Chapter 1

'Valentine's Day, as couples gaily describe, is that one special day where they could have the whole day with the ones they love most. Giving fragrant cards and roses. Making sure that the whole world knows that they were in love. Walking hand-in-hand towards wherever their feet could take them. After all, in Valentine's Day, all they care was their "soul mates". Well, as for me, Valentine's Day is just another normal day that would pass quickly as I read my ever-ready books.

Never have I received a card or what so ever in Valentine's Day. I mean, how could I? Who would send a Valentine greeting to a bossy bookworm like me? Who would even like me? Gryffindor boys are the only ones who never treated me like a dork. I'm sure Neville wouldn't give me anything for Valentine's Day. Ever since he met the new first year, Arlene, he had never set eyes on ANYONE. Seamus or Dean? No, Seamus is already Parvati's new boyfriend while Dean is Lavender's. I'm pretty sure that Ron wouldn't. He had been going out with Luna Lovegood ever since the start of sixth year. What about Harry? Well, I think after that break up with Cho Chang last year and Sirius dying, he would be too busy with his emotions to love.

Poor Harry. I feel sorry for him. A break up with Cho was harsh but Sirius dying was harder to accept. Sirius may not be like a second father but Sirius was his best friend. The best friend he met in our third year. The best friend that we rescued from a dementor's kiss. And also the best friend of Harry's father James. It may look like Harry was okay now unlike at the end of last year but I know the horrible weight in his heart was still there. Making him remember the sour past. I wish I could help him.'

Hermione paused and stared at her open diary that she had been writing on. She began to think of Harry. 'I wonder where he had gotten off to.' She thought. The two of them took an early breakfast alone in the Gryffindor table only having their professors chattering at the table near them. Harry promised her that he will see her in the library to pick her up before twelve to have a lunch in Hogsmeade and roam around.

' "But why in Hogsmeade?" Hermione inquired.

"I'd rather eat in Hogsmeade than have lunch on the deserted Gryffindor table." Harry answered, "Besides, I don't want to stay here all day with nothing to do! Please say you'll come with me to Hogsmeade! I also don't want to go there alone, you know!" He added as he read her why-don't-you-go- by-yourself look.

Hermione gave up and agreed.'

Hermione looked at her watch, 11:45. He would be here soon. Dipping her quill into her ink bottle, she continued to write.

'Speaking of Harry, he promised to pick me up today so we can go to Hogsmeade. Normally, I would have disagreed because we have a test on Monday but, as Ron would say, it's only for a day. You know, Harry and Ron were right. I should loosen up a bit. I'm too stressed! I deserve I one-day vacation!'

Hermione

"Hi Hermione."

The sixteen-year-old prefect closed her diary shut and looked up at him. "Harry! Don't sneak up on me like that!"

Chuckling, he helped her gather her things. "Sorry. Come on, we're going to Hogsmeade. Remember?"

Hermione nodded and cradled her things, "Let me just—." Harry cut her off by waving his wand and muttering a spell on her things which flew out of her hands. "Harry! What did—?"

"Relax, I just sent your things back up to your dorm." He grabbed her hand, "Let's go!" ~~~

Short, huh? I'll add tomorrow. Promise! TAKE CARE! Please review!
