Happy Valentines Day!

I hope everyone likes this and will forgive me for making you wait to see what Jack has gotten for Elisa

(Hopefully it will be in the next chapter)

After a day of lessons and a couple of hours Quidditch Practice, Jack Fred and George were in the common room with Baby Tooth waiting for their orders from Cupid.

At around 10:15 the fire turned a mix of bright pink, white and red and out from it came a rather good looking teenager with feathered wings, a bow over his shoulder across his body, a quiver of arrows, and rather tight clothes showing off his muscles.

Upon seeing him, Baby over heated and passed out, Jack needing to catch her.

"Tune that power of yours down a bit will you Eros?" Jack asked trying to wake Baby up.

"Oh sorry," Cupid said a thinking look on his face and he became slightly less attractive.

(Eros = Greek, Cupid = Roman – they're the same just different names so Jack swaps them every now and again.)

"Um, what was that?" Fred asked confused guessing that this guy was Cupid.

"Part of the power of being the son of Aphrodite means I can control how much love I can give off my own body," he explained looking towards the little fairy "It mostly affects teenage girls and young women which is why they get so giddy around this holiday. But I can use it against boys and men should I want to or need to. I take it you're the Weasley brothers April and Evie have told me about?"

"Yep" George said holding his hand out first "George and Fred Weasley."

"That doesn't roll off the tongue as well does it?" Jack asked Baby back to being awake, red with embarrassment that it happened. "So what do you want us to do first?" he asked Cupid.

"Well first I think we should go down to the Great Hall and stop those House Elves you have here from overdoing it with that idiot's decorations," he said thinking "I've already told the Dwarfs he hired not to come tomorrow and paid them double to get them to do so. Then we need to gather up all the mail bags, and sort them so my cherubs can deliver them tomorrow to places where the receiver will secretly find them. Honestly the lead Dwarf said Lockhart said that as long as the kid got their letter, he couldn't care less how or where it was delivered."

Agreeing on those ideas, the boys and Baby all went through the school, using the Twins' map to make sure there was a clean route.

Finally they made it and saw about 20 House Elves decorating each table in reds, pinks, and whites.

Along the walls already were massive banners and bows, and in the corner was a box labelled 'Confetti'.

As they stepped inside all the elves looked up and together blinked twice and then started bowing and curtsying.

"We's be welcoming you sirs," they say together.

After Cupid recovered from his shock on this place, he started to kindly order them to take almost all of it down again.

"Does Sir not like it?" the leader, a rather old looking male Elf who the twins said was called Binky, asked worried.

"It's not that," Cupid said trying not to upset them or set any off onto punishing themselves for failing their Masters. "It's just… As the Spirit of Love, I request you try again following my orders, and allowing us to help."

Agreeing to that, Binky told his fellow elves to take everything down again, some looking a little happy with that.

After a couple of hours Cupid was happy.

The big massive ribbons were gone.

It was agreed that there would be no heart shaped, or cherub shaped confetti falling from the ceiling.

The banner was smaller with less sickening fancy writing.

And the tables were still decorated but had less things on them – only a ribbon vase of red, pink, and white roses every 20 paces.

As Jack was setting his last vase down on the Ravenclaw table he asked a question that's been annoying him for a while.

"Why is it always these three colors Eros?" he asked getting the Weasley Twins to look up also wondering.

"It goes back to Ancient Greece and Rome, on this holiday young girls and women would tie their hair in pony tails and the color ribbon would tell everyone their status." Cupid said thanking the Elves for their help "White meant she was free for the taking from any boy who might like her. Pink meant she had a date with someone but they weren't together with them yet. And red meant that they were taken and married."

After explaining that they went to the school's mail room and saw five sacks, one for each house, and one for the teachers of Valentines cards and gifts.

Taking them they went back to the Gryffindor common room, and got to work on sorting them out.

"Hey Jack found one here for you," Fred said holding it out to the boy who was starting to drift off to sleep.

"Huh wha?" he asked rolling off the window seat.

"Found one with your name on it," Fred said "Hope you got something for her…"

"What's this?" Cupid said smirking "Jack Frost has a crush?"

"It's not a crush Eros…" Jack said blushing trying to deafen his ears to the others laughs taking his letter. "I just like her a bit more than I would other girls. And yes Fred for your information I have gotten her something. It's just still upstairs."

"Oh… want to give it to her in person I see…" George asked smiling.

"No…" Jack said slowly "I just didn't want that Lockhart git to get his hands on it."

This went on for a while, but soon it died down and each sack had been sorted into each of the seven years of houses for boys and girls, and the teachers letters were tied to each other.

"Recon we can destroy some of the things for Lockhart?" Jack asked seeing the large pile "If he sees them, his head will get so bit he wouldn't be able to walk though door-ways."

"As much as I would like Jack, no. Sadly we can't. Part of the rules on being the Sprit of Love is that you need to make sure all love letters and gifts get though."

With that he pulled out of the pocket on his quiver a small set of panpipes and blew a tune into it.

Soon four lines of seven cherubs came out of nowhere and bowed before collecting their sacks.

"They should have them all sent by lunch." Cupid said to the boys "I suggest you take the next few hours to catch up on some sleep. I'll deal with the stuff for the teachers."

Agreeing Fred, George, Jack and Baby Tooth said their goodbyes.

"He was fun," Fred said smiling once Cupid had left, giving a yawn.

"Yeah, He better control that 'Good looks' charm around Ginny if she sees him though." George said.

Up in his room Jack got out Elisa's gift from his trunk so he'd remember it tomorrow and opened the letter he was sure was from her.

.

'Your hair as brown as chocolate

Your eyes are that way too

It's a wonderful surprise

Every moment I spend with you

Every day we see each other and I hope you will be mine

Together our love can overcome anything

Please will you be my Valentine?'

.

Blushing a little at how sweet it was, Jack looked at the gift again wondering if it would be enough.

Baby squeaked that 'Of course it will'.

"And you're not grumpy that it's chocolate?" Jack asked smiling settling down to sleep.

Yawning, the fairy shook her head, and went to sleep herself.
