VALENTINE

Hermione

The air in the great hall was filled with small paper hearts fluttering down, and then seeming to be absorbed into the floor. All of the students robes were bewitched either Red for boys, and Pink for girls. The staff all wore pink robes with a pattern of red hearts. It was breakfast time, and sausage and heart shaped pancakes were being served. I sat at a table, enjoying my meal with Ron and Harry.

I picked up the syrup from the table and carefully poured it over my pancake, and looked at disgust at Ron. He was stuffing food into his mouth then washing it down with great gulps of milk. It was amazing, and at the same time disgusting how much food my friend could eat, and remain skinny. Harry however was eating meticulously just like me. He had a date later with Parvati Patil at the Three Broomsticks in Hogesmade.

"So 'Mione," Ron spewed, "Who are you going to Hogesmade with?"

"It's really none of your business Ron." I replied.

"Ah c'mon 'Mione, Im your best friend!"

"Well if you must know Ron, I am not going with anyone. I wasn't asked. Although I am going to go and enjoy myself alone. Maybe I will head into Zonkos and buy my parents one of those candies that allow you to float in the air, they are quite interested, and those are sugar-free."

I gave Ron a descending glare to let him know I wouldn't go with almost anyone who asked me, although I would.

"Sounds fun. You know Fred doesn't got a date either, George went an' snagged that Angelina Johnson. Fred has had a crush on her forever!"

"What about Katie Bell?" I asked with curiosity in my voice.

"She going with Marcus Flint!!! Can you believe the nerve o' her accepting that dare that Wood gave her! My god it's a real hard way to earn 5 galleons."

I had no words to reply to that. It appeared Katie Bell was a tramp now! Everyone knows Marcus Flint is a very convincing guy who makes every girl who goes out with him sleep with him somehow! I can't believe Katie was willing to sleep with someone! She was only 16!

Dumbledore stood up with a twinkle in his eyes and the hall silenced. "I suspect you all wish to get off exploring with your Valentines, so 3rd years and up, you are dismissed. Please get on and have fun. 1st years through 3rd years, The 9th corridor and the fifth floor is hosting a Valentine party for us. Please enjoy your day!"

We rose and walked out the doors, dates holding hands. One couple was managing to walk somehow while kissing. I serparated from Ron and Harry and approached Fred, who was looking very forlorn at the loss of a date. I walked up by him and smiled.

"Say Fred, you don't have a date and I don't. What do you say, even though you are a 6th year and I am a 4th, about us being eachothers dates?"

Fred looked immensely surprised, and pleased! "Well Hermione, you aren't just a lonely book worm! I would be delighted to have you as my date."

He slipped his arm around my shoulders. I snuggled into him. Most of the time we were more like brother and sister because Ron was my best friend, but it felt wonderful to snuggle into him. He stretched his arm and then rested it lower, too lower, on my breast.

"FRED!" I exclaimed, shocked. But I didn't pull away. We were walking away from the crowd now.

He lifted his hand so it was draped over my shoulder again. He smiled.

"Sorry 'Mione. Is it alright if I call you that? Well welcome to the world of dating 6th years."

"Yes, call me 'Mione, I like it."

We walked on, headed to Madame Valla's coffee house. No students under 5th year usually went there. Valla's was known for not breaking up snuggling students on the plush couches.

To be continued.......

Alright I know it's a suggestive start but nothing that's not PG-13 is going to happen. Some content might be slightly R-rated but no fear, no awful scenes. To explain it this story is going to switch around viewpoints. It'll start with the other people as soon as Dumbledore exuses the students. I know you are smart enough to figure that out, but humor me, I don't like people to be confused.
