Hersey Kisses

Chapter 1: The announcement

*****

Hermione rushed in through the Gryffindor portait hole looking more exciting than ever. She ran over to me and Ron, while we were sitting in the corner of the room. She jolted up to us, out of breath babbling about something

"I just heard the best news," Hermione said finally starting to calm down.

"What did the library get new books today," Ron joked. Hermione didn't think it was that funny and shot him a malicious glare.

"Calm down, Hermione. It was just a joke. Not to mention, it was pretty funny," I said trying not to provoke her.

Hermione rolled her eyes and continued. " I over heard Dumbledore talking to McGonagall."

"Wow, what's so special about that. They are always talking," Ron remarked.

"I heard them say that they were going to be selling something for Valentine's Day."

"Did you hear what they are selling, maybe I will buy one," I said trying to think what they might be selling.

"No. But I did hear them say they were going to make the announcement at dinner."

"Oh, thanks for reminding me I was beginning to starve. Dinner starts in 5 minutes. If we hurry we can hear the announcement and get first dibs on the food."

Hermione and I just ignored that last comment and started out of the common room.

"Goyle can you walk a little faster. We have to meet Crabbe in the Great Hall. I want to hear the announcement that Pansy was talking about," I screamed to that slow idiot.

"I'm coming. I'm coming, but why would you care about what this announcement is. Didn't Pansy say you had to buy it? And why would you buy her something when you hate her. And know that if you buy her something she is gonna be all over you.."

"Shut up, Goyle. You're rambling. Again. Whoever said I was going to buy something for Pansy anyway?"

"Oh, I never thought of that Draco."

"That's right Goyle. You don't think."

When the Gryffindor trio were finally seated, they noticed Malfoy and Goyle walk in (of Course he had to have a grand entrance.)

Dumbledore stood up. He flicked his hand and his voice was magically magnified. "Before we eat, I have an announcement. We will be selling Hersey Kisses for Valentine's Day. They will be sold during meals and cost 7 knuts each bag." Many people, mostly every single pureblood were clueless of what these Hersey Kisses were. Surprisingly, Malfoy knew what they were. "For those who do not know what a Hersey Kiss is, it is a piece of chocolate wrapped in tinfoil." Many of the people who did not know now understood, though there were still two who didn't (anyone want to take a guess). Crabbe and Goyle leaned over to Draco and asked what they were, since their 'leader' already knew. "They will be sold starting now and until the Feburary 13. Now it is time to eat." He waved his hands and the food appeared on all the tables.

Later in the Slytherin common room, Malfoy was trying to keep that slut Pansy off of him.

"Oh Draco, are you going to buy me kisses. They are really romantic you know."

"Pansy how many times am I going to have to tell you? I am not buying you anything," Draco shouted and went into is room.

Draco had gotten his own room since he was a prefect. There were so many empty rooms in the dungeons, that he begged for one an got it. He knew that Pansy wouldn't follow him into his room, at least not just yet. Just in case, he manually locked the door so she couldn't get in unless he opened it. Which he knew there was no way he would.

"So Hermione who are you going to send one to. We do only have two weeks to send them," I mentioned to her.

"Well, you will just have to wait to see."

Then Hermione stood up and left the common room and went to her dorm.

"So Ron who are you going to send a hersey to," I asked joking around. Everyone pretty much knew who he was going to send one to.

*****

Late that night when everyone was lying in their four poster beds, all they could think about was who would send the Herseys to who. Everyone knew exactly who they were going to send it to. There only worries were if the person they sent it to, wouldn't send one back, or if no one sent them one at all.
