he looks at her. His hand reaches over to the small pink bag, "Uh…thank you, Hermione." He blushed at the gift.

Jane grins, seeing her two bestest friends slowly realizing how they really feel about each other. "Jane, didn't get something from someone?" Ron coughs gaining her attention.

The red-haired girl shook her head, not receiving any kinds of sweets, cards, or presents from anybody. "Hahahaha, I wish. The only Valentine's gift I got was when some boy in my elementary school had this little crush on me." She waves her hand in the air.

"Awe, that sounds sad." Isolde walks over to the group. "That boy seems to really like you a lot, Jane." The Slytherin commented on what she said.

Jane looks at Isolde, surprised as everyone for her to speak with them. "O-Oh, um. Isolde I'm not sure if-"

"What are you doing here talking to the Gryffindors?" Pansey walks up to the brunette with two more Slytherin girls. "You should know that we as Slytherins shouldn't socialize with Mudbloods or Blood traitors. Come with me and we'll show you the right path." She offered her hand to the new girl.

Isolde thought for a moment, she eyes Jane secretly praying that she refuses the offer. "Tempting, but no. I rather not involve myself with incest families, since ya know they're…problematic in the head." She gave an evil grin at the dark skin girl.

Pansy doesn't know what this Slytherin means, but she instantly took it as an insult to her and her family. "How dare you insult a fellow Slytherin!" she raised her voice in disbelief.

"Yeah! Who do you think you are, treating your fellow Purebloods like that of Muggle dirt!?" One of Pansy's followers demanded of this strange new girl.

"How despicable, how would your family react that you're defending Mudbloods and insulting us!?" Another of Pansy's followers asked Isolde's reason for defending the lower class.

Isolde thought gleefully for a moment, her lips curled into a sadistic smile. A smile that even frighten a Dementor out of the shadows. "Oh, if mother was here, she would be proud of me. After all, she despises everything about Wizard Society. Enough to commit genocide once again to your kind." That sentence is enough for Pansy and the others to step down. "Though, she would ask me to wipe out every single Wizard or Witch in this very room. Toying with you all until their last breath," She lets out a sick giggle.

'Dear Merlin, she's not right in the head!' Jane gasps, hearing all the evil things she would do to them.

Isolde just laughs it off, "But I can't, so take this a fair warning not to cross me." Her blue eyes pierce the impenetrable brave and cocky facade the Slytherin puts up to act tough. "Do. I. Make. Myself. Clear? Because if not, then you better find the Pink toad to protect you (Or try to protect you) from me." she smiles.

Pansy felt her fear spilling out of her, those eyes she looks straight into. Those are the eyes of a monster, an unholy being. All she could do is nod and run in the opposite direction in fear of what Isolde could do.

Isolde turns to the Golden Trio; her face back to her cheery self. "Sorry about that, they were really pissing me off." She said, giving an evil eye to the rest of the Slytherins.

"Blimey, that…that was something," Ron commented. "You're lucky that the Professors aren't here to see that. You'll be in so much trouble from Umbridge for betraying your house." The red-haired boy commented.

"Yeah, now your house will treat you differently since you stood up against one of them," Jamie added, still impressed that a Slytherin would talk back against their own.

Jane however felt a bit concern; what their new friend just said about a mass genocide of the Wizards and Witches. "I-Isolde…d-did you-"

Isolde waves her hand at Jane, "Oh goodness no! I was just bluffing; none could actually cause a mass genocide by themselves." She smirks. "But toying with them…well, I can do that." She flips her uniquely styled wand.

Hermione sighs in relief that she was making a terrible joke. "Ah, Isolde please don't make a joke like that please." She smiles weakly.

The brunette shrugs, sitting down in the Gryffindor's seat. "No promises Hermione,"

"Uh, can someone tell us where the Slytherin girl and her friends went to?" Flat enters the Great Hall, making his to the Gryffindor Table.

Jane jumps, seeing the blond boy entering the hall. "O-Oh, Flat. Hello." The red-haired girl blushed in his presence.

Flat waves at Jane with his usual bright smile. "Hello Jane, I got something for you that you might like." He said, showing a bag of sweets made from Parvati in the kitchen. He handed to the young Witch in her hands, "Lancer made this for me. Since it's Valentine's Day, I decided to give it to you."

Isolde smiles, seeing sparks flying off from Jane when the Assassin of Grimmauld gave the bag. "Ohoho…this seems interesting." She grabs Hermione, taking her to the seat. "Come now Hermione, we don't want to disrupt dear Jane."

Hermione quickly caught on and obliges the new girl. "Of course Isolde, of course."

Jane looks at the bag, taking out a heart-shaped cookie. "T-Thank you, Flat." She smiles at the kind gesture. "I appreciate it, but I didn't get you-"

"Oh, I don't expect you to. It's just my little way to make you feel better." Flat turns around waving his hand. "Anyways, me, Saber, and Saber have a task to do. See ya around Janey." He gave a charming smile.

Jane felt her heart skip a beat like last time, she looks at Flat leaving the hall. She sat back down, enjoying the snack he gave her. 'Oh Flat, you charmer.' She giggles.

After a few minutes of social interactions, the professors, and staff of Hogwarts entered the Hall. Everyone saw Galahad standing behind his master, Mashu, Da Vinci, Waver, and Hinako sitting at the end of the right side of the table.

The owl spreads his wings as Dumbledore took the podium, "Today is a lovely day, for it's the one time year where we express our love to those who we care-"

"Ahem," Umbridge stood up from her chair, making her way to the podium. Dumbledore steps aside, letting the Undersecretary take to the floor. "Yes, an excellent introduction to this…Holiday, Headmaster." She had a strain in her smile before looking at every student.

"This Holiday may be on Hogwarts's calendar, and I fully support it." Umbridge smiles, announcing her stand on this day. "Unfortunately due to the Educational Decrees, restriction of for this day must be upheld." She said with a fake smile.

"Each year, students who acted in the name of love have committed many unthinkable actions." Umbridge looks around the room, mainly the Muggle-born students.

Waver rolled his eyes, can't believe that this sorry excuse for an instructor is attacking a Holiday of love. 'What a load of bullcrap,' he thought.

Umbridge paces around the stand as she speaks. "With these actions must be restrained, and I; your dependable DADA Professor has petitioned to the Minister and the Board of Education that for this Holiday, every student must simply pass cards." She announces,

"(She can't do that!?)" Ron hissed,

Hermione sighs, knowing that she has the power. "(Unfortunately, she can.)"

Ritsuka felt a rush of anger from a certain someone causing him to be lightheaded. "Ritsuka? Are you alright?" his wife asked.

Lily saw her son, a bit sweaty from where he sat. "Ritsuka, what's going on?" She asked, concern for her 'son'.

Ritsuka gave an ensuring smile, "It's alright, just Assassin's anger towards the Toad. That's all." He chuckles, feeling the anger of Aphrodite from where he sat. 'Aphrodite, I know you're angry. But please calm yourself' he sent a mental message to the Goddess of Love.

'Tch, I apologize human.' Aphrodite said, retraining her fury.

"So without further ado, please hand out your cards to the person next to you." Umbridge smiles at each student. With them passing their cards to the student next to them; there's no incident with any Valentine Potion mishap like in the past.

Umbridge watched as every girl in the Great Hall reluctantly or refuse to give their cards to their friends or someone they don't like. The Pink Toad turns to Dumbledore, "(And that my dear is how to restrict this Valentine's Day nonsense.)" She whispers, making her way back to her seat.

Dumbledore sighs, knowing very well he can't do anything about this. "I-In any case, let's begin our Valentine's Day Lunch!" With that, the food specially prepared appeared before each student.

Ritsuka smiles seeing the food prepared for him, he looks at Mashu who is smiling at him. "Let's eat!" They said, digging in the food.

As they eat, Ritsuka tastes something odd in his food. He pushed away and dabbed his mouth with a napkin. "Ritsuka? Is the food not to your liking?" Lily asked, just saw pushing away his food.

"No, nothing like that. It's just been poisoned that's all." Ritsuka informed his 'mother' about what substance is in his food.

"Oh, is that…POISONED!?" Lily swiftly got up, checking the food that was laced with poison.

James heard his wife saying that word, "Lily what's the-"

"Dear Merlin! Ritsuka's food s laced with a Love Potion, a very advanced one!" Lily said in shock, every teacher (minus Umbridge) went over to Ritsuka.

James checked Ritsuka, seeing if he has any signs of him being affected. "Are you feeling alright? Do you feel love for anyone else?" he asked concern for his well-being and for his 'daughter-in-law' to be hurt.

Ritsuka waves it off, "It's not of the sort, just lost feeling in my legs."

Dumbledore stroked his beard, never seen anyone could resist the effects of a Love Potion before. A few tried but ultimately gave into the effects of the Potion to the person who made it. "Remarkable, not many have given into the Potions."

McGonagall looks at Dumbledore; looking at Ritsuka astonished with his resistance to the Potion. "Headmaster, we need to take Professor Fujimaru to Madame Pomfrey. His condition may be deeper than the outside." She suggested the old man.

Dumbledore nodded, agreeing with his Deputy Headmistress. "Agreed, I can-"

"Allow me to handle master." Galahad offered his service to his master.

Lily watches the Knight of Revelations place his master on his back, treading to the Nurses Office. "Everyone, clear the way." He shouted sternly, causing everyone to move.

Once inside the Nurses Office, Madame Pomfrey was reviewing Ritsuka's health in an enclosed area. Everyone was waiting for here to be finished, "How could this happen? To a teacher no less." James said, worried for his 'son'.

Lily clasps her hands together, praying that everything is alright with Ritsuka. The door burst open to a woman with red hair, wings, and a cigarette between her fingers. "Where is he? I heard that the human has been dosed with a Love Potion." The woman demanded while walking in the infirmary.

McGonagall steps forward in front of the Goddess of Love. "Excuse me, ma'am, this is a student infirmary. I won't allow a disruptive woman to distribute the patients her-"

"McGonagall-sensei, that's Assassin. She's one of Chaldea's Servants." Mashu informed the cat Animagus of this woman.

McGonagall looked surprised, no shocked to see this woman with tremendous Magical properties showed up out of the blue. "T-Then you must be…"

"Servant, Assassin." Aphrodite looks at the opening curtains, coming was Pomfrey with an emotionless face. "What's your conclusion nurse?" The Goddess asked the healer.

"Yes, is Ritsuka going to be fine or the Potion's effect-"

Pomfrey cleared her throat after examining the Magus. "After thoroughly examined Professor Fujimaru…his body is impressive and mysterious…" She bit her thumb, unsure to describe what she examined.

"In what way, Madame Pomfrey?" McGonagall asked the school nurse, curious as to why she's acting strange.

The Nurse sighs, "W-Well, during my examination I found something interesting about him." she said to the staff. "The Love Potion's effects are being suppressed by something. Something old and very powerful."

"Very powerful, so it's some kind of…protection?" Lily asked, wondering what Ritsuka has for him to resist the Potion.

James ponders about the resistance, he then saw Mashu looking like she's keeping a secret. "Mashu, is there something you're keeping a secret from us?" James asked his 'daughter-in-law'.

Every person in the eyes looks at the former Demi-Servants, looking away from their gaze. "Mrs. Fujimaru, please tell us what your husband has in able to resist the Potion's effects?" McGonagall demanded concern that whatever he has is one for concern.

"Mashu, please. We're just worried for Ritsuka's health." Lily reasons with her 'daughter-in-law'. "If this has anything to do with being a Magus then-"

Mashu gave in, "It's Onii-san's protection, his bond with Ritsuka."

"Onii-san?" James questions the strange word Mashu just used.

"It means older brother in Japanese honey." Lily quickly informed her husband. James's had his mouth open, nodding in understanding.

Dumbledore stroke his beard, still curious. "So your brother is a Heroic Spirit, so his legends must be something about poison being less affective on himself."

"Wait, Heroic Spirit? Headmaster what is-"

"So who is your brother-"

Galahad opens the curtains to his master's area. "My name True Name is Galahad Du'Lac, the Knight of Revelations. I'm the second Servant who was summoned by Chaldea as an experiment fusing me with my sister." He announced. "My bond with my master has protected him from many poisons, charms, and compulsions."

"MERLIN'S BLOODY UNDERPANTS!" James gasps, knowing a whole lot about Sir Galahad.

Lily gasps echoes in the room, expressing her shock and relief. "S-Sir G-G-Galahad! T-The son of S-Sir Lancelot…" the only thing the red-haired woman stares, stare in shock to meet a member of the Roundtable.

Dumbledore held onto his beard tight, seeing the grey-haired Knight before him. 'Sir Galahad…one of the Knights who returned the Holy Grail to the Heavens…' he thought, still in shock to find out Galahad is here with them.

McGonagall and Pomfrey were so confused about what's going on. "H-Hold on, what's going on? Why are you three reacting like that?" The Transfiguration Professor asked the three; after a quick explanation both her and Madame Pomfrey gaped at the Knight before them.

"S-So, Mr. Fujimaru…s-summoned you?" McGonagall asked, still coming to terms with the fact Galahad; one of the most famous Knights is here, breathing and alive.

Pomfrey froze, can't move at all due to her pure shock at the Knight. She walks up to the Knight and shook his hand out of admiration for him and his deeds. "S-Sir Galahad, y-you have no idea how h-honored I am to meet you," she said, excited to shake his hands.

"The pleasures all mine, Madame," Galahad replied, before looking at Aphrodite. "Assassin, we need your expertise-"

Aphrodite waves her hand, walking into the enclosed area. "Yeah, yeah, I'll see what I can do about the human's condition." The Goddess said,

After a few moments of Aphrodite examining Ritsuka, she exited the room. Her face expressed a bit of concern for his well-being. "Well?"

"Is there anything we can do?" Lily asked the Goddess.

Aphrodite nodded, crossing her arms. "I've seen this in the past. During a holiday that celebrated me, there's a lot of desperate people for love thus turning to Love Potions for their answer." The Goddess informed the group, remembering the fiasco in Greece.

"So, how do we help Ritsuka? Is there a cure for it?" James asked a bit hopeful about a potential cure.

The Olympian nodded, receiving sighs of relief. "Usually the affected will develop affection to the one who administers the Potion; however this is a special Potion made by the person's hatred and love for two people," Aphrodite said, seeing a bit of concern in their faces.

"Hate and love for two people? How is that possible." Pomfrey asked, never hearing a Love Potion that could do that. Mashu knew there's only one person who hates her to madness and loves Ritsuka that much.

"This Potion the human has ingested is called a Love Poison. Deadly to the people around him and the person." Aphrodite continues. "It sends the victim to a Love Lust that will do anything- I mean anything for the person who gave it. Luckily, the human has Galahad's protection, so the effects are minor…that is until the cure is administered in time."

Lily gasps, wanting a cure right away. "So what do we need for the cure, and how much time do we have?"

Aphrodite smiles, looking at Mashu. "You need to give it by tonight or else the human will fall into a love lust state forever. The only cure is to…"

Mashu fixed her tie and coat, facing the door to Ginny's cell. "Are you sure you can do this Mashu? I mean you fighting her will be…extreme." Ereshkigal said, standing beside her, "Plus her curse…"

"Lancer has a point, we can do it for-"

"I appreciate it Archer-san, Lancer-san, but this is my husband." Mashu looks at the two Goddesses before walking forward.

Koyanskaya chuckles, never seeing Mashu's face like that. "Well then, it seems that little old Mash is serious about this." The fox woman smirks, liking this side of her.

Mashu walks inside the dungeon, seeing Ginny sitting at her bedside. She looks up with a smirk, "Well, it seems Harry got my Valentine's gift. Tell me, does he realize his true feelings about you?" she asked the former Demi-Servant. She looks at what she was wearing

"Ginny, if you are going to get between me and my husband then I'm going to give you something you want," Mashu said, her eyes cold as ice.

Ginny scoffs not taking the woman seriously. "And what's that?"

"A fight, unliked the one last time. I'm not holding back." Mashu stared down at the girl, placing her foot down on her. "Do you agree, Ginny?"

Ginny smirks, walking up to Mashu. "If I win, I'll have Harry to myself, and you'll be on your merry way with your bastard of a son." She grins.

Ishtar, Ereshkigal, and Koyanskaya glare at this insane woman for insulting their young master. "(Mashu, beat her ass.)" Ereshkigal urges her to win.

"Deal, if I win then you have to face the reality that my husband isn't Harry Potter," Mashu said her part on the terms.

Ginny laughs softly, accepting the terms of the fight. "Alright, tonight in the Great Hall where everyone can see our fight. Let's see who will win Harry's heart." She smiles knowing that Avenger's Love Potion will take full effect by tonight.

AN: You all were waiting for this, a true fight between Ginny and Mashu. Who will Ritsuka choose under a Love Poison state? Please leave a comment or review.
