Ron woke up on Valentine's Day to find Harry already up and out of bed. This gave him time to get ready.
It was noon before Ron even left the dorms. He walked downstairs to find that no one was in the common room. His stomach rumbled so he decided to go get some lunch.
When he got to the Great Hall, he saw Harry sitting across from Hermione, chatting up a storm. Malfoy was nowhere to be seen. As Ron made his way to his two best friends, Harry noticed him and stopped his talking abruptly. Ron ignored this and sat down next to him. They had lunch together like the old times… the times before Harry had started dating Malfoy.
After lunch, Hermione headed off to the library while Ron and Harry made their way back to their dorms.
"You sure you want to spend today with me and not someone else?" Harry asked.
"Of course! We haven't spent a lot of time together lately and I think we need this," Ron said.
Harry smiled. Before Ron had shown up at lunch, Hermione had asked Harry why he was dating Draco if earlier he had told her he fancied Ron. And Harry replied truthfully - he had said that he felt that nothing was going to come out of it so he was forcing himself to move on. What Hermione didn't know was that he hadn't moved on. He couldn't move on.
They spoke the password to the Fat Lady and walked into the common room. They went up the stairs and into the deserted dorms.
Ron walked over to his trunk at the end of his bed and opened it. Harry was paying no attention and was lying on his back on his four-poster bed.
"Harry?" Ron walked over to the edge of Harry's bed.
Harry looked up at Ron, "Yea?"
Ron took the box of chocolates he had taken out of his trunk out from behind his back and handed them to Harry, "This is from…"
"Draco? Oh he shouldn't have! I wasn't expecting anything from him at all!" Harry finished.
Ron stood there stunned. It happened again! And this time he thought it would work for sure! But somehow it had turned right back to Malfoy again.
"Er, yea," Ron said, "From Draco."
"Oh, I should go find him and thank him!" Harry jumped out of bed and made his way out of the dorms.
"…but what about our day together?" Ron said gloomily after him, but Harry was already too far away to hear him.
