When January ended, and February showed itself, it brought with it even more snow and several Elemental sessions, which had grown to incorporate nearly all of the students, with Professors Flitwick, Sprout, and Sinistra all joining Professor Lupin to begin to understand what was going on with their lessons.
Professor Lupin was a water Elemental, with Flitwick and Sinistra both being Fire Elementals, and Professor Sprout was an Earth Elemental.
Luna had even joined, though she insisted that no one element would call to her.
Rather frequently now they would have small scale war simulations, with the Professors acting as generals. These sessions were the most fun to lead and to participate in, according to all of the feedback Harry would get after each session.
He noticed that Romilda Vane still attended, staring at Harry and giving Daphne dirty looks.
The second session of the month was four days before Valentine's day and to celebrate it some of his students had put on a display, with hearts made of Fire, Ice, and Earth rising and falling on repeat.
On the Sunday of the fourteenth Harry was in Hogsmeade with Daphne, after having visited the shops and wandered around, before stepping into a small romantic cafe that wasn't to either of their tastes.
"I know what we can do." Harry suggested as the two walked hand in hand through the snowy streets of the small village and he placed an arm around Daphne's torso. "Do you trust me?"
"Always." Daphne responded with a smile and Harry nodded at her before casting a spell to keep her next to him at all times and raising the two into the air, only a few feet above the ground.
"Shall we go higher?"
"Yes, I think we shall."
The two rose to twenty feet, then forty, and even up to one hundred feet, not moving for a moment, before Harry took them forward, getting faster and faster. The couple flew towards the school, looping around the Astronomy tower and then to Professor Trelawney's classroom, before swooping down and over the forest and down to the lake.
For the next ten minutes the pair flew all around the school, sometimes flying dangerously fast, and other times they would slow down for a minute or two before speeding off. When they finally set down in the Entrance Courtyard Daphne pulled Harry into a kiss as the two embraced, sharing a moment of content joy.

After returning from the Elemental session on the Seventeenth of February, Harry walked into the dormitory and changed into his casual clothes, noticing a box of white chocolates on his bed. As he didn't much like them, and he knew they didn't come from Daphne based on the gift tag that read "To Harry from Romilda Vane X" he decided to ask Goyle, who happened to be in the room with him, if he wanted them, to which he answered that he did.
He thanked Harry for the chocolates and began to eat them as Harry finished getting changed.
"Enjoy." Harry said as he left the dormitory, not noticing the dreamy look on Goyle's face which deepened with every chocolate eaten.
Harry mentioned the chocolates to Daphne as he passed her friend group, he pitied Romilda when he saw the look on Daphne's face and kissed her on the cheek before leaving.
/_-^_^_/
Daphne Greengrass had everything she wanted in life. She was wealthy, got very good grades, has many good friends, with a loving family and doting boyfriend, she had everything she wanted in life and didn't want to give it up.
When she heard about that bitch Romilda trying to flirt with Harry for the second time, she knew she would have to get revenge. The very vessel for her revenge became immediately apparent when Goyle wandered out of the Sixth year boy's dormitory, with a massive grin on his face and the chocolates in his hand, she could identify a love potion anywhere, having brewed them in Potions and seen the effects in a memory from her father.
She followed the boy up the stairs from the dungeons, up the first, second, and third floor staircases, and onto the fourth floor, she spotted the fourth year waiting for Harry.
Before Romilda could even say anything Daphne had already hit her with an infatuation enchantment and let Goyle and the girl fall in love for the day.
"If she is happy to use love potions then she deserves a taste of her own medicine." Daphne thought to herself as she walked away from the new couple and returned to her friends.
/_-^_^_-/
Romilda Vane had never been so embarrassed in her entire life. Not only had she failed to show Harry that he did actually love her, but Goyle of all people had eaten her chocolates instead. What followed was twenty four hours of her and "that repulsive boy" kissing and telling all of her friends that they were in love.
Even after explaining that she had no feelings for him, and insisting that it was the result of a charm gone, nobody believed her.
"Harry will make them all stop, all it will take is for him to look deep into my eyes and we will fall madly in love with each other."
The obsessed girl wanted only one thing.
/_-^_^_-/
Three bursts of fire were met with three powerful gusts of wind, punches and kicks were blocked, dodged, or returned, and spells collided in mid air, raining sparks of every colour on the floor around the two brothers.
Harry summoned the back of Elias's head but it didn't slow him down as he rolled with the pull and coated himself in fire, making Harry launch himself away, only to land in a shrinking ring of fire. A tornado did in with the ring of death before propelling Harry towards Elias, with the latter pouring fire into the tornado and making it uninhabitable for Harry. Stealing a move from his older brother's book Elias rode the fire tornado in the same way that Harry would ride one of his own.
Not wanting to have his own tactics used against him, Harry created a tornado going the opposite direction and cancelling out the younger boy's attack.
"You're slowing down old man." Elias teased, sending a volley of harmless jinxes at his brother while using fire to corral him into a corner.
"Old man? I'm two years older than you are." Harry responded indignant at the insult.
"Slow. Old. Man." Elias taunted as he pressed forward, reducing the available areas for Harry to retreat to.
"Acrophobia!" Harry shouted, making the young boy vomit from the illusion of falling from such a height, Harry's wind helping sell the illusion. While the Acrophobia spell was in effect the fire around Harry ended up dying away, giving Harry the chance to move out of the corner and into position to finish the duel. "Stupify" Harry whispered and sent the spell at his brother. Elias, to his credit, managed to hear the word above the whistling wind and turn into his fox form, also known as a Tulikettu or a fire fox, and avoided the spell.
Before Harry could react he was knocked onto his back, with Elias sitting on his chest for a moment before he turned back into himself and disarmed Harry.
"I win." Elias exclaimed excitedly, having never beaten Harry before today.
"Congratulations little bro, you've improved massively. I'm proud of you." He added on once he had stood up, pulling his brother into a hug and leaving with him to spend time with the rest of their friends.
