A/N: Tada! the fourth chapter! Please tell me if you like it!
Don't chicken out, thought Ron to himself. He was standing at the table selling roses during breakfast.
"How many would you like?" asked the 3rd year cashier girl.
"Just one please," Ron answered.
"That'll be 5 sickles,"
He handed her the coins and she gave him a deep scarlet rose.
"All you have to do is talk into the rose and it will record your message. If you mess up, just point your wand at it and say "Elimino" and you can start over. When you're done, just give us the rose and we'll keep it until delivery," the 3rd year said.
"Alright, thanks," Ron replied.
He walked over to a quiet corner of the great hall, so he could have some privacy. What am I going to say?, he thought. Just tell the truth, his mind answered.
"Hi Hermione, this is Ron. I-I just wanted to tell you that you're a very special friend to me. *Pause* In fact, I would love it if you were more than a friend to me. I've loved you for a long time. But if you don't feel the same way, I understand and you can just forget I said anything. Well, in any case, have a Happy Valentine's Day." he finished.
He brought the rose back to the table, and then went to sit and eat, feeling slightly shaky. He was very glad he had come early so Hermione or Harry hadn't seen him buy the flower. He hoped this turned out ok.
*******************
The next day, Harry also got up early in order to buy a rose. Once he had bought it, he went to a corner to record his message.
"Hermione, this is Harry. I hope you're having a good day. *Pause* I just wanted to tell you that I've been thinking a lot about you lately. I really like being around you, and I wondered if you would like to be my girlfriend. If you don't want to, I'll understand. But if you do, I'll be the happiest guy around. Happy Valentine's Day!"
Harry returned the rose and sat down, hoping that this all ended up alright.
*******************
Ginny wasn't really a morning person, so instead of buying a rose at breakfast, she stayed at dinner until most people had left and purchased it then.
"Hi Harry, this is Ginny. I know that you already know this, but I really like you. But not just because you're famous, like some people might think, but I like your personality and how kind you are even though you have a lot of good reasons to be mean. I think if you gave me a chance, you would like me too. So, I was wondering, will you be my Valentine?"
She returned the rose and walked out to her dormitory, hoping and praying that Harry would be her Valentine.
