CHAPTER EIGHTEEN.
'Hogsmeade weekend February fourteenth' posters went up on the notice boards on the first day of February. Nobody knew what was on Harry's mind, but when he saw the pink poster all he did was smile.
They were sitting in the great hall the day the posters went up and Draco had held up his end of the bargain by being with Pansy. They walked past them and Draco sneered at them with a twinkle in his eye, (but the effect had worked with Pansy) Pansy laughed,
"Aww stupid Gryffindors." They heard her say under her breath. Hermione, Ron, Harry, and Emma-Leigh just laughed and continued to eat their lunches. They had Potions next, and, because of their new agreement you never knew what to expect. Emma-Leigh and Harry were "unfortunately" stuck in front of Pansy and Draco. They were forced to listen to their snide comments, and Emma-Leigh had taken over Hermione's job of keeping Harry calm. Pansy got more and more rude until Harry was at the point of breaking, but it was Emma-Leigh who ended up spinning.
"Would you keep your disgusting girlfriends fat mouth shut Malfoy. I would hate to waste my own breath cursing her." Emma-Leigh of course received a detention. Pansy had a fit of laugher followed by loud hic-ups. Harry had his potions perfect, it was much easier on him now that Professor Dumbledore was teaching. Pansy's on the other hand, was shocking pink with neon green swirls (not pretty). Draco stayed behind because he needed to have a quick word with Dumbledore. Pansy left to sae "her Drakey baby" a seat. Draco met up with the Gryffindor Gang after to tell them that he had cleared Emma-Leigh's name and she no longer had to go to detention later, and that he had no new information for them so the went their separate ways to the Great Hall. As they left the Hall after dinner they heard a very annoying voice behind them.
"Oh Drakey, Valentine's day is coming up, got anything special planned shnookums ?" the quadruplet could practically hear Draco's eyes rolling.
"Oh of course babe, dinner reservations, moonlit carriage ride the whole bit." He said in a sickly sweet voice.
"I'm so excited and happy you came to your senses and dumped that ugly Gryffindor slut, Michelle, She doesn't deserve you!" She said that part with her screechy voice slightly raised, and before she knew it five different curses hit her. Draco, Emma-Leigh, Hermione, Harry, and Ron had all drawn out their wands and hexed her.
"Shit," Draco said, "how am I going to explain this one?" He laughed and Wingardium Leviosa-ed the very cursed Pansy. "Meh, she got what she deserved." Draco winked at the others and said goodnight before walking down to the Slytherin Common Room with Pansy trailing behind her. The others stood flabbergasted. "Well only at Hogwarts do they A) have magical showdowns in the corridors where it's five against one and B) let pudgy pugfaced prats like Pansy Parkinson in public." Emma-Leigh said.
"Way to use alliteration!" Ron said laughing as he stowed away his wand. The four walked all the way up to the Common Room discussing who used which curse, gave the password "long legged spinners" and went to sleep.
Emma-Leigh was brushing her hair looking into the mirror and sighing. It was Valentine's Day and Harry had "something" planned but he wouldn't tell anyone what it was. Apparently not even Ron knew. Emma-Leigh set the hairbrush down on her bedside table and put on her necklace, picked up her hairbrush and brushed her hair again. She walked down the steps wearing dark blue hip-huggers and a plain black hoodie. And found Harry waiting at the bottom of the stairs with a pink rose.
"Hello gorgeous," he said kissing her on the cheek and handing her the flower. "Happy Valentine's Day," he said.
"Aww. Thanks Harry." Harry took her by the hand and led her out of the Common Room.
"See you later Ron." There was an emphasis on the you, but Emma-Leigh couldn't decipher the meaning. They walked down to the Entrance Hall and out of Hogwarts to the still frosty grounds. Harry still hadn't said where they were going, or what they were doing. Every time Emma-Leigh asked he just smiled and kept on waking. They got to a little Café called 'Just For You' it was nice but not as frilly and annoying as Madam Puddifoot's. Harry ordered a coffee and Emma-Leigh had a nice frappachino mocha thing, which was sweet, but immensely tasty. They talked about random things, laughing at the people around them snogging. Then they conformed and followed the trend. A while later they decided to go to Zonko's to see if there was anything new in stock. On the way they passed Madam Puddifoot's steamy windows. Inside, they could just see Pansy lavishly throwing herself at Draco. They burst out laughing and practically fell into Zonko's gasping for breath.
"Ah, Marauder Jr. How are you? Who is the lovely lady?" he asked.
"This is my girlfriend, Emma-Leigh. We just came by to see if you had anything new." They didn't have anything the Weasley twins didn't so they left and popped quickly into Honeydukes to stock up on chocolate. It was nearing dinnertime so they headed back to Hogwarts. Instead of going into the school, Harry led Emma-Leigh around the side of the school towards the lake. There was a light in the middle of it. Harry continued to walk towards it. They were soon at the shore, and Emma-Leigh hesitated, but was pulled onto the water by Harry. They were walking on the water! Emma-Leigh clung tightly to Harry's arm. It was the weirdest feeling ever. They could feel the small rippling waves but the water never flowed over their shoes. The light on the water turned out to be a candle on top of a table, and there were two chairs. Harry pulled out a seat and Emma-Leigh sat down. He sat across from her and reached for her hand.
" What is going on Harry? How were we walking on water? And now sitting here in the middle of the lake?" Harry smiled and said simply,
"Magic." All of a sudden Ron was standing beside them. He pointed his wand at their plates.
"Bon Appetite" he said and then he vanished. Food appeared on their plates, it was delicious.
"It's so pretty out here sitting in the middle of the lake, with the stars sparkling above our heads, and the moon shining. This is so romantically amazing." Emma-Leigh said placing her fork down looking at the sky. Before she could speak again Harry was out of his chair and beside her.
"Emma-Leigh, I don't know if I can say this enough, or express to you properly the way I feel about you. I love you." Emma-Leigh looked shocked as Harry opened a small box. Inside there was the most beautiful ring she had ever seen. It was a silver band with a decent sizes sapphire in the middle with two slightly smaller diamonds on either side. On the inside he had engraved 'I love you'. He placed the ring on her ginger because she was quite incapable, she was crying hysterically. Shaking with sobs, all she could do was hug him. They sat there in each other's arms for quite sometime.
"Thank you so much," she sobbed, "I love you more then words can say but you have to stop buying me jewellery. It makes me cry too much." With that she jumped on him and kissed him passionately, on the middle of the lake. They got up and went to the Common Room and continued on their make out session. They only said three words to each other over and over again. They were sitting in a corner as to not draw much attention to themselves. It was getting rather late and they were both exhausted.
"This has been the best Valentine's Day ever." Emma-Leigh said as they both drifted off to sleep in each other's arms.
Dear Michelle
Hey Gurl! How have you been? I heard Draco sent you something for V-Day but he wouldn't tell me what it was. So SPILL THE BEANS! I had THE best V-day ever! And you know how much I hate Valentine's day. Anyways Harry bought me my ring, the perfect ring, the prettiest ring, the ring of my dreams Oh My God! He said you didn't dell him… did you? I'm sure I should trust that he is telling me the truth but who knows… you guys didn't tell me about you coming to visit so I don't know what to believe anymore lol. Anyways the funny thing was we saw Draco and Pansy at Madam Puddifoot's and Puggy was viciously throwing herself at him, it was bloody hilarious. I hear we are getting a new Potions Professor in the next few weeks, I cant wait, as much as I love Dumbledore, he is a bit of a barmy old man LOL. Anyways I'll send word after we've met the new one. Good luck with Quidditch, how's my team doing? Are you going against KSS this year? Say hello to everyone and tell them that I miss them all 3
