Chapter 28: Valentines Day

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. I do own a huge pile of homework that I am ignoring right now, though.

As a new Hogsmeade Village visit notice was posted on the Gryffindor notice board, a group of Gryffindors rushed over to see what day. Among the group was Mary, Rose, Hermione, Ron, and Harry.

"Valentines Day," Rose said looking over the crowd of people.

"That's next Saturday right?" Mary asked. "I can never seem to remember when Holidays are." She explained.

"Yeah next Saturday," Hermione said as they pushed their way through the crowd back out towards the portrait hole. After much yelling (Harry, Mary, Ron, and Rose against Hermione) they were off to the library to finish their newest potions essay due at the end of the weekend.

"I hate potions." Mary whispered while they were down in the library.

"WE know Mary this is only the millionth time you've mentioned this." Rose answered. "And it is getting quite annoying."

Mary groaned, "I can not work, this is way too hard. Have you realized that Snape gave only the Gryffindors essays?"

"YES!" Four voices yelled.

"Meanies," Mary said and bent back over her work.

A tap on Hermione's shoulder made Hermione spin around and stop working. It was Terry and none of them had to be physic to know what he was doing here.

"Can I talk to you Hermione?" He asked. Hermione nodded slammed her books shut and left with Terry.

"Ok, she's gone. I don't have to work on this any longer." Mary said and slammed her book shut and slipped it into her bag. Harry followed Mary after Mary got up and left but Ron and Rose stayed.

Ron moved closer to Rose when he saw them leave.

"You're going to get us kicked out Ron," Rose said catching his thoughts.

"Only if we get caught," Ron said and kissed her. Rose giggled and kissed him back.

"You know after about two minutes you start to lack in oxygen." A voice said. The couple broke apart to see Mary standing there a grin that said 'I am up to no good.'

"Why'd you come back?" Rose asked.

"Forgot my quill." She said picking it up off the table top and putting it in her bag. She left, both Rose and Ron blushing a deep crimson.

"So," Ron said. "You want to go to the Hogsmeade trip with me?" He asked.

"Did you have to ask?" Rose asked back and kissed him again.

"You know, you never told me how you got those scars." Harry said touching the one on Mary's neck lightly. It glowed silver for a moment then turned back to its normal color.

"I'm not ready to talk about it." She said pulling her hair in front of her face so it covered the side with the scars. Harry nodded and put his arm on the shoulder furthest from him causing Mary to rest her head on his chest. Mary let out a sigh. She loved the way Harry always understood. A few minutes ago he had asked her out on a date on the Valentines Day Hogsmeade trip. Of course Mary had said yes. Now the two were absolutely silent but to Mary the silence spoke a thousand words.


Ron and Rose left for the Hogsmeade Valentines Day trip hand in hand both grinning happily. They hadn't decided on a place to go so they ended up walking all around Hogsmeade half in silence half talking to each other.

Hermione and Terry had gone to a coffee shop. The very same one that Harry had gone to with Cho not a day over a year ago. One would expect them to be speaking of nothing other than school work but today they had promised each other to not even mention the words 'school' , 'homework' , or anything else school related. They were actually spending the day talking about each other. Getting to know each other just a little more.

Harry and Mary were walking around Hogsmeade too. Walking into each store and looking around. Mary was superstitious that day though. She thought it was going too perfect. She felt as if a Death Eater was hiding behind every building ready to attack her and Harry. It took Harry until lunch to calm her down. After the day was over and they were all heading back to Hogwarts Mary started laughing at how stupid she was acting. Overall all three couples had, had a great day.


Yes. I know MEGA SHORT I'm sorry! Please forgive me. The next chapters will be long though. I've already started them.

Insane clutz 4 eva: thanks.

Arisa-san: Thanks, you just made me a happy person (why is it whenever I say that I think "sponge" in place of person. SPONGEBOB GET OUT OF MY MIND) um….

funkygurl3: Whoever said saying "good luck" jinxes somebody? We did really well in the chorus contest thingy. We got two twos and a one in our performance. And then in the sight singing we got a one.

Jinnylover86: (for your chapter 12 review) YOU STALKER! I'm kidding. I live in VA too. Although I'd much rather be in England. And it's not Jinny its Ginny. With a 'G' not a 'J'

(For your chapter 17 review) thank you.

(For your chapter 19 review) WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? You just sent in about 7 reviews to me and you don't think it's enough? –Hugs- You is crazy.

(For your chapter 22 review) Thanks a lot. You don't know how much I love these reviews.

(For your chapter 23+24+28 review) I am in the 7th grade. So I'm actually taking the practice SOLs that determine what type of class I will be in next year. Most people might think that it's not important but at my school it is. I value education and most people in my regular classes don't. So I need to get put in the honors classes next year. Oh and you're blind? You mean like literally blind, blind, or you just need glasses or something…?
