Cupid, You're Stupid
By Strawberri
A/N: This is my first fic with more than one chapter! Go me! It takes place during Hermione's fifth year. I hope you like it and please leave a review! :-)
Valentine's Day. Who invented such an evil holiday? Oh, sure it's a great excuse for all the happy, cuddling couples to buy each other chocolates and make out all day, but what about all the single people in the world? All they get is a stomachache from watching all the cutesy couples giggle and grope each other.
This was Hermione Granger's personal opinion on the 14th of February. Every year on this day she had a faint hope that maybe this year she would receive a box of chocolates or a rose from a secret admirer. But so far, no one had proclaimed their undying love for her, so she had kind of given up on the notion.
As Hermione walked down to the great hall for breakfast, she thought about all of this. This year, she decided, when Valentine's Day came, she would try as hard as she could to act like it was just any other day of the year and not spend her time worrying about such things. She could study or read instead. When she reached the great hall, she sat down at the Gryffindor table.
"Hey, Hermione," Ron and Harry said.
"Good morning," Hermione answered.
Before they could say anything else, Dumbledore stood and asked for everyone's attention.
"I am pleased to announce, that this year we will be selling red roses for Valentine's Day courtesy of The Magic Beanstalk flower shop. The roses will cost 5 sickles each and will recite a message to a friend or special someone. They will be on sale here in the great hall during all eating hours. They will then be delivered on February 14th during breakfast. That is all," Dumbledore sat down.
Oh great, thought Hermione, now I'll never be able to act like it's a normal day , with everyone running around counting their mountains of flowers and me sitting there with none , especially not one from the person I most want one from. Hmph.

A/N: Coming next chapter: Who does Hermione dream about getting a flower from? Who dreams about giving a flower to Hermione? And are they the same person?
