The day before Valentine's Day, Hermione helped Ron get prepared to give Harry the chocolates, and Ron needed a lot of help. He had no idea what to say. So they sat in the boy's dormitories trying to figure it out.
"How about if you just say it straight out," Hermione suggested.
"How about no," Ron stated.
"Then why don't you just say," Hermione said mocking a man's voice, "'Harry, these are from me.'"
Ron sighed. He'd have to do it somehow so why not that way.
At that moment, Harry walked through the door.
"I'll just leave," Hermione stood up to leave.
"But," Ron started.
"Really Ronald, I have work that needs to get done," She replied.
Ron knew why she was leaving though. She had no intention of doing work; she just wanted to leave the two of them alone. Harry had no clue what was going on.
When Hermione left, Harry sat down on the edge of his bed, staring at Ron. Ron couldn't look at him.
"So, er, do you have anyone special you want to spend Valentine's Day with?" Harry asked.
"Yea, I guess you could say that," Ron said, avoiding Harry's eyes.
"Oh, because, uh, I don't really have any plans and I was wondering if, well, maybe you wanted to just hang out that day," and Harry quickly added, "You know, just as friends and stuff."
"Really?" Ron asked, looking up at Harry. He thought that Harry would have something planned already. "What about Malfoy?"
"Oh, he's not the romantic type," Harry replied.
"But what about all those dates you guys have had?" Ron questioned.
"Those were all my plans," Harry stated.
"Oh," Ron said.
"But anyways, since you already have someone you want to spend it with," Harry started but was cut off by Ron.
"Screw that," Ron said, "I want to hang out with my best mate."
